READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLINGPetrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage
fundamental components of the supply system.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
Diesel engines: refuel only 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.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual gearbox (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 or press the ignition device button; release the key or the button
as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual gearbox (diesel 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 MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off. Bring the ignition
key to AVV or press the ignition device button; release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with automatic transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking) or N (Neutral),
depress the brake pedal, without pressing the accelerator pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV or press the ignition device button; release
the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a 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), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental
friendliness and low running costs unchanged in time.

REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
"Capless Fuel" is a device at the
opening for the fuel tank which opens
and recloses automatically when the
fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.
The "Capless Fuel" device is provided
with an inhibitor which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
unlock flap A fig. 110 by pressing onthe specified point and then open it;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
at the end of refuelling, before
removing the dispenser, wait for at least
10 seconds in order for the fuel to flow
inside the tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap A.
The flap is provided with a dust cover
gaiter B which prevents deposits of
impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.
Emergency refuelling
Proceed as follows:
open the boot and take adaptor C
fig. 111, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap A fig. 110, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adaptor
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the boot.
WARNING
133)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
134)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
135)Do not use a mobile phone near the
