AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler
is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump filler.
Use petrol with a rated octane number (R.O.N.) not
lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to harmful
exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amount or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalyst beyond repair.
The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European
Specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has been run even
for only a very short time, in addition to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel
circuit.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin and could
clog the fuel filter.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season: summer
type, winter type and arctic type (cold mountain
areas).
If refuelling with diesel type not suitable for cold
temperatures, add TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in
the proportions stated on the can, pouring first the
antifreeze in the tank and then the diesel fuel.
If driving or parking the vehicle for a long period in
cold areas/mountains, refuel with the diesel fuel
available at local filling stations.
In this situation you are also recommended to have in
the tank an amount of fuel 50% higher than usable
capacity.

DRAINING THE CONDENSE (diesel versions)
IMPORTANT The presence of water in the fuel circuit
can severely damage the injection system and make
the engine misfire. If the warning light
cturns on,
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have
the bleeding operation carried out.
If the warning light comes on immediately after
refuelling, water is probably present in the tank: turn
the engine off immediately and contact Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
Fiat Multipla battery is of the “Limited maintenance”
type: under normal conditions of use it does not
require topping up with distilled water.
CHECKING THE BATTERY FLUID LEVEL
(electrolyte)
Check the electrolyte level (and top up if required) at
the intervals shown in the Service Schedule in this
section. Have this operation carried out at Fiat
Dealership.
Batteries contain substances that are very harmful for the environment. You are advised to have
the battery changed at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly equipped for disposing of used batteries
respecting nature and law.
The liquid in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes and
skin. Do not bring naked flames or possible sources of sparks near to the battery:
risk of fire and explosion.WARNING
