READ THIS CAREFULLYREFUELLINGPetrol 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.For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the car" 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 car" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. 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 car" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle 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 vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental
friendliness and low running costs unchanged in time.

PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 95

IMPORTANT Never introduce leaded
petrol to the tank, even in small
amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES

Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
LPG ENGINES
The gas filler is located next to the
petrol filler cap. It has a check valve,
located in the filler body itself.
To access the LPG filler, open the
access flap A fig. 113and undo the cap

Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:
switch off the engine;
engage the electric parking brake;
put the ignition device in the STOP
