LPG TANKThe car has a (pressurised) tank A fig.
49 for collecting LPG in a liquid state. It
is located in the spare wheel
compartment with suitable protection.LPG tank certificationThe 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
TYPEThe (petrol/LPG switch) button A fig. 50
allows drivers to select petrol or LPG
operation.
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,
next to the LPG warning. This condition
persists until the next LPG refuelling.The engine always starts up on petrol,
with automatic switching to LPG when
the best conditions are achieved
(engine water temperature, minimum
engine rpm limit) for switching to LPG.
SUPPLIES
LPGMaximum refuelling capacity (reserve
included): 38.4 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 could vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank
not completely run out of fuel.

120)Vehicle handling is modified with the
space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. The overall duration
of the space-saver wheel is about 3000
km, after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a standard tyre on a rim
that is designed for use with a space-saver
wheel. Have the wheel repaired and refitted
as soon as possible. Using two or more
space-saver wheels at the same time
is forbidden. Do not grease the threads of
the stud bolts before fitting them: they
might slip out when driving.
121)The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as raising other car models. Never
use the jack for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) tyre is punctured and chains
are needed, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. This way, with two
standard front driving wheels, you can
install the snow chains on them.
122)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.123)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, the ignition
key must be extracted, taking care not to
turn it in the wrong direction to facilitate the
extraction of the key itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being released and
the wheel assembly not being securely
retained.
WARNING
63)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel stud bolts checked.
