TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The car may be equipped with a tyre pressure monitor-
ing system. This system comprises a radio frequency trans-
mitter fitted to each wheel (on the rim inside the tyre),
which is able to send information on the pressure of each
tyre to the control unit.

CONTENTS
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g. in-
stallaing an anti-theft device). This could badly af-
fect performance and safety, invalidate the war-
ranty and also result in the non-compliance of the
car with regulations.
WARNING
Take the greatest of care when checking
or topping up the tyre pressures. If the
pressure is too high, road hold is compromised,
there is more demand on the suspension and
wheels, and the tyres wear abnormally.
WARNING
Tyre pressure should be checked when the
tyres are rested and cold; if, for whatever
reason, you check the pressure when the tyres are
hot, do not reduce the pressure even if it is high-
er than the recommended value, but check again
when the tyres are cold.
WARNING
Before carrying out any maintenance op-
eration, switch off the engine and remove
the ignition key to activate the steering lock. This
is particularly important if the vehicle’s wheels are
raised from the ground. If this is not possible (for
example if the key needs to be turned to MAR or
the engine must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS
SYSTEM
The fault indications are not stored and will therefore not
be displayed after the engine has been switched off and
then on again. If the fault conditions persist, the control
unit will send the relative indications to the instrument
panel only after the vehicle has been in motion for a short
time.
WARNING Particularly strong radio frequency interference
may cause the TPMS system to function incorrectly. This
condition is indicated to the driver by a message on the dis-
play. The warning message will go off automatically as soon
as the interference stops disturbing the system.

CONTENTS
The presence of TPMS does not exoner-
ate the driver from regularly checking the
pressure of the tyres and the spare wheel (see
“Wheels” in the “Maintenance and care” section).
WARNING
The TPMS is not able to warn you of sud-
den tyre pressure losses (for example when
a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the car, braking
with care and avoiding sharp steering actions.
WARNING
Replacing the normal tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires an inspection
of the TPMS, which should be carried out only
by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The TPMS requires the use of specific
equipment. Contact a Fiat Dealership to
find out which accessories are compatible with the
system (wheels, hub caps etc.). Using other ac-
cessories may hinder the normal operation of the
system.
WARNING
Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The TPMS
system may temporarily indicate insufficient pres-
sure. In this case, check the tyre pressures with the
tyres cold and, if necessary, pump them up.

CONTENTS
If the vehicle is fitted with TPMS, tyre and
wheel fitting/removal operations require
specific precautions. To avoid damaging the sen-
sors or fitting them incorrectly, tyre and wheel fit-
ting/removal operations should be carried out on-
ly by specialists. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Strong radio-frequency interference could
hinder the regular operation of the TPMS
system. This condition will be indicated by a mes-
sage on the multfunction display (where provided).
The warning message will go off automatically
as soon as the interference ceases to disturb the
system.
WARNING
If the vehicle is fitted with TPMS, when a
tyre is removed, it is advisable to replace
the rubber gasket for the valve. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, watch out for obstacles that may be
above or under the sensors.
❒Sometimes, objects placed close to the car are not de-
tected and could therefore cause damage to the car or
be damaged themselves.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by dirt,
snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ultrasound
systems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic ham-
mers) near the car.

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.
