EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board Diagnostic)
is a diagnosis system installed on the ECUs, which
detects and reports possible malfunctions in the
electronic systems that could worsen emissions.
The goal of the system is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒ indicate an increase in emissions due to vehicle
malfunction;
❒ indicate the need to replace components which
have deteriorated.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the warning
light
on the instrument panel (together with
relevant message on the display), when these
components are damaged; it can also report any
system malfunctions (see "Warning lights and
messages" chapter).
Note The car also has a connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the
electronic control units together with a series of
specific parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After an operation at the Fiat
Dealership, aimed at solving malfunctions linked to
the EOBD system, some bench tests should be
made, along with road tests if necessary, for a
complete check of the system. The latter may also
require the car to cover a long distance.
WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be equipped with a storage
compartment on the dashboard.
The radio must be installed in the place occupied by
the central storage compartment A fig. 90, where
you will find the wiring.
Press on the retaining devices under the central
storage compartment to extract the compartment.
WARNING
For connection to the radio system
set-up, contact a Fiat Dealership
to prevent any problem that could impair car
safety.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE
OWNERIf after buying the car, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case burden the electric supply, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides
suggesting the most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate the overall
electric consumption, checking whether the car's
electrical system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
WARNING
Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard
wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of
the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp,
repeated braking or on long descents. Make
sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke
(mats, etc .) INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the car in the context of after-sales service must
carry the label (see fig. 91):
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. authorises the
installation of transceiver devices on condition that
such installations are carried out in a workmanlike
fashion, following the manufacturer’s instructions, at
a specialised centre.
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 Group Automobiles S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation of accessories
either not supplied or recommended by Fiat Group
Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not installed in
compliance with the provided instructions.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones,
CB radios 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.
"DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEMThe car is equipped with an electrically controlled
power steering system called “Dualdrive”, working
only with the ignition key at MAR-ON and the
engine running, that customises steering force
according to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly,
full power steering functionality can be achieved after
1-2 seconds.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
