REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the Eu-
ropean specification EN 228.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other prod-
ucts or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused.
ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines with mechanical gearbox: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to
neutral; fully depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as
soon as the engine has started.
Petrol engines with Selespeed gearbox: keep the brake pedal fully depressed; turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine has started; the transmission sets to neutral automatically.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights
Yand mto go off; turn the igni-
tion key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine nee-
dles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to en-
sure better respect for the environment.

OF THE CAR
USING THE
“SELESPEED” GEARBOX
(where provided)
The car may be fitted with a mechanical
transmission with electronic control called
“Selespeed”. This device includes a con-
ventional mechanical gearbox to which an
electronically-operated electro-hydraulic
device has been added which controls au-
tomatically the clutch and gear engage-
ment.
The car moves off using only the acceler-
ator pedal.
To be able to use the Selespeed correct-
ly, this chapter should be read in full. OPERATION
The gearbox can work in two operating
modes:
❒the first mode is manual (MANUAL),
the driver directly requests gearshift-
ing;
❒the second mode is automatic (AUTO),
the system directly decides when shift-
ing gear.
On versions fitted with Cruise Control,
when activating it, the Selespeed gearbox
will automatically set in AUTO mode. To
select the manual mode deactivate the
Cruise Control (see paragraph “Cruise
Control” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).Manual mode (MANUAL)
In MANUAL mode, the display shows the
gear engaged.
The requests to change gear may take
place through:❒the gear lever A-fig. 5on the central
console;
❒the steering wheel controls fig. 6,
which can be operated only when the
car speed exceeds 5 km/h.
It is not necessary to release the acceler-
ator pedal when shifting gears.
Neutral (N) is accepted until the car speed
exceeds 40 km/h. The reverse gear en-
gagement (R) is accepted only if the car
is stationary.

SYSTEM ACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to MAR, after
about one second, the display shows the
gear engaged (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R): from this
moment onwards, the Selespeed system
accepts gearshift commands.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds the dis-
play does not show the gear engaged, turn
the ignition key to STOP, and wait for the
display to turn off, then repeat system
switch on. If the fault persists, contact Fi-
at Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is
opened the system starts the hydraulic
part of the system to prepare it for when
the engine is started. MOVING-OFF
With the engine on and the car stationary,
the gears that can be engaged for moving
off are only first (1), second (2) and/or re-
verse (R).
To engage them it is possible, keeping the
brake pedal pressed, to use only the
gearshift lever on the central console.
Moving off of the car is obtained releas-
ing the brake pedal and gradually press-
ing the accelerator pedal.
With the ASR system off (pressing the
ASR off button) moving off will be more
“brilliant”.
IMPORTANT Reverse gear (R) can be en-
gaged from any of the following other
gears: neutral (N), first (1) or second (2)
only when the car is stationary.IMPORTANT If when shifting from re-
verse (R) / first (1) or neutral (N) / first (1)
sticking occurs on the first gear, the sys-
tem automatically engages second gear (2).
This is not to be considered as a fault as
it is part of the operating logic. For the
same reason, in the case of sticking on re-
verse gear, the system partially closes the
clutch to allow gear engagement; in this
case the engagement of reverse gear (R)
will not be as smooth as usual.
After a request to shift gear
with the car stationary, be-
fore pressing the accelerator pedal to
make the car move, the driver must
always check the display to see that
the gear engaged is the one required.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
Failures of the Selespeed gearbox are
shown by warning light
ton the in-
strument panel, together with the relevant
message (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In case of system failure:
❒a buzzer will sound;
❒where provided, the AUTO mode will
be engaged automatically to make it
possible to reach the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership and have the fault eliminated.
In the case of a fault, the system only al-
lows the engagement of first gear (1), sec-
ond gear (2) and reverse (R). IMPORTANT If the engine is stopped with
the AUTO mode engaged, this will be
stored by the system. Indeed, the next
time the engine is started, this condition
will still be active.
IMPORTANT Should the engine go off
with the car on the move, the next time
it is started the warning light
Ymay
come on. In this case check that the warn-
ing light
Ygoes off turning the engine off
and on again with the car stationary. If not,
contact Fiat Dealership.
Never remove the ignition
key when the car is moving.
In addition to the fact that the Sele-
speed system would not work prop-
erly up to stopping the car, the steer-
ing wheel would lock automatically
the first time it is turned.
WARNING
It is absolutely necessary to
turn off the engine and then
turn off the Selespeed system keep-
ing the brake pedal pressed: ONLY
release the pedal when the display on
the instrument panel has gone out.
WARNING
In the event of a gearbox
fault (to any component),
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the system checked
over.
