FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS 39) 22) 3)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements
of the Scheduled Servicing Plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emission
specifications. Lubricant quality is crucial for engine operation and duration.
If lubricants conforming to the specific request are not available, products that meet the indicated specifications can be used
to top up; in this case optimal performance of the engine is not guaranteed.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE
AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
FCA has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its
production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly “eco-compatible”. To grant customers the best
possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing
vehicles at the end of their life, FCA is offering its customers the chance to hand over their vehicle at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs. The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over, the last keeper or
owner should not incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships if you are purchasing
another vehicle or an FCA-authorised collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer
high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding
environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an FCA dealership or by calling the
number in the Warranty Booklet or by consulting the websites of the various FCA brands.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
3) ADJUSTMENTS
Any and all adjustments to seats, head restraints, steering wheel or
rear view mirrors must be performed exclusively with the
vehicle stationary and the engine off.
4) SEATS
•If a side bag is fitted, it is dangerous to use
seat covers not available from Lineaccessori MOPAR
®.
•Once you have released the adjustment lever, always check that
the seat is locked on the guides by trying to move it back and
forth. If the seat is not locked into place, it may unexpectedly slide
and cause the driver to lose control of the car.
5) HEAD RESTRAINTS
• All adjustments must be carried out only with the car stationary
and engine off. The head restraints should be adjusted to support
the back of your head and not your neck. Only in this position do
they exert their protective action.
• To make the best use of the protective action of the head
restraints, adjust the backrest so that you are sitting upright and
keep your head as close as possible to the head restraint.
6) REAR VIEW MIRRORS
As door mirrors are curved, they may slightly alter the perception
of distance. When driving, these mirrors must always be in the
open position.
We recommend you carefully read the following environmental information.
In an emergency we recommend that you call the toll-free phone number found in the Warranty Booklet.
Go to the www.fiat500.com website to locate the Fiat Dealership closest to you.
(CONTINUES)
1) THE KEYS
Press button B fig. 9 only with the key away from your body,
especially your eyes and from objects which could get damaged
(e.g. your clothes).
Do not leave the key unattended to avoid the button being
accidentally pressed while it is being handled, e.g. by a child.
2) STARTING DEVICE
• Never remove the key while the car is moving.
The steering wheel will automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being towed as well.
• It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market operation
involving steering system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the vehicle with type-approval requirements.
•If the ignition device has been tampered with
(e.g. an attempted theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership before driving again.
•Always remove the key when you leave your car to prevent
someone from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.
If the car is parked on a slope uphill, engage the first gear; if the
car is facing downhill, engage the reverse gear. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
188(CONTINUES)
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
7) DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL)
•The daytime running lights are an alternative to the dipped
beam headlights for driving during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights on during the day, and
they are also permitted in those countries where this is not
obligatory.
•Daytime running lights cannot replace dipped beam
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
•The use of daytime running lights is governed by the highway
code of the country in which you are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
8) FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
If, after an impact, you smell fuel or notice leaks from the fuel
system, do not reactivate the system to avoid the risk of fire.
9) INTERIOR FITTINGS
•The cigar lighter gets extremely hot. Handle it with caution and
do not allow it to be used by children to avoid the risk of fire or
burns. Always check that the cigar lighter has switched off.
•Only accessories with a maximum power of 180 W (maximum
absorption 15 A) can be connected to the socket.
•Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure
the passenger in the event of a crash.
•On both sides of the passenger side sun visor there is a label
remembering that it is compulsory to deactivate the airbags if a
rearward facing child restraint system is fitted.
Always comply with the instructions on the label.10) SUNROOF – ELECTRIC SOFT TOP
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
When leaving the car, always remove the key from the ignition
device to avoid the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants due to
accidental operation of these devices: improper use can be
dangerous. Before and during operation, always check that
nobody is exposed to the risk of being injured either directly by
the moving window or through objects getting
caught or hit by it.
11) SOFT TOP
•Keep hands away from the soft top mechanism while opening
and closing the soft top or if the soft top stops in a position before
the cycle is completed to prevent damage and injury.
•Keep children away from the area in which the top is folding
during opening or closing operations.
12) DOORS
Before opening a door, ensure that you can do it in conditions of
safety. Open the doors only when the vehicle is stationary.
13) LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
•Never exceed the maximum allowed load in the luggage
compartment, see chapter “Technical specifications”. Also make
sure that the objects you place in the luggage compartment have
been properly secured, to avoid them from being thrown forward
consequent to sudden braking and injuring your passengers.
•Do not drive with the tailgate open as exhaust fumes may enter
the vehicle.
•If you are travelling in areas with few filling stations and you
want to transport fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured tank. In the event of a
collision the fire risk is increased all the same.
