The hands-free telephone shall be purchased by the Customer since it must be compatible with the
Customer’s cellular phone.
To install the cellular phone and make the relevant connection in the car it is essential to have the

INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the car
or in aftermarket shall bear the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of
transceivers provided that installation is carried out at
a specialized shop, workmanlike performed and in
compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Installation of devices resulting in
modifications of car characteristics may cause driving
license seizing by traffic agents and also the lapse of
the warranty as concerns defects due to the
abovementioned modification or traceable back to it
directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damages
caused by the installation of non-genuine accessories
or not recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed
not in compliance with the specified requirements.RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs mobile phones,
HAM radio systems and the like) shall not be used inside
the car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without separated aerial)
produces radio-frequency electromagnetic fields
which, amplified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause electrical systems
equipping the car to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with the instructions for
use provided by the mobile phone’s manufacturer.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case burden the electric supply, contact Fiat
Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides
suggesting the most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric
absorption, checking whether the car’s electric system
is able to withstand the load required, or whether it
needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Apply to Fiat Dealership only to have the cellular phone installed and to connect it to car
presetting.

AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler
is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump filler.
Use petrol with a rated octane number (R.O.N.) not
lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to harmful
exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amount or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalyst beyond repair.
The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European
Specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with
another type of fuel, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has been run even
for only a very short time, in addition to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel
circuit.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin and could
clog the fuel filter.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season: summer
type, winter type and arctic type (cold mountain
areas).
If refuelling with diesel type not suitable for cold
temperatures, add TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in
the proportions stated on the can, pouring first the
antifreeze in the tank and then the diesel fuel.
If driving or parking the vehicle for a long period in
cold areas/mountains, refuel with the diesel fuel
available at local filling stations.
In this situation you are also recommended to have in
the tank an amount of fuel 50% higher than usable
capacity.

FUEL FILLER CAP
the cap (B) is fitted with an antiloss device (C) which fastens it to the lid
(A) so it cannot be mislaid.
To open: hold the cap (B) still, turn the key anticlockwise, turn the cap by
about half a turn and remove it.
While refuelling, the cap can be placed directly on the flap (A) as shown
in the figure.
IMPORTANT The hermetic closure may cause a slight pressure build-up
in the tank, a slight hiss when opening the cap is quite normal.
To close: fit the cap (with the key) and turn it clockwise until you hear
one or more clicks; hold the cap still, turn the key clockwise then
remove it.
IMPORTANT If it becomes necessary to replace the cap, use only an
original spare, otherwise the vapour recovery system efficiency could
become reduced.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel system.
F0E0667m
Do not put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the fuel filler hole as there is a
danger of fire. Do not bend too close to the hole either so as not to breathe in
harmful vapours.WARNING

PROTECTING
THE ENVIRONMENT
Protecting the environment has been the guiding
principle in the design of the Fiat Multipla right from
start. The result is the use of materials and creation of
devices that can reduce or considerably curtail harmful
influences on the environment.The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are
the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions
are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.).
As a consequence Fiat Multipla is ready to travel with
several advantage points over the most severe
international anti-pollution regulations.
During normal service the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures.
Therefore, do not park the car over inflammable material (grass, dry leaves, pine
needles, etc.): fire danger.WARNING
