ALARM
The car alarm system is available at Lin-
eaccessori Fiat.
Used batteries are harmful to
the environment. You can dis-
pose of them either in the
correct containers as speci-
fied by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their
disposal.Requesting additional
remote controls
The system acknowledges up to 8 remote
controls. Should a new remote control be
necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership, tak-
ing with you the CODE card, a personal
identity document and the car’s owner-
ship documents.

FUEL TANK CAP fig. 101
To carry out refuelling, open lid Aand un-
screw cap B; the cap is fitted with a de-
vice Cwhich fastens it to the lid so it can-
not be mislaid.
In some versions, cap Bmay be provided
with a lock and key; use the ignition key
to access the flap A, turn it anti-clockwise
and unscrew the cap itself.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-
crease in pressure in the tank. A suction
noise when you release the cap is there-
fore entirely normal.
When refuelling, hook the cap onto the
device inside the lid as shown in fig. 101.
fig. 101F0M0138m
Do not place naked flames
or lit cigarettes near to the
fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep your
face away from the fuel tank open-
ing to avoid breathing in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
Filling the tank
To fill the tank completely, top up twice
after the first click of the trigger. Further
top ups could cause faults in the fuel sup-
ply system.
PROTECTING
THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The following devices are used for reduc-
ing diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-
ups will prevent the engine from reach-
ing optimal running temperature. Conse-
quently, both fuel consumption (from +15
to +30% on the urban cycle) and emis-
sions will increase.
Traffic and road
conditions
Heavy traffic, for instance when travelling
in a queue with frequent use of low gears
or in cities with lots of traffic lights, caus-
es fairly high fuel consumption. Mountain
roads and uneven surfaces also have a neg-
ative effect on consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. at level
crossings) the engine should be switched
off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be equipped with an ap-
proved tow hook and adequate electrical
system to tow caravans or trailers. Instal-
lation must be performed by specialised
personnel who will issue the required pa-
pers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear
view mirrors in accordance with the high-
way code of the country in which you are
travelling.
Remember that, when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking dis-
tances increase and overtaking takes
longer relative to the overall weight of the
trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car’s tow
hook will reduce the load capacity of the
car by the same amount. Consider the
weight of the trailer fully laden, including
accessories and luggage, to make sure you
do not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the vehicle registration
document). Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
as speed increases. Keep your speed as
even as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cause ex-
cessive fuel consumption and increased
emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects con-
sumption and emissions: acceleration
should be gradual and should not exceed
the maximum torque.

STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on permanently, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with an
equal or slightly higher capacity than the
flat one. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒connect the positive terminals (+near
the terminal) of the two batteries with
a jump lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point
Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine.
❒when the engine has been started, fol-
low the sequence above in reverse or-
der to remove the leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not keep trying but contact a Fiat
Dealership.IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another car, prevent acciden-
tal contact between metallic parts of the
two cars.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
considerable electrical discharge. Fur-
thermore, battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and lit
cigarettes away from the battery. Do
not create sparks.
WARNING
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not active until the engine is started,
so you will need to apply much more force
to the brake pedal or steering wheel.

DEMANDING USE
OF THE CAR
Should the car be used predominantly in
one of the following particularly demand-
ing conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated
journeys in sub-zero temperatures;
❒ frequently idling engine or long-dis-
tance, low-speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or lengthy inactivity;
❒ driving in towns and cities;
you should perform the following inspec-
tions more frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot
locks, and cleanliness and lubrication of
linkages;
❒ visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect the condition of the ac-
cessory drive belts;
❒check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen
wiper/washer system, position and
wear of the windscreen and rear win-
dow wiper blades;
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if re-
quired, the engine oil level.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have been
designed and produced specifically for
Fiat cars (see table “Capacities” in the
“Technical specifications” section).
