REFUELLING THE CAR
LPG FILLER CAP
The gas filler is located next to the petrol
filler cap. It has a one-way valve, located
in the actual filler body.
To access the filler B-fig. 9, open the ac-
cess flap Aand undo the cap C.
Observe the following precautions during
the refuelling operation:
– switch off the engine;
– apply the handbrake;
– turn the ignition key to the STOPpo-
sition;
– do not smoke;
– hand the special adapter over to the qua-
lified LPG refuelling personnel.
IMPORTANT Before refuelling, the LPG
refuelling personnel must ensure that the
adapter is correctly fitted to the filler.
WHEELS
The car does not have a spare wheel but
a tool box fig. 11that contains the “Au-
tomatic Fix&Go” quick tyre repair kit,
a tow ring and a screwdriver. The box is
located in the boot fig. 10, behind the rear
seat backrest.
To use the “Automatic Fix&Go” kit, see
the instructions in the Owner Handbook
that accompanies this supplement.

IMPORTANT Different types of fuel pump
adapters exist in the various countries
where the car is sold. The adapter that co-
mes with the car in a special case is spe-
cifically designed for the country in whi-
ch the car is sold. If you are in a different
country, find out what type of adapter is
used there.
IMPORTANT Only use LPG for mo-
tor vehicles.
IMPORTANT Look after the LPG
adapter carefully so that it does not
get damaged.

IGNITION
Static advance, electronic, integrated with
the injection. LPG FUEL SYSTEM
Electronic injection with special LPG
injectors.
Type: timed sequential Multipoint.
Stoichiometric metering of the air/gas
mixture.
Engine idle speed:
750 ±50 rpm
The LPG injection system is controlled by
a dedicated control unit (connected to the
petrol unit) using the sensors already on
the car.
Modifications or repairs to
the fuel feed system that are
not carried out properly or do not
take the system technical specifica-
tions into account can cause mal-
functions leading to a risk of fire.

(1) If special equipment is fitted (sun roof, tow hook, etc.) the unladen weight increases, thus reducing the payload in relation to
the maximum permitted loads.
(2) Loads that must not be exceeded. The user is responsible for arranging goods in the luggage compartment and/or load carrying
platform within the maximum permitted loads.
(3) Lineaccessori Fiat range roof rack bars, maximum capacity: 50 kg.

CAPACITIES

– including a reserve of . . . litres 8÷10
LPG
– maximum refuelling
capacity (*) . . . . . . . . . . . . . litres 41
(*) The figure already takes into account
the 80% tank filling limit and the residual
fluid required for the pump and the maxi-
mum permitted capacity. In addition,
said figure may vary slightly in diffe-
rent capacities owing to: differences
between network pump supply pres-
sures, pumps with different sup-
ply/stop specifications, tank not com-
pletely in reserve conditions.It should be remembered that when using
a fuel like LPG, the range is very variable
because, in addition to the driving and
maintenance conditions of the car, it also
depends on the different composition of
the gas which may vary, not only seaso-
nally, but also from supplier to supplier.
LPG is, in effect, a composition of gas (bu-
tane and propane) mixed in a way that
may not be standardized.
The Trip Computer’s range is indicative
and refers to petrol operation only.
During LPG operation, the “Instant con-
sumption” and “Average consumption”
readings are not significant, but all other
functions remain valid.
IMPORTANT Only use LPG for mo-
tor vehicles.If, when refuelling with LPG,
the tank is filled with more
than 41litres (with a toleran-
ce of 2 litres in excess), seek as-
sistance immediately from a Fiat Dea-
lership. Periodically (at least once every
six months), it is advisable to let the
LPG in the tank run out and, at the fir-
st refuelling, check that it does not ex-
ceed the maximum capacity.

50% PARAFLU

NOTE In particularly harsh climate con-
ditions, a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand
40% demineralised water is recommen-
ded.
The LPG supply system is
equipped with a “consump-
tion” 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. You are therefore
advised to fill up with fuel at the first
LPG refuelling to obtain a more preci-
se indication of the level
