clutch FIAT FIORINO 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

READ THIS CAREFULLY!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with an octane rating (RON) of no less than
95 conforming to the European specification EN
228.
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor
vehicles conforming to the European specification
EN 590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, depending
on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is
engaged, set the gearshift lever to neutral, fully
depress the clutch without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV
and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: Turn the ignition key to MAR and
wait for the warning light
to go out. Turn
the ignition key to AVV and release as soon as
the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material as this constitutes a fire
hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement
and check that the electrical system of the
vehicle can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring the
vehicle stays in tip-top condition and retains its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER'S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for
correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your vehicle over time. Particular attention
should be paid to information marked with the
following symbols:
(personal safety),(environmental protection),(car integrity).

If necessary (when overtaking for instance)
acceleration is possible by simply pressing the
accelerator pedal: releasing the accelerator pedal, the
car will return to the speed memorised previously.
Restoring the stored speed
If the device has been switched off, for example by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
accelerate gently until a speed close to that stored
one is reached;
engage the gear selected when storing the speed;
press button B fig. 53.
Increasing the stored speed
This can be done in two ways:
by pressing the accelerator and memorizing the
new speed reached;or
by moving the lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a
slight increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while
keeping the lever upwards will correspond to a
continuous speed increase.
Reducing the memorised speed
This can be done in two ways:
by switching off the device and then storing the
new speed;
or
by moving the lever downwards (-) until the new
speed, which will be automatically stored, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk will correspond to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will continuously reduce
the speed.
Switching the device off
The device can be switched off by the driver in the
following ways:
by turning the ring A to the OFF position;
by stopping the engine.
Deactivating the function
The device can be switched off by the driver in the
following ways:

WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine stops with
the gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops with the
brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained even if the brake
pedal is not depressed, if the gear lever is in position
N.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped automatically
after a speed of about 10 km/h is reached, to prevent
the engine from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled by the icon
fig. 105 on the display, depending on the trim level.Engine restarting mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Press the clutch pedal to allow the engine to be
restarted.

STARTING AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an immobiliser: if the engine
fails to start, see the paragraph on “The Fiat CODE
system” in the “Knowing your vehicle” section.
The engine may be noisier during the first few
seconds of operation, particularly after a long period
of inactivity. This is due to the hydraulic tappets,
the timing system chosen for petrol engine versions
to reduce the number of servicing interventions,
and affects neither functionality nor reliability.
It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessive intense braking, etc .) during
the initial period of use.
When the engine is switched off never
leave the key on (at MAR) to prevent
unnecessary consumption and draining
the battery.
WARNING
It is dangerous to have the engine
running indoors.The engine takes in
oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the brake booster and
electric power steering are not
operational until the engine has been started,
so you need to apply much more force than
usual to the brake pedal and steering wheel.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
apply the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the
moment the engine starts.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the
procedure.
If the
warning light remains on together with
warning light
when the ignition key is at MAR,
turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light stays on, try with the other keys
provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine, perform an
emergency start (see “Emergency starting” in the “In
an emergency” section) and go to a Fiat Dealership.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
apply the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
turn the key on (MAR position): instrument panel
warning light
will light up;
wait for the warning lightsandto go out.
The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will
happen;
press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the
warning light goes out. Waiting too long will
waste the heating work carried out by the glow
plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.IMPORTANT With the engine cold, the accelerator
pedal must be fully released when you turn the
ignition key to AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the
procedure.
If the
warning light stays on when the ignition key
is at MAR, turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if the engine still does not
start.
Warning lightwill blink for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged
cranking to indicate a fault to the glow
plug heating system. Use the vehicle normally if
the engine starts, but go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
do not demand to performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge
starts moving.

Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight , could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.The
clutch pedal should be used only for gear
changes. Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal, however slightly.The electronic
clutch control could cut in by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault (for versions/
markets, where provided).SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for fuel saving and
reducing harmful emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Particulate Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affect fuel consumption
and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effect
