READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Only refuel with automotive diesel 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
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 MAR-ON and wait for the warning lightsandto switch off; 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.
VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the
occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT 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 vehicle in the context of after-sales service must carry the following
label: FCA Italy S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised
centre, in a workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the vehicle. This
may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA Italy S.p.A. and not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally. Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the
vehicle body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer. 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 vehicle in addition
to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health. If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle
and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/Keyless Entry-N-Go system may occur.

ACC power auto-cutout function
After about 30 minutes has elapsed
with the operation mode in ACC, the
function automatically cuts out the
power for the audio system and other
electric devices that can be operated
with that position. (only that driver’s
door has closed and the selector lever
in the “P” (PARK) position).
When you open driver’s door or the
engine switch operate again, the power
is supplied again.
NOTE When ACC power supply
automatic stop, the steering wheel
can’t lock and you can’t lock and
unlock the doors by the keyless entry
key and keyless operation key.
NOTE It is possible to modify functions
as follows:
The time until the power cuts out can
be changed to about 60 minutes.
The ACC power auto-cutout function

mode in any mode other than OFF, the
operation mode ON reminder inner
buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to put the operation mode in OFF.
WARNING
6)Do not remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch while driving. The steering
wheel will be locked, causing loss of
control.
7)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
8)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.
9)Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel will lock as
soon as it is turned. This also applies to
cases in which the vehicle is towed.
10)Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations be carried out
involving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device). This could negatively
affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty, cause serious safety
problems and also result in vehicle
non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.

IMPORTANT
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the
steering.
2)Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not
running, doing so will cause the battery to
be discharged.
3)Do not turn the key to the “START”
position while the engine is running. Doing
so could damage the starter motor.
4)The indicator lamp (A) will flash orange
when there is a problem or malfunction in
the keyless operation system. Never drive if
the indicator lamp on the engine switch is
flashing orange. Immediately contact your
Fiat Dealership.
5)If the engine switch operation is not
smooth and feels like it is sticking, do not
operate the switch. Immediately contact
your Fiat Dealership.
6)When the engine is not running, put the
operation mode in OFF. Leaving the
operation mode in ON or ACC for a long
time when the engine is not running may
cause the battery to be discharged, making
it impossible to start the engine, lock and
unlock the steering wheel.7)When the battery is disconnected, the
current operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before
disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the
operation mode in OFF. Be careful if you
are not sure which operation mode the
vehicle is in when the battery is run down.
8)The operation mode cannot be changed
from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless
operation key is not detected to be in the
vehicle. Refer to “Keyless operation system:
Operating range for starting the engine and
changing the operation mode”.
9)When there is the keyless operation key
in the vehicle and the operation mode isn’t
change, the keyless operation key may
have worn out.
