RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transceivers (e.g.: CB radio systems and the like)
should not be used inside the vehicle unless a separate
aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the pas-
senger compartment (without an external aerial) may, in
addition to potential damage to the health of the passen-
gers, cause malfunctions in the vehicle electronic systems,
compromising the safety of the vehicle.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is con-
cerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the instructions for
use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.
AT THE FILLING STATIONPETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fuel filler is too
small to introduce the bit of a leaded petrol pumps.
The petrol octane rating (RON) must not be lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter 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 cat-
alytic converter beyond repair.

AIR BAGThe car is fitted with front air bags (for versions/markets
where provided) for the driver and the passenger and front
side bags (side bag – window bag).
FRONT AIR BAGS
The front driver/passenger air bags have been designed to
protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of
medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the
occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect car’s passengers in
head-on crashes and therefore non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the
event of a front crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between
the front passengers’ body and the structures which could
cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are not a replacement
of but complementary to the seat belts, which should al-
ways be worn, as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat belt will
move forward and come into contact with the bag which
is still inflating. The protection offered by the air bag cush-
ion is reduced in such a case.Front air bags may not be activated in the following situ-
ations:
❒
in collisions against highly deformable objects not af-
fecting the car front surface (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, etc.);
❒
car wedging under other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional protection compared
with seat belts, so their activation would be improper.
Therefore, failure to come into action in the above cir-
cumstances does not mean that the system is not work-
ing properly.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
the steering wheel, to the passenger’s side
air bag cover side or on the side roof lining. Nev-
er put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the pas-
senger’s side dashboard since they could interfere
with proper air bag inflation and also cause seri-
ous injury to the passengers.

Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
having the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing Pro-
gramme” in this chapter will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic
devices may cause severe damage to your
car. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you want
to install accessories (alarms, mobile phone, etc...):
they will suggest the most suitable devices and ad-
vise you if a higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.
If the car must remain unused for a long
time at very low temperature, remove the
battery and carry it to a warm place, to avoid
freezing.
WARNING
Batteries contain substances that can be
very dangerous for the environment. It is
advisable to have battery replaced by a
Fiat Dealership where it will be disposed respecting
the environment and according to law prescription.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer, ob-
serve the following instructions:❒
when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and
bonnet are closed properly, to prevent any light switch-
ing-on inside the passenger’s compartment;
When you must perform any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with the special goggles.
