If the methane has run out, switching to
petrol takes place automatically. In this
case the display shows the
icon
just above the CNG wording and all the
bars of the edges for the empty
notches light up constantly, regardless
of the type of supply; see fig. 67 or
fig. 68.If you want the car to run on petrol,
press the button fig. 69 located
between the controls in the dashboard.
The LED on the button switching on
indicates that the request for switching
has taken place correctly.The actual change to the chosen fuel
system takes place depending on
the vehicle usage conditions to
guarantee switching in absolute safety
and will be confirmed by the
warning
light in the instrument panel display
coming on/going off.
Manual switching of the operating
mode from petrol to methane and
vice versa only occurs if the engine
speed is below 2000 rpm.
In addition, in the case of starting at
outside temperatures of below around
-10°C, the switching times from Petrol
to Methane increase to allow the
pressure regulator/reduction unit to
become warm enough.
IMPORTANT If switching takes place
during acceleration or pick-up, there
may be a brief flat spot (drop in power).

What it means What to do
amberEOBD engine management system failure
(petrol versions)
This indicates that the warning light is working
correctly. If the warning light stays on or turns on when
travelling:
fixed: this means there is a fault in the supply/
ignition system which could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor handling and
high fuel consumption levels. On some versions the
display shows the dedicated message. Under these
conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at
moderate speed without demanding excessive effort
from the engine. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the
warning light on may cause damage.
blinking: this indicates possible damage to the
catalytic converter (see “EOBD system” in the
“Knowing the instrument panel” chapter). If the light is
on and blinking, release the accelerator pedal to lower
the speed of the engine until the warning light stops
flashing.If the light is fixed, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible. The warning light switches off if the
malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the
system.
If the light is blinking: continue the journey at moderate
speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may
cause further flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
amberABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light will light up when the system is either
not working or not available. In this case the braking
system maintains its efficiency unaltered but without
the advantage of the ABS system.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.

NOTE The accelerator pedal does not
have to be released whilst changing
gear. If the gear change request may
adversely affect the correct operation of
the engine and the transmission, the
system will not allow it.
WARNING
30)Avoid keeping your hand placed on this
lever in between gear changes or
Auto/Manual mode.
CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic driving aid that
allows you to drive at a speed of above
30 km/h on long and straight dry roads
with few driving changes (e.g.
motorways) at a preset speed without
having to press the accelerator pedal. It
is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
Turning the device on
When the device is activated, light
comes on together with the relevant
message on the instrument panel (for
versions/markets, where provided).
The speed adjustment function cannot
be activated in 1
stor reverse gear; it
is advisable to activate the function in
4
thor higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
activated, the vehicle speed may
exceed the memorised one.
Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 109 to the ON
position and press the accelerator
pedal so that the vehicle reaches the
desired speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it. The
vehicle speed is now stored and you
can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking)
acceleration is possible by simply
pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal the car
will return to the speed stored
previously.
Restoring the stored speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by depressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the stored speed can be
restored as follows:
accelerate progressively until a
speed close to that stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
press button B fig. 109.

check that the position of the
replaced wheel under the platform is
correct (the lifting system is equipped
with a clutch to limit the end of the
stroke, incorrect positioning may
jeopardise safety;)
lift the wheel by fastening the bolt A
fig. 121;
put jack and tools back in the
specific tool bag;
reposition the tool bag behind the
left seat (Cargo versions) or in the boot
(Combi versions);
secure the tool box to the hooks.
WARNING
108)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute
a serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing.109)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
110)The spare wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided) is specifically for
your vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not use spare
wheels of other models on your vehicle.
The spare wheel must be used only in an
emergency. Use of the spare wheel must
be strictly reduced to the necessary
minimum.
111)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out
of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. If you are on
a slope or uneven surface, place wedges
or other suitable objects under the wheels
to secure the vehicle. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.
112)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other
use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change summer/
winter wheels and vice versa: we advise
you to contact a Fiat Dealership. Never go
under the raised vehicle: use it only in
the positions indicated.Do not use the jack for loads higher than
the one shown on its label. Never start the
engine with vehicle raised. If the vehicle
is raised more than necessary, everything
can become more unstable, with the risk of
the vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
113)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,
referring to the values shown in the
"Technical data" chapter.
114)Never use the space-saver spare
wheel for more than strictly necessary and
never exceed 80 km/h. On the space-saver
wheel there is an orange label,
summarising the main warnings regarding
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover
the label. Warning! For temporary use only!
80 km/h max.! Replace by standard wheel
as soon as possible.
WARNING
35)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw"
and joints) can also cause injuries: do not
touch them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the fixing bolts checked.
