What it means What to do
amberGENERAL FAILURE INDICATION
(Versions with multifunction display)
The warning light turns on in the following
circumstances:
If the fuel inertia cut-off switch is activated
Light failure (rear fog lamps, direction indicators,
brake lights, number plate lights, side lights, daytime
running lights, main beam automatism, trailer direction
indicators, trailer side lights)The failure relating to these lights could be: one or
more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a break
in the electrical connection.
Airbag warning light failure (generic failure warning
light flashing)In this case, the warning light may not indicate
problems with the restraint systems. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.
Rain sensor failure
Diesel filter sensor failure
Trailer connection failure
Audio system failure
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
Parking sensor failure
Water in diesel fuel filterContact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have
the fault fixed.
FOR VERSIONS WITH A MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY,
THE WARNING LIGHT ALSO TURNS ON IN THE
FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:
Engine oil level sensor failure
Insufficient engine oil level

Fuel storage - Diesel Fuel
133)
In case of the storage of massive
amounts of fuel, good maintenance is
essential. The fuel contaminated with
water favours the proliferation of
"microbes". These microbes create a
"slime" that can clog the filter system
and fuel pipes. Remove water from the
supply tank and regularly replace the
filter pipe.
NOTE When a diesel engine runs out of
fuel, air is blown through the fuel
system.
AdBlue storage (UREA)
AdBlue (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life. If is
stored at temperatures between -12
°C and 32 °C, it can be stored at least
for a year.
Since UREA can freeze at temperatures
at or below -11 °C, the system was
designed to operate also in these cold
environments, thanks to an automatic
heating system which operates when
the engine is started.NOTE When you need to keep the
AdBlue (UREA), it is important to know
that:any container or part that comes in
contact with the UREA must be compatible
with it (plastic or stainless steel). Materials
such as copper, brass, aluminium, iron
or stainless steel is not as susceptible to
corrosion by UREA are to be avoided;
if UREA is spilled from a container,
completely clean the area.
METHANE ENGINES
(NATURAL POWER)
METHANE GAS FILLER
The methane filler is located near the
petrol filler.
To access the filler, unscrew the cap A
fig. 139.The profile of the filler is of the universal
type, compatible with Italian and NGV1
standards.
In some European countries adapters
are considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in
Germany).
For service stations with cubic metre
(m3) nozzles (pressure differential),
to measure the residual pressure in the
cylinder, the non-return valves must
be released by delivering a small
amount of methane.
The other plates (provided with the
vehicle documentation) contain the date
for the first inspection of the cylinders.

WARNING
129)Do not approach naked flames or lit
cigarettes to the fuel tank filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
130)To avoid fuel spillage and the
exceeding of the maximum level, avoid
topping up after filling the tank.
131)Any fuel pumping in portable
containers located on a floor can cause a
fire. Danger of burns. Always put the fuel
container on the ground during filling. Avoid
using contaminated fuel: a fuel
contaminated with water or earth can
cause serious damage to the motor supply.
Proper maintenance of the fuel filter, of
the engine and the fuel tank is essential.
132)If AdBlue overheats for a prolonged
period inside the tank to over 50 ° C (for
example due to direct solar irradiation),
AdBlue can decompose ammonia vapours.
Ammonia vapours have a pungent odour
when the cap of the AdBlue tank is
unscrewed, therefore be careful not to
inhale any ammonia vapours in the tank
outlet. In this concentration, however, the
ammonia vapors are not harmful or
dangerous to health.
133)Do not open the fuel system at high
pressure with the engine running. The
operation of the engine creates a high fuel
pressure. A jet of high-pressure fuel can
cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
35)Only refuel with automotive diesel
complying with the European specification
EN 590. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, due to the damage caused. If
you accidentally introduce other types of
fuel into the tank, do not start the engine.
Empty the tank. If the engine has been run
for even an extremely limited amount of
time, you must not only drain the fuel tank,
but the rest of the supply circuit as well.
36)Methane refuelling stations are not
authorised to refill the cylinders when the
inspection date has expired. The check
valve prevents the methane from flowing
back to the fuel filler.
37)If the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the certification
data, identification and inspection
procedures for the methane cylinders
should conform to the legislation in that
country. In any case, it should be
remembered that the life of the cylinders is
20 years from the production date as set
out in ECE Regulation no. 110.

check that the fluid level is at the
MAX mark on the dipstick attached to
the reservoir cap F fig. 208 - fig. 209
- fig. 210 - fig. 211 (use the level shown
on the 20°C side of the dipstick to
check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is
lower than the specified level, top up
using only one of the products
indicated in the "Fluid and lubricants"
table in the "Technical specifications"
section, proceeding as follows:
Start the engine and wait for the fluid
level in the tank to stabilise.
With the engine running, turn the
steering wheel from right to left fully
several times.
Top up the fuel to the MAX level and
then retighten the cap.

To add fluid:
remove the cap D fig. 208 - fig. 209
- fig. 210 - fig. 211 by pulling the
retaining tooth outwards;
pull the opening of the pipe upwards
to extract the telescopic funnel fig.
213.IMPORTANT To prevent the cap from
being damaged and interfering with the
adjacent mechanical parts, make sure
that it is correctly oriented as shown
in fig. 213 before opening it. Otherwise,
turn it until it reaches the correct
position.
Fill according to the following
instructions:
Use a mixture of water and PETRONAS
DURANCE SC 35, in the following
concentrations:30% PETRONAS DURANCE SC 35
and 70% water in summer.
50% PETRONAS DURANCE SC 35
and 50% water in winter.
At temperatures below -20°C, use
undiluted PETRONAS DURANCE SC
35 fluid.
To close the cap, operate as follows:
push the funnel fully until it locks;
close the cap.

Undo the cap E fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig.
210 - fig. 211 and check that the fluid
in the reservoir is at the maximum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the "Fluids
and lubricants" table (see "Technical
Specifications").
NOTE Carefully clean the plug of the
reservoir and the surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal to
or lower than 0.12 mm.

(§) Range on Methane: 400 km
(°°) The amount of methane depends on the outside temperature, the supply pressure, the quality of the gas and the type of refuelling system. The total volume of
the cylinders is about 220 litres (218.5 nominal) for all versions.

(****) When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh weather conditions, we recommend using a 60-40 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand demineralised water.
IMPORTANT Note that when using a fuel like methane, the range is extremely variable because in addition to the vehicle
maintenance and driving conditions it also depends on the temperature of the gas in the cylinder. The methane actually heats
up during the refuelling and cools down whilst driving, undergoing variations in pressure that reduce the quantity that can
be used.
