WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power assisted steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the brake
pedal and more effort is required on the
steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.When
towing the car, it is compulsor y to respect
specific highway code regulations relating to
the tow hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not star t the engine while towing
the car.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the car for short
distances using an appropriate device
in accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transporting via a
breakdown vehicle.Tow hooks MUST NOT be
used to tow vehicles off the road or where there
are obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one towing,
the other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.
WARNING
Do not use tow hooks for securing the
vehicle on ships.

ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after
the engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked
on level ground.
For 1.2 8V 69 HP and 1.3 16V MultiJet
versionsfig. 152 fig. 153
Remove the engine oil dipstick B, clean it with a
cloth that does not leave any trace and reinsert it.
Extract the engine oil dipstick again and check that
the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick.
The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN mark, add oil
through the filler A until it reaches the MAX mark.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX
mark.
For 0.9 TwinAir 65 HP fig. 150 and 0.9 TwinAir
85 HP versions fig. 151
The engine oil dipstick B is integral with plug A.
Loosen the plug, clean the dipstick with a cloth that
does not leave traces, reinsert the dipstick and
re-tighten the plug. Extract the plug again and check
that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is
approximately 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the vehicle, the
engine is bedding in, therefore the engine oil
consumption may settle down only after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after switching it off before checking the level.
Do not add oil with characteristics that
are different from those of the oil
currently in the engine.Used engine oil and filter contain harmful
substances for the environment .To change
the oil and filters, we advise you to
contact a Fiat Dealership.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFEFiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement
of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly compatible with the ecosystem.
To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to
European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Fiat is offering their customers the
opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not
incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European
Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of
charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the
vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Dealerships or
Fiat-authorised collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high
quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the
surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat and Fiat
Commercial Vehicle Dealership or by calling the toll-free number 00800 3428 0000 or on the Fiat website.

SYSTEM RESET function
This function is used to restore all settings to the
factory values.
The options are:
❒NO: no restore intervention;
❒YES: the default parameters will be restored.
During this operation, the text “Resetting” appears
on the display. At the end of the operation, the
source does not change and the previous situation
will be displayed.
PHONE SET-UP
If a hands-free kit is installed on the car, when there
is an incoming phone call the radio audio will be
connected to the telephone output. The incoming
telephone sound always arrives at a fixed volume, but
it can be adjusted during the conversation using the
ON/OFF button/knob.
The fixed telephone audio volume can be adjusted
using the "SPEECH VOLUME" function in the Menu.
The text “PHONE” appears on the display during the
telephone audio deactivation.ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft protection
system based on the exchange of information
between the radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety and prevents
the secret code from being entered each time the
radio power supply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the radio will
start to function, whereas if the comparison codes
are not the same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the device will ask the
user to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the code is
requested, the display will show "Radio code" for
about 2 seconds followed by four dashes "----".
The code is made up of four numbers from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding button of the pre-selected stations
(from 1 to 6). Enter the other code digits in the same
way.
If the four digits are not entered within 20 seconds,
the display will show "Enter code----".Ifthis
occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds),
the car radio will start to work.
