which are broken, damaged, worn or

a Fiat Dealership.

Further top-ups could cause faults in

the fuel feeding system.

REFUELING PROCEDURE

Diesel and petrol versions

"Capless Fuel" is a device at the

opening for the fuel tank which opens

and re-closes automatically when the

fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.

The "Capless Fuel" device is provided

with an inhibitor which prevents

refuelling with incorrect fuel.

REFUELLING THE

CAR

136) 137) 138)

Before refuelling, check you are using

the correct type of fuel.

Also stop the engine before refuelling.

Opening the flap

To refuel proceed as follows:

unlock flap (1) fig. 143 by pressing on

the specified point and then open it;

introduce the nozzle in the filler and

refuel;

removing the fuel nozzle, wait at least

10 seconds to allow the fuel to flow into

the tank;

then remove the nozzle from the filler

and close flap (1).

When using or parking the car for a

long time in the mountains or cold

areas, it is advisable to refuel using

locally available Diesel. In this case, it

is also advisable to keep the tank over

50% full.

Flap A is provided with a dust boot (2)

which prevents deposits of impurities

and dust at the end of the filler when

the flap is closed.

REFUELLING CAPACITY

To ensure that you fill the tank

completely, top up twice after the first

click of the fuel supply gun.

AdBlue storage

AdBlue is considered a very stable

product with a long shelf life. Stored at

temperatures LOWER than 32°C, it has

a shelf life of at least one year.

Follow the instructions on the label of

the container.

Do not try to start the engine

if the AdBlue was accidentally

added to the Diesel fuel tank,

this can result in serious engine

damage, contact a Fiat Dealership.

Do not add additives or other

fluids to AdBlue , doing so could

damage the system.

Fuel storage - Diesel Fuel

140)

In case of the storage of massive

amounts of fuel, good maintenance

is essential. The fuel contaminated

with water favours the proliferation of

"microbes". These microbes create a

"slime" that can clog the filter system

and fuel pipes. Remove water from the

supply tank and regularly replace the

filter pipe.

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.

IMPORTANT

136) Do not apply any object/cap to the

end of the filler which is not provided

for the car. The use of non-compliant

objects/plugs could cause a pressure

increase inside the tank, resulting in

dangerous situations.

Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
