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.
K
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
"(personal safety)#(protecting the environ-
ment)!(risk of serious damage to the vehicle).

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine immobiliser system which in-
creases protection against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when the ignition key is ex-
tracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during starting by an antenna built into
the starting device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each starting and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and enable starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recog-
nition code to the engine management control unit to de-
activate the immobiliser.
The code is only sent if the Fiat CODE system control unit
has recognised the code transmitted by the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine man-
agement control unit.
If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised,
warning light
Ylights up in the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it
is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with
the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Service Network if you still can-
not start the engine.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or on
some of the components of your vehicle. These labels bear
symbols that draw your attention to the precautions re-
quired when handling the component in question.
A plate summarising these symbols can be found under the
engine bonnet.

THE KEYS
CODE CARD fig. 2
(for versions/markets where provided)
The vehicle is delivered with duplicate ignition keys and
with the CODE card, which bears the following:
A the electronic code;
B the mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Service
Network when ordering duplicate keys.
WARNING In order to ensure complete efficiency of the
electronic devices inside the keys, they should never be
exposed to direct sunlight.
Warning light
Ycomes on when driving
❒If the warning lightYcomes on, this means that the
system is running a self-diagnosis (owing to a voltage
drop, for example).
❒If the warning lightYstays on, contact the Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is subjected to
sharp knocks.
F0V0104mfig. 2
All the keys and the CODE card must be
handed over to the new owner when selling
the vehicle.
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.

Once the dead lock system is engaged it is
impossible to open the doors from inside
the vehicle. Before engaging the system please
therefore check that there is no one left on board.
WARNING
If the remote control battery is flat, the
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.

matically displayed, when the ignition key is at MAR, from
2,000 km (or the equivalent in miles) and reappears every
200 km (or the equivalent in miles). Below 200 km the
reminders become more frequent. The indication will ap-
pear in kilometres or miles depending on the measure-
ment unit settings. When the next scheduled service is ap-
proaching, the message „Service” will appear on the dis-
play, followed by the number of kilometres or miles left,
when the key is turned to MAR. Go to the Fiat Service
Network, where the „Planned Maintenance Programme”
operations will be performed and the message will be re-
set.

Range
Shows the approximate distance the vehicle can travel with
the amount of fuel left in the tank. The display will show
the reading “----” when the following events take place:
– range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a long
time.
WARNING The range can be affected by several factors:
driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting and dri-
ving” section), type of route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pres-
sures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above
into account.
Distance travelled
Shows the distance covered since the start of the new jour-
ney.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since
the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
Shows the constantly updated fuel consumption. The read-
ing “----” appears on the display if the vehicle is parked with
the engine running.
Average speed
Shows the average speed of the vehicle by using the over-
all time elapsed since the start of a new journey.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The Trip computer is used to display information on ve-
hicle operation when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips, called
“Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the vehicle’s „com-
plete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally independent man-
ner. Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used to
display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be
reset.
