the maximum level because if the
UREA freezes the system can be
damaged. Follow the instructions in
the “Topping up
AdBlue® diesel
emissions additive (UREA)” paragraph
in this chapter.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the
fluid that has been spilled on the
ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA 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.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded AdBlue® may lead to
indications appearing on the instrument
panel display (see “Warning lights and
messages" paragraph in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into another
container: it could be contaminated.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter to continue
using the car normally.
AdBlue® (UREA) storage
AdBlue®
(UREA) 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.
Fuel storage - Diesel Fuel
139)
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.
NOTE When a Diesel engine runs out
of fuel, air is blown through the fuel
system.
Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply
circuit is completely empty, proceed as
follows to reintroduce fuel to the tank:
open the boot and take adaptor 3
fig. 133, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap 1 fig. 131, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the boot.
Versions with LPG system
The gas filler is located next to the
petrol filler cap. It has a "non return",
located in the filler body itself.
To access the filler 2 fig. 134 open the
access flap 1.
Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
apply the handbrake;
ignition key turned to the OFF
position;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.
