GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR121
1
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on the
road if devices have been fitted which modify the features
of the car. This may also invalidate the warranty if faults
occur that are either directly or indirectly related to the
installation of these devices. Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.
shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation
of accessories either not supplied or not recommended
by Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not installed in
compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES
Radio sets (e.g.: e-tacs mobile phones, HAM radio systems
and the like) should not be used inside the car unless a
separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of such devices inside the passenger
compartment (without a separate aerial), may cause the
electrical systems serving the car to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers.
In addition, the transmission and reception of these de-
vices may be affected by the shielding effect of the car
body.
With regards to the use of EC-approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), adhere strictly to the instructions
for use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number (R.O.N.)
no 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.

check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
check cleanness of bonnet and boot locks and linkage
cleanness and lubrication;
visually inspect the condition of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply
- brakes) rubber elements (gaiters – hoses - bushes
etc.);check battery charge and fluid level (electrolyte); (see
“Battery - Charge and electrolyte level check” in this
chapter);
visually inspect the condition of auxiliary drivebelts;
check and if necessary replace the pollen filter; in par-

into the passenger compartment is detected;
check the air filter and replace, if required.
