fuel cap Alfa Romeo MiTo 2017 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT If the ignition key is turned
to MAR, all the LEDs will stay on for
approximately 4 seconds (check
function).
IMPORTANT If the ignition key is turned
to STOP, the LED for the operating mode
selected will stay on for approximately
2 seconds (LED 3 or 4).
Engine starting always occurs on petrol;
then, depending on the position of the
switch 1 the following occurs:
the switch pressed on the right side
(identified by the symbol
): indicates
petrol operation with activation of the
associated orange LED 3;
the switch pressed on the left side
(identified by the symbolG): indicates
LPG operation with activation of the
associated green LED 4.
If the LPG runs out, the system
automatically switches to petrol: theorange LED 3 comes on and the green
LED 4 indicating LPG operation goes off.
When the vehicle is refuelled with LPG
after a normal start-up on petrol, the fuel
system automatically returns to LPG: the
orange LED 3 switches off and the green
LED 4 for LPG operation switches on.
REFUELLING
12)
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 39 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
20)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.
21)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
22)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to an Alfa Romeo Dealership
to have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults excluded.
IMPORTANT
5)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.
6)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20°C and 100°C.

7)When using a painting oven, the LPG tank
should be removed from the car and later
carefully refitted at an Alfa Romeo
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.
8)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.
9)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 39 litres (with a tolerance of
2 litres excess). If the value is above 39 litres
(with tolerance of 2 litres excess), contact an
Alfa Romeo Dealership immediately.10)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 on the petrol/LPG switch. 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. In
this event, the performed switching is shown
by the orange (petrol) LED lit and the green
(LPG) LED off on the petrol/LPG witch. When
the above conditions stop, the system
automatically restores the LPG operation;
the orange (petrol) LED turns off and the
green (LPG) LED is lit on the switch. To
achieve the automatic switching described
above, make sure that there is always
enough fuel in the petrol tank.
11)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
12)The LPG supply system is equipped with
a "consumption" function linked to the LED
display of LPG level on the switch. This
function activates only after a consistent
variation in fuel level has been detected. It is
therefore advisable to fill up with fuel at the
first LPG refuelling to obtain a more
"precise" indication of the level.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

INSTALLING A TOW HOOK
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to
install a tow hook.
WARNING
105)The ABS with which the car is equipped
will not control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is therefore
required on slippery roads.
106)Do not, under any circumstances,
modify the vehicle's braking system to
control the trailer breaking system. The
towing braking system must be completely
independent of the vehicle's hydraulic
system.
REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
During refuelling procedure, switch off
the engine, engage handbrake, rotate the
ignition key to STOP and do not smoke.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol. The petrol
octane rating (RON) must not be lower
than 95. In order to prevent damage to
the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded
petrol, even in the event of an emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use diesel fuel compliant with
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty,
due to the damage caused.
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.
FUEL TANK CAP
107)
Opening
Open flap 1 fig. 76 pulling it outwards,
hold cap 2 still, insert the ignition key in
the lock and turn it anticlockwise. Then,turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it.
The cap has a loss prevention device
3 which secures it to the flap so that it
cannot be lost. Attach the cap to device
4 during refuelling.
Closing
Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it
clockwise until it clicks once or more.
Then, turn the key clockwise and extract
it, then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing off,
while slackening the cap is absolutely
normal.
ENGINES WITH LPGSYSTEM
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. 77 open the
access flap 1.
