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 en-
gine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, 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 constitutes
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 fea-
tures, its environmental friendliness and low running
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 sym-
bols
"(personal safety) #(protecting the environ-
ment) !(risk of serious damage to the vehicle).

THE 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 can-
not 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.

Network when ordering duplicate keys.
WARNING In order to ensure complete efficiency of the
electronic devices inside the keys, they should never be
exposed to direct sunlight. Warning light
Ycomes on when driving
❒If the warning light Ycomes on, this means that the
system is running a self-diagnosis (owing to a voltage
drop, for example).
❒If the warning light Ystays on, contact the Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
The electronic components inside the key
may be damaged if the key is subjected to
sharp knocks.

Replacing the battery of the key with remote
control fig. 6
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
❒press button A and bring the metal insert B to the open
position;
❒turn the screw C to :using a fine screwdriver;
❒take out the battery case D and replace the battery E,
respecting its polarity;
❒refit the battery case D inside the key and lock it by
turning the screw C to
Á. Button
Qunlocks all the doors (including the tailgate, the
rear swing doors and the sliding side doors for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
Button Álocks all the doors;
Button Punlocks the boot, the rear swing doors and the
sliding side doors (depending on the version).
Unlocking the load compartment from inside the
vehicle (Cargo versions)
Pressing button A-fig. 5 unlocks the loading area (rear
swing doors/boot and sliding side doors) from inside the
vehicle. If the LED is on, the load compartment is locked.
Used batteries are harmful to the environ-
ment. You can dispose of them either in the
correct containers as specified by law or by
taking them to the Fiat Service Network, who will
deal with their disposal.

Switching the device on
The system is automatically enabled on all the doors by
pressing button
Átwice on the key with remote control.
The direction indicators flash twice to let you know that
the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not perfectly shut, the dead
lock device will not be activated, thus preventing a person
getting into the vehicle through the open door and, on
shutting, it, remaining stuck inside the passenger com-
partment.
Switching the device off
The system is disabled automatically on every door when:
❒unlocking the doors;
❒turning the ignition key to MAR. Requesting additional remote controls
The system acknowledges up to 8 remote controls. Should
a new remote control be necessary, contact the Fiat Ser-
vice Network and be ready to present the CODE card, a
personal identity document and the vehicle ownership doc-
uments.
DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
This safety device prevents the opening of the doors from
inside the passenger compartment if there has been a break
in attempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the best possible
protection against break in attempts. We recommend en-
gaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unat-
tended.
