READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Petrol 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.
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, put the gear in neutral, fully
depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has
started.
Versions with manual gearbox (diesel engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged, put the gear in neutral, fully
depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
mwarning
lights to switch off. Turn the ignition key to AVV and finally release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with automatic transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking) or N
(Neutral), fully depress the brake pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV.
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 electric system of the vehicle 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.
