refuelling FIAT TIPO 4DOORS 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLINGPetrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228.
Diesel engines: refuel only with Diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual gearbox (petrol engines):make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release the key as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual gearbox (Diesel engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off. Turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with automatic transmission(where present): make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking) or
N (Neutral), depress the brake pedal, without pressing the accelerator pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV or press the ignition device
button; release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.

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.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

12)When painting in an oven, the LPG tank
must be removed from the car and later
refitted by a Fiat Dealership. 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 devices fastening the cover of the LPG
tank, then remove it. Close the LPG cock
rotating the ring nut clockwise (see
"Passive safety / active safety"). Refit the
cover and retighten the fastening devices.
13)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise the
circuit can be heard. For the switching logic
described above, a delay between the
valve ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.
14)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.15)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without a
visual indication of switching on the
instrument panel. In the event of low LPG
levels in the tank or request for high
performance (e.g. overtaking, car fully
laden, steep hills) the system may
automatically switch to petrol operation to
guarantee the engine power requested; the
green warning light
on the instrument
panel switches on to indicate this. When
the above conditions are no longer present,
the system automatically restores LPG
operation; the green warning light
switches off. To achieve the automatic
switching described above, make sure that
there is always enough fuel in the petrol
tank.
16)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG. Periodically (at least
once every six months) it is advisable to let
the LPG in the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 42 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 1 litres
excess). If the level is above 42 litres
(reserve included) contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.
17)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.

Warning light What it means
amberDPF CLEANING in progress (Diesel versions with DPF only)
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.
The warning light remains off during the entire DPF regeneration and lights up only when driving conditions
require the driver to be notified.
To turn off the warning light, keep the car in motion until the regeneration process is over. On average, the
process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at
60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not indicate an anomaly and thus it should not be taken to a
workshop.
IMPORTANT Failure to observe the appropriate procedure for a long distance when the
warning light
comes on, can cause the
warning light to come on, resulting in the need to go to the Dealership to
restore correct DPF operation.
25)
IMPORTANT
21)If the warning light (or the icon on the display) flashes whilst driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.
22)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If the
symbol is displayed contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately after
refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: switch the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
23)If the
warning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km from
the first switching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty.
Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top up
the engine oil.
24)If the symbol flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.
25)Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The
engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine,
following the instructions above. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the core of the vehicle:
seeing how you can exploit all of its
potential to the full.
We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome

Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine.
The latter action, as well as
double-declutching, is unnecessary and
causes increased fuel consumption and
pollution.
Gear selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road
conditions allow it. Using a low gear for
faster acceleration will increase fuel
consumption. In the same way,
improper use of a high gear increases
consumption, emissions and engine
wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably
increases as speed increases. Maintain
a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration,
which cost in terms of both fuel
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
torque.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach
optimum operating temperature. This
results in a significant increase in
consumption levels (from +15 to +30%
on the urban cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when
travelling in a queue with frequent use
of low gears or in cities with many traffic
lights. Winding mountain roads and
rough road surfaces also adversely
affect consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) switch off the engine.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
124) 125) 126)
Before refuelling, make sure that the
fuel type is correct.
Also stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use 95 R.O.N. unleaded petrol (EN
228 specifications).
DIESEL ENGINES
49)
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available Diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun.
Further top-ups could cause faults in
the fuel feeding system.
119

REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
Diesel and petrol versions
"Capless Fuel" is a device at the
opening for the fuel tank which opens
and re-closes automatically when the
fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.
The "Capless Fuel" device is provided
with an inhibitor which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
unlock flap 1 fig. 106 by pressing on
the specified point and then open it;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds
in order for the fuel to flow inside the
tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap 1.The flap is provided with a dust cover
gaiter 2 which prevents deposits of
impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.TOPPING UP

Preliminary conditions
AdBlue®
freezes at temperatures
lower than -11°C. If the car stands for a
long time at this temperature refilling
could be difficult. For this reason, it is
advised to park the vehicle in a garage
and/or heated environment and wait for
the urea to return to liquid state before
topping up.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on flat ground and stop
the engine by setting the start device in
the OFF position;
open the fuel flap 1 fig. 107, undo
and remove the cap 2 (blue) from the
AdBlue®
filler and place it in the
specific housing 3.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Refilling with nozzles
You can fill up at any
AdBlue®
distributor.
Proceed as follows:
insert theAdBlue®
nozzle in the
filler, start refilling and stop refilling at
the first shut-off (the shut-off indicates
that the
AdBlue®
tank is full). Do not
proceed with the refilling, to prevent
spillage of
AdBlue®
;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the
AdBlue®
tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after
the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter), fill the
AdBlue®
tank with no
more than 6 litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when theAdBlue™level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 2 fig. 107back on the
AdBlue®
filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started
and the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if theAdBlue®
was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the “Refuelling
” paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANTDO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to
the reservoir. UREA freezes at
under -11 °C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the UREA, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyondthe maximum level because if the
UREA freezes the system can be
damaged. Follow the instructions in
the “Topping up
AdBlue®
diesel
emissions additive (UREA)” paragraph
in this chapter.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the
fluid that has been spilled on the
ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added to
the Diesel fuel tank, this can result
in serious engine damage, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Do not add additives or other
fluids to
AdBlue®
, doing so could
damage the system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded
AdBlue®
may lead to
indications appearing on the instrument
panel display (see “Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” chapter).
Never pourAdBlue®
into another
container: it could be contaminated.
If theAdBlue®
runs out, see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter to continue
using the car normally.
121

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
