FIAT CODE
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started by
turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat
Code system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
The code is sent only if the Fiat Code
system control unit has acknowledged
the code received from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat Code system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
symbol is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not

chest and the face during the hot
season.
Air flow to the front and rear
footwell vents. This air distribution
setting heats the passenger
compartment most quickly, giving a
prompt sensation of warmth.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents (hotter air) and
central and side dashboard
vents (cooler air). This air
distribution setting is useful in
spring and autumn on sunny
days.
+Air flow distributed between
footwell vents and windscreen

LPG MULTIPOINT
INJECTION SYSTEM
This product is produced by working
closely with qualified suppliers in the
LPG sector.
The injection system used on the car is
an efficient system in terms of engine
performance and is based on the
injection of LPG in a gaseous state.
In this system with four injectors, one
for each intake manifold, the fuel is
injected directly into the engine heat
transfer ducts, thereby metering the
LPG very precisely improving
combustion and, at the same time,
excluding any possibility of flame return.
By adapting the electronic control
technology of petrol engines to meet
LPG specifications, significant results in
terms of driveability and controlling
exhaust emissions have been obtained.
When running on LPG the engine has
almost the same torque and power
features as when running on petrol:
consequently, the car performance can
be compared.
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 whenthe 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. 69 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.
Active safety
The car has the same active safety
specifications as other versions.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

LPG TANK
The car has a pressurised tank for
storing LPG in a liquid state. It is
toroidal and is located in the spare
wheel compartment with suitable
protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date. If
the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration
and the testing/inspection procedures
of the LPG tank can vary depending on
the national provisions in force in that
country. In all case, when the time limit
for your country has expired, go to a
Fiat Dealer to have the tank replaced.
SOLENOID VALVES AND
SAFETY DEVICES
The system has a solenoid valve
located on the pressure reduction unit
and a solenoid valve fitted inside the
multivalve stack on the tank.
The main function of these solenoid
valves is to interrupt/allow the flow of
LPG to the supply circuit.
The solenoid valves are open when:
a request to run on LPG has been
made;
the optimum engine running
conditions are satisfied (engine coolant
temperature, minimum revs level) for
running on LPG;
there is enough LPG in the tank for
operation.
The multivalve stack fitted on the tank
includes:
a valve that automatically stops the
supply of LPG when the maximum
permitted filling level is reached (80% of
the total tank capacity);
a flow limiter which, if a piping is
broken, prevents the complete and
sudden escape of LPG;
a check valve preventing LPG
back-flow to the filler;
a safety solenoid valve on the LPG
supply line for enabling or preventing
the flow of gas towards the pressure
reducer;
a manual valve, positioned upstream
of the solenoid valve for bypassing the
LPG system for servicing operations;
a melting pad which, in the case of
overheating (temperature above
120°C), totally eliminates the danger of
excess pressure, releasing the LPG in
the tank to the outside as quickly as
possible in a controlled manner;
an analogue level gauge for LPG in
the tank.
PIPES
The piping for the LPG in a liquid state
(from the filler to the tank and from the
tank to the pressure regulator) is made
from copper coated in plastic.
The supply piping for the LPG in a
gaseous state (from the pressure
regulator to the LPG injectors) are made
from rubber.
REGULATION UNIT
The regulation unit (see the figure)
includes:
cut-out solenoid valve with gauze
filter;
pressure regulator.
The cut-out solenoid valveopens or
closes together with the solenoid valve
on the tank. It closes all LPG flow when
the engine is not running on gas. It also
acts as a safety device that prevents

Warning light What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light on the display lights up when the engine has overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light on the
display switches on again, contact a Fiat Dealership;
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down
and, if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the
coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated
for a few minutes before turning it off.
AIRBAG FAILURE
If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.
34) 35)
WARNING
34)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.
35)The failure of the
warning light is signalled by the lighting up of thesymbol 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
61

Warning light What it means
PARTIAL DEACTIVATION OF ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS
The warning light switches on to indicate that some active safety systems have been partially deactivated.
When the systems are reactivated, the warning light switches off.
REAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is activated.
INJECTION / 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.
IMPORTANT
20)If, turning the ignition device to MAR, thewarning light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some
versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
