ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to
install electrical accessories that
require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite antitheft system,
etc.) or accessories that in any case
burden the electric supply, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified
personnel, besides suggesting
the most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate
the overall electric consumption,
checking whether the car's
electrical system is able to
withstand the load required, or
whether it needs to be integrated
with a more powerful battery.
91)
INSTALLING
ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices
installed after buying the car in the
context of after-sales service must
carry the following label: fig. 138.Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the
installation of transceivers provided
that installation is carried out at a
specialised centre, in a
workmanlike fashion and in
compliance with manufacturer's
specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road if devices
have been installed which modify
the features of the car. This may
also cause invalidation of warranty
in relation to faults caused by the
change either directly or indirectly
related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable
for damage caused by the
installation of accessories either not
supplied or recommended by Fiat
Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed
in compliance with the instructions
provided.RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment
(vehicle mobile phones, CB radios,
amateur radio etc.) cannot be
used inside the car unless a
separate aerial is mounted
externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these
devices inside the passenger
compartment (without an external
aerial) may cause the electrical
systems to malfunction. This could
compromise the safety of the car
in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for passengers'
health.
In addition, transmission and
reception of these devices may be
affected by the shielding effect of
the car body.
As far as the use of EC-approved
mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile
phone manufacturer.

PROVISION FOR
FITTING TELEPASS ON
REFLECTIVE
WINDSCREEN
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If the vehicle is equipped with a
reflective windscreen, install the
Telepass in the appropriate area
shown in fig. 139 - fig. 140.
WARNING
91) Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-
standard wheel hubs: they could
reduce the ventilation of the
brakes and affect efficiency
during sharp, repeated braking or
on long descents. Make sure
that nothing obstructs the pedal
stroke (mats, etc.)
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
IN BRIEF
Refuel the vehicle exclusively with
diesel for motor vehicles in
compliance with European
specification EN590.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very
low, diesel thickens due to the
formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of
the fuel supply system.
139F1A0310
140F1A0311
109

In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are
distributed according to the
season: summer type, winter type
and arctic type (cold/mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature,
it is advisable to mix TUTELA
DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the
container. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle
for a long time in the mountains
or cold areas, it is advisable to
refuel using locally available diesel
fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to
keep the tank over 50% full.
19)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up
twice after the first click of the
fuel supply gun. Further top-ups
could cause faults in the fuel supply
system.FUEL TANK CAP
For refuelling, open flap A fig. 141
and unscrew cap B turning the
ignition key anticlockwise; the cap
is fitted with a safety device C
which fastens it to the flap so it
cannot be mislaid.
The sealing may cause a slight
pressure increase in the tank.
A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to
the device inside the flap as shown
in fig. 141.
92)
IMPORTANT
19) Only refuel with automotive
diesel complying with the
European specification 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 introduce other types
of fuel into the tank, do not start
the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time,
you must not only drain the fuel
tank, but the rest of the supply
circuit as well.
WARNING
92) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank
opening: fire risk. Keep your face
away from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
93)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the
exhaust system, that physically
traps carbon particles present in
the exhaust gases of diesel
engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all
particulates in compliance with
current / future legal regulations.During normal use of the vehicle,
the Powertrain Control Module
records a set of data (travel time,
type of route, temperatures
reached etc.) and calculates how
much particulate has been trapped
by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning carbon
particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the
Powertrain Control Module
according to the filter conditions
and vehicle usage conditions.
During regeneration, the following
may occur: a limited increase in the
engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or
damage the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed,
refer to paragraph "Warning lights
and messages".
WARNING
93) The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during
normal operation. Do not park
the vehicle on flammable material
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles
etc.): fire hazard.
