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 (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause elec-
trical systems equipping the car to mal-
function. 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.AT THE FILLING
STATION
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-
el tank filler is too small to introduce a lead
petrol pump filler. Use petrol with a rat-
ed octane number (R.O.N.) not lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 100
To carry out fuelling, open lid Aand un-
screw cap B; the cap is fitted with an an-
tiloss device Cwhich fastens it to the lid
so it cannot be mislaid.
On certain versions cap Bis provided with
a key-lock, to open it, open lid A, then
turn the ignition key counter-clockwise
and slacken the cap.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. Alittle breath-
ing off, while slackening the cap, is ab-
solutely normal.
When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the lid as shown in fig. 100.

USE OF THE CAR
UNDER HEAVY
CONDITIONS
Should prevailing use of the car be under
one of the following specially heavy con-
ditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and
repeated with external temperatures
below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g.: door-to-
door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
❒urban routes;
carry out checks more frequently than re-
quired on Service Schedule:
❒check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒check cleanness of bonnet and boot
locks and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒sight inspect the conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒check and replace pollen filter, if re-
quired;
❒check and replace air cleaner, if re-
quired.
PERIODICAL CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒check light system operation (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard
lights, etc.);
❒check windscreen wiper/washer op-
eration and windscreen/rear window
blade position/wear.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Selenia
products, designed and produced specifi-
cally for Abarth cars (see table “Capaci-
ties” in section “Technical specifications”).
