fuel FIAT QUBO 2010 1.G Owners Manual

READ THIS CAREFULLY!
REFUELLING
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor
vehicles conforming to the European specification
EN 590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, depending
on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Diesel engines: Turn the ignition key to MAR
and wait for the warning lightto go out.
Turn the ignition key to AVV and release as soon
as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material as this constitutes a fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the
environment.ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement
and check that the electrical system of the
vehicle can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring the
vehicle stays in tip-top condition and retains its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER'S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for
correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your vehicle over time. Particular attention
should be paid to information marked with the
following symbols:
(personal safety),(environmental protection),(car integrity).

❒If the warning light(or symbol on the display)
stays on, repeat the procedure described above
leaving the key at STOP for longer than 30
seconds. If the problem persists, contact the Fiat
Dealership.
❒The code is not recognised if the warning light
(or symbol on the display) stays on. In this
case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it
is still locked, try again with the other keys that
come with the vehicle. If you still cannot start the
engine, perform the emergency start procedure
(see chapter “In an emergency”) and then contact
the Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is subjected
to sharp knocks.

INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may
vary according to the version.
SPEEDOMETER (speed indicator)
This shows the speed of the vehicle fig. 8.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter fig. 9 shows the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system
gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine
is over-revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine
power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may
indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the engine
speed.This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate
control system or the fan. In these cases, a gradual
variation in revs is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
Warning light A fig. 10 switches on to indicate that
6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in paragraph "Vehicle
refuelling" in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty to prevent
damaging the catalytic converter.

TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The Trip computer is used to display information on
vehicle operation when the ignition key is turned
to MAR. This function allows you to define two
separate trips, called "Trip A" and "Trip B", for
monitoring the "complete mission" (journey) of the
vehicle in a reciprocally independent manner. Both
functions can be reset (start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the values relating to:
❒Outside temperature (for versions with outside
temperature sensor and methane-powered
vehicles)
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average consumption
❒Current consumption
❒Average speed
❒Travel time (driving time).
"Trip B", available on multifunction display only, is
used to display the values relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Travel time B (driving time).
“Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset .
Values displayed
Range
This indicates the distance which may be travelled
with the fuel in the tank assuming that driving style
does not change. The display will show the reading
“----“ when the following events take place:
❒range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a
long time.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several
factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in the
“Starting and driving” section), type of route
(motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start
of the new journey.

Average consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel
consumption from the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
Indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The message “----” will appear
on the display if the car is parked with the engine
running.
Average speed
This value shows the average speed of the vehicle
based on the overall time elapsed since the start of
the new journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information, the Trip
computer displays "----" in place of the value. When
normal operating conditions are restored, the
counting of the various values is resumed, without
either zeroing the values displayed prior to the
problem, or starting a new journey.Control TRIP button
The TRIP button, located on the right hand lever fig.
15 allows you to view the previously described
values as well as zero them to begin a new mission
when the ignition key is in the MAR position:
❒press briefly to display the different values;
❒long push to reset and then start a new journey.
New mission
This begins after a reset:
❒“manual” resetting by the user, by pressing the
relevant button;
❒automatically when the distance travelled reaches
9,999.9 km (miles) or when the journey time
reaches 99.59:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes);
❒disconnection/reconnection of the battery.

REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the usage
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the 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.
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, depending on 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 run also for a very short
time, you will need to have the entire fuel feed
system emptied in addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the
first click of the trigger. Further top-ups could cause
faults in the fuel feeding system.
