FIAT PANDA LPG
FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
In the case of LPG operation as well, the
safety switch is triggered if the car is in-
volved in an impact immediately cutting off
the supply (safety solenoid valve closed)
and causing the engine to cut out.
For further information, see the “Fuel cut
off switch” paragraph in the “Knowing
your car” chapter in the Owner Hand-
book.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine is always started on petrol
even with the switch in the LPG position
(green LED flashing, yellow LED on con-
stantly) and switches from petrol to LPG
automatically soon after.
There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump.
To carry out the starting manoeuvre cor-
rectly, see the warnings and advice in the
Owner’s Handbook under the chapter
Starting the engine enclosed with this
Supplement.
In this situation, you can con-
tinue driving, with the car run-
ning on petrol (excluding the
LPG fuel system). To turn off
the acoustic warning press button A:
the green LED ON will go out and the
yellow LED OFF will remain on con-
stantly. Go to a Fiat Dealer as soon as
possible to have the system checked.
System failure signalling
The car has a self-diagnosis system capa-
ble of signalling any malfunctions in the
LPG fuel system through the green LED
ON fig. 7flashing. In the case of faults that
could affect the correct operation of the
engine, the LPG control unit will auto-
matically switch from LPG operation to
running on petrol.
This condition will be shown by:
– the yellow LED OFF on constantly;
– the green LED ON flashing;
– an acoustic warning from the switch
buzzer (slow frequency).
