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.

with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lighted cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active until

point and the car speed must not exceed 80
km/h.The space-saver wheel has an orange
sticker that summarises the main cautions for
use and limitations. Never remove or cover
the sticker.The following information is

Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long life for the car under the best conditions. For this reason, Fiat has planned a series of checks and services at fixed distance intervals and, forversions/markets, where provided, at fixed timeintervals, as described in the Scheduled ServicingPlan. Regardless of the above, it is always necessary to carefully follow the instructions in the ScheduledServicing Plan (e.g. periodically check level of liquids,tyre pressure, etc.). Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Fiat Dealerships at fixed time or kilometres/miles intervals. If, duringeach operation, in addition to the ones scheduled,the need arises for further replacements or repairs,these may be carried out only with your explicit
agreement. If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service operation andthe next should be reduced. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The Scheduled Servicing services are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried outmay invalidate the warranty. It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership of any small operating irregularities without waiting for thefollowing servicing. For versions equipped with specific supply (e.g. LPG) and/or trim level, in addition to what is describedin the following Scheduled Servicing Plan, refer to therelevant additional items in the dedicatedsupplements.
