TACHOGRAPH
For tachograph operation and use, consult the owner
handbook supplied by the device manufacturer.
The tachograph must be installed on the vehicle when
the vehicle weight (with or without trailer) exceeds
3.5 tons.
IMPORTANT Anyone making changes to the
monitoring device or signal transmission system that
affects recording by the monitoring instrument,
particularly if this is done for purposes of fraud, may be
in breach of criminal or administrative state regulations.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if the vehicle is
parked for more than 5 days, it is advisable to
disconnect the negative battery terminal to maintain its
charge.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use abrasive detergents or solvents to clean the
device. To clean the outside of the device, use a damp
cloth or special products for the care of synthetic
materials.The tachograph is installed and sealed by authorised
personnel: do not try and access the device or the
supply and recording leads in any way. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the vehicle on which the
tachograph is installed to check the device regularly.
The check must be carried out at least every two years
and a test must be carried out to ensure that it is
working properly. Ensure that the data label is renewed
after every check that that the label contains the
specified data.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmission equipment (e.g.: ETACS mobile
phones, CB radio systems and so on) should not be
used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial roof-
mounted is fitted.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may, in addition to potential damage to the health of the
passengers, cause malfunctions in the vehicle electronic
systems, compromising the safety of the vehicle.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle
body.
As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is
concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the instructions
for use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer. INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the
following label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of
transceivers provided that installation is carried out at
a specialised shop, in a workmanlike fashion and in
compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic authorities may not allow the
vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that modify
vehicle specifications. This may also invalidate the
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
recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed
in compliance with the provided instructions.

temperature reaches or falls below 3 °C to warn the
driver of the possible presence of ice on the road.
The display will show the dedicated message (only for
versions with a multifunction display).

the driver that the vehicle’s range is less than 50 km.
SPEED LIMIT EXCEEDED

scheduled servicing warning and stays on until the deadline
is reached. The warning light goes off after the service has
been carried out at a Fiat Dealership or after 1000 km
have been covered at the service deadline.
DAYLIGHT FAILURE (with reconfigurable
multifunction display)
The display shows the dedicated message along with the
external light fault icon when a daylight failure is found.

DEMANDING VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of the following
conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving or in the case of long term inactivity;
the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if necessary, restore:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always efficient and well
maintained, it is advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly (approximately
every 1000 km and every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).

Lubricants
(▲)
For diesel engines, in the event of an emergency in which the original products are not available, lubricants with at least ACEA C2
performance are acceptable; however, in this case optimum engine performance is not guaranteed and the lubricants should be replaced
with recommended products as soon as possible at a Fiat Dealership.
The use of products with lower specifications than ACEA C2 could cause damage to the engine not covered by the warranty.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, ask a Fiat Dealership for the appropriate product from PETRONAS LUBRICANTS.
SAE 5W-30 grade synthetic base lubricant.
FIAT 9.55535-S1 certification.
