2017 FIAT FULLBACK battery

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.
INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
Before fitting any accessories, please consult your authorised Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnosis connector for checking and servicing the electronic control system. Do
not connect a device other than a diagnosis tool for inspections and service to this connector. Otherwise, the battery could be
discharged, the electronic devices of the vehicle could malfunction, or other unexpected problems could result. In addition,
malfunctions caused by connecting a device other than a diagnosis tool may not be covered under warranty.
The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your country,
and in accordance with the guidelines and warnings contained within the documents accompanying this vehicle. Only FCA Italy
S.p.A. approved accessories should be fitted to your vehicle.
Improper installation of electrical parts could cause fire, please refer to the Modification/ alteration to the electrical or fuel
systems section within this owner’s manual.
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle without an external antenna may cause electrical system interference,
which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifications must not be used. Refer to the “Specifications” section for information
regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
Do not fail to read the accessories manuals prior to the installation of accessories, parts or other modifications to the vehicle!
IMPORTANT POINTS!
Due to a large number of accessories and replacement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible,
not only for FCA Italy S.p.A. but also an authorised Fiat Dealership, to check whether the attachment or installation of such
parts affects the overall safety of your vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorised, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through
the execution of the part in an officially approved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the
attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicles has not
been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maximum safety can only be
ensured with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by an authorised Fiat Dealership (replacement with original FCA
Italy S.p.A. spare parts). The same also pertains to modifications of vehicles with respect to the production specifications. For
safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than those that follow the recommendations of an authorised Fiat
Dealership.

system may not operate properly or
may be unstable.
When there is equipment nearby that
emits strong radio waves, such as: a
power station, a radio/TV broadcasting
station or an airport.
The keyless operation system is
carried together with a communications
device such as a cellular phone or radio

When the keyless operation key is
set down in an area with strong radio
waves or noise. In such cases, use the
emergency key. Refer to “To
lock/unlock without using the keyless
operation function”.
NOTE Because the keyless operation
key receives signals in order to
communicate with the transmitters in
the vehicle, the battery continually
wears down regardless of keyless
operation key use. The battery life is
1 to 2 years, depending on usage
conditions. When the battery wears out,
replace the battery according to the
description in this manual or have it
replaced a Fiat Dealership. Refer to
“Procedure for replacing the key
battery”.
NOTE Because the keyless operation
key continually receives signals, strong
radio wave reception could affect
battery wear. Do not leave the key near
a TV, personal computer, or other
electronic device.
