IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT
THE T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
Failure indications will not be stored and
therefore will not be displayed when turn-
ing the engine off and on again. If failure
persists, the control unit will send warn-
ing indications to the instrument panel on-
ly after a few seconds when the car is
moving.
IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot in-
dicate sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.:
tyre burst). In this event, brake the car
cautiously and avoid sudden steering.
IMPORTANT Replacing standard tyres
with winter tyres and vice versa involves
T.P.M.S. system set-up that shall be per-
formed at Fiat Dealerships only.
IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system re-
quires special equipment. Consult Fiat
Dealership to know what type of acces-
sories are compatible with the system
(wheels, wheel caps, etc.). Using other ac-
cessories could cause system malfunc-
tioning.IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change
according to outside temperature. For this
reason the T.P.M.S. system could tem-
porarily indicate low tyre pressure. In this
event check pressure with cold tyres and
restore proper inflation values if required.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or rim removal
and refitting operations involve special
precautions; to prevent damages or wrong
sensor refitting, contact Fiat Dealership to
have tyre and/or rim changed.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with
T.P.M.S. system, when changing a tyre,
change also the rubber seal of the valve.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Strong radiofrequency
noise may inhibit regular TPMS system op-
eration; in this event, a dedicated message
will be displayed to warn the driver. This
message will disappear automatically as
soon as noise disappears.SOUND SYSTEM
(where provided)
For the operation of the radio with
CD/MP3 CD (where provided), read the
instructions for use given in the Supple-
ment attached to the Owner Handbook.
SOUND SYSTEM
(where provided)
The system includes:
❒2 tweeters (power 40W max. each),
located on front doors;
❒2 mid-woofers, (diameter 165 mm,
power 40W max. each), located on
front doors;
❒2 full-range speakers, (diameter 165
mm, power 40W max. each), located
on rear doors.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF). FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 128
The fuel filler cap lock is automatically con-
trolled by the central door lock.
In an emergency (e.g.: electric system fail-
ure) it is possible to unlock it by pulling
string B. To find the string, remove the
right-hand side cover A.
To carry out fuelling, open flap C-fig. 129
and unscrew cap D; the cap is fitted with
an antiloss device Ewhich fastens it to the
flap so it cannot be mislaid.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal.When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the flap as shown in the fig-
ure.
If the doors are locked, press the door un-
lock button
´on central panel to refuel.
The fuel filler cap is re-locked when the
doors are locked.
fig. 128F0L0137m
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.
