REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with oc-
tane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with
the European Standard EN 228.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel for motor
vehicles in compliance with the European Standard
EN 590. The use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged;
set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ig-
nition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has
started.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for
the warning lights Y(or symbol on the display) and m
to go off. Then, turn the ignition key to AVV and release
it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures
during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous
diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions
to ensure better respect for the environment.K
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical ac-
cessories (with the risk of gradually draining the bat-
tery), contact a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that the ve-
hicle electric system can support the required load.
CODE card
Keep the card in a safe place, not in the car. Make sure
you have the electronic code written on the CODE
card with you at all times.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct car servicing is essential for ensuring it stays in
tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its
environmental friendliness and low running costs for
a long time to come.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, tips and warnings for correct
use, driving safety and maintenance of your car over
time. Pay special attention to the symbols

starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50 °C.
Under normal conditions, the needle should hover
around the middle of the scale depending on the working
conditions.
C Low engine coolant temperature
H High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light B may light up (with a message on

to indicate that the coolant temperature is too high; in this
case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 19
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see the instructions provided in paragraph
“At the filling station”).
The reserve warning light A turns on to indicate that
approximately 5 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to E with the warning light
A flashing to indicate that the system is failing. If this is
the case, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
If the needle reaches the red area, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
