ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European specification
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to switch on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel for
motor vehicles in compliance with the European
specification EN590. The use of other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond

and wait for the
and
warning lights
to switch off (diesel versions); turn the ignition
key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine
starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIESIf, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They will calculate the overall electrical
requirement and check that the car’s electrical
system can support the required load.

REV COUNTER
The rev counter fig. 17 shows the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
On diesel versions, the end of scale for the rev
counter is 6000 rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control
system gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the
engine is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual loss
of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may
indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the engine
speed. This behaviour is standard as it may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the
climate control system or the fan. It should not be
considered as a fault. In these cases, a slow change
in revs is used to protect the battery charge.FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the
tank.
Warning light A fig. 18 comes on to indicate that
approximately 8-10 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Etank emptyFtank full (see the instructions provided in
paragraph "Refuelling the car" in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty to
prevent damaging the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and
warning light A will flash to indicate a fault in the
system. If this is the case, go to the Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
