MY CAR USER MANUAL

Practical information for Your Fiat Scudo Van Third Generation (2022-2025)

Practical information  
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid  
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle  
under shelter (heated garage).  
Stop & Start  
Never refuel with the engine in STOP  
mode; you must switch off the ignition.  
Compatibility of fuels  
Travelling abroad  
Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734  
and EN16709 standards and containing up to  
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester  
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even  
occasionally, imposes special maintenance  
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".  
Refuelling  
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s  
engine.  
At least 8 litres of fuel must be added, in order to  
be registered by the fuel gauge.  
In certain countries, the use of a particular  
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,  
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct  
operation of the engine.  
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused  
by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and  
results from the sealing of the fuel system.  
To refuel in complete safety:  
For all additional information, consult a dealer.  
► Always switch off the engine.  
► Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry  
and Start.  
Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940  
standard.  
Refuelling  
The use of any other type of (bio) fuel  
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal  
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk  
of damaging the engine and fuel system!  
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 69 litres.  
Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.  
Low fuel level  
When the low fuel level is reached,  
one of these warning lamps lights  
The only Diesel fuel additives authorised  
for use are those that meet the B715000  
standard.  
up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the  
display of a message and an audible signal.  
When it first comes on, about 8 litres of fuel  
remain.  
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid  
running out of fuel.  
Diesel at low temperature  
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the  
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel  
fuels could prevent the engine from operating  
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use  
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank  
more than 50 % full.  
► Open the fuel filler flap.  
For more information on Running out of fuel  
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.  
A small arrow by the warning lamp  
indicates which side of the vehicle the  
fuel filler flap is located on.  
174  
Practical information  
► Put the filler cap back in place and close it by  
turning to the right.  
► Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your  
vehicle must be unlocked).  
If you have put in the wrong fuel for  
your vehicle, you must have the fuel  
tank drained and filled with the correct fuel  
before starting the engine.  
7
Fuel cut-off  
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that  
cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an  
impact.  
► With a conventional key, insert the key into  
the filler cap, then turn the key to the left.  
Diesel misfuel prevention  
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank  
of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps avoid the  
risk of engine damage that can result from filling  
with the wrong fuel.  
If the vehicle is equipped with a sliding  
door on its left-hand side, do not open it  
while the fuel filler flap is open (risk of  
damaging the fuel filler flap and the sliding  
door and risk of injuring the person filling up).  
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention  
device appears when the filler cap is removed.  
If the fuel filler flap is open and you try to  
open the left-hand side door, a  
mechanism prevents it from being opened.  
The door can be opened half-way, however.  
With a mechanical door, close the fuel filler  
flap to regain use of the door.  
With an electric door, to be able to use it  
correctly, close the fuel filler flap and then  
press an opening control.  
► Unscrew and remove the filler cap, then  
place it on the holder located on the fuel filler  
flap.  
► Insert the nozzle and push it in fully (while  
pushing on the metal valve A).  
► Fill the tank. Do not continue past the  
third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause  
malfunctions.  
The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,  
which helps to reduce the level of harmful  
emissions in the exhaust gases.  
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the  
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes  
into contact with the flap. The system remains  
closed and prevents filling.  
175  
Practical information  
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type  
filler nozzle.  
– Never open, modify or remove the cover of  
the traction battery.  
– Never work with cutting and forming  
tools or heat sources near high voltage  
components and cables.  
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill  
the tank slowly.  
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do  
not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct  
contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention  
device.  
In case of low level of fluid in the cooling  
tank, the refilling shall only be performed in a  
qualified and trained workshop to verify that  
the leakage is not in the traction battery.  
Any intervention on the high voltage system  
must be carried out by qualified persons in  
workshops qualified and approved to carry  
out this type of work.  
Damage to the vehicle or the traction battery  
could result in the leakage of toxic gases  
or fluids either immediately or later. Fiat  
recommends that you:  
– Always inform the fire and emergency  
services in the event of an incident, warning  
that the vehicle is equipped with a traction  
battery.  
– Never touch the liquids leaking from the  
traction battery.  
An electric vehicle’s power train can  
become hot during use and after  
switching off the ignition.  
Comply with the warning messages shown  
on the labels, particularly inside the charging  
flap.  
Travelling abroad  
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be  
different in other countries, the presence  
of the misfuel prevention device may make  
refuelling impossible.  
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to  
check with a Fiat Dealership if the vehicle is  
suitable for the distribution equipment of the  
countries visited.  
High voltage system voltage is  
dangerous and can cause burns or other  
injuries or even fatal electric shock.  
Since damage to high voltage components is  
not visible, Fiat recommends that you:  
– Never touch the components, damaged  
or not, and never let your jewelry or other  
metallic objects come into contact with these  
components.  
– Never work on the orange high voltage  
cables or on any other high voltage  
component marked with the Electric risk label.  
Any intervention on the high voltage system  
must be carried out by qualified persons in  
workshops qualified and approved to carry  
out this type of work.  
Charging system  
(Electric)  
– Do not inhale the gases emitted by the  
traction battery which are toxic.  
– Move away from the vehicle in the event of  
incident or accident, the gases emitted being  
flammable and could cause a fire.  
400 V electrical system  
The electric drive system, which operates at a  
voltage of approximately 400 V, is identified by  
orange cables and its components are marked  
with this symbol:  
– Never damage, modify or remove the  
orange high voltage cables or disconnect  
them from the high voltage network.

Practical information  
Observe the legislation in force in your  
country relating to the use of snow  
chains and maximum authorised speeds.  
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads  
that have been cleared of snow to avoid  
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road  
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy  
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its  
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.  
manufacturer's label and in the Technical  
data section of this guide.  
Complying with the maximum authorised  
nose weight (towball weight) also includes  
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,  
tow boxes, etc.).  
Only use chains that have been designed for the  
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle.

An electric vehicle may be fitted with a  
towing device.  
It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or  
caravan.  
Contact a Fiat Dealership or qualified  
workshop for more information and to obtain a  
suitable towing device.  
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the  
heaviest items are as close as possible to the  
axle, and the nose weight approaches the  
maximum permitted without exceeding it.  
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing  
engine performance. The maximum towable load  
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of  
altitude.  
You can also use snow socks.  
For more information, contact a Fiat Dealership  
or a qualified workshop.  
Installation tips  
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop  
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the  
road.  
► Apply the parking brake and position any  
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent  
movement of the vehicle.  
► Fit the snow chains following the instructions  
provided by the manufacturer.  
► Move off gently and drive for a few moments,  
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).  
► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow  
chains are correctly tightened.  
Use genuine towing devices and wiring  
harnesses approved by Fiat. We  
Roof bars/Roof rack  
recommend having them fitted by a Fiat  
Dealership or a qualified workshop.  
If not fitted by a Fiat Dealership, they must  
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle  
manufacturer's instructions.  
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions  
are automatically deactivated while an  
approved towing system is in use.  
As a safety measure and to avoid  
damaging the roof, it is essential to use  
the roof bars and roof racks approved for your  
vehicle.  
Observe the instructions on fitting and use  
contained in the guide supplied with the roof  
bars and racks.  
It is strongly recommended that you  
practise fitting the snow chains on a level  
and dry surface before setting off.  
Comply with the maximum authorised  
towable weight, as indicated on your  
vehicle's registration certificate, on the

Practical information  
► Open the fixing covers on each bar.  
► Put each fixing point in place and lock them  
to the roof one by one.  
Recommendations  
7
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care  
to avoid overloading one of the sides.  
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close  
as possible to the roof.  
► Ensure that the roof bars are correctly fitted  
(by shaking them).  
Secure the load firmly.  
► Close the fixing covers on each bar.  
The bars can be interchanged and are adaptable  
to each pair of fixing points.  
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more  
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its  
stability may be affected.  
Regularly check the security and tight  
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each  
trip.  
Roof racks  
Max. authorised load weight:  
– XS: 140 kg,  
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer  
needed.  
– M and XL: 170 kg.  
To fit a roof rack, use the fixing points provided  
for this purpose:  
► Place the roof rack on the roof aligned with  
the fixing points and secure each one to the roof  
in turn.  
With panoramic sunroof  
As this value may change, please verify  
the maximum load quoted in the guide  
supplied with the roof bars.  
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed  
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to  
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings  
on the vehicle.  
► Ensure that the roof rack is correctly fitted (by  
shaking it).  
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order  
to comply with the regulations for transporting  
objects that are longer than the vehicle.

immediately.  
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the  
coolant is regulated by the fan.  
As the cooling system is pressurised, wait at  
least one hour after switching off the engine  
before carrying out any work.  
In order to avoid the risk of scalding if you need  
to top up in an emergency, wrap a cloth around  
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to  
allow the pressure to drop.  
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap  
and top up to the required level.  
Brake fluid  
The level of this fluid should be close to  
the "MAX" mark. If not, check the brake  
pads for wear.  
To know how often the brake fluid should be  
replaced, refer to the manufacturer's servicing  
schedule.

Oil grade  
Before topping up or changing the  
engine oil, check that the oil is suitable  
for your engine and complies with the  
recommendations in the service schedule  
supplied with the vehicle (or available from  
your Fiat Dealership or qualified workshop).  
Use of non-recommended oil may invalidate  
your warranty in the event of engine failure.  
Clean the cap before removing it to refill.  
Use only DOT4 brake fluid from a sealed  
container.  
Vehicle with electric motor  
Power steering fluid  
Do not top up the coolant.  
The level of this fluid should be close to  
the "MAX" mark. Check it, with the

used in town, over short distances. It may be  
necessary to have the condition of the brakes  
checked, even between vehicle services.  
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the  
brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads  
are worn.  
Automatic gearbox  
The gearbox does not require any  
maintenance (no oil change).  
Drive selector  
The drive selector does not require any  
maintenance.  
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in  
wintry conditions, ice can form on the  
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may  
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and  
defrost them.  
Do not switch off the engine until the filter  
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals  
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.  
Regenerating the filter while the vehicle is  
stationary is not recommended.  
Manual parking brake  
If you notice excessive brake lever travel  
or decreased effectiveness, the parking  
brake must be adjusted, even between two  
services.  
Brake disc/drum wear  
For any information on checking brake  
disc/drum wear, contact a Fiat Dealership  
or a qualified workshop.  
Following prolonged operation of the  
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you  
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice  
water vapour coming from the exhaust while  
accelerating. These emissions have no  
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the  
environment.  
This system must be checked by a Fiat  
Dealership or a qualified workshop.  
Electric parking brake  
Wheels and tyres  
The inflation pressure of all tyres,  
including the spare wheel, must be  
checked on "cold” tyres.  
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure  
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven  
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles  
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add  
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the  
label.  
This system does not require any routine  
servicing. However, in the event of a  
problem, do not hesitate to have the system  
checked by a Fiat Dealership or a qualified  
workshop.

The AdBlue® is contained in a special  
tank holding about 20 litres.  
Its capacity allows a driving range of  
approximately 3,000 miles (5,000 km) (which  
may vary considerably depending on your  
driving style and the vehicle). An alert system  
is automatically triggered when the remaining  
range reaches 1,500 miles (2,400 km), i.e. once  
the reserve level has been reached.  
Several alerts are triggered successively during  
the remaining 1,500 miles (2,400 km) until the  
tank is empty and the vehicle is immobilised.  
If the estimated distance travelled by the vehicle  
between two services is greater than 3,000 miles  
(5,000 km), it will be necessary to top up the  
AdBlue.  
Driving with worn or damaged tyres reduces the  
braking and road holding performance of the  
vehicle. Regularly check the condition of the  
tyres (tread and sidewalls) and rims as well as  
the presence of the valve caps.  
When the wear indicators no longer appear set  
back from the tread, the depth of the grooves is  
less than 1.6 mm; replace the tyres as soon as  
possible.  
Using different size wheels and tyres from those  
specified can affect the lifetime of tyres, wheel  
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer  
reading and have an adverse effect on road  
holding.  
Timing and accessory kits  
The timing and accessory kits are used  
from the time the engine is started until it  
is switched off. It is normal for them to wear over  
time.  
A faulty timing or accessory kit can damage  
the engine, rendering it unusable. Observe the  
recommended replacement frequency, stated in  
distance travelled or time elapsed, whichever is  
reached first.  
AdBlue® (BlueHDi)  
For more information on the Warning  
and indicator lamps and the associated  
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the  
corresponding sections.  
To respect the environment and ensure  
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without  
adversely affecting the performance or fuel  
consumption of its Diesel engines, Fiat has  
taken the decision to equip its vehicles with a  
system that combines SCR (Selective Catalytic  
Reduction) with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) for  
the treatment of exhaust gases.  
Fitting different tyres on the front and rear axles  
can cause the ESC to mistime.  
Always mark the direction of rotation on the tyres  
that will be stored when fitting winter or summer  
tyres. Store them in a cool, dry place and away  
from direct exposure to the sun's rays.  
Winter or 4-seasons tyres can be  
Once the AdBlue® tank is empty, a device

vapours have an irritant effect on mucous  
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).  
7
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of  
children, in its original container.  
Recommendations on  
storage  
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and deteriorates  
above +25°C. Containers should be stored in a  
cool area and protected from direct sunlight.  
Under these conditions, the fluid can be kept for  
at least a year.  
Procedure  
Freezing of the AdBlue®  
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures below  
around -11°C.  
The SCR system includes a heater for the  
AdBlue® tank, allowing you to continue driving  
in very cold conditions.  
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that  
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.  
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature  
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the  
AdBlue® may be frozen and so cannot be poured  
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area  
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried  
out.  
If the fluid has frozen, it can be used once it has  
completely thawed out at room temperature.  
Never store AdBlue® containers in your  
vehicle.  
Supply of AdBlue®  
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel  
fuel tank.  
It is recommended that the AdBlue® be topped  
up as soon as the first alert is issued indicating  
that the reserve level has been reached.  
Precautions for use  
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is  
non-flammable, colourless and odourless (when  
kept in a cool place).  
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are  
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse  
immediately with cold water or wipe with a  
damp cloth.  
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a  
sponge and hot water.  
For the correct operation of the SCR  
system:  
– Use only AdBlue® fluid that meets the ISO  
22241 standard.  
– Never transfer AdBlue® to another container  
as it would lose its purity.  
– Never dilute AdBlue® with water.  
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the  
affected area with soap and running water. In the  
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse  
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an  
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek  
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning  
sensation or irritation.  
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth  
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.  
In certain conditions (high temperature, for  
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot

Practical information  
Promptly clean up any stains containing  
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's  
paintwork (including tree resin, bird  
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).  
Depending on the environment, clean the  
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits  
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas)  
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These  
substances can be highly corrosive.  
Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualified  
workshop for advice on removing stubborn  
stains requiring special products (such as tar  
or insect removers).  
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed  
by a Fiat Dealership or a qualified workshop.  
Never select the programme with hot wax  
finish.  
Bodywork  
High-gloss paint  
Never use high-pressure lances equipped  
with brushes - risk of scratching paint!  
Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to  
the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products  
irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.  
Do not use abrasive products, solvents,  
petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.  
Never use an abrasive sponge to clean  
stubborn stains - risk of scratching the  
paintwork!  
Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to  
plastic or rubber parts.  
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least  
high-flow water jet.  
Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.  
Only a clean microfibre cloth is recommended  
for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle  
without rubbing.  
Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the  
bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.  
Clean off minor marks (for example, finger  
marks), using a maintenance product  
recommended by Fiat.  
Use a soft cloth and soapy water or a pH  
neutral product.  
Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean  
microfibre cloth.  
Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.  
Comply with the instructions for use stated on  
the product.  
Interior  
When washing the vehicle, never use a  
water hose or high-pressure jet to clean  
the interior.  
Liquids carried in cups or other open  
containers can spill, presenting a risk of  
damage to the instruments and controls and  
the controls located on the centre console. Be  
vigilant!  
To clean instrument panels, touch screens  
or other displays, wipe gently with a soft,  
dry cloth. Do not use products (e.g. alcohol,  
disinfectant) or soapy water directly on these  
surfaces - risk of damage!  
Textured paint  
Decals  
This type of paint reacts under the effect of  
light, through variations in appearance and  
finish that highlight the lines and contours of the  
vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that  
remain visible and create a unique satin effect  
with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a  
surprising touch.  
(Depending on version)  
Do not use a high-pressure washer to  
clean the vehicle - risk of damaging or  
detaching the decals!  
Use a high-flow hose (temperature  
between 25°C and 40°C).  
Place the jet of water perpendicular to the

Practical information  
Leather  
7
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular  
care is essential for its durability.  
It must be protected and nourished using a  
specific leather product, to keep it supple and  
preserve its original appearance.  
Do not use maintenance products which  
are not suitable for cleaning leather  
(e.g. solvent, detergent, petrol, pure alcohol).  
Do not use bleaching or colour-removal  
products (e.g. perchloroethylene).  
When cleaning items partly made from  
leather, take care not to damage the other  
materials with the specific leather product.  
Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids,  
quickly mop up any surplus.  
Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable  
to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has  
been dampened with demineralised water  
and thoroughly wrung out.  
Clean the leather, without rubbing too  
vigorously, using a soft cloth moistened with  
soapy water or a pH-neutral product.  
Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
