in this case, optimal engine performance is not guaranteed.
(*) If a pure alternative product is adopted, the use percentage is: 50% water, 50% pure engine coolant. If the vehicle is used in particularly cold weather conditions,
use of a mixture of 60% engine coolant and 40% demineralised water is recommended.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption value given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, vehicle load, presence of roof racks and other situations that
adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured. The fuel
consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS
LIFE
(where provided)
FCA has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-compatible". To grant customers the best possible service in
terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of
their life, FCA is offering its customers the chance to hand over their vehicle at the end of its life without incurring any additional
costs. The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over, the last keeper or owner should not incur any
expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships if you are purchasing another
vehicle or a FCA-authorised collection and scrapping center. These centers have been carefully chosen to offer high quality
service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.

CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
57) 58)
Observe the following precautions to
ensure the system is fully operational:
the display lens should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects
which could damage its surface; use a
soft, dry anti-static cloth to clean and
do not press;
never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the display lens;
prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
Look at the screen only when it is
necessary and safe. If you need to look
at the screen for a long time, pull over
to a safe place so as not to be
distracted while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in
the event of a fault. Otherwise the
system might be damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the system repaired.
WARNING
220)Follow the safety rules below:
otherwise serious injuries may occur to the
occupants or the system may be
damaged.
221)If the volume is too loud this can be
dangerous. Adjust the volume so that you
can still hear background noises (e.g.
horns, ambulances, police vehicles, etc.).
IMPORTANT
57)Only clean the front panel and the
display lens with a soft, clean, dry,
anti-static cloth. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface. Never
use alcohol, petrols and derivatives.
58)Do not use the display as a base for
supports with suction pads or adhesives for
external navigators or smartphones or
similar devices.
