the tank before the diesel fuel.
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 fuel. In this case,
it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with
EN590 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 star t the engine
and empty the tank. If the engine has been run,
even for only a very short time, you will need
to have the entire fuel system emptied in
addition to the tank.

Closing
Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it
clockwise until it clicks once or more.
Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close
the flap.

IN AN EMERGENCY
STARTING THE ENGINEContact a Fiat Dealership immediately if instrument
panel warning light
stays on constantly.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using
an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a
little higher than the flat one.
To start the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❒connect the positive terminals (sign + near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead
fig. 140❒with a second lead, connect the negative terminal
– of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point
on the engine or the gearbox of the car to be
started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
For versions with Start&Stop system, in case of
starting by auxiliary battery, refer to the paragraph
“Start&Stop system” in the chapter “Getting to
know your car”.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do
not persist but contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite
explosive gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another car, prevent
accidental contact between metallic parts of the
two cars.
Never use a fast batter y-charger to star t
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply control
units.
