Ideally, refuel the car
before the reserve warn-
ing light illuminates.
Driving in fuel shortage condi-
tions can cause irregular supply
with negative effects on the
exhaust and catalytic system.
A damaged catalytic
convertor means harm-
ful emissions and conse-
quent environment pollution.NEVER go close to the
tank filler with naked
flames or lit cigarettes:
Also avoid going too close to
the fuel tank filler area, to avoid
inhaling harmful vapours.
NEVER fill leaded fuel
in the car (even in an
emergency) as the cat-
alytic muffler will get irre-
barably damaged.

The pretensioners can
only be used once. After a
collision that has trig-
gered it, have it replaced at a Fi-
at Dealership. The device will last
for 10 years from the date of pro-
duction given to the adhesive la-
bel. Replace the pretensioners as
this date approaches.INSTRUMENTS

Operations involving
banging, vibrations or
heating (exceeding 100
C° for a maximum of 6 hours) in
the area around the pretension-
er may trigger or damage the de-
vice. Vibrations from rough road
surfaces or accidental jolting
caused by mounting pavements
etc. do not have any effect on the
pretensioner. If, however, you
need any assistance, go to a Fiat
Dealership.
