INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel
supply systems: one for petrol and one
for LPG.
SELECTION OF THE FUEL
SUPPLY TYPE
The car is configured for running
independently on either petrol or LPG.
The engine always starts up on petrol,
with automatic switching to LPG when
the best conditions are achieved
(engine water temperature, minimum
engine rpm limit) for switching to LPG.
In addition, it is advisable to periodically
use up the petrol in the tank (until the
reserve warning light comes on) in order
to ensure that the petrol does not
become old and possibly deteriorate.
The petrol/LPG switch fig. 47 allows
drivers to select petrol or LPG
operation.
IMPORTANT There must therefore
always be some petrol in the tank to
protect the petrol pump and to
guarantee temporary switching from
LPG to petrol operation, if high
performance is required.
PASSIVE SAFETY/ACTIVE
SAFETY
Passive safety
The car has the same passive safety
specifications as other versions. In
particular, the mountings of the tank
(located in the space-saver wheel
housing) have been designed to comply
with the Fiat safety standards for impact
tests.When running on LPG, the flow of gas
(in a liquid state) leaving the tank
passes through the specific piping to
the pressure regulator unit, where there
is a safety solenoid valve that stops the
flow of LPG when the ignition key is
removed or when the driver selects a
fuel change (decision to run on petrol).
Together with the regulator solenoid
valve, a second solenoid valve, in the
tank, closes the LPG piping at the tank
outlet.
The two solenoid valves are connected
to the fuel cut-off system (Fire
Protection System).
The LPG tank complies with the current
legal regulations of the countries where
the car is sold.

Warning light What it means
GENERAL FAILURE
When this warning light or symbol starts flashing, for versions/markets where provided, this indicates an
airbag warning light fault. In this case, the airbag may not indicate possible airbag system malfunctions.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
When this warning light or symbol turn on, it can indicate the intervention or a problem concerning the
fuel cut-off system or an engine oil pressure sensor failure.
iTPMS
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly (together with a message on
the display) to indicate that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system will go back to
normal operation when the operating conditions will allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the “Reset”
procedure after restoring the normal operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the pressure of one or more tyres is lower than
the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration
and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed. It is advisable to restore the correct pressure value (see the
"Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical specifications" section). Once the normal operating conditions of
the vehicle are restored, carry out the "Reset" procedure.
WARNING Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as the car handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system maintains its
efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system. Drive carefully and contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.

Symbol What it means
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM OPERATION
The symbol switches on in the event of fuel cut-off system intervention.
For reactivating the fuel cut-off system, refer to the description in the "Fuel cut-off system"
section in the "In an emergency" chapter. If it is still not possible to restore the fuel supply,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM FAILURE
The symbol switches on in the event of fuel cut-off system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
START&STOP SYSTEM FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the Start&Stop system. The display will show a
dedicated message. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS FAILURE
The symbol switches on to indicate a failure on the following lights: daytime running lights
(DRL); parking lights; side lights; direction indicators; rear fog light; reversing light; number
plate lights.
The failure may be caused by a blown bulb, a blown protection fuse or an interruption of the
electrical connection.
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE
The symbol switches on in the event of fuel level sensor failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
LPG FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE
The symbol switches on in the event of LPG fuel level sensor failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
POSSIBLE ICE ON ROAD
The symbol turns on when the outside temperature falls to or below 3°C.
IMPORTANT In the event of outside temperature sensor failure, the digits that indicate the
value are replaced by dashes.
DUSK SENSOR FAILURE
The symbol switches on along with a message on the display in the event of dusk sensor
failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

IN AN EMERGENCY
A punctured tyre or a burnt-out bulb?
At times, a problem may interfere with
our journey.
The pages on emergencies can help
you to deal with critical situations
independently and with calm.
In an emergency we recommend that
you call the freephone number found in
the Warranty Booklet.
It is also possible to call the national or
international universal freephone
number to search for the nearest Fiat

FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Diesel and petrol versions
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply
with the engine consequently switching
off;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
turning on of the lights inside the
vehicle;
deactivation of climate control
system ventilation;
switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press the
button on the dashboard).
On some versions, the intervention of
the system is indicated by a message
shown on the display. In the same way,
a dedicated message on the display
warns the driver if system operation is
compromised.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the vehicle
for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the vehicle or near
the tank area. After a collision, bring the
ignition device to STOP to prevent the
battery from running down.
LPG versions
(where provided)
On LPG versions, in addition to the
above, the fuel cut-off system stops
petrol supply immediately, closes the
LPG safety solenoid valve and stops
injection, consequently shutting off the
engine.
