REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with
an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conform-
ing to the European specification EN 228.
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor vehicles
conforming to the European specification EN 590. The
use of other products or mixtures may damage the
engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, depending on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is en-
gaged, place the gear lever in neutral, fully depress the
clutch without depressing the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait
until the warning lights Y(or symbol on the display)
and mgo off. Then, turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic silencer reaches high temperatures dur-
ing operation. Do not park the on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material as this con-
stitutes a fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows contin-
uous diagnosis of the emission-related components in
order to help protect the environment.
K
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electri-
cal accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the
battery), visit the Fiat Service Network. They can cal-
culate the overall electrical requirement and check that
the vehicle’s electrical system can support the required
load.
CODE card
Keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should
have the electronic code from the CODE card with
you at all times.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring the ve-
hicle stays in tip-top condition and retains its safety
features, its environmental friendliness and low run-
ning costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... information, tips and important warnings on the cor-
rect use and maintenance of your vehicle over time as
well as safe driving tips. Pay special attention to the
symbols
"(personal safety) #(protecting the envi-
ronment)
!(risk of serious damage to the vehicle).
READ THIS CAREFULLY!

INDEXTHE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine immobiliser system which in-
creases protection against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when the ignition key is ex-
tracted.
Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during starting by an antenna built into
the starting device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each starting and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and enable starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recog-
nition code to the engine management control unit to de-
activate the immobiliser.
The code is only sent if the Fiat CODE system control
unit has recognised the code transmitted by the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine man-
agement control unit.
If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised,
warning light
Ylights up in the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it
is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with
the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Service Network if you still
cannot start the engine.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or on
some of the components of your vehicle. These labels bear
symbols that draw your attention to the precautions re-
quired when handling the component in question.
A plate summarising these symbols can be found under
the engine bonnet.

INDEXSTARTING DEVICE
The key can be turned to three different positions fig. 7:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. radio, central door lock-
ing system, etc.) can operate.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices can oper-
ate.
❒AVV: engine starting (temporary position).
The starting device is fitted with an electronic safety sys-
tem that, should the engine fail to start, forces you to turn
the ignition key back to STOP before repeating the start-
ing operation.

key to MAR.
If the starting device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by the Fiat Service Network as soon
as possible.

REV COUNTER fig. 12
The rev counter shows the number of engine rpm.
WARNING The electronic injection control system grad-
ually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is over-
revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase in the rate.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate con-
trol system or fan. In such cases, a slight increase in en-
gine idle speed helps to sustain the battery charge.INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type may vary ac-
cording to the version.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant and
starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds ap-
prox. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the mid-
dle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the multi-
function display may appear on certain versions) to indi-
cate that the coolant temperature is too high; in this case,
stop the engine and contact the Fiat Service Network. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
Warning light A comes on to indicate that approximately
8-10 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
WARNING The needle will point to E and warning light
A will flash to indicate a fault in the system. If this is the
case, go to the Fiat Service Network to have the system
checked.
If the needle enters the red zone, switch off
the engine immediately and contact the
Fiat Service Network.

Range
Shows the approximate distance the vehicle can travel
with the amount of fuel left in the tank. The display will
show the reading “----” when the following events take
place:
– range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a long
time.
WARNING The range can be affected by several factors:
driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting and dri-
ving” section), type of route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pres-
sures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above
into account.
Distance travelled
Shows the distance covered since the start of the new
journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since
the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
Shows the constantly updated fuel consumption. The read-
ing “----” appears on the display if the vehicle is parked
with the engine running.
Average speed
Shows the average speed of the vehicle by using the over-
all time elapsed since the start of a new journey.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The Trip computer is used to display information on ve-
hicle operation when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips, called
“Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the vehicle’s „com-
plete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally independent man-
ner. Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used
to display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot
be reset.
