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
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of Diesel
engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to eliminate
almost all particulates in compliance with current/
future legislation.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control
unit records a set of data (e.g. travel time, type of
route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate
how much particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should
be regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by
burning the carbon particles.The regeneration procedure is controlled
automatically by the engine management control unit
according to the filter conditions and car use
conditions.
During the regeneration there may be a limited
increase in the engine idle speed, fan activation, a
limited increase in fumes and high temperatures at
the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair normal car
performance or damage the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed, see contents of
"Warning lights and messages" chapter.
WARNING
The catalytic converter and particulate
filter (DPF) reach very high
temperatures during operation.Therefore, do
not park the car on flammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles etc .) to avoid the risk
of fire.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of an impact, all
occupants must be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems, including infants and other
children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child's head is larger and
heavier in proportion to his/her body and the child's
muscular and bone structures are not fully
developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are necessary to reduce
as much as possible the risk of injuries in case of
accident, braking or sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and comfortably. As
far as the characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep children in
rearward facing restraint systems for as long as
possible (at least until 3–4 years old); this is the most
protected position in the event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child restraint device
depends on the weight of the child; there are
various types of child restraint systems and you are
advised always to choose the one that is most
suitable for the child.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view
of restraint systems, children are considered as
adults and wear seat belts normally.In Europe the characteristics of children restraint
systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing
them into five weight groups:
Group Weight groups
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kgAll restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint systems for
each weight group. These devices are recommended
having been specifically designed for Fiat cars.
