immediately go to a Fiat Dealership

to have the car checked and possible

system faults excluded.

SELECTION OF THE FUEL

SUPPLY TYPE

WARNING

The car is configured for running

independently on either petrol or LPG.

The engine always starts up on petrol,

with automatic switching to LPG when

the best conditions are achieved

(engine water temperature, minimum

engine rpm limit) for switching to LPG.

Therefore, there must always be some

petrol in the tank (at least 1/4 full), in

after purchasing the car, first contact a Fiat

Dealership whose qualified personnel will

give you advise about a sound system that

does not damage the conventional battery

charge. Excessive absorption will drain

and damage the conventional battery and

may invalidate the conventional battery

warranty.

type of gas it is designed for (LPG);

name of tank manufacturer;

tank commissioning pressure (30

bar);

maximum refilling percentage (80%);

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 button (A) fig. 59

allows drivers to select petrol or LPG

operation as required.

The car has a (pressurised) tank (A)

fig. 61 for collecting LPG in a liquid

state. It is toroidal and is located in the

spare wheel compartment with suitable

protection.

This engine normally runs on LPG

except during starting, when it runs on

petrol.

Switching to LPG is automatic, the

green warning light fig. 62, on the

instrument panel, switches off.

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 laws of that country. In all

case, when the time limit for your

country has expired, go to a Fiat

Dealership to have the tank replaced.

The tank identification data are printed

on the tank, under the multivalve unit:

type-approval country identification

If you want to run on petrol, press

button (A) fig. 63; this operation is

allowed both with car at a standstill

F1D0800

and engine running and also while

driving. The switching on of the LED

located above the button and of the

green warning light fig. 62 on the

instrument panel indicates that the

switching request has taken place

correctly.

WARNING Regardless of the last fuel

system used, at the following engine

starting, after the initial petrol stage,

the system will automatically switch to

LPG.

F1D0762

F1D0763

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.

41)

If the LPG runs out, switching to petrol

takes place automatically. In this case

the display shows the icon just

above wording LPG and the four bars

of the digital gauge turn off, see fig. 66.

LPG FUEL RESERVE

When the residual quantity of LPG

drops below 1/5 of the tank capacity:

the first bar of the digital indicator

stays on;

the yellow warning light fig. 65

comes on;

F1D1042

F1D0806

The four bars on the display next to the

digital indicator (B) fig. 64 indicate the

level of LPG in the tank.

at the same time, there is also an

acoustic signal.

petrol operation.

time, e.g. after starting (and for a few

miles), the condition shown in fig. 67

may appear in the display: the icon

switches off and the four bars of the

digital gauge stay off. This condition

should not be interpreted a system fault

but as a condition due to a temporary

LPG supply (drawn by the pump after

the stabilisation of the residual level in

the tank).

In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership

as soon as possible, running on petrol.

IMPORTANT

REFILLING

14) The system operates at temperatures

ranging between -20°C and 100°C.

15) If the fuel runs out while running

on LPG, the car switches to petrol

automatically and all the bars of the digital

indicator on the display turn off. The

display remains in this state until the next

LPG refuelling.

16) 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 car, follow the

instructions in the "Towing the car"

chapter of the Owner Handbook.

17) 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 car is not in use for

a long period or moved in an emergency

as a result of a breakdown or accident:

unscrew the fastening devices (A) fig. 57,

then remove the cover (B). Close the LPG

cock by rotating the ring nut (C) fig. 58

clockwise. Refit the cover and retighten the

fastening devices.

Maximum refuelling capacity (including

reserve): 30.5 litres. The figure already

takes into account the 80% tank filling

limit and the residual fluid required for

priming and 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.

LPG SYSTEM FAILURE

SIGNALLING

In the event of LPG system failure:

all the bars of the digital indicator

switch off and the symbol fig. 68 is

displayed.

WARNING

39) 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.

40) Modifications or repairs to the fuel

supply system that are not carried out

properly or do not take the system’s

technical specifications into account can

cause malfunctions leading to the risk of

fire.

18) If, during LPG operation, the fuel

runs out, the car switches to petrol

automatically and all the bars of the digital

LPG in the tank run out and, at the next

refuelling, check that it does not exceed

the maximum capacity of 30.5 litres

litres in excess) (see instructions in the

"Capacities" chapter). If the level is above

30.5 litres (reserve included) contact a Fiat

Dealership immediately.

20) Regardless of the last fuel system

used, at the following engine starting,

after the initial petrol stage, the system will

automatically switch to LPG.

is requested, a metal noise from the

valves which pressurise the circuit can be

heard. As a result of the switching logics

described above, the delay between the
