INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the car in the context of after-sales service must carry
the following label:
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. authorises the
installation of transceivers provided that installation is
carried out at a specialised centre, in a workmanlike
fashion and in compliance with manufacturer’s
specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on
the road if devices have been installed which modify the
features of the car. This may also cause invalidation of
warranty in relation to faults caused by the change
either directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation of accessories either
not supplied or recommended by Fiat Group
Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not installed in compliance
with the instructions provided.TRANSCEIVERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones,
CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without a separate aerial) may
cause the vehicle electrical systems to malfunction. This
could compromise safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers’ health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.
As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is
concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile phone
manufacturer.

Front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable objects that do
not affect the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper
collision against guard rail, piles of gravel etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath other vehicles or
protective barriers (e.g. underneath a truck or a
guard rail); in this case, the bags would offer no
additional protection with respect to the seat belt
and their deployment is unnecessary. Therefore,
failure to activate in the above circumstances does
not mean that the system is not working properly.FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, and with a knee bag on the driver’s side.
The front driver / passenger airbags and the driver’s
knee bag have been designed to protect the occupants
in the event of head-on crashes of medium/high severity,
by placing a cushion between the occupant and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of crash (side-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is therefore not a
sign of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in
the event of a frontal impact. The bag will inflate
instantaneously placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures which could cause
injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver’s knee
bag are not a replacement for, but rather complement,
the use of belts, which should always be worn, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-European
countries.
The volume of the front airbags at maximum inflation
fills most of the space between the steering wheel and
the driver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat
belt could move forward and come into contact with a
bag which is still in the opening phase. The protection
offered by the bag is compromised in these
circumstances.

CONTENTS
Do not apply stickers or other objects on
the steering wheel, passenger side airbag
cover or upper side upholstery. Do not place
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger
side dashboard because these could interfere
with the correct opening of the airbag and
cause severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor
collisions (for which the withholding action of the seat
belts is sufficient). For this reason, the seat belt must be
worn at all times. In the case of side collisions, the seat
belts hold occupants in the correct position and prevent
them being thrown out of the car by a very violent
collision.

STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on
permanently, contact an Abarth Dealership immediately.
IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency we recommend that you call the free-phone number found on the Warranty Booklet. You can
also find the Abarth Dealership nearest to you on the web site www.fiat.com.
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames away
from the battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.
WARNING
IMPORTANT For the jump starting procedure, refer to
“Knowing your car” section, paragraph “Start&Stop
system”.

BATTERY
The car is fitted with a low-maintenance battery: no
top-ups with distilled water are needed in standard
conditions of use.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE AND THE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out as described in this
Owner Handbook only by skilled personnel. Any top-up
operations must be carried out by skilled personnel and
by an Abarth Dealership.
Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the fluid is too
low can damage it irreparably and
generate a risk of explosion.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Programme” in this chapter will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. Contact an Abarth
Ford Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you if a higher
capacity battery needs to be installed.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMA) can
transmit information about traffic conditions. In this case
the text “TA” appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select “Traffic
info”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the function on/off.
If the TA function has been activated, the icon “TA”
lights up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is activated with an
audio source other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3,
telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an
automatic search and therefore it is possible, when
reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that the frequency
tuned into is different from the one previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that transmit on the FM
band, that are enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the CD player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are radio stations
that, even with the TP function activated, do not
transmit traffic information (the icon “TP” appears on
the display).If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band, when
TA is activated it will tune to the last selected station in
the FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic news is transmitted
depends on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news volume equal
to 5 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news volume equal
to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during the traffic news, the level
will not be shown on the display; the new level will only
be maintained during the traffic news in progress.
While traffic information is being received, “TRAFFIC
INFORMATION” will appear on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by pressing any
button on the car radio.
