REFUELLINGPetrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228.
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 motor vehicles 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 and release the key 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. Turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with automatic transmission(where present): 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 car 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 car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.

IGNITION DEVICE
OPERATION
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 4:
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked (with
key removed). Some electrical devices
(e.g. central door locking system, etc.)
are still available;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are available;
AVV: engine starting.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key to
be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.On versions with automatic
transmission (if present) the ignition key
can only be removed when the gear
lever is at P (Park).
2) 3)
STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is in the STOP position,
remove the key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
IMPORTANT If the ignition key has been
moved from the MAR to the STOP
position, the steering lock cannot
engage until the key is removed from
the ignition device.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly and
turn the key to MAR.
4) 5) 6) 7)
WARNING
2)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked by a Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
3)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the parking brake.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that
could adversely affect performance,
invalidate the warranty, cause serious
safety problems and also result in the car
not meeting type-approval requirements.
5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. On versions with
automatic transmission (where present),
bring the gear lever to P (Park) and turn the
ignition device to bring it to STOP. If the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope, chock
the wheels with wedges or stones. When
leaving the vehicle, always lock all the
doors by pressing the button on the key.
7)On versions with automatic transmission
(where present), it is advisable to put the
transmission in P, release the brake pedal
safely and then stop the engine to release
the key smoothly.

FIAT CODE
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the vehicle's doors are locked or
unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to MAR,
the Fiat Code system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognised as valid, the Fiat Code
system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Fiat Code system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, theicon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while
driving, this means that the system is
running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop). If the display persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
DOORS
LOCKING / UNLOCKING
DOORS FROM THE
INSIDE

9)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the car, let alone leave the car with the
doors unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake, the brake pedal or the
automatic transmission lever (where
present).
10)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If
the key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)If the child lock was engaged and the
previously described locking procedure
carried out, operating the internal opening
handle will not open the door: in this case,
to open the door, the outside handle must
be used. The central locking/unlocking
