VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel the vehicle with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the European
specification EN228.
Diesel engines: only refuel the vehicle with diesel fuel for 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.
Refuelling with methane: refuel only with methane for motor vehicles. 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 transmission (petrol engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; put the gear lever in neutral; fully
depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual transmission (Diesel engines): turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
andwarning lights to switch
off. Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with Comfort-matic transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral).
Then depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with Dualogic™transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral). Then
depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
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 purchasing the vehicle, you want to install accessories that require electric power (with the risk that they gradually drain the battery),
contact the Fiat Dealership, which will evaluate the overall electrical consumption and make sure that the electrical system in the vehicle
can handle 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.

DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device prevents the opening
of the doors from inside the passenger
compartment if there has been a break
in attempt (e.g. a window has been
broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers
the best possible protection against
break in attempts. We recommend
engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Turning the device on
The system is automatically enabled on
all the doors by pressing button
twice on the key with remote control.
The direction indicators flash twice to
let you know that the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not
perfectly shut, the dead lock device will
not be activated, thus preventing a
person getting into the vehicle through
the open door and, on shutting, it,
remaining stuck inside the passenger
compartment.
Turning the device off
The system is disabled automatically on
every door when:
unlocking the doors;
by turning the ignition key to the
MAR position.

WARNING
1)Button B should only be pressed when
the key is away from the body, in particular
from the eyes and from objects that can
be spoilt (e.g. clothes). Do not leave the
key unattended to avoid the button being
accidentally pressed while it is being
handled, e.g. by a child.2)Once the safe lock system is engaged it
is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the
system please therefore check that there is
no one left on board.
3)If the remote control battery is flat, the
system can only be turned on by inserting
the metal key in the door lock: in this case,
the device remains active for the rear
doors only.
WARNING
1)Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of them
either in the correct containers as specified
by law or by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with their
disposal.
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 4:
STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can operate;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that requires
the ignition key to be turned back
to STOP if the engine will not start,
before the starting operation can be
repeated.

WARNING
4)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
5)Always remove the key when you leave
your vehicle to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked
uphill or reverse gear if the vehicle is
parked downhill. Never leave children
unattended in the vehicle.
6)Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This also applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed.7)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 badly affect performance and safety,
cause the lapse of warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the vehicle with
type approval requirements.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when
the key is removed from the ignition
device.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna
built into the ignition device. The
signal, which changes each time the
engine is started, is the “password”,
by means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
