INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel
supply systems: one for petrol and one
for LPG.
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.
Active safety
The car has the same active safety
specifications as other versions.
Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable
to proceed as follows every time the
vehicle is not in use for a long period or
moved in an emergency as a result of a
breakdown or accident:
unscrew the fixing devices 1 fig. 47,
then remove the cover 2;
close the LPG cock rotating the ring
1 fig. 48 clockwise;
refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.IMPORTANT If gas is smelt, switch from
LPG operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to the Fiat Dealership to
have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults excluded.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this section in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.
NOTE The warning lights and icons described below are indicative and can change based on the version or market.
Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
redINSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / PARKING BRAKE ON
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has
switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the parking brake is engaged.
redPOWER STEERING FAILURE
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on when the ignition device is brought to MAR, but it
should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you could
not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be increased;
steering is, however, possible. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
redFAULT IN AT6 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light or symbol switches on to indicate that there is a failure in the automatic transmission.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.18)

Warning light What it means
redAIR BAG FAILURE
If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.
33) 34)
WARNING
33)If, when the ignition device is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on or stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this case the airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of cases,
they may be deployed accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
34)The failure of the
warning light is signalled by the lighting up of theicon on the instrument panel display (or, for versions where
provided, by the flashing of the generic failure warning light). In this case, the warning light may not indicate any faults with the restraint
systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
Amber warning lights
Warning light What it means
amberGENERAL 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.

Warning light What it means
amberINJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it
should switch off as soon as the engine is started. The operation of the warning light may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.
20)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly.
The warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption. The warning
light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system. Under these conditions, the
vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the engine
or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the accelerator
pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. 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.
UREA INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE (Diesel versions)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on, together with a dedicated message on the display (for versions/markets,
where provided) if a fluid not conforming with the nominal characteristics is inserted o if an average
consumption of UREA over 50% is detected.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
If the problem is not solved, a specific message will appear on the instrument panel display whenever a
certain threshold is reached until it will no longer be possible to start the engine.
When 200 km will remain to prevent the engine restart, a continuous dedicated message will appear on the
dashboard (for versions/markets, where provided) accompanied by an acoustic warning sound.
IMPORTANT

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

In the event of an imminent impact the
system may intervene by braking the
car to prevent the crash or reduce its
effects.
When the system detects the risk of
collision, it gives the driver acoustic and
visual signals through specific
messages on the instrument panel
display. The warnings are intended to
allow the driver to react promptly, in
order to prevent or reduce the effects of
a potential accident.
If the system does not detect any
action by the driver, it can intervene by
braking automatically to attenuate the
potential accident (automatic braking). If
the system detects that the driver is
pressing the brake pedal, but this is not
deemed sufficient, the system may
intervene in order to improve the
reaction of the braking system,therefore reducing car speed further
(additional assistance during braking).
Versions equipped with Start&Stop
system: at the end of the automatic
braking, the Start&Stop system will
activate as described in paragraph
"Start&Stop system" of the "Starting
and driving" chapter.
Versions with manual transmission:
at the end of the automatic braking the
engine may stall and turn off, unless the
driver presses the clutch pedal.
For versions with automatic
transmission: the last gear stored
remains engaged after braking. The
vehicle could start up again after a few
seconds of automatic stop.
IMPORTANT After the car is stopped,
the brake callipers may be locked for
about 2 seconds for safety reasons.
Make sure you press the brake pedal if
the vehicle moves slightly forwards.
Engagement/disengagement
The Full Brake Control can be
deactivated (and subsequently
reactivated) through the instrument
panel Menu.
NOTE With theUconnect™5"
system, some Menu items are shown
and managed on the display of the
latter and not on the instrument panel
display (refer to the dedicatedMultimedia chapter or to the
supplement available online).
The system can be turned off even with
the ignition device at MAR.
IMPORTANT The system status can be
changed with vehicle at a standstill only.
The Full Brake Control can be set by
selecting one of the 3 Menu options:
System active: the system (if active),
in addition to the visual and acoustic
warnings, can provide automatic
braking and additional assistance
during braking, if the driver does not
brake hard enough in the event of a
potential accident with the vehicle in
front;
System partially active: the system (if
active), does not give the visual and
acoustic warnings, but can provide
automatic braking and additional
assistance during braking, if the driver
does not brake hard enough in the
event of a potential impact with the
vehicle in front;
System deactivated: the system
does not give visual and acoustic
warnings, limited braking, automatic
braking or additional assistance during
braking. The system will therefore
provide no warning of a possible
accident.
