INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the car in the context of after-sales service must carry
the following label:
Fiat Group Automobiles 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 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 instructions provided.TRANSCEIVERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones,
CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without a separate aerial) may
cause the vehicle electrical systems to malfunction. This
could compromise safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers’ health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be 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.
