KEY WITHOUT REMOTE CONTROL
Key (A) (delivered in one copy only) is the one to be used normally for:
❒starting up
❒locking/unlocking the doors
❒locking/unlocking the fuel cap
❒deactivating the passenger’s airbag.
Key (B), with built-in remote control, performs the same functions as key
(A) for cars fitted with door remote control and/or electronic alarm.
KEY WITH REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control built into the ignition key has a button (C) and a led
(D) (where required); the button activates the remote control and the
led flashes to show that the transmitter is sending the code to the
receiver. The remote control operates at radio-frequency.
Ministerial homologation
In accordance with the regulations in force in each country as concerns
radio-frequency, the following shall be pointed out: the specific
homologation numbers for each country are indicated in the last pages of
this handbook and for markets requiring transmitter code marking, the
homologation number is printed directly on the key grip.

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

JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start the engine using an auxiliary
battery with the same capacity or a little higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows:
❒Connect positive terminals (+) of the two batteries with a jump lead.
❒With a second lead, connect the negative terminal (-) of the auxiliary
battery to an earth point
Eon the engine or the gearbox of the car to
be started.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the detonating gas which could come out
of the battery. If the auxiliary battery is installed on another car, avoid
metal parts touching accidentally between this car and the one with the
flat battery.
❒Start the engine.
❒When the engine has been started, remove the leads reversing the
order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not insist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.
F0E0670m
Never use a battery charger to start the engine as this could damage the electronic systems of your
vehicle, particularly the ignition and fuel supply control units.
WARNINGThis starting procedure must be carried out by qualified personnel because
incorrect operations may cause electrical discharge of considerable intensity. The
liquid contained in the battery is poisonous an corrosive. Avoid contact with the
skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted cigarettes away from the battery and
do not cause sparks.
