Fiat SCUDO - Shock Absorbers; SCR System

208
Practical information
Under-ination increases energy
consumption. Non-compliant tyre
pressures cause tyres to wear prematurely
and have an adverse e󰀨ect on the vehicle's
road holding - risk of accident!
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 di󰀨erent size wheels and tyres from those
specied can a󰀨ect the lifetime of tyres, wheel
rotation, ground clearance, the speedometer
reading and have an adverse e󰀨ect on road
holding.
Fitting di󰀨erent 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 tting 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
identied by this symbol on their
sidewalls.
Shock absorbers
It is not easy for drivers to detect when
shock absorbers are worn. Nevertheless,
the shock absorbers have a major impact on
road holding and braking performance.
For your safety and driving comfort, it is
important to have them regularly checked by a
Fiat Dealership or a qualied workshop.
Timing and accessory kits
The timing and accessory kits are used
from the time the engine is started until it
is switched o󰀨. 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 rst.
AdBlue
®
(BlueHDi)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the Euro 6 standard, without
adversely a󰀨ecting 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.
SCR system
Using a liquid called AdBlue
®
that contains
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85% of
the nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
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.
For more information on the Warning
and indicator lamps and the associated
alerts, or the Indicators, please refer to the
corresponding sections.
Once the AdBlue
®
tank is empty, a device
required by law prevents the engine from
being restarted.
If the SCR system is faulty, the level of
emissions from the vehicle will no longer meet
the Euro 6 standard and the vehicle starts
polluting the environment.

malfunction, it is essential to visit a Fiat
