In addition, when starting at outside
temperatures below approximately
–10°C, the switching times from petrol
to LPG increase to allow the pressure
regulator/reduction unit to heat up.
To change fuel type, press the
fig. 51 button on the dashboard with
the car stationary and engine running,
or while driving.
14) 15)
LPG FUEL RESERVE
When the residual quantity of LPG
drops below 1/5 of the tank capacity:
the first bar on the display 1
fig. 52 remains on;
the yellow warning lighton the
instrument panel turns on;
an acoustic signal is emitted.This condition will last until the next
LPG refuelling, also in the event of
petrol operation.
If the LPG runs out, the system
automatically switches to petrol and the
1 fig. 49 warning light on the
dashboard turns on.
SYSTEM FAILURE SIGNALLING
In the event of an LPG system failure,
the
symbol will be displayed and all
the level bars will turn off.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible, running on petrol.
REFUELLING
16) 17)
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (including
reserve): 42 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required for
priming; this figure represents the
maximum permitted capacity. In
addition, after different refuelling
processes, this figure may vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank
not completely run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT In order to avoid
inconsistent information by the LPG
gauge on the instrument panel, it is
recommended to refill with at least
10 litres each time.
WARNING
31)Note that in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in force for
parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes
under this category.
32)If gas is smelt, switch from LPG
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the vehicle checked and possible system
faults excluded.
IMPORTANT
10)The car is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden to
alter the configuration of the system or its
components. The use of other components
or materials could cause malfunctions and
lead to a reduction in safety; therefore, in
the case of problems, contact a Fiat
Dealership. To prevent damage to the gas
system parts when towing or raising the
vehicle, follow the instructions in the
"Towing the vehicle" paragraph of the
Owner Handbook.
11)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20°C and 100°C.

AdBlue®
(UREA) storage
AdBlue®
(UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
32°C, it has a shelf life of at least one
year.
Follow the instructions on the label of
the container.
Fuel storage - Diesel Fuel
127)
In case of the storage of massive
amounts of fuel, good maintenance is
essential. The fuel contaminated with
water favours the proliferation of
"microbes". These microbes create a
"slime" that can clog the filter system
and fuel pipes. Remove water from the
supply tank and regularly replace the
filter pipe.
NOTE When a Diesel engine runs out
of fuel, air is blown through the fuel
system.
Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply
circuit is completely empty, proceed as
follows to reintroduce fuel to the tank:
open the boot and take adaptor 3
fig. 108, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap 1 fig. 106, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the boot.
Versions with LPG system
(where provided)
The gas filler is located next to the
petrol filler cap. It has a "non return",
located in the filler body itself.
To access the filler 2 fig. 109 open the
access flap 1.
Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
ignition key turned to the OFF
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
the refuelling pump. Adapter 1 fig. 110,
supplied with the car and located in a
special case, is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If
you are in a different country, find out
what type of adapter is used there.10807206J0002EM

IMPORTANT Before refuelling with LPG,
the qualified personnel must make sure
that the adapter is correctly screwed
onto the filler.
IMPORTANT Look after the LPG
adapter carefully so that it does not get
damaged.
IMPORTANT Only use LPG for motor
vehicles.Fuel - Vehicle

The symbols shown below facilitated
recognising the correct fuel type to be
used on your car.
Before proceeding with refuelling, check
the symbols inside the fuel filler flap
(where provided) and compare them
with the symbols shown on the fuel
pump (where provided).

2.7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum

WARNING
124)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
125)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
126)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
127)Do not open the fuel system at high
pressure with the engine running. The
operation of the engine creates a high fuel
pressure. A jet of high-pressure fuel can
cause serious injury or death.
128)If the
AdBlue®
overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank to over 50
°C (for example, due to direct solar
irradiation), the
AdBlue®
may decompose
and produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour when the
cap of the
AdBlue®
tank is unscrewed,
therefore be careful not to inhale any
ammonia vapours in the tank outlet. In this
concentration, however, the ammonia
vapors are not harmful or dangerous to
health.
IMPORTANT
49)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with EN
590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.
AdBlue®(UREA)
ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
The car is equipped with an UREA
injection system and Selective Catalytic
Reduction to meet emission standards.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same, they ensure fuel-efficiency,
handling, torque and power. For
messages and system warnings, refer
to the "Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter.
AdBlue®
(UREA) is a very stable
product with a long shelf life. Stored at
temperatures LOWER than 32 °C, it
has a shelf life of at least one year.
For more information on the
AdBlue®
liquid type, see the “Fluids and
lubricants” paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
The car is provided with an automatic
AdBlue®
heating system when the
engine starts allowing the system to
work correctly at temperatures lower
than -11 °C.
IMPORTANT
AdBlue®
freezes at
temperatures lower than -11 °C.
