Deactivating the device  
The system is disabled automatically on  
every door in the following cases:  
by unlocking the doors;  
by turning the ignition key to the  
MAR position.  
DEAD LOCK DEVICE  
(for versions/markets, where provided)  
This security device prevents the  
opening of the doors from inside the  
passenger compartment if there has  
been a break-in attempt (e.g. a window  
has been broken).  
The dead lock device therefore offers  
the best possible protection against  
break in attempts. We recommend  
engaging it whenever the vehicle is  
parked and left unattended.  
WARNING  
1) Button (B) should only be pressed when  
the key is away from the body, in particular  
from the eyes and from objects that can  
be spoilt (e.g. clothes). Do not leave the  
key unattended to avoid the button being  
accidentally pressed while it is being  
handled, e.g. by a child.

To replace the battery, proceed as  
follows fig. 9:  
press button (A) and open the metal  
insert (B);  
2) Do not swallow the battery. Danger of  
chemical burns. The keys contain a small  
battery. If the battery is swallowed, it can  
cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours  
and cause death. Keep new and used  
batteries out of the reach of children. If  
the battery compartment does not close  
securely, discontinue use of the product  
and keep it out of reach of children. If you  
believe that batteries may have been  
swallowed or inserted inside the body,  
seek medical attention immediately. The  
emergency key (where provided) must be  
immediately inserted into the electronic key  
to prevent easy access to the battery.  
3) Once the safe lock system is engaged  
it is impossible to open the doors from  
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the  
system please therefore check that there is  
no one left on board.

a person getting into the car through  
the open door and, on shutting, it,  
remaining stuck inside the passenger  
compartment.

THE FIAT CODE  
SYSTEM  
IMPORTANT  
This is an electrical engine locking  
system which increases protection  
against attempted theft of the vehicle.  
It is automatically activated when the  
ignition key is removed.  
Each time the vehicle is started turning  
the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE  
system control unit sends a recognition  
code to the engine control module to  
deactivate the immobiliser.  
If, during ignition, the code is not  
correctly recognized, a warning light  
is lit on the instrument panel.  
In this case, turn the key to STOP  
and then back to MAR; if the lock  
continues, try with the other keys  
provided with the vehicle. Contact a  
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start  
the engine.  
1) Used batteries are harmful to the  
environment. You can dispose of them  
either in the correct containers as  
specified by law or by taking them to a  
Fiat Dealership, which will deal with their  
disposal.

ALARM SYSTEM  
(for versions/markets, where provided)  
The alarm, in addition to all the  
previously described remote control  
functions, is controlled by the receiver  
located under the dashboard near the  
fuse box.  
If the  
warning light (or symbol in

14) After releasing the adjustment lever,  
always check that the seat is locked on  
the guides by trying to move it back and  
forth. If it is not locked, the seat may move  
unexpectedly and make you lose control of  
the vehicle.  
15) Do not place objects on the seat or  
on the backrest that may isolate the heat,  
such as a cover or a pillow. It may cause  
the seat heating device to overheat. Sitting  
on an overheated seat may cause severe  
burns due to the increase in temperature  
of the seat surface.  
16) When the passenger seat is folded  
away, the space created cannot be used  
for loading. When the vehicle is in motion,  
you are therefore advised to remove or  
secure any objects that might interfere with  
the driver. If there is no partition between  
the cab and the load compartment, tall  
objects or packages may take up part  
of the passenger area. Make sure that  
these items are well secured by using  
the available hooks and that they cannot  
interfere with the driver.

The Methane Multipoint  
Injection System  
VERSION WITH  
METHANE SYSTEM  
(Natural Power)  
It is an original product of Fiat research  
in the field of alternative fuels, that  
comes from close co-operation with  
major suppliers in the methane sector.  
By adapting the sophisticated  
electronic control technology of petrol  
engines to meet the specifications  
of methane, it has been possible to  
achieve important results in terms of  
driveability, exhaust emissions and  
consumption.  
With the methane Multipoint injection  
system, the engine features the same  
driveability as a petrol fuelled system.  
It should be borne in mind that,  
under all driving conditions, methane  
operation offers engine power

INTRODUCTION  
WARNING  
The "Natural Power" version features  
two fuel systems, one for petrol and  
one for natural gas (methane).  
The two systems are independent of  
each other and the CNG system is of  
the Phased Sequential Multipoint type.  
The starting system is the petrol  
system in common to all versions.  
40) Fully comply with the regulations in  
force concerning maximum clearance.  
41) After travelling for a few kilometres,  
check to ensure that the fixing screws for  
the attachments are well tightened.  
IMPORTANT  
What is natural gas?  
Natural gas is a mixture of gas used as  
a primary energy source.  
Its main component is methane and  
for this reason it is usually known as  
"methane" in Italy but it contains small  
amounts of other hydrocarbons and  
inert gases.  
It is extracted in a gaseous state  
and transported to where it is used  
through gas pipelines; world reserves  
are plentiful and widely distributed.  
Methane is a fuel with a low impact on  
the environment, since it significantly  
reduces the contribution of exhaust  
gases to the greenhouse effect and  
pollution.  
5) Distribute the load evenly and pay  
attention to side winds when driving.  
6) Never exceed the maximum permitted  
loads; see chapter "Technical Data".  
and torque specifications 10%  
lower than with petrol operation.  
Petrol operation is therefore  
recommended if a lot of power is  
required (e.g. driving uphill with a  
laden car, steep hill starts).  
Selecting the type of  
fuel supply  
The vehicle is configured to run  
normally on methane.  
When the methane is running out and  
the pressure in the cylinder is close  
to the correct operating limit, the  
55  
system automatically switches to petrol  
operation.  
In particular, the cylinder location and  
attachments are designed to pass the  
impact tests in accordance with Fiat  
safety standards. The flow of methane  
from the cylinders is governed by a  
solenoid valve that is open only during  
methane operation.  
The solenoid valve unit includes  
protections against excess flows (if  
the high pressure system breaks, the  
flow of methane is restricted to values  
that are not dangerous), overheating  
(melting pad that allows the methane to  
drain off if the temperature exceeds  
110°C) and a pressure calibrated  
device that intervenes if the pressure  
goes above 300 bar ensuring the  
methane escapes in a controlled  
manner and as quickly as possible.  
The solenoid valve is connected to  
the Fire Protection System (fuel cut-off  
system).  
WARNING  
The engine always starts up on petrol,  
with automatic switching to methane  
when the best conditions are achieved  
(engine water temperature, minimum  
engine rpm limit) for switching to  
methane.  
Therefore, there must always be some  
petrol in the tank (at least 1/4 full), in  
order not to compromise the operation  
of the fuel pump.  
42) The vehicle is equipped with a high-  
pressure methane system designed to  
operate at 200 rated bar. It is dangerous  
to stretch the system with higher  
pressures. To prevent damage to the  
methane system parts when towing or  
lifting the vehicle, follow the instructions  
shown in the "Towing the vehicle" section.  
If there is a problem with the methane  
system, only contact a Fiat Dealership. Do  
not modify configuration or components  
of the methane system; they have been  
designed exclusively for this vehicle. The  
use of other components or materials  
could cause malfunctions and prejudice  
safety.  
43) When oven painting, the cylinders  
must be removed from the vehicle and  
refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although the  
methane system has numerous safety  
features, it is advisable to close the  
manual tap on the cylinders whenever the  
vehicle is not in use for a long period,  
transported on other vehicles or moved in  
an emergency as a result of a breakdown  
or accident.  
For this reason there must always  
be petrol in the tank.  
The petrol/methane switch fig. 109,  
amongst the controls in the dashboard,  
makes it possible to select petrol  
operation. The system does not switch  
automatically to methane operation if  
the petrol runs out.  
Active safety  
The vehicle has the same active safety  
specifications as other versions.  
44) If gas is smelt, switch from methane  
operation to petrol operation and  
immediately go to a Fiat Dealerships to  
have the vehicle checked and possible  
system faults supply excluded.  
WARNING If gas is smelled, switch  
from methane operation to petrol  
operation and immediately go to a Fiat  
Dealership to have the vehicle checked  
and possible system faults excluded.

methane cylinders comply with the  
legislation in that country. In any  
case, it should be remembered that  
the life of the cylinders is 20 years  
from the production date as set out  
in ECE Regulation no. 110.  
CYLINDERS  
The vehicle has two cylinders (total  
capacity about 77 litres) located under  
the floor and protected by two special  
guards.  
The cylinders fig. 111 and fig. 112  
are the tank that contains methane in  
compressed gaseous state (200 rated  
bar at 15°C).  
The methane, stored in the canisters  
at high pressure, flows through a  
dedicated pipe to reach the pressure  
regulator/reduction unit which supplies  
the 4 methane injectors at low pressure  
(about 6 bar).  
SOLENOID VALVES /  
SAFETY DEVICES  
The solenoid valves fig. 113 and  
fig. 113 are screwed directly onto the  
methane cylinders: their main function  
is to interrupt the flow of methane to  
the supply circuit.

The cylinders must be inspected, in  
accordance with ECE Regulation  
Procedure no. 110, every 4 years  
from the vehicle registration date  
or in accordance with specific  
regulations in individual countries.

The solenoid valve assembly is  
equipped with the following safety  
devices:  
To close the taps (D) fig. 115: turn the  
knob in the direction (1) shown by the  
arrow (clockwise OFF).  
To open the taps (D) fig. 115: turn the  
knob in the direction (2) shown by the  
arrow (anticlockwise ON).  
1) Fuse pad: in the event of  
overheating (temperature above 110  
°C), it totally eliminates the danger of  
excess pressure making the methane  
in the cylinder flow out as quickly as  
possible in a controlled manner.  
2) Mechanical excess pressure  
device (Burst Disk): in the event of  
excess pressure (above 330 bar), it  
ensures that the methane escapes  
as quickly as possible in a controlled  
manner.  
PRESSURE  
REGULATOR/REDUCTION  
UNIT  
The pressure reduction unit fig. 116 is  
installed in the engine compartment.  
It reduces the pressure of the methane  
from the value in the cylinder to the  
supply value for the methane injectors  
(about 6 bar) and keeps it constant in  
all operating conditions.

3) Excess flow device: intervenes  
if the pipes break and limits the flow  
of methane exiting to non dangerous  
levels.

The flow restrictor valve is located to  
allow it to operate even if the solenoid  
valve casing is broken due to an  
impact.

will appear on the display in addition to  
an acoustic warning.  
METHANE INJECTORS  
There are four dedicated Methane gas  
injectors (A) fig. 117, fitted on the intake  
manifold near the cylinder head, one for  
each intake duct; they are supplied at  
a constant pressure (about 6 bar) and  
operated by the electronic control unit.

If the methane has run out, switching  
to petrol takes place automatically.  
In this case, the display shows the  
icon just above the CNG wording and  
all the bars of the edges for the empty  
notches light up constantly, regardless  
of the type of supply; see fig. 119 or  
fig. 120.  
PETROL/METHANE  
SWITCH

F0T0383  
This engine normally runs on methane  
except during starting when it runs on  
petrol. Switching to methane takes  
place automatically and is shown  
on the instrument panel display by  
switching off the signal in the  
display.  
If you want the car to run on petrol,  
press the button fig. 121 located  
between the controls in the dashboard.  
The LED on the button switching on  
indicates that the request for switching  
has taken place correctly.

METHANE FUEL RESERVE  
The level of methane in the cylinders is  
indicated by the four vertical bars near  
the word CNG on the instrument panel  
display fig. 118. When the residual  
amount of methane is lower than 1/5

PROTECTING THE  
ENVIRONMENT  
CNG SYSTEM FAILURE  
In case of CNG system failure, all the  
CNG fuel levels will turn off on the  
display and the symbol "!" will appear  
together with a dedicated message. In  
this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as  
quickly as possible.  
The following devices are used for  
reducing petrol fuel engine emissions:  
three-way catalytic converter  
Lambda sensors  
evaporation control system.  
In addition, do not let the engine run,  
even for a test, with one or more spark  
plugs disconnected.  
The following devices are used for  
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:  
oxidising catalytic converter;  
exhaust gas recirculation system  
(EGR);

IMPORTANT  
The actual change to the chosen fuel  
system takes place depending on the  
vehicle usage conditions to guarantee  
switching in absolute safety and will  
be confirmed by the warning light  
in the instrument panel display coming  
on/going off.  
Manual switching of the operating  
mode from petrol to methane and  
vice versa only occurs if the engine  
speed is below 2000 rpm.  
7) Regardless of the last fuel system used,  
at the following engine starting, after  
the initial petrol stage, the system will  
automatically switch to methane.  
8) 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 the  
indication on the instrument panel display.  
9) Do not switch between the two  
operating modes whilst starting the  
engine.  
particulate filter (DPF) (for  
versions/markets, where provided).  
DIESEL PARTICULATE  
FILTER (DPF)  
(for versions/markets, where provided)  
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a  
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust  
system, that physically traps carbon  
particles present in the exhaust gases  
of diesel engines.  
8)  
In addition, in the case of starting at  
outside temperatures of below around  
-10°C, the switching times from Petrol  
to Methane increase to allow the  
pressure regulator/reduction unit to  
become warm enough.  
The diesel particulate filter has been  
adopted to eliminate almost all  
particulates in compliance with current  
/ future legal regulations.  
During normal use of the vehicle, the  
Powertrain Control Module records a  
set of data (travel time, type of route,  
temperatures reached etc.) and  
WARNING If switching takes place  
during acceleration or pick-up, there  
may be a brief flat spot (drop in power).

calculates how much particulate has  
been trapped by the filter.  
Since this filter physically traps  
particulate, it should be regenerated  
(cleaned) at regular intervals by burning  
carbon particles. The regeneration  
procedure is controlled automatically  
by the Powertrain Control Module  
according to the filter conditions and  
vehicle usage conditions.  
During regeneration, the following  
may occur: a limited increase in the  
engine speed, activation of the fan, a  
limited increase in fumes and high  
temperatures at the exhaust.  
These are not faults; they do not impair  
vehicle performance or damage the  
environment. If the dedicated message  
is displayed, refer to paragraph  
"Warning lights and messages".
