The bars 2 fig. 69 on the display
indicate the level of LPG in the tank.
To guarantee switching in full safety, the
actual change to the chosen fuel
system takes place depending on the
car usage conditions; it may not
therefore be immediate. Switching is
confirmed by the switching on/off of the
green warning light
on the
instrument panel.
NOTE
When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise
the circuit can be heard. For the
switching logic described above, a
delay between the valve ticking and the
switching off of the instrument panel
indication is completely normal.In addition, when starting at outside
temperatures below approximately
–10°C, the switching times from petrol
to LPG increase to allow the pressure
regulator/reduction unit to heat up.
To change fuel type, press the
fig. 68 button on the dashboard with
the car stationary and engine running,
or while driving.
16) 17)
LPG FUEL RESERVE
When the residual quantity of LPG
drops below 1/5 of the tank capacity:
the first bar on the display 1
fig. 70 remains on;
the yellow warning light2onthe
instrument panel turns on;
an acoustic signal is emitted.This condition will last until the next
LPG refuelling, also in the event of
petrol operation.
If the LPG runs out, the system
automatically switches to petrol and the
1 fig. 67 warning light on the
dashboard turns on.
SYSTEM FAILURE SIGNALLING
In the event of an LPG system failure,
the
symbol will be displayed and all
the level bars will turn off.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible, running on petrol.
REFUELLING
18) 19)
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 50 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming; this figure represents the
maximum permitted capacity. In
addition, after different refuelling
processes, this figure may vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank
not completely run out of fuel.

IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
33)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force for
parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes
under this category.
34)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the vehicle checked and possible system
faults excluded.
IMPORTANT
12)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden to
alter the configuration of the system or its
components. The use of other components
or materials could cause malfunctions and
lead to a reduction in safety; therefore, in
the case of problems, contact a Fiat
Dealership. To prevent damage to the gas
system parts when towing or raising the
vehicle, follow the instructions in the
"Towing the vehicle" paragraph of the
Owner Handbook.
13)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20°C and 100°C.14)When painting in an oven, the LPG tank
must be removed from the car and later
refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although the
LPG system has numerous safety features,
it is advisable to proceed as follows every
time the vehicle is not in use for a long
period or moved in an emergency as a
result of a breakdown or accident: unscrew
the devices fastening the cover of the LPG
tank, then remove it. Close the LPG cock
rotating the ring nut clockwise (see
"Passive safety / active safety"). Refit the
cover and retighten the fastening devices.
15)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise the
circuit can be heard. For the switching logic
described above, a delay between the
valve ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.
16)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.17)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without a
visual indication of switching on the
instrument panel. In the event of low LPG
levels in the tank or request for high
performance (e.g. overtaking, car fully
laden, steep hills) the system may
automatically switch to petrol operation to
guarantee the engine power requested; the
green warning light
on the instrument
panel switches on to indicate this. When
the above conditions are no longer present,
the system automatically restores LPG
operation; the green warning light
switches off. To achieve the automatic
switching described above, make sure that
there is always enough fuel in the petrol
tank.
18)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG. Periodically (at least
once every six months) it is advisable to let
the LPG in the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 42 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 1 litres
excess). If the level is above 42 litres
(reserve included) contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.
19)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
44
KNOWING YOUR CAR
the space-saver wheel as soon as
possible; if possible remove the snow
chains; make sure that the load is
distributed correctly and repeat the
RESET procedure, driving on a clean
and surfaced road. If the signals persist,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
62)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
63)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
64)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
65)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™5"or7" HD
system.66)If the iTPMS system signals a pressure
decrease on the tyres, it is recommended
to check the pressure on all four tyres.
67)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
68)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold
69)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
70)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
71)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
IMPORTANT
29)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
30)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.31)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
32)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
33)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
34)Do not tamper nor operate on the radar
sensor. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
35)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™5"or7" HDsystem.
36)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.

SAFETY
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
136) 137) 138)
Before refuelling, make sure that the
fuel type is correct.
Also stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use 95 R.O.N. unleaded petrol (EN
228 specifications).
DIESEL ENGINES
61)
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available Diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun.
Further top-ups could cause faults in
the fuel feeding system.
REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
Diesel and petrol versions
"Capless Fuel" is a device at the
opening for the fuel tank which opens
and re-closes automatically when the
fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.
The "Capless Fuel" device is provided
with an inhibitor which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
unlock flap 1 fig. 131 by pressing on
the specified point and then open it;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds
in order for the fuel to flow inside the
tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap 1.
The flap is provided with a dust cover
gaiter 2 which prevents deposits of
impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.

TOPPING UPAdBlue®
DIESEL
EMISSIONS ADDITIVE (UREA)
(Diesel versions only)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
140)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue®
freezes at temperatures
lower than -11°C. If the car stands for a
long time at this temperature refilling
could be difficult. For this reason, it is
advised to park the vehicle in a garage
and/or heated environment and wait for
the urea to return to liquid state before
topping up.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on flat ground and stop
the engine by setting the start device in
the OFF position;
open the fuel flap 1 fig. 132, undo
and remove the cap 2 (blue) from the
AdBlue®
filler and place it in the
specific housing 3.Refilling with nozzles
You can fill up at any
AdBlue®
distributor.
Proceed as follows:
insert theAdBlue®
nozzle in the
filler, start refilling and stop refilling at
the first shut-off (the shut-off indicates
that the
AdBlue®
tank is full). Do not
proceed with the refilling, to prevent
spillage of
AdBlue®
;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the
AdBlue®
tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after
the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter), fill the
AdBlue®
tank with no
more than 6 litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when theAdBlue™level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 2 fig. 132back on the
AdBlue®
filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started
and the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if theAdBlue®
was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the “Refuelling
” paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANTDO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to
the reservoir. UREA freezes at
under -11 °C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the UREA, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyond
13207206J0003EM
140
STARTING AND DRIVING
the maximum level because if the
UREA freezes the system can be
damaged. Follow the instructions in
the “Topping up
AdBlue®
diesel
emissions additive (UREA)” paragraph
in this chapter.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the
fluid that has been spilled on the
ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added to
the Diesel fuel tank, this can result
in serious engine damage, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Do not add additives or other
fluids to
AdBlue®
, doing so could
damage the system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded
AdBlue®
may lead to
indications appearing on the instrument
panel display (see “Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” chapter).
Never pourAdBlue®
into another
container: it could be contaminated.
If theAdBlue®
runs out, see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter to continue
using the car normally.
AdBlue®
(UREA) storage
AdBlue®
(UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
32°C, it has a shelf life of at least one
year.
Follow the instructions on the label of
the container.
Fuel storage - Diesel Fuel
139)
In case of the storage of massive
amounts of fuel, good maintenance is
essential. The fuel contaminated with
water favours the proliferation of
"microbes". These microbes create a
"slime" that can clog the filter system
and fuel pipes. Remove water from the
supply tank and regularly replace the
filter pipe.
NOTE When a Diesel engine runs out
of fuel, air is blown through the fuel
system.
Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply
circuit is completely empty, proceed as
follows to reintroduce fuel to the tank:
open the boot and take adaptor 3
fig. 133, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap 1 fig. 131, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the boot.
Versions with LPG system
The gas filler is located next to the
petrol filler cap. It has a "non return",
located in the filler body itself.
To access the filler 2 fig. 134 open the
access flap 1.
Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
ignition key turned to the OFF
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.

WARNING
136)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
137)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
138)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
139)Do not open the fuel system at high
pressure with the engine running. The
operation of the engine creates a high fuel
pressure. A jet of high-pressure fuel can
cause serious injury or death.
140)If the
AdBlue®
overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank to over 50
°C (for example, due to direct solar
irradiation), the
AdBlue®
may decompose
and produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour when the
cap of the
AdBlue®
tank is unscrewed,
therefore be careful not to inhale any
ammonia vapours in the tank outlet. In this
concentration, however, the ammonia
vapors are not harmful or dangerous to
health.
IMPORTANT
61)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with EN
590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.
