TRANSCEIVERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs
mobile phones, HAM radio systems and
the like) shall not be used inside the car
unless a separate aerial is mounted on the
roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which,
am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment,
may cause elec-
trical systems equipping the car to mal-
function. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS),
strictly comply with
the instructions for use provided by the
mobile phone’s manufacturer.
ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a per-
manent electric supply (alarm, satellite an-
titheft system, etc.) or accessories that in
any case burden the electric supply,
con-
tact Fiat Dealership,
whose qualified
perso nnel, beside s sugge sting the most suitable devices belonging to Linea access-
ories Fiat, will also evaluate the overall elect-
ric absorption,
checking whether the car’s
electric system is able to withstand the
load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
Be very careful when fitting
non-standard additional
spoilers , light alloy wheels or wheel
cups: they could reduce brake
venti-
lation and consequently brake effi-
ciency in the case of repeated, violent
braking or on long downhill roads.
Make sure that nothing obstructs the
pedal stroke (mats, etc.)
WARNING
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICE INSTALLATION
Electrical and electronic devices installed
after buying the car by after-market ser-
vice must carry the following label:
auth-
orises the installation of transceiving dev-
ices provided that they are installed accord-
ing to rules of good engineering practice
respecting the manufacturer’s indications
by a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow
the car on the road in the event of
as-
sembly of devices which imply modifica-
tions to the features of the car. This may
also cause lapse of warranty in relation to
faults caused by the change or either di-
rectly or indirectly related to it.
shall
not be liable for damage caused by the
installation of accessories either not sup-
plied or recommended by
and/or installed
in compliance with the provided instruc-
tions.

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be noted:
park the car in covered, dry and if pos-
sible well-ventilated premises;
engage a gear;
check that the handbrake is not en-
gaged;
disconnect the negative battery termi-
nal and check battery charge (see para-
graph “Charge level check”
in chapter
“Maintenance and care”). Repeat this
check once every three months dur-
ing storage. Recharge the battery if nec-
essary (see paragraph “If the battery is
flat” in chapter “In an emergency”);
clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able;
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
slightly open the windows;
cover the car with a fabric or perfo-
rated plastic terrapin. Do not use com-
pact plastic sheets which do
not allow
humidity to evaporate from the surface
of the car;
inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check it at
intervals;
if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electric system, check its charge
every month (see paragraph “Charge
level check” in chapter “Maintenance
and care”);
recharge the battery if necessary (see
paragraph “If the battery is flat” in chap-
ter “In an emergency”);
do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the car alarm with the remote control.

The total intake of these systems (facto-
ry and after-market) must be less than 0.6
mA x Ah (of the battery) as shown in the
following table:
Battery Maximum
permissible

consumption
40 Ah 24 mA
50 Ah 30 mA
60 Ah 36 mA
If after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require per-
manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-
tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the
car’s electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more power-
ful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing en-
ergy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and length-
en its life, observe the following indica-
tions:
when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
switch off all lights inside the car: the
car is however equipped with a system
which switches all internal lights off au-
tomatically;
do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for
a long time when the engine is not run-
ning;
before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
make sure that battery terminals are al-
ways be perfectly tight.
Always wear the proper pro-
tective eyewear when work-
ing on the battery or near it.
