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, due to the damage caused.
Refuelling with methane: refuel only with methane for motor vehicles. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual transmission (petrol engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; put the gear lever in neutral; fully
depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual transmission (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.
Versions with Comfort-matic transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral).
Then depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: 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 vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS
... important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your vehicle over time. Special attention
must be paid to the symbols(safety of persons)(environmental protection)(vehicle integrity).

Activation of thewarning light while
driving
If thewarning light (or symbol in
the display) comes on, this means
that the system is running a self-
diagnosis test (caused, for example, by
a voltage drop). When you stop for
the first time, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR: the warning light
will
not light up if no faults are detected.
If the warning light(or symbol on
the display) stays on, repeat the
procedure described above leaving the
key at STOP for longer than 30
seconds. If the problem persists,
contact the Fiat Dealership.
The code is not recognised if the
warning light
(or symbol on the
display) stays on. In this case, turn the
key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is
still locked, try again with the other keys
that come with the vehicle. If you still
cannot start the engine, perform the
emergency start procedure (see
chapter “In an emergency”) and then
contact the Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
1)The electronic components inside the
key may be damaged if the key is
subjected to strong shocks.
ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the
previously described remote control
functions, is controlled by the receiver
located under the dashboard near
the fuse box.
IMPORTANT The engine stop function
is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which
is automatically activated when the
ignition key is extracted from the
ignition switch.
TURNING THE ALARM ON
With the doors and bonnet closed and
the ignition key either turned to STOP
or removed, point the key with the
remote control towards the vehicle and
press and release button
.
With the exception of some markets,
the system emits an acoustic signal
("beep") and activates door locking.
A self-diagnostic stage precedes the
turning on of the alarm: if a fault is
detected, the system produces another
acoustic signal after approximately 4
seconds from switch-on.
In this case switch off the alarm by
pressing
, check that all the doors,
bonnet and tailgate are closed
correctly; then switch the alarm back
on by pressing
.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

If you want the car to run on petrol,
press the button fig. 71 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).
WARNING
31)The Fiat Fiorino Natural Power is
equipped with a high pressure methane
fuel supply system, designed to operate at
a rated pressure of 200 bar. It is dangerous
to stretch the system with higher
pressures. To prevent damage to the
methane system parts when towing or
lifting the vehicle, follow the instructions in
the main handbook in the chapter: "Towing
the vehicle". If there is a problem with the
methane system, only contact a Fiat
Dealership. Do not alter the methane
system configuration or components. They
are designed exclusively for the Fiat
Fiorino Natural Power. The use of other
components or materials could cause
malfunctions and prejudice safety.
32)When oven painting, the cylinders must
be removed from the vehicle and refitted
by a Fiat Dealership. Although the methane
system has numerous safety features, it is
advisable to close the manual tap on the
cylinders every time the vehicle is not
in use for a long period, transported on
other vehicles or moved in an emergency
as a result of a breakdown or accident.
33)If gas is smelt, switch from methane
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Fiat Dealerships to
have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults supply excluded.

What it means What to do
red
redENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
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 turns on when the engine
is overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off
the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait
for a few minutes to allow the engine to cool down,
then slowly and carefully open the cap. Top up with
coolant fluid making sure that it is included between
the MIN and MAX lines on the vessel. Also check
visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the
warning light switches on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if
the light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running and slightly
accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation,
then stop the engine. Check that the coolant level is
correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.
redLOW BATTERY CHARGE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine has started (with the engine idling a brief delay
before switching off is acceptable).
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.
51

What it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning
light turns on but it should go off after a few seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the
engine oil level falls below the minimum recommended
value.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.Restore the correct engine oil level (see “Checking fluid
levels” in the "Servicing and care" section).
redDOOR OPEN
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when
one or more doors or the boot are not properly closed.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Check that all doors or the boot (for versions/markets,
where provided) are perfectly closed.
redPOWER STEERING FAILURE
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the
warning light on the dial turns on, but it should turn off
after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on together with the message
shown on the display and a buzzer, the power steering
is ineffective and the effort on the steering wheel
increases significantly even though the vehicle can be
steered.Contact a Fiat Dealership.
53

WARNING
34)If thewarning light turns on while driving (on certain versions together with the message on the display) stop the car immediately and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
35)The warning light
may not light up when the key is turned to MAR or stay on while travelling to indicate a retaining system fault. In this
case, the airbags or the pretensioners may not be activated in the case of an accident or (in a lesser number of cases) they may be activated
incorrectly. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
36)A failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light flashing or, depending on the version, by theicon turning on
continuously on the display. In this case, thewarning light may not indicate a possible problem with the airbag restraint system. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
37)If the
warning light switches on when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display), stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
9)If the warning light switches on, the degraded engine oil must be changed as soon as possible, and never more than 500 km from the first
time that the warning light switches on. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty.
The activation of this warning light is not related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top up with oil when the warning light
starts flashing.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING
38)During regeneration, the fan could be operated.
39)The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic and weather conditions and the driver must always comply with the Highway Code.
The engine may be stopped if the DPF light is on; however, repeated interruption of the regeneration process may result in premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before stopping the engine as described above.
It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
WARNING
10)If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on, switches on constantly or flashes when driving (on
certain versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of thewarning
light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are driving.
11)The presence of water in the fuel supply circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If the
warning light comes on (on some versions along with a message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have
the system bled. If the above indication occurs immediately after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn the engine off immediately
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
65

52)Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to
the road conditions, visibility and traffic.
The driver is always responsible for road
safety.
53)The HBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
54)The HBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
55)The capability of the HBA must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.iTPMS System
(indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System iTPMS can monitor the tyre
inflation status through the wheel speed
sensors. The system warns the driver
if one or more tyres are flat by switching
on the
warning light on the
instrument panel and a warning
message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
It is advisable to check the pressure of
all four tyres. This indication is displayed
also when turning the engine off and
on until the “Reset” procedure is carried
out.
“Reset” procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the “Reset”
procedure is carried out.
The “Reset” procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is
fitted. Before carrying out the “Reset”
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the “Reset” procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the “Reset” procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Reset";
press thebutton or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Confirm";
pressbutton orto select
("Yes" to “Reset” or "No" to exit the
video page);
press thebutton again to return
to the standard screen or to the main
menu according to where you are in the
menu.
After the “Reset” the display will show
the "Reset saved" message, indicating
that the "self-learning" has been
started.

SAFETY

Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h. In a few situations such as
sporty driving, particular conditions of
the road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,
unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may
be delayed or partial in detecting the
contemporary deflation of more than
one tyre. Under special conditions (e.g.
vehicle loaded asymmetrically on one
side, towing a trailer, damaged or worn
tyre, fitting the space-saver wheel,
use of the "Fix&Go Automatic"
kit, fitting snow chains, fitting different
tyres on the axles) the system may give
false indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light
flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message. This warning is
displayed also after the engine has
been switched off and then on again if
the correct operating conditions are not
restored.

WARNING
56)The iTPMS is optimised for the original
tyres and wheels provided. iTPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
is equipped with iTPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
57)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
58)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacement system for
maintenance or a safety system.
59)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
60)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.61)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
62)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect your ability to drive the
vehicle safely.
63)Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure. This
prevents dampness or dirt from entering
the valve stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being damaged.
64)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
iTPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original ones are
used, it is recommended to have the
iTPMS sensor operation checked by a
qualified repair centre.
65)If the system signals a loss of pressure
on a specific tyre, it is recommended to
check the pressure on all four tyres.
