WARNING
167)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine.
DO NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine
make sure the system is not dismantled:
failure to comply with this precaution
may cause serious injuries.
168)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous and may be fatal. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colourless and
odourless gas which, if inhaled, may cause
fainting and poisoning.
169)The exhaust system can reach high
temperatures and cause a fire if the vehicle
is parked on flammable material. Dry grass
or leaves can also catch fire if they come
into contact with the exhaust system.
Do not park or use the vehicle in a place in
which the exhaust system might come
into contact with flammable material.
WARNING
65)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Fiat Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations
and small servicing interventions personally
on the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.66)Incorrect maintenance of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
operating faults immediately checked by a
Fiat Dealership.
67)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
optimised for protecting its performance
and duration, and to extend servicing
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may
damage the engine, the gearbox or the
climate control system. This damage is not
covered by the vehicle’s warranty. If, due
to malfunction of a component, washing is
needed, only use the fluid specific for
that procedure.
68)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil in the block is extremely harmful for
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
69)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.
70)The air conditioning system contains
high-pressure coolant: to prevent damage
to people or the system, any topping up
with fuel or repairs that involves
disconnection of the pipes must be carried
out by a Fiat Dealership.71)Vehicles equipped with a catalytic
converter must be exclusively supplied with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially
if it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a
Fiat Dealership. Prolonged and faulty
operation of the engine may cause
overheating of the catalytic converter and,
as a consequence, possible damage to
it and the vehicle.
72)Using a gearbox fluid different from the
prescribed one may compromise
gearshifting quality and/or cause
anomalous vibration of the gearbox.

In addition, the data can be saved on
an USB device or through theApp
Uconnect™LIVE; the data analysis
can be made on your personal
computer thanks to theeco:Drive™
desktop application, available on
www.fiat.it or www.DriveUconnect.eu.
Evaluation of the driving style is
dependent on four indices that monitor
the following parameters:
❒Acceleration
❒Deceleration
❒Gearbox
❒SpeedDisplay of the
eco:Drive™Press theeco:Drive™button to use
the function
A screen will be displayed on the radio,
showing the 4 indices described above.
These indices are grey until the system
has enough data to evaluate the driving
style.
Once sufficient data is available, the
indices will have 5 colours depending
on the evaluation: dark green (very
good), light green, yellow, orange and
red (very bad).
"Current route index" refers to the entire
value calculated in real time based on
the average of the described indices. It
represents eco-friendliness of the
driving style: from 0 (low) to 100 (high).In the event of extended inactivity the
display will show the average of the
indices until that moment (the "Average
index"), then the indices will be
coloured again in real time as soon as
the vehicle is restarted.
To check the data average of previous
route (the "route" starts when the
ignition key is turned to MAR and stops
when it is turned to STOP), select the
"Previous route" button.
The details of the previous trip can also
be displayed by pressing the "Details"
button, in which journey duration (time
and mileage) and average speed will be
reported.
Trip data storage and
transferThe trip data can be stored in the
system memory and transferred
through a properly configured USB
memory stick or theApp Uconnect™
LIVE. This allows you to display the
history of the collected data, showing
the complete analysis of the trip data
and of your driving style.
Further information is available at
www.DriveUconnect.eu.IMPORTANT Do not remove the USB
memory stick nor unpair the
smartphone and theApp Uconnect™
LIVEbefore the system has
downloaded the data, since these
could be lost. During the transfer of
data to the devices, messages may
appear on the radio display to guide the
user correctly through the operation;
follow these instructions. These
messages are only displayed with the
ignition key at STOP and when a delay
in the system switching off is set. The
data are automatically transferred to the
devices when the engine is switched
off. The data transferred are deleted
from the system memory. You can
choose to store the trip data or not, by
pressing the "Settings" button and by
setting the storage activation and
the USB or Cloud transfer mode.
When the USB memory stick is full, the
dedicated messages are shown on
the radio display.
When theeco:Drive™data are not
transferred to the USB memory stick for
a long time, the internal memory of the
Uconnect™LIVEsystem may be
full. Follow the instructions given by the
messages on the radio display.
