Get Starting and Driving -> Refuelling the Vehicle Guide for Fiat Fiorino SUV Third Generation (2015-2026)

Cold starting

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low,

diesel thickens due to the formation of

paraffin clots with consequent defective

operation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems,

different types of diesel are distributed

according to the season: summer

type, winter type and arctic type

(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling

with diesel whose specifications are

not suitable for the usage temperature,

it is advisable to mix PETRONAS

DURANCE DIESEL ART additive in the

proportions shown on the container

with the fuel. Pour the additive into the

tank before the fuel.

REFUELLING THE

VEHICLE

Short journeys and frequent cold

starts do not allow the engine to reach

optimum operating temperature.

Consequently, both consumption (from

+15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and

emissions will increase.

118)

24) 25)

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only, with an

octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than

95.

Traffic and road conditions

Rather high consumption levels are

linked to situations with heavy traffic,

for instance when travelling in queues

with frequent use of the lower gears or

in cities with many traffic lights.

Winding mountain roads and rough

road surfaces also adversely affect

consumption.

WARNING For correct operation of

the engine, only use "Metallic Additive

Free" petrol. The use of petrol with

metallic additives, which are identified

as "Containing metallic additive" may

damage the catalyst beyond repair.

Stops in traffic

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 fuel.

In this case, it is also advisable to keep

the tank over 50% full.

WARNING An inefficient catalytic

converter leads to harmful exhaust

emissions, thus contributing to air

pollution.

During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level

crossings) the engine should be

switched off.

WARNING Never introduce leaded

petrol to the tank, even in small

amounts in an emergency, as this

would damage the catalytic converter

beyond repair.

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.

DIESEL ENGINES

Only use Diesel fuel for motor vehicles

(EN590 specification).

METHANE GAS FILLER

The methane filler is located near the

petrol filler fig. 171.

In some European countries adapters

are considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in

Germany).

For service stations with cubic metre

(m ) nozzles (pressure differential) the

check valves must be released by

delivering a small amount of methane

to measure the residual pressure in the

cylinder.

The plates (provided with the vehicle

documentation) contain the date for the

first inspection of the cylinders.

Opening

1) Open the flap (A) fig. 170 by pulling it

outwards, keep the cap (B) fig. 170 still,

insert the ignition key in the lock and

turn it anticlockwise.

2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and

remove it.

The cap has a device (C) fig. 170 which

attaches it to the flap so that it cannot

be lost. When refilling, attach the plug

to the flap, as shown.

consumer information

in accordance with

EN16942

The symbols shown below aid

recognising the correct fuel type to

be used on your vehicle. 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).

It has a check valve, located in the filler

body.

To access the filler, undo the cap (A)

fig. 172 turning it anticlockwise.

The profile of filler (B) fig. 172 for refilling

is the universal type compatible with

Italian and NGV1 standards.

Closing

1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and

turn it clockwise until it clicks once or

more.

2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,

then close the flap.

The sealing may cause a slight

pressure increase in the tank. A little

breathing off, while slackening the cap

is absolutely normal.

WARNING

The vehicle is equipped with an UREA

fuel injection system and a Selective

Catalytic Reduction catalyst to meet

the emission standards.

These two systems ensure compliance

with the diesel emissions requirements;

at the same time, they ensure fuel-

efficiency, handling, torque and power.

For messages and system warnings,

refer to the "Warning lights and

118) Do not approach naked flames or

lit cigarettes to the fuel tank filler: fire risk.

Keep your face away from the fuel filler to

prevent breathing in harmful vapours.

IMPORTANT

24) For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel

for motor vehicles in accordance with

EN590 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.

25) You must not open the right sliding

side door with the fuel cap open while

refuelling. Check that the fuel cap is closed

while opening/closing the sliding side door.

26) Methane refuelling stations are not

authorised to refill the cylinders when the

inspection date has expired. The check

valve prevents the methane from flowing

back to the fuel filler.

B7: Diesel containing up to 7% (V/V)

of FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters)
