frequency indicated in the plan by marking each operation with a dot or dedicated note.
Warning: simply restarting the maintenance from the start of the plan may cause the allowed interval to be exceeded for some
operations!

IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked at a
Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
161)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
162)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned.163)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
164)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it
on fire.
165)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
166)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
167)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources
of sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
168)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
169)If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to prevent it
from freezing.170)Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on or near the battery.
WARNING
58)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they
are not compatible with each other!
Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your car.
59)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
60)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already existing in
the engine.
61)PARAFLU
UPantifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPfluid cannot be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Fiat Dealership immediately.
62)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
63)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (anti-theft, phone, etc.),
contact a Fiat Dealership, which
will suggest the most appropriate devices
for your vehicle, and will, most importantly,
advise you if a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.

Radio
183) 184) 185) 186) 187) 188)
The radio has been designed according
to the specifications of the passenger
compartment, with a personalised
design to match the style of the
dashboard.
TIPS
Road safety
Learn how to use the various radio
functions (for example, by storing
stations) before beginning to drive.
Care and maintenance
Clean the cover with a soft anti-static
cloth only. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on an
exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the vehicle.
This system guarantees maximum
safety and prevents the secret code
from being entered each time the radio
power supply is disconnected.If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
device will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
If the password is required when the
radio is switched on, the display will
show "Radio code" for about 2
seconds, followed by four dashes "- - -
-".
The code is made up of four digits from
1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit, press the
corresponding button of the preset
stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other
code digits in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show
"Enter code----".Ifthis occurs, it is
not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the radio will start to
operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display will
show "Radio blocked/wait" to notify the
user of the need to enter the correct
code.Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually
increases (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min,
16 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h,
24h) to a maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the
display with the text "Radio blocked/
wait". After the text has disappeared it
is possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the radio. The radio passport shows the
radio model, serial number and secret
code.
IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in
a safe place so that you can give the
information to the relevant authorities if
the radio is stolen.
In the case of loss of the vehicle radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the vehicle
ownership documents.

Uconnect Mobile –
Uconnect Bluetooth
189) 190) 191) 192) 193) 194) 195) 196) 197) 198)
The Uconnect Mobile and Uconnect
Bluetooth systems were designed
according to the specific characteristics
of the passenger compartment, with a
customised design that perfectly
matches the style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below
and we recommend you to read them
carefully.
TIPS
Familiarise yourself with the various
functions of the Uconnect systems (for
example, by storing the stations) before
starting to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change
constantly while driving. Reception may
be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic
information and news.Care and maintenance
Only clean the cover with a soft,
anti-static cloth. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The Uconnect systems are equipped
with an anti-theft protection system
based on an exchange of information
between the Uconnect system and the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the car.
This system guarantees maximum
safety and prevents the secret code
from being entered each time the
Uconnect system power supply is
disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
Uconnect system will start to operate,
whereas if the comparison codes
are not the same, or if the electronic
control unit (Body Computer) is
replaced, the device will ask the user to
enter the secret code according to
the procedure described in the
paragraph below.Entering the secret code
If the password is required when the
Uconnect system is switched on,
the display will show "Radio code" for
about 2 seconds, followed by four
dashes "----".
The code is made up of four digits from
1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit, press the
corresponding button of the preset
stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other
code digits in the same way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show
"Enter code----".Ifthis occurs, it is
not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the Uconnect system will
start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
Uconnect system will emit a sound and
the display will show "Radio blocked/
wait" to notify the user of the need
to enter the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time gradually
increases (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min,
16 min, 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h,
24h) to a maximum of 24 hours.
