USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery
rapidily and maintain its efficiency
over time, carefully observe the
following instructions:
– when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet
are closed properly, to prevent
any roof lights from remaining on
inside the passenger
compartment;
– switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which
switches all internal lights off
automatically;
– do not keep accessories (e.g. car
radio, hazard warning lights, etc.)
switched on for a long time when
the engine is not running;
– before performing any operation
on the electrical system,
disconnect the negative battery
cable;– fully tighten the battery terminals.
IMPORTANT If the battery remains
with the charge below 50% for a
long time it becomes damaged
through sulphation and its starting
capacity is reduced.
The battery is also more prone to
the risk of freezing (at temperatures
as high as -10°C).
Refer to the paragraph “Vehicle
inactivity” in the “Correct use of the
vehicle” section if the vehicle is left
parked for a long time.If, after buying the vehicle, you want
to install electrical accessories which
require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) or accessories that in
any case burden the electrical
supply, contact a Fiat Dealership,
whose qualified personnel, in
addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices from Lineaccessori
Fiat, will evaluate the overall
electrical consumption, checking
whether the vehicle’s electrical
system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should
be integrated with a more powerful
battery.
Since some of these devices
continue to consume electricity even
when the engine is off, they gradually
run down the battery.

– spraying the underbody, engine
compartment, inside of wheel
arches and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
– spraying of plastic materials for
protective purposes in the most
exposed points: under the doors,
inside the wings, along the edges,
etc.;
– use of “open” boxed sections to
prevent condensation and pockets
of moisture from triggering rust
inside.
VEHICLE BODY AND
UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your vehicle is covered by warranty
against perforation due to corrosion
of any original element of the
structure or body.
For the general terms of this
warranty, refer to the Warranty
Booklet.ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paintwork
Paintwork does not only serve an
aesthetic purpose, but also protects
the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the
formation of rust. Only use genuine
spare paint products for touch-ups
(see “Bodywork paint identification
plate” in the “Technical
Specifications” section).
Normal maintenance of paintwork
consists in washing the car: the
frequency depends on the conditions
and environment where the car is
used.
For example, it is advisable to wash
the vehicle more often in areas with
high levels of environmental
pollution or on roads spread with
salt.To correctly wash the vehicle,
proceed as follows:
– wash the body using a low
pressure jet of water;
– wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge;
– rinse well with water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
If you put the vehicle through a car
wash, follow these
recommendations:
– remove the aerial from the roof so
that it does not get damaged;
– the vehicle should be washed with
water added to a soapy solution;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap
marks remaining on the bodywork
or less visible parts.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives. The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
– urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
– extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed
varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
– combined consumption: this is calculated with a weighting of about 37% urban cycle consumption and about 63% extra-
urban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general state of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, and other situations that affect how the car moves
through the air may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
