WARNING
61)The vehicle must only be filled with
diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in
compliance with European Standard EN
590. 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 run, even for a very
short time, you will need to have the entire
fuel supply system emptied in addition to
the tank.
62)The plates (provided with the vehicle
documents) show the date when the
first cylinder inspection/test is due.
Methane refuelling station operators are
not authorised to refill the cylinders when
the inspection date has expired.
107
WARNING
115)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the vehicle. Using non-approved
objects/plugs may cause pressure
increase in the tank, leading to dangerous
conditions.
116)Do not get close to the filler of the
tank with naked flames or lit cigarettes: risk
of fire. Do not get too close to the filler
with your face, in order not to inhale
harmful vapours.
117)Do not use a mobile phone near the

IN AN EMERGENCY

If it is often necessary to perform a
jump starting, have the vehicle battery
and the recharging system checked
by a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle power sockets draw current
even if they are not used. These
devices, if left connected too much time
with engine off, may cause the battery
to drain with following reduction of
its life and/or failure to start the engine.
WARNING
140)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing may be pulled by moving
parts.
141)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
142)Batteries contain acid which may burn
skin and eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
WARNING
68)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only

IN AN EMERGENCY

146)Whilst towing, remember that the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
therefore greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and avoid
jerky movements. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the car while
towing. When towing the car, you must
comply with all specific traffic regulations,
both in terms of the towing device and
behaviour on the road. Do not start the
engine while being towed.
131
147)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
The car may be towed for short distances
when a dedicated device is used in
compliance with the Highway Code (rigid
bar), and in order to move the vehicle
on the road in preparation for towing or
transport via a tow truck (on the Trekking
versions do NOT use the rear tow hook for
transport on a tow truck: use the front
tow hook). Tow hooks MUST NOT be used
to tow vehicles off the road or where there
are obstacles and/or for towing operations
using ropes or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing
must take place with two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned as much
as possible along the same centre line.WARNING
144)Before starting towing operations,
turn the ignition key to MAR and then
to STOP, without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock when the
key is removed, making it impossible
to turn the wheels.
145)Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the tow ring is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the vehicle.
