IDENTIFICATION DATA
Vehicle Identification Number
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is
found on the left front corner of the wind-
shield and is visible from the outside of the
vehicle. The VIN number also is stamped into
the right front body, on the front floor. With
the right front seat in the rear most position,
a door in the carpet can be opened to reveal
the VIN. It also appears on the Automobile
Information Disclosure Label affixed to a win-
dow on your vehicle, the vehicle registration,
and the title.
NOTE:
It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.

WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to
the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been re-
moved and reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug
nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly
calibrated torque wrench using a high quality
six sided (hex) deep wall socket.

**Use only an authorized dealer recom-
mended lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove
any dirt or oil before tightening.Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion
or loose particles.
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern
until each nut/bolt has been tightened twice.
Ensure that the socket is fully engaged on the
lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway).
NOTE:
If in doubt about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or service station.After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/
bolt torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/
bolts are properly seated against the wheel.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
personal injury.

Minimum Ground Clearance (Reference A)
The clearance value is measured next to the
lower edge of the differential. This value also
defines those for the “Approach Angle” the
“Departure Angle” and the “Breakover Angle”.
Dimensions are expressed in inches (mm)
and refer to the vehicle equipped with its
original tires.
Approach Angle (Reference B)
The approach angle is determined by the
horizontal line of the road surface, and by the
tangent line passing between the front wheel,
and the most projecting low point of the car.
The wider the angle, the lower the chance to
hit an obstacle with the body or chassis,
when climbing a steep slope or overcoming
an obstacle.
Departure Angle (Reference C)
The departure angle is determined by the
same lines of the “Approach Angle”, and
refers to the rear part of the vehicle.Breakover Angle (Reference D)
The value of the “Breakover Angle” is linked
to the ground clearance of the vehicle and
indicates the attitude of the vehicle to over-
come a wedge, more or less steep, preventing
the vehicle from resting on the ground with
the body or chassis after touching the wedge
with its lowest and most projecting parts
(usually the underbody), because this would
highly reduce wheel grip.
The wheels, without a suitable grip to the
ground, will not have sufficient hold to move
the vehicle, and will surge.
The higher the ground clearance, the wider
the breakover angle. Always bear in mind that
the higher the ground clearance, the lower
the stability, due to a higher center of gravity
which reduces the side rollover angle.Ground Clearance / Typical Angles

CAUTION!
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the GVWR or the maximum front and rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break, or it can change the way your ve-
hicle handles. This could cause you to lose
control. Also overloading can shorten the
life of your vehicle. Never exceed the maxi-
mum combined vehicle load value: the
maximum towable load is only allowed if it
does not exceed the maximum combined
vehicle load.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
1.4L Turbo Gasoline Engine
This engine is designed to meet all emission
regulations and provide satisfactory fuel
economy and performance when using high-
quality unleaded gasoline having a minimum
research octane rating (RON) of 95. For op-
timum performance and fuel economy the
use of minimum research octane rating
(RON) of 98 or higher is recommended.Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Ethanol
The manufacturer recommends that your ve-
hicle be operated on fuel containing no more
than 10% ethanol. Purchasing your fuel from
a reputable supplier may reduce the risk of
exceeding this 10% limit and/or of receiving
fuel with abnormal properties.
CAUTION!
Use of fuel with Ethanol content higher
than 10% may result in engine malfunc-
tion, starting and operating difficulties,
and materials degradation. These adverse
effects could result in permanent damage
to your vehicle.
Materials Added To Fuel
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning
agents should be avoided. Many of these
materials intended for gum and varnish re-
moval may contain active solvents or similar
ingredients. These can harm fuel system gas-
ket and diaphragm materials.
Fuel Icon Identification Compliant To
EN16942
The following symbols make it easier to rec-
ognize the correct type of fuel to be used on
your vehicle. Before proceeding with the sup-
ply, check the symbols placed inside the fuel
filler flap (if present) and compare them with
the symbol on the fuel pump (if present).
