steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.

is being turned, the change of force will
only be felt when it is turned in the
opposite direction, or the steering
wheel is released.

any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
29)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse

VERSION WITH LPG
SYSTEM
(where provided)
33) 34)
12) 13) 14) 15)
INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel
supply systems: one for petrol and one
for LPG.
PASSIVE SAFETY /
ACTIVE SAFETY
Passive safety
The car has the same passive safety
specifications as other versions. In
particular, the mountings of the tank
(located in the space-saver wheel
housing) have been designed to comply
with the Fiat safety standards for impact
tests.
When running on LPG, the flow of gas
(in a liquid state) leaving the tank
passes through the specific piping to
the pressure regulator unit, where there
is a safety solenoid valve that stops the
flow of LPG when the ignition key is
removed or when the driver selects a
fuel change (decision to run on petrol).Together with the regulator solenoid
valve, a second solenoid valve, in the
tank, closes the LPG pipe at the tank
outlet.
The two solenoid valves are connected
to the fuel cut-off system (Fire
Protection System).
The LPG tank complies with the current
legal regulations of the countries where
the car is sold.
Active safety
The car has the same active safety
specifications as other versions.
Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable
to proceed as follows every time the car
is not in use for a long period or moved
in an emergency as a result of a
breakdown or accident:
unscrew the fixing devices 1 fig. 65,
then remove the cover 2;
close the LPG cock rotating the ring
1 fig. 66clockwise;
refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.
41
IMPORTANT If gas is smelt, switch from
LPG operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to the Fiat Dealership to
have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults excluded.LPG TANK
The car has a pressurised tank for
storing LPG in a liquid state. It is
toroidal and is located in the spare
wheel compartment with suitable
protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If
the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration
and the testing/inspection procedures
of the LPG tank can vary depending on
the national provisions in force in that
country. In all case, when the time limit
for your country has expired, go to a
Fiat Dealer to have the tank replaced.
LPG/PETROL SWITCH
This engine normally runs on LPG
except during starting when it runs on
petrol. Switching to LPG is automatic,
the warning light
1 fig. 67 on the
instrument panel, switches off.If you specifically want to use petrol,
press the button on the dashboard
fig. 68. If the LED located above the
button turns on, it indicates that
switching has taken place correctly.
Regardless of the last fuel system used,
at the following engine starting, after the
initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to LPG.
