READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Only refuel with automotive diesel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the
engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for the warning lightsandto switch off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as
the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.

WARNING
1)When carrying a key on flights, do not
press any switches on the key while on the
plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane,
the key emits electromagnetic waves,
which could adversely affect the plane’s
flight operation. When carrying a key in a
bag, be careful that no switches on the key
can be easily pressed by mistake.2)Don’t make any alterations or additions
to the immobilizer system; alterations or
additions could cause failure of the
immobilizer.
3)When the key case is opened, be careful
to keep water, dust, etc. out. Also, do not
touch the internal components.4)People with implantable cardiac
pacemakers or implantable cardiovascular-
defibrillators should not go near the exterior
transmitters (A) or the interior transmitters
(B). The radio waves used by the keyless
operation system could adversely affect
implantable cardiac pacemakers or
implantable cardiovascular-defibrillators.

WARNING
56)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further, the
reflective surface of the lower part of the
exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase the
field of view. The reflected image size is
thus reduced and gives the impression that
the reflected item is further away than it
actually is.
57)Do not attempt to adjust the rear view
mirrors while driving. This can be
dangerous. Always adjust the mirrors
before driving.
58)Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors. Remind that objects that you
see in the mirror will look smaller and
farther away compared to a normal flat
mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate
distance of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
59)Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided by the mirror could lead
to an accident.
IMPORTANT
20)It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror
using the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using the
switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move because
of the wind or vibration while you are
driving, taking away your rearward visibility.

NOTE Do not leave the lamps on for a
long time while the engine is stationary
(not running). A run-down battery could
result.
NOTE When it rains, or when the
vehicle has been washed, the inside of
the lens sometimes becomes foggy, but
this does not indicate a functional
problem. When the lamp is switched
on, the heat will remove the fog.
However, if water gathers inside the
lamp, we recommend you to have
checked.

type
Do not need any adjustment.
Halogen headlamp type
Mask the headlamps according to the
next procedure.
Turn the headlamp off and wait until
the headlamps got cold.According
to the illustrations, prepare the
sticker (A) to stick the headlamp
surface of right and left.Seeing from
the headlamp front, position (C) of
the sticker and the central mark (B)
of the headlamp and stick a sticker
along the vertical dotted line.
NOTE Use a sticker with a light
blocking effect enough. Using of a
sticker without a light blocking effect will
not acquire a blocking effect.
NOTE Align the vertical dotted line with
the line of the reflector in the headlamp.
WARNING
60)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to dipped beam headlights for
driving during the daytime. They are
compliant in countries where is it obligatory
to have lights on during the day and
permitted in those where it is not
obligatory.

61)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
highway code of the country in which you
are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
62)Always perform adjustments before
driving. Do not attempt to adjust while
driving, as it could cause an accident.INTERIOR LAMPS

86)Do not carry unnecessary objects on
the flatbed. Particularly if the vehicle is
driven in cities, where frequent stopping
and starting is necessary, supplementary
loads on the vehicle may have major
repercussions on fuel consumption.
Furthermore, do not travel with
unnecessary luggage, loads etc. on the
roof: the increased air resistance will
increase fuel consumption.
87)Using a lower gear when travelling with
heavy loads will improve vehicle
performance and extend the life of the
gearbox, limiting gear shifts and
overheating. This action ensures better
exhaust braking.
88)All precautions must be adopted to
prevent danger to other road users if the
load protrudes beyond the contour of the
vehicle. The rear and side protrusion must
be indicated according to the laws in force
in the country. The load must not
compromise stability of the vehicle or cover
lights, visual indicators or identifying plates.
Poles, bars and similar loads which are
difficult to see arranged horizontally must
not protrude beyond the contour of the
vehicle.TRAILER TOWING
In order to tow a trailer with your
vehicle, when having a trailer towing
device mounted that meets all relevant
regulations in your area, consult a Fiat
Dealership.
Check that your towbar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence
plate when the trailer or caravan is
disconnected. If it obscures the licence
plate, please remove the towbar
coupling ball. And if the towbar
coupling ball is lockable by using a key
or any kind of tools, please remove the
coupling ball and use a towbar coupling
ball which can be removed or
repositioned without the use of a key or
any kind of tools instead.
The regulations concerning the towing
of a trailer may differ from country to
country. You are advised to obey the
regulations in each area.
NOTE If you are going to tow a trailer,
pay careful attention to the following
points.
89)
Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailernose
weight
Never exceed the maximum towable
weight with brake and the maximum
trailer-nose weight as listed in the
specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight”.
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more
than 1,000 m above sea-level, reduce
your weight by 10 % of the gross
combination weight for every increase
of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the
engine output is lowered owing to
decrease in atmospheric pressure.
