Page 6 of 284

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European specification
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to switch on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel for
motor vehicles in compliance with the European
specification EN590. The use of other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINEMake sure that the handbrake is engaged; place
the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch
pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for
the
warning light to switch off (and
warning light for diesel versions); turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as
the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIESIf, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They will calculate the overall electrical
requirement and check that the car’s electrical
system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect maintenance of the car is essential for
ensuring that it maintains its performance and its
safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…… important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols provided
(personal safety)
(environmental protection)
(car integrity).

SECURING YOUR LOAD
The luggage compartment contains two attachments
for the cables that secure the load transported and
another two attachments are located on the rear
crossmember.
WARNING
Every attachment has a maximum load
capacity of 100 kg.
WARNING
A heavy load that has not been secured
may cause serious injuries in the event
of an accident .
WARNING
If you are travelling in an area with
limited opportunities for vehicle
refuelling and you wish to bring petrol with you
in a petrol can, you must do so in compliance
with current regulations and using an approved
can, appropriately secured to the load securing
attachments.However, bydoing so, you increase
the risk of fire in case of an accident with
your vehicle.
CARGO BOX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It consists of a preformed box, which is located in
the luggage compartment and can be used to store
objects.
It expands the load capacity and organises the space
in the luggage compartment.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS 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
externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the car in
addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be negatively 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.
REFUELLING THE CARVersions equipped with "Smart Fuel" system are
provided with an inhibiter which prevents refuelling
with incorrect fuel.
Accidental refuelling with non-compliant fuels (e.g.
petrol in Diesel engines) can only occur in the case
of versions equipped with fuel tank cap. Before
refuelling, make sure that the fuel type is correct.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number
(R.O.N.) no lower than 95. In order to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even
in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to
air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage
the catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.

In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel fuel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the current
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long time in the
mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel
using locally available diesel. In this case, it is also
advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications.The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, due to the damage caused. If you
accidentally refuel with another type of fuel, do
not start the engine, and drain the tank. If the
engine has been run, even for only a very short
time, you will need to have the entire fuel system
emptied in addition to the tank.
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top-ups
could cause faults in the fuel supply system.REFUELLING PROCEDURE FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH "SMART FUEL" SYSTEM
"Smart Fuel" is a device integrated with the end of
the fuel filler pipe which opens and recloses
automatically when the fuel delivery gun is
introduced/removed. "Smart Fuel" is provided with
an inhibiter which prevents refuelling with incorrect
fuel.
The refuelling procedure described below is
illustrated on label B fig. 82, which is applied inside
the fuel flap. The label also indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL=petrol, DIESEL=diesel fuel).
To refuel proceed as follows:
❒open the flap A fig. 82 pulling it outwards;
❒introduce the dispenser in the filler and refuel;
❒at the end of refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds in order for
the fuel to flow inside the tank;
❒then remove the dispenser from the filler and
close flap A.
Flap A fig. 82 is provided with a dust cowl C which
prevents deposits of impurities and dust at the
end of the filler when the flap is closed.
Emergency refuelling (only for versions
equipped with "Smart Fuel")
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply circuit is
completely empty, proceed as follows to reintroduce
fuel to the tank:
