PREPARATION TO INSTALL A
PORTABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEMOn cars equipped with the Blue&Me
TM
system, there
may be (on request) the preparation for installing
the Blue&Me
TM
TomTom
®
portable navigation
system, available from Lineaccessori Fiat.
Install the portable navigation system by fitting the
specific mount in the housing shown in fig. 80.
When the navigation system is not used it is
recommended to remove the specific mount from its
seat to avoid noise and/or vibrations.
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICESElectrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the car in the context of after-sales service must
carry the label (see fig. 81).
Fiat S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers
provided that installation is carried out at a
specialised centre, in a workmanlike fashion and in
compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on
the road if devices have been installed which modify
the features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused
by the change either directly or indirectly related
to it.
FIAT S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by
the installation of accessories either not supplied
or recommended by FIAT S.p.A. and not installed in
compliance with the provided instructions.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones,
CB radios, amateur radio, etc.) cannot be used
inside the car unless a separate aerial is mounted
externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the car in
addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be negatively affected by the shielding
effect of the car body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage instructions provided
by the mobile phone manufacturer.
REFUELLING THE CARVersions equipped with "Smart Fuel" system are
provided with an inhibiter which prevents refuelling
with incorrect fuel.
Accidental refuelling with non-compliant fuels (e.g.
petrol in Diesel engines) can only occur in the case
of versions equipped with fuel tank cap. Before
refuelling, make sure that the fuel type is correct.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number
(R.O.N.) no lower than 95. In order to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even
in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to
air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage
the catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens 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 fuel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the current
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel
using locally available diesel. In this case, it is also
advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications.The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, due to the damage caused. If you
accidentally refuel with another type of fuel, do
not start the engine, and drain the tank. If the
engine has been run, even for only a very short
time, you will need to have the entire fuel system
emptied in addition to the tank.
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top-ups
could cause faults in the fuel supply system.REFUELLING PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH "SMART FUEL" SYSTEM
"Smart Fuel" is a device integrated with the end of
the fuel filler pipe which opens and recloses
automatically when the fuel delivery gun is
introduced/removed. "Smart Fuel" is provided with
an inhibiter which prevents refuelling with incorrect
fuel.
The refuelling procedure described below is
illustrated on label B fig. 82, which is applied inside
the fuel flap. The label also indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL=petrol, DIESEL=diesel fuel).
To refuel proceed as follows:
❒open the flap A fig. 82 pulling it outwards;
❒introduce the dispenser in the filler and refuel;
❒at the end of refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds in order for
the fuel to flow inside the tank;
❒then remove the dispenser from the filler and
close flap A.
Flap A fig. 82 is provided with a dust cowl C which
prevents deposits of impurities and dust at the
end of the filler when the flap is closed.
Emergency refuelling (only for versions
equipped with "Smart Fuel")
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply circuit is
completely empty, proceed as follows to reintroduce
fuel to the tank:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
VERSIONS EQUIPPED WITH "Smart Fuel"
WARNING
Do not apply any object/plug to the end
of the filler which is not provided for
the car.The use of non-compliant objects/plugs
could cause a pressure increase inside the
tank, resulting in dangerous situations.
WARNING
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is washed
with a high pressure jet, keep it at a distance of
at least 20 cm.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors and evaporation control system
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 engine emissions: oxidising catalytic converter,
exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) and
particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a mechanical filter, fitted in the exhaust
system, which almost completely eliminates carbon
particle emissions.
WARNING
During normal service, the catalytic
converter and the diesel particulate
filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not
therefore park the car over inflammable
materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc .):
fire hazard.
