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.
VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS /
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 and available as after-sales must carry the following label
.
Fiat 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 authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that involve modifications to the
features of the vehicle. This may also cause lapse of the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change or either directly or
indirectly related to it.
Fiat shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Fiat and/or
not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Request for additional remote
controls
The system can recognise up to 8 keys
with incorporated remote control.
Should a new remote control be
necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership
and be ready to present the CODE
card, a personal identity document and
the vehicle ownership documents.
Unlocking the load compartment
from inside the vehicle (Cargo
versions)
Pressing button A fig. 9 unlocks the
load compartment (rear swing
doors/tailgate and sliding side doors)
from inside the vehicle. If the LED is on,
the loading area is locked.DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
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.
Activating the device
The system is automatically enabled on
all the doors by pressing button
twice on the key with remote control.
The direction indicators flash twice to
let you know that the device is active.If one or more of the doors is not
perfectly shut, the dead lock device 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 device
The system is disabled automatically on
every door when:
unlocking the doors;
by turning the ignition key to the
MAR position.

WARNING
1)Press button B only with the key away
from your body, specifically from your eyes
and from objects which could get
damaged (e.g. your clothes). Do not leave
the key unattended to prevent people,
especially children, from inadvertently
pressing the button.
2)Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before
engaging the system check that there is no
one left inside.
3)If the remote control battery is flat, the
system can only be turned on by inserting
the metal key in the door lock: in this case,
the device remains active for the rear
doors only.

obligatory. Daytime running lights cannot
replace dipped beam headlights when
driving at night or through tunnels. The use
of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which
you are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.

IMPORTANT The air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster, depending on the selected
mode. It is not advisable to switch the
internal air recirculation on when it is
rainy/cold or the windows might steam
up, especially if the climate control
system is not turned on.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM (cooling)

turn knob C to;
press buttonsand E (button LEDs
on).
Adjusting cooling
Proceed as follows:
turn off internal air recirculation by
pressing button E (button LED off);
turn knob A rightwards to increase
the temperature;
turn knob B leftwards to reduce the
fan speed.ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)

least at the first speed level.
The additional heater turns off
automatically after the required comfort
conditions are achieved.

if the battery voltage is too low.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Have the
system inspected at a Fiat Dealership
before the summer.
WARNING
2)The air conditioning system uses
refrigerant R134a or R1234yf compatible
with the current regulations in the countries
where the vehicle is marketed. When
charging, only use the gas indicated on the
dedicated plate in the engine compartment
. The use of other coolants affects the
efficiency and condition of the system. The
lubricant used for the compressor is also
strictly linked to the type of cooling gas,
please refer to a Fiat Dealership.

The electric windows are fitted with a
security system (where provided) that
can detect the presence of an obstacle
whilst the window is closing; when
this happens, the system kicks in and
the movement of the glass is
immediately reversed.
IMPORTANT In the event that the
anti-crushing function is activated 5
times in only 1 minute, the system will
automatically enter the "recovery" mode
(self-protection). This condition is
apparent from the window closing in
stages.
If this occurs, restore the system as
follows:
open the windows.
If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation
automatically.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key at
STOP or removed, the electric windows
remain activated for about two minutes
and are deactivated as soon as a
