ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If you want to add electrically powered accessories after buying the vehicle (with the risk of gradually draining
the battery) visit a Fiat Dealership. They will evaluate the overall electrical intake and check whether the elec-
tric system can support the required load.
CODE card
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should always keep the electronic card code writ-
ten on the CODE card with you.

IMPORTANTThe electronic sys-
tem progressively blocks fuel flow to
prevent engine from overrevving. This
will lead to a progressive loss of en-
gine power. When the engine is idling,
the rev counter may indicate a grad-
ual or sudden highering of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during
normal operation, for example when
activating the climate control system
or the fan. In particular a slow change
in the speed preserves the battery
charge.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuos di-
agnosis of the components of the ve-
hicle correlated with emissions.
Furthermore, the system warns the
driver of deterioration concerning the
emission system components by
means of the Uwarning light on the
instrument panel.
The objective is to:
– monitor system efficiency;
– warn when failures can increase
emissions over the threshold estab-
lished by the European regulations;
– warn of the need to replace dete-
riorated components.
Furthermore, the system is equipped
with a connector for interfacing with
specific tools used to read the error
codes stored in the control unit mem-
ory along with a set of diagnostic and
engine specific parameters.IMPORTANTAfter eliminating the
problem, your Fiat Dealershipwill
run a bench test to fully check the sys-
tem. In some cases, a long road test
may be required. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the Uwarning light ei-
ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes
on, with fixed or flashing light,
when travelling. Warning light U
operation can be checked by
means of special equipment by
traffic agents. Always comply
with the traffic regulations in
force in the country where you
are travelling.
SOUND SYSTEM
If the “Sound System” has not been
requested, the vehicle features an odd-
ment compartment on the dashboard.
If you wish to have a radio
installed, after purchasing
the vehicle, first go to a Fiat
Dealership who will be able to
advise on the subject in order to
safeguard the life of the battery and
protect the vehicle electrical sys-
tem. Excessive absorption will drain
and damage the battery and may
invalidate the battery warranty. The
lack of protection provided with a
factory-fitted radio may adversely
affect the correct operation of the
vehicle diagnostic system.
LIGHT PRESETTING
The system consists of the following:
– sound system power wires;
– wires for front speakers on the
dashboard, doors (where provided)
and rear speakers for passengers
transport versions;
– sound system compartment;
– aerial wire and aerial.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-
tacs mobile phones, HAM radio sys-
tems and the like) shall not be used in-
side the vehicle unless a separate aer-
ial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANTThe use of similar
devices inside the passenger compart-
ment (without separated aerial) pro-
duces radio-frequency electromag-
netic fields which, amplified by the res-
onance effects inside the passenger
compartment, may cause electrical
systems equipping the vehicle to mal-
function. This could compromise safe-
ty in addition to constituting a poten-
tial hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and recep-
tion of these devices may be affected
by the shielding effect of the vehicle
body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly
comply with the instructions for use
provided by the mobile phone’s man-
ufacturer.ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that re-
quire a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.)
or accessories that in any case
burden the electric supply, contact
Fiat Dealership, whose qualified
personnel, besides suggesting the
most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evalu-
ate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric sys-
tem is able to withstand the load re-
quired, or whether it needs to be in-
tegrated with a more powerful battery.
INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRIC/ ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed
after buying the car or in aftermarket
shall bear the and marking:Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the in-
stallation of transceivers provided that
installation is carried out at a special-
ized shop, workmanlike performed
and in compliance with manufacturer's
specifications.
IMPORTANTInstallation of de-
vices resulting in modifications of car
characteristics may cause driving li-
cense seizing by traffic agents and al-
so the lapse of the warranty as con-
cerns defects due to the abovemen-
tioned modification or traceable back
to it directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A.declines all re-
sponsibility for damages caused by the
installation of non-genuine accessories
or not recommended by Fiat Auto
