tow bar FIAT TIPO 4DOORS 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

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

Lane change by other vehicles
Vehicles suddenly changing lane,
entering the same lane as your car and
within the radar sensor’s operating
range, may cause the system to
intervene fig. 67.
Vehicles travelling at right angles to
the vehicle
The system could temporarily react to a
vehicle that is passing through the radar
sensor’s operating range at right angles
fig. 68.Important notes
The system has not been designed
to prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an
accident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to
serious or fatal injuries.
The system may be activated,
assessing the trajectory of the car, in
case of reflecting metal objects different
from other cars, such as safety barriers,
road signs, barriers before parking lots,
toll-gates, level crossings, gates,
railways, objects near road
constructions sites or higher than the
car (e.g. a flyover). In the same way, the
system may intervene inside
multi-storey car parks or tunnels, or due
to a glare on the road surface. These
possible activations follow the normal
operating logic of the system and must
not be regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for
road use only. If the car is driven
off-road, the system must be
deactivated, to avoid unnecessary
warnings.
The system should be deactivated
when the vehicle is loaded on a train,
ferry or lorry, when it is towed or put on
a roller test bench.
iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring
System)
64) 65) 66) 67) 68) 69)
Description
The vehicle is equipped with the iTPMS
(indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System) which monitors the tyre
inflation status thanks to wheel speed
sensors.
Correct tyre pressure
If no flat tyres are detected, the outline
of the car will be shown on the display.
Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on the
warning light on the instrument
panel and a warning message on the
display, along with an acoustic signal.
In this case, the outline of the car is
shown on the display with the two
symbols
.

SAFETY

TOWING THE
VEHICLE
ATTACHING THE TOW
RING
150) 151) 152)
The tow hook provided is located in the
tool box inside the luggage
compartment.
Front
Proceed as follows:
release and remove the protective
plug;
take tow hook 1 fig. 160 and screw it
fully onto the front threaded pin.
Rear
Proceed as follows:
release and remove the protective
plug;
take tow hook 1 fig. 161 and screw it
fully onto the rear threaded pin.
WARNING
150)Before towing, turn the key to MAR
and then to STOP without extracting it. The
steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
gearbox is in neutral (on versions equipped
with automatic transmission (if present),
check that the gear lever is in N position).151)The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. During towing, make
sure that the trailer hitch does not damage
any components it is touching. When
towing the car, you must comply with all
specific traffic regulations and adopt an
appropriate driving behaviour. Do not start
the engine while towing the car. Before
tightening the ring, clean the threaded
housing thoroughly. Make sure that the ring
is fully screwed into the housing before
towing the car.
152)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transport via a
breakdown vehicle. Tow hooks MUST NOT
be used to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or for
towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.
