PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE
Fiat 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 assure customers of 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, Fiat is offering their customers the opportunity of handing 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. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January
2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge
irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and
bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact a Fiat Dealership or authorised collection and
scrapping centres. These centres 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.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat or Fiat Commercial Vehicle
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going on the Fiat website.

RADIO
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The radio has been designed according
to the specifications of the passenger
compartment, with a personalised
design matching the style of the
dashboard perfectly.
TIPS
Road safety
Please, learn how to use all different
radio functions (e.g. save stations)
before beginning 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.
161)
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 the
exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) present 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 function, 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
When the radio is switched on, if the
secret code is requested, the display
will show the word "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 work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display
shows the text "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 will gradually
increase (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16
min, 30 min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h)
up 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 car radio. The car 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.

WARNING
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
Distribute the load evenly and pay attention to side winds when driving.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").
INSTRUMENT PANEL
If the needle for the engine coolant temperature reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
“COMFORT-MATIC" TRANSMISSION Messages on the display
If the warning light(together with the message in the display) continues to remain on in the panel, go to a Fiat Dealership.
If the message is still shown in the display, contact a Fiat Dealership.
To keep the clutch in good condition, do not use the accelerator to keep the car stationary (e.g. when stopped facing uphill); the clutch
could be damaged by overheating. Use the brake pedal instead and operate the accelerator only when you are ready to set off.
BODYWORK
Some automatic systems equipped with old generation blades and/or with a poor maintenance can damage the paint, promoting the
creation of microscoring which give an opaque/coated appearance to the paint, especially on dark colours. In this case, just lightly polish with
specific products.
WARNING
BODYWORK
Detergents pollute the environment. The vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
