REFUELLINGPetrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with
an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conform-
ing to the European specification EN 228.
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor vehicles
conforming to the European specification EN 590. The
use of other products or mixtures may damage the en-
gine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is en-
gaged, place the gear lever in neutral, fully depress the
clutch without depressing the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the
engine has started.Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait
until the warning lights Y(or symbol on the display)
and m go off. Then, turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL The catalytic silencer reaches high temperatures dur-
ing operation. Do not park the on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material as this constitutes
a fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows contin-
uous diagnosis of the emission-related components in
order to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electri-
cal accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the
battery), visit the Fiat Service Network. They can cal-
culate the overall electrical requirement and check that
the vehicle’s electrical system can support the required
load.
CODE card Keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should
have the electronic code from the CODE card with
you at all times.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring the ve-
hicle stays in tip-top condition and retains its safety fea-
tures, its environmental friendliness and low running
costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS… ... information, tips and important warnings on the cor-
rect use and maintenance of your vehicle over time as
well as safe driving tips. Pay special attention to the sym-
bols

❒press button A and bring the metal insert B to the open
position;
❒turn the screw C to:using a fine screwdriver;
❒take out the battery case D and replace the battery E,
respecting its polarity;
❒refit the battery case D inside the key and lock it by
turning the screw C to
Á.
Button
Qunlocks all the doors (including the tailgate, the
rear swing doors and the sliding side doors for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
Button Álocks all the doors;
Button Punlocks the boot, the rear swing doors and the
sliding side doors (depending on the version).
Unlocking the load compartment from inside the
vehicle (Cargo versions)
Pressing button A-fig. 5 unlocks the loading area (rear
swing doors/boot and sliding side doors) from inside the
vehicle. If the LED is on, the load compartment is locked.
Used batteries are harmful to the environ-
ment. You can dispose of them either in the
correct containers as specified by law or by
taking them to the Fiat Service Network, who will
deal with their disposal.
Switching the device on
The system is automatically enabled on all the doors by
pressing button
Átwice on the key with remote control.
The direction indicators flash twice to let you know that
the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not perfectly shut, the dead
lock device will not be activated, thus preventing a person
getting into the vehicle through the open door and, on
shutting, it, remaining stuck inside the passenger com-
partment.
Switching the device off
The system is disabled automatically on every door when:
❒unlocking the doors;
❒turning the ignition key to MAR.
Requesting additional remote controls
The system acknowledges up to 8 remote controls. Should
a new remote control be necessary, contact the Fiat Ser-
vice Network and be ready to present the CODE card, a
personal identity document and the vehicle ownership doc-
uments.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device prevents the opening of the doors from
inside the passenger compartment if there has been a break
in attempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the best possible
protection against break in attempts. We recommend en-
gaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unat-
tended.

system can only be turned on by inserting
the metal key in the door lock: in this case, the de-
vice remains active for the rear doors only.

REV COUNTER fig. 12
The rev counter shows the number of engine rpm.
WARNING The electronic injection control system grad-
ually 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 in the rate.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate con-
trol system or fan. In such cases, a slight increase in engine
idle speed helps to sustain the battery charge.INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type may vary ac-
cording to the version.
