ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electrical supply
(sound system, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or ones that
drain the battery, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose quali-
fied personnel, besides suggesting the most suitable de-
vices from Lineaccessori Fiat, will also check whether the
vehicle’s electrics are able to withstand the load required,
or whether they need to be integrated with a more pow-
erful battery.

Take care when fitting additional spoilers,
alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs:
they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes
and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated brak-

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving
devices provided that they are installed by a specialised
centre according to rules of good engineering practice in
compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on the
road if devices have been installed which modify the features
of the car. This may also cause invalidation of warranty in
relation to faults caused by the change or either directly
or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by
the installation of accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed in com-
pliance with the provided instructions.
RADIOTRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB
radios, amateur radio etc.) shall not be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the pas-
senger compartment (without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle electrical systems to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers’ health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the car 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.

REFUELLING THE CAR
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fuel tank opening is
too small to insert the nozzle of a leaded petrol pump. 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 pol-
lution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thick-
ens due to the formation of paraffin clots and could clog
the diesel filter. In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type (cold, moun-
tainous areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the usage temperature, it is advisable to mix
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions shown
on the container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the fuel.

FUEL TANK CAP fig. 128
To carry out refuelling, open lid A and unscrew cap B;
the cap is fitted with a device C which fastens it to the lid
so it cannot be mislaid.
In some versions, cap B have a lock and key: open lid A,
insert the ignition key then turn it anti-clockwise and un-
screw the cap itself.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure
in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the device inside the
flap as shown in fig. 128.KNOWING

When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using lo-
cally available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused. If you ac-
cidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel system emptied in ad-
dition to the tank.

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 de-
vices are used for reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided). 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 supply system.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral to the exhaust system, that physically traps particu-
lates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines.
It is needed to eliminate almost all particulates in compli-
ance with current/future legislation.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit
records a set of data (e.g. travel time, type of route, tem-
peratures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much par-
ticulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be re-
generated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning the car-
bon particles.
The regeneration procedure is handled automatically by
the engine control unit according to the filter conditions
and vehicle use conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a limited in-
crease in the engine speed, activation of the fan, a limited
increase in fumes and high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle perfor-
mance or damage the environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to the “Warn-
ing lights and messages” section.
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-
sions/markets where required) reaches
high temperatures during normal operation.
Therefore do not therefore park the vehicle on in-
flammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine nee-
dles, etc.): fire hazard.
WARNING
The catalytic converter also reaches high
temperatures during normal operation.
Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep slope:
this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the event of sud-
den braking, collisions and high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with three an-
chor points and a reel.SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 129
The belt should be worn keeping the torso straight and
rested against the back of the seat.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it in-
to the buckle B, until the locking click is heard.
If the seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then
pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body
of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of move-
ment.

IMPORTANT When the red band next to the backrest
folding levers fig. 131 disappears, it means the backrest is
properly secured. If you can still see the red band, the back-
rest is not securely fastened. When returning the backrest
to its normal position, make sure it is correctly fastened
and you hear the lock click.
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back to their normal
position, make sure the seat belts are positioned so they
are ready to use.KNOWING

Remember that, in the event of a violent
collision, back seat passengers not wearing
seat belts represent a serious danger not only to
themselves but also to the front seat passengers.
WARNING
Ensure that the backrest is properly se-
cured on both sides so that it does not fly
forwards in the event of sharp braking and injure
passengers.
WARNING
SBR SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
The car is fitted with the SBR system (Seat Belt Reminder),
consisting of a warning sound which, together with the
warning light
the driver and front passenger that their seat belt is not
fastened.
For permanent deactivation, contact a Fiat Dealership.
With a digital display, the SBR system can be reactivated
only at a Fiat Dealership.
With a multifunction display, the SBR system can also be
re-enabled through the setup menu.
