STATION
The Fiat barchetta’s pollution control
devices make it essential to use only
unleaded petrol.
However, to avoid accidents, the
hole for the petrol pump nozzle is too
small to accommodate the nozzle of
petrol pumps containing leaded petrol.
The octane number (R.O.N.) must be
at least 95. Have the cellular phone
installed and connected
to the provision system in
the vehicle exclusively at a Fiat
Dealership.
Have the cellular phone
and the connections in-
stalled by a Fiat Dealer-
ship only. This will ensure the
best results and avoid problems
affecting car safety.
