IMPORTANT Improper installation of
mobile communication equipment such as
cellular telephones or CB (Citizen’s Band)
radios may cause electronic interference
with your vehicle’s ignition system, re-
sulting in vehicle performance problems.
Consult your Fiat Dealership or qualified
service technician for advice on installing
such mobile communication equipment.
The circle with a slash in this manual
means “Don’t do this” or “Don’t let this
happen”.
MODIFICATION WARNING
Do not modify this vehicle.

lems resulting from modification may
not be covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT The vehicle must only be
filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles,
in compliance with European Standard
EN590. The use of other products or mix-
tures may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due to
the damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally 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.
IMPORTANT The fuel tank has an air
space to allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel after
the filler nozzle has automatically shut off
or an initial blowback occurs, the air
chamber will become full. Exposure to
heat when fully fuelled in this manner will
result in leakage due to fuel expansion. To
prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling af-
ter the filler nozzle has automatically shut
off, or when using an alternative non au-
tomatic system, initial vent blowback oc-
curs.
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
Fiat CODE - Immobilizer System
(if equipped)
This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
which has an electronic identification code
programmed into it. The key communi-
cates the identification code to the vehi-
cle when the key is turned to the “ON”
position. If you need to make spare keys,
see your Fiat Dealership. The vehicle must
be programmed with the correct identi-
fication code for the spare keys. A key
made by an ordinary locksmith will not
work.
KEYS
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identi-
cal keys. One key can open all of the locks
on the vehicle. Keep the spare key in a safe
place.
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or
on the keys. Keep the tag (if equipped) in
a safe place. If you lose your keys, you will
need this number to have new keys made.
IMPORTANT All the keys and the metal
tag must be handed over to the new own-
er when selling the vehicle.
