oil temperature FIAT QUBO 2014 1.G Owners Manual

Electric devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen/rear window wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of energy,
therefore increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25%
in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The air conditioner leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect
aerodynamics and fuel consumption.DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel consumption
are listed below.
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when
the vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to
warm up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is advisable to set off
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs: this allows
the engine to warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when stationary at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. The latter action, like
double declutching, is unnecessary and increases
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road
conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase fuel consumption.
In the same way, improper use of a high gear
increases fuel consumption, emissions and engine
wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption increases considerably with speed.
Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary

braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of both
fuel consumption and emissions.

WARNING
Always drive at a speed appropriate to
the traffic conditions, the weather
and the laws in force.The engine may be turned
off while the DPF light is on; however, repeated
interruption of the regeneration process may
result in premature degradation of engine
oil. For this reason, it is always advisable to wait
for the light to go off before turning off the
engine, following the instructions appearing
above. It is recommended to complete DPF
regeneration with the vehicle stationar y.FUEL RESERVE (amber)
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. The warning light switches on when about
6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light will blink to indicate
a system failure. If this is the case, go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
GLOW PLUG PREHEATING/GLOW
PLUG FAULT (amber)
Glow plugs preheating
This warning light comes on when the key is turned
to MAR. It will go out as soon as the glow plugs have
reached a preset temperature.
Start the engine as soon as the warning light goes
out.
IMPORTANT When it is particularly warm outside,
the warning light stays on for an extremely short
time.
Glow plug preheating fault
The warning light flashes if there is a fault in the
preheating system. Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.WATER IN DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light
turns on when there is water
in the diesel fuel filter.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlamps, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen wash/wipe system and
