IMPORTANT The Dualdrive electric
power steering has an electronic
damping effect while approaching the
end of stroke. In some manoeuvring
conditions, the steering wheel might
rotate a bit before touching its
mechanical stop. This behaviour is
standard as it takes place to prevent
strong impacts on the mechanical
components inside the device.POWER STEERING
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
33) 34)
Activation/deactivation: press the fig.
46 button.
The activation of the function is
signalled by the switching on of the
LED located on the button and by the
displaying of the word CITY on the
instrument panel or, depending on the
version, on the display.When the power steering is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
WARNING
33)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in non-compliance
of the vehicle with type-approval
requirements.
34)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always turn off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.
VERSION WITH LPG
SYSTEM
35) 36) 37)16) 17) 18) 19) 20) 21) 22)
INTRODUCTIONThe LPG version features two fuel
supply systems: one for petrol and one
for LPG.PASSIVE SAFETY/ACTIVE
SAFETYAlthough 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 fixing devices A fig. 47,
then remove the cover B;
❒close the LPG cock by rotating the
ring nut C fig. 48 clockwise;
❒refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.

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
35)Please note 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.
36)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
37)If gas is smelled, switch from methane
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the vehicle checked and possible system
faults excluded.
WARNING
16)The vehicle 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. When
towing or lifting the car, follow the
instructions in the paragraph on "Towing
the car" to prevent damage to the gas
methane system parts.17)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20 °C and 100 °C.
18)When painting in an oven, the LPG
tank must be removed from the vehicle and
later refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although
the LPG system has numerous safety
features, it is advisable to proceed
as follows every time the car is not in use
for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident: unscrew the fastening devices of
the LPG tank, then remove it. Close the
LPG cock rotating the ring nut C clockwise
(see "Passive/active Safety"). Refit the
cover and retighten the fastening devices.
19)Only use LPG fuel for motor vehicles.
20)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 38.4 litres
(reserve included) (with a tolerance of 2
litres excess). If the level is above 38.4 litres
(reserve included) contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
21)When switching from petrol to methane
is requested, a metal noise is heard from
the valves which pressurise the circuit. As a
result of the switching logic described
above, the delay between the ticking of the
valve and the switching off of the warning
on the instrument panel is entirely normal.22)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or supply of LPG with low
content of propane, the system may
temporarily switch to petrol operation,
without indicating the performed switching
on the instrument panel. 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; the
green warning light on the instrument
panel switches on to indicate this. When
the above conditions are no longer
present, the system automatically restores
LPG operation; the green warning light
switches off. To achieve the above
automatic switching, make sure that there
is enough fuel in the petrol tank.

Emergency refuellingProceed as follows:
❒open the luggage compartment and
take the adapter, located in the tool box
or in the Fix&Go Automatic container
(according to the versions);
❒open the flap A pulling it outwards, fit
the dispenser in the filler as shown in
fig. 101 and start refuelling;
❒after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
❒reintroduce the adapter in the box
and put this back in the luggage
compartment.LPG versionsFor refuelling, open the fuel flap A fig.
102 and undo plug B. During refuelling,
hand over the suitable filling adaptor
C fig. 102 to the LPG refuelling
operators.IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
LPG refuelling pumps. Filler adapter,
supplied with the vehicle and located in
a special case, is specifically designed
for the country in which the vehicle is
sold. If you are in a different country,
find out what type of adaptor is used
there.
Natural Power versions
62)
For refuelling, open the flap A fig. 103,
undo cap B turning it counterclockwise
and reach the filler C.
The profile of the filler for refilling is the
universal type compatible with Italian
and NGV1 standards. In some
European countries adapters are
considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in Germany).
WARNING
115)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the vehicle. Using non-approved
objects/plugs may cause pressure
increase in the tank, leading to dangerous
conditions.
116)Do not get close to the filler of the
tank with naked flames or lit cigarettes: risk
of fire. Do not get too close to the filler
with your face, in order not to inhale
harmful vapours.
117)Do not use a mobile phone near the
fuel pump: risk of fire.
