VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228.Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR
and wait for the
andwarning lights to switch off. Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has
started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.
USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be
intended as regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as
appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the
image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived
considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel
on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further
there is a key for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a
textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage
your vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the
vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle integrity;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a
number. That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

This security device prevents the
opening of the doors from inside the
passenger compartment if there
has been a break-in attempt (e.g. a
window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore
offers the best possible protection
against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever
the vehicle is parked and left
unattended.

will not be activated, thus preventing
a person getting into the vehicle
through the open door and, on
shutting, it, remaining stuck inside
the passenger compartment.
Deactivating the

IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can
operate;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that
requires the ignition key to be turned
back to STOP if the engine will not
start, before the starting operation
can be repeated.

STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove
the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly as
you turn the ignition key to MAR.
WARNING
4) If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a
Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
5) Always remove the key when you
leave your vehicle to prevent
someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is
parked uphill or reverse gear if the
vehicle is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the
vehicle.6) Never extract the key while the
vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will automatically lock
as soon as it is turned. This also
applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed.
7) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation
involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect
performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the
vehicle with type approval
requirements.

SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols
indicate precautions to be observed
when using this component. Under
the bonnet there is also a label
that summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the
vehicle. It is automatically
activated when the ignition key is
removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition
device. The signal, which changes
each time the engine is started,
is the “password”, by means
of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started
turning the ignition key toMAR, the
Fiat CODE system control unit
sends a recognition code to the
Powertrain Control Module to
deactivate the inhibitor.
The acknowledgement code is sent
only if the Fiat CODE system control
unit has recognised the code
transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by
the related message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, turn the key toSTOP
and then back toMAR; if the lock
continues, try with the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.
