"lpg not available"

Went to do a test drive on 2025 Duster bi-fuel, everything going great, but then I press the LPG button and we get a warning of "lpg not available" (or similar it was in Portuguese). The dealer was flabbergasted and didn't know what was happening.. Pulled over. Turned off and on, no improvement. Any idea what might be up?? Does this happen??

I heard it can happen on specific conditions, for example : too cold outside.
When the motor is hot enough, it allows you to switch.

However, I am not sure why you specifically couldn't. :|

Well, wasn't the case. It's about 26-28 celcius outside and we had been driving for about 10min. So neither the outside or the indie was cold. Weird :/

Try to keep the lpg button pressed for longer than 20 seconds and see if it switches

Portuguese here, so I'm used to the climate. I have 2 LPG Dacias, a 10 year old Logan MCV and a 3 year old Jogger.

The cold weather can affect the time it needs to enable LPG but that's it. It never gets cold enough here for it not to enable, even in the snow.

Did the tank actually had LPG inside?... Otherwise you may have encountered a malfunction, but it never happened to me. It was simply bad luck.

I called the dealer yesterday he said the mechanic didn't find any fault and to try and put gas into it, in spite of the panel showing 78km left in the LPG . They did and the error disappeared
