ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES INSTALLATION
Electrical and electronic devices installed
after buying the vehicle by after-market
service must carry the following label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation
of transceiving devices provided that they
are installed by a specialised centre ac-
cording to rules of good engineering prac-
tice in compliance with the manufacturer’s
indications.IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow
the vehicle on the road if devices are in-
stalled which imply modifications of the
vehicle features. This may also cause the
warranty to become null and void in re-
lation to faults caused by the change or re-
lated to the change either directly or in-
directly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for dam-
age caused by the installation of acces-
sories either not supplied or recom-
mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not in-
stalled in compliance with the provided in-
structions.RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g. mobile
phones, HAM radio systems and the like)
shall not be used inside the vehicle unless
a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause mal-
functioning of the electrical systems in-
stalled on the vehicle. This could com-
promise safety in addition to constituting
a potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As concerns officially EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly com-
ply with the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the mobile phone.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and
minimize polluting emissions of CO
2and
other pollutants (nitric oxide, unburnt hy-
drocarbons, fine dusts etc…).GENERAL REMARKS
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled Service
Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its trim greatly affect
fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof after use. These accessories de-
crease aerodynamic penetration of the ve-
hicle and have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. The rear heated window,
additional headlights, windscreen wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing fu-
el consumption (up to +25% in the urban
cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to high-
er fuel consumption (up to +20% on av-
erage): use air vents only when the ex-
ternal temperature allows it.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consump-
tion levels.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensur-
ing long vehicle life under the best condi-
tions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and maintenance operations every
30,000 km.
Scheduled servicing will not however ful-
ly cover all of the needs of your vehicle.
Even before carrying out the 30,000 km
service coupon, and later between one
consecutive coupons, ordinary vehicle
care is still required such as for example
routine checks to top up the fluid levels,
if necessary, tyre pressure checks, etc.IMPORTANT Scheduled service coupons
are required by the manufacturer. Non-
performance of service coupons may
cause the warranty to become null and
void.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealerships at pre-established times.
If during scheduled servicing, the need aris-
es for further replacements or repairs,
these may be carried out exclusively af-
ter obtaining the explicit agreement from
the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
the Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-
nor operating faults, without waiting for
the next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for tow-
ing, the interval between service coupons
must be reduced.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter re-
placed by a Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
The vehicle fits a low-maintenance battery:
no top-ups with distilled water are need-
ed in normal conditions of use.
A periodic check is however required to
make sure that the battery is in efficient
conditions. Have it performed by the Fiat
Dealership or skilled personnel only. REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a gen-
uine spare battery having the same speci-
fications.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Scheduled servicing plan” in this section
will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-
structions for maintenance.
The battery fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explo-
sion and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an
excessively low liquid level
will damage the battery beyond re-
pair and even cause an explosion.
WARNING
Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
vehicle. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship if, after buying the vehicle, you
want to install accessories (alarms, mo-
bile phone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you
if a higher capacity battery needs to be
installed.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE
AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment through
the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view
to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations
imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at
the end of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring
expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the
European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002
on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the
vehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to our
customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of your
nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web
site or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.
