RADIO
TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Cellular telephones and other radio
transceiver equipment (e.g. CB sys-
tem) must not be used inside the ve-
hicle unless a separate antenna is
mounted on the outside of the car.
IMPORTANT The use of cellular
telephones, CB radio systems or oth-
er similar devices inside the passenger
compartment (without an aerial) pro-
duces radio-frequency electromag-
netic fields, which, amplified by the res-
onance effects inside the passenger
compartment, may cause electrical
systems equipping the car to malfunc-
tion. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential
hazard for the passengersIn addition, the receiving and trans-
mitting effectiveness of such devices
may be reduced by the screening ef-
fect of the car bodywork.

IF ANYONE IS INJURED
– Never leave the injured person
alone. The obligation to provide as-
sistance exists even for those not di-
rectly involved in the accident.
– Do not congregate around the in-
jured person.
– Reassure the injured person that
help is on its way and will arrive soon.
Stay close by to calm him/her down in
case of panic.
– Unfasten or cut seat belts holding
injured parties.
– Do not give an injured person any-
thing to drink.
– Do not move an injured person un-
less the following situation arise.
– Pull out the injured person from
the car only if there is a risk of it catch-
ing fire, sinking in water or is likely to
fall over a cliff or etc. Do not pull
his/her arms or legs, do not bend the
head and, as far as possible, keep the
body horizontal.
IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved in
the accident, stop at least ten metres
away from the accident.
– If you are on a motorway, stop
without obstructing the emergency
lane with your car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on the
hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of the
accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk be-
ing run over.
– If the doors are blocked, do not at-
tempt to smash the windscreen to get
out of the car. It is made of layered
glass and is very hard. Side and rear
windows are much more easily bro-
ken.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen. – Call for rescue making the infor-
mation you give as accurate as you
can. On the motorway use the special
column-mounted emergency phones.
– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-
ticularly when the visibility is bad,
there is a high risk of other vehicles
running into those already stopped.
Get out of the car immediately and
take refuge behind the guard-rail.
– Remove the ignition keys from the
vehicles involved.
– If you can smell petrol or other
chemicals, do not smoke and make
sure all cigarettes are extinguished.
– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket
sand or earth to put out fires, how-
ever small they may be. Never use wa-
ter

The total intake of these systems
(factory and after-market) must be less
than 0,6 mA x Ah (of the battery), as
shown in the following table:
Battery Maximum permissiblestand-by intake
50Ah 30 mA
Furthermore, remember that high in-
take electric devices (such as baby bot-
tle warmer, vacuum cleaners, cellular
phones, mini-fridges, etc.) powered
when the engine is off can deploy the
battery.
IMPORTANTIf you need to fit ad-
ditional systems in the car, remember
that improper wiring connections, in
particular if they affect safety devices,
are dangerous.
USEFUL ADVICE
FOR LENGTHENING
THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
When you park the car, ensure the
doors, boot and bonnet are closed
properly. The courtesy light must be
off.
Do not keep accessories (e.g. sound
system, hazard lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running.
IMPORTANTA battery which is
kept at a charge of less than 50% for
any length of time will be damaged by
sulphation leading to a reduction in
cranking power and a higher risk of
the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at - 10°C).
If the car is inactive for a long peri-
od of time, refer to “Long inactivity of
the car”, in the “Correct use of the
car” chapter.If you want to add electrical acces-
sories after buying the car which need
permanent electric supply(alarm,
free hand phone kit, radio navigator
with satellite antitheft system etc.) vis-
it a
Fiat Dealership. They can sug-
gest the most suitable accessories to
get and check whether the electric
system can support the required load
or whether a larger capacity battery
is required.
These devices will, in fact, run off the
battery even when the key is not in-
serted (car parked, engine stopped)
and can destroy the battery.
