The vehicle should always be evacuated
after the key has been removed or turned
to the OFF position. During refuelling operations,
it is necessary to make sure that the vehicle is off
with the ignition key in the OFF position.
WARNING
For vehicles with a robotised transmission,
if the engine cuts out automatically on
a gradient, it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-) without
releasing the brake pedal. For vehicles with ro-
botised transmission, where the Hill Holder func-
tion is present, if the engine cuts out automati-
cally whilst on a hill, it is advisable to restart it
by moving the gear lever to (+) or (-) without re-
leasing the brake pedal to make the Hill Holder
function – which is only active when the engine
is running – available.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise climate comfort,
the Start&Stop system can be disabled to
allow continuous operation of the climate control
system.

INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
vehicle by aftersales must carry the following label:
FGA S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving de-
vices provided that they are installed by a specialised cen-
tre according to rules of good engineering practice and
in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING Traffic authorities may not allow the vehicle
on the road if devices are fitted that modify vehicle spec-
ifications. This may also invalidate the warranty in rela-
tion to faults caused by the change or either directly or in-
directly related to it.
FGA S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the in-
stallation of accessories either not supplied or recom-
mended by FGA S.p.A. and/or not installed in compliance
with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radiotransmitting apparatus (e.g. car mobile phones, CB
radios etc.) should not be used inside the vehicle unless
a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
❒two rear speakers (located next to the parcel shelf)
(for versions/markets where provided);
❒radio compartment;
❒aerial lead;
❒aerial.
RADIO INSTALLATION
The sound system must be installed in the space occu-
pied by the centre glove compartment where you will find
the wiring. Press tabs A-fig. 108 to remove the compart-
ment.
To connect to the existing wiring in the ve-
hicle, contact the Fiat Service Network to

REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number (R.O.N.)
no lower than 95.
WARNING An inefficient catalytic silencer leads to harm-
ful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.
WARNING Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic silencer beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thick-
ens due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel
are distributed according to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold/mountain areas). If refuelling
with diesel fuel whose specifications are not suitable for
the usage temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA
DIESEL ART additive in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive into the tank before
the fuel.
WARNING The use of similar devices inside the passen-
ger compartment (without an external aerial) may, in ad-
dition to potential damage to the health of the passengers,
cause malfunctions in the vehicle electronic systems, com-
promising the safety of the vehicle.
In addition, the transmission and reception of these de-
vices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehi-
cle body.
With regard to EC-approved mobile phones (GSM, GPRS,
UMTS), you should adhere strictly to the instructions pro-
vided by the mobile phone’s manufacturer.

REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the pump
switches off. Further top ups could cause faults in the fu-
el supply system. If using/parking the vehicle in mountainous/cold areas for
a long time, you should refuel with locally available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused. If you ac-
cidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel supply system emptied
in addition to the tank.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 109
To open
1) Open the flap A-fig. 109 by pulling it outwards, keep the
cap B still, insert the ignition key in the lock and turn it an-
ticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it. The cap has
a device C that attaches it to the flap so it cannot be lost.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the flap as illustrated
in the diagram.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided).
To close
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise
until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the
flap.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure
in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes
near to the fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep
your face away from the fuel tank open-
ing to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
It is needed to eliminate almost all carbon particles in com-
pliance with current/future legislation. During normal use
of the vehicle, the engine management control unit records
a set of data (e.g. journey time, type of route, tempera-
tures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much particu-
late has been trapped by the filter. Since the filter is a collecting system, it should be regular-
ly regenerated (cleaned) by burning the carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by
the engine management control unit according to the fil-
ter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a limited in-
crease in the engine speed, activation of the fan, a limited
increase in fumes and high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle perfor-
mance or damage the environment. If the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed, refer to the “Warning lights and mes-
sages” section.

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body
of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of move-
ment.
The reel may lock up when the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mech-
anism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the event
of sudden braking, collisions and high-speed bends.SEAT BELT S
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 110
Wear the belt keeping the torso upright and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A-fig. 110 and insert
it into buckle B until it locks into place.
If the seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then
pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
SAFETY
Never press button C-fig. 110 when trav-
elling.
WARNING
All rear seats are fitted with inertia seat belts with three
anchor points and a reel.
