VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS
WARNING
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 an Abarth Dealership,
whose personnel will check whether the vehicle’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 wheel rims 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 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.
IMPORTANT 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/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

TIPS, CONTROLS
AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
Road safety
Learn how to use the various system
functions before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system
carefully before setting off.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change
constantly while driving. Reception may
be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic
bulletins.
Care and maintenance
Care and maintenance Observe the
following precautions to ensure the
system is fully operational:
the display is sensitive to scratching,
liquids and detergents. The display
should not come into contact with
pointed or rigid objects which could
damage its surface. Do not press
on the display when cleaning it.
never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the display lens.
prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.
Anti-theft protection
The system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on
the exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has
been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
system will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will
show “Please enter Anti-Theft Code”
followed by the screen showing a
keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four
digits from 0 to 9.If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays “Incorrect Code” to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
“Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Wait for
30 minutes”. After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle radio passport
shows the system model, serial number
and secret code.
WARNING Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
In case of loss of the car radio
passport, contact the Abarth
Dealership, taking an ID document and
the car ownership documents.
Important notes
In the event of a failure, the system
should only be checked and repaired at
an Abarth Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low, the
display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.
