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 vehicle 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 laws of that
country. In any case, when the time limit
in the individual country has run out,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
tank replaced.
SELECTION OF
PETROL/LPG SUPPLY
TYPE
35)14) 15) 16)
The (petrol/LPG switch) button A fig. 39
allows drivers to select petrol or LPG
operation.To guarantee switching in absolute
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.
If the LPG runs out, switching to petrol
takes place automatically. In this case
the display shows the
icon just
above wording LPG and the four bars
of the digital gauge turn off.

Maximum refuelling capacity (reserve
included): 30.5 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required
for correct priming and it is 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.
WARNING
33)It should be pointed out that in some
countries (including Italy) there are legal
restrictions in force for parking/garaging
motor vehicles with gas that has a higher
density than air; LPG comes under this
category.
34)Modifications or repairs to the fuel
system that are not carried out correctly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to a fire risk.
35)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
WARNING
9)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20 °C and 100 °C.
10)If, during LPG operation, the same runs
out, the vehicle switches to petrol
automatically and all the bars of the digital
gauge on the display switch off; this
displaying remains until the following LPG
refuelling.

The methane, stored in the cylinders at
high pressure, flows through a
dedicated pipe to reach the pressure
regulator/reduction unit which supplies
the two methane injectors at low
pressure (about 9 bar).
Cylinder certification
The methane cylinders are certified in
accordance with ECE Regulation
110.
The cylinders must be inspected, in
accordance with ECE Regulation
Procedure no. 110, every 4 years from
the vehicle registration date or in
accordance with specific regulations in
individual countries.
The plates provided by the Dealership
with the on board documentation
contain the date for the first inspection
of the cylinders. Methane refuelling
stations are not authorised to refill the
cylinders when the inspection date has
expired.IMPORTANT If the vehicle has been
registered in a country other than Italy,
the certification data, identification
and inspection procedures for
the methane cylinders should conform
to the legislation in that country. In
any case, remember that the life of the
cylinders is 20 years from the
production date as set out in ECE
Regulation no. 110.

This engine normally runs on methane
except during starting, when it runs
on petrol.
The (petrol/methane switch) button A
fig. 42 allows drivers to select petrol or
methane operation.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.
In addition, when starting at outside
temperatures below approximately
–10°C, the switching times from petrol
to methane increase to allow the
pressure regulator/reduction unit to
heat up.
If the methane has run out, switching to
petrol takes place automatically. In this
case, the four bars of the digital gauge
switch off and the green warning light
on the instrument panel switches on.

With the ECO function active, the
system will select the most suitable
gear depending on the vehicle speed,
engine rpm and intensity with which the
accelerator pedal is pressed, with the
aim of limiting fuel consumption.
“Kick Down” FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking),
the system downshifts one or more
gears when the accelerator pedal
is depressed beyond the point where it
becomes stiff (and if the rpm allow it)
in order to provide suitable power and
torque for the acceleration requested
by the driver.
IMPORTANT The use of the “Kick
Down” function is recommended only
when overtaking or accelerating quickly,
in order not to increase fuel
consumption.
WARNING
43)Avoid keeping your hand on this lever
except during gear change or AUTO/
MANUAL mode requests.
STOP/START
SYSTEM
126) 127)44)
The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine when the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off. This
reduces consumption, the emission of
harmful gases and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Engine stopping mode: with the
vehicle stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal
released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding a speed
of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
Restarting the engine: press the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.
MANUAL SYSTEM
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system
manually, press the
fig. 82 button on
the dashboard control trim.
LED off: system deactivated.
LED on: system deactivated.
WARNING
126)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. The
replacement battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should have the
same characteristics.
127)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Please
follow the instructions on the decal near
the front crossmember. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the vehicle. Exit
from the vehicle only after having removed
the ignition key or having rotated it to the
STOP position. During refuelling, make sure
that the engine is off and that the ignition
key is in the STOP position.

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
131) 132) 133)
Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) no lower than
95. Never introduce even the smallest
amount of leaded petrol, even in the
event of an emergency, in order to
prevent damage to the catalytic
converter.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the car for a
