NoteThe “Service Schedule includes car
maintenance every 20,000 km (or 12,000
mi); this is shown automatically, with the
ignition key at MAR, starting from 2,000
km (or the equivalent value in miles) from
this deadline and it is shown again every
200 km (or the equivalent value in miles).
Below 200 km servicing indications are
displayed more frequently. Service indica-
tions will be displayed km or mi according
to previous unit setting. When a pro-
grammed maintenance interval (coupon)
is near to come, turning the ignition key
to MAR, the display will show the mes-
sage “Service” followed by the number of
km/mi to go before car servicing. Contact
a Fiat Dealership to carry out any service
operation provided by the “Service sched-
ule” and to reset the display.Exit Menu

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒ three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒ exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF). FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 98 and 99
The fuel filler cap Bis fitted with an anti-
loss device Cwhich fastens it to the flap
Aso it cannot be mislaid.
To slacken the cap Bfirst open the flap A.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the flap as shown in the fig-
ure.
fig. 99F0G0042m
Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the fu-
el filler hole as there is a dan-
ger of fire. Do not bend too
close to the hole either so as not to
breathe in harmful vapours.
During normal service the
catalyst reaches high tem-
peratures. Do not therefore park the
car over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire
hazard.
WARNING

Accessories installed on
longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski
racks, luggage container, etc. from the roof
as soon as they are no longer used. These
accessories lower air penetration and ad-
versely affect consumption levels. When
needing to carry particularly voluminous
objects, preferably use a trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at
a standstill or at idle or high speed: under
these conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly, increasing electrical
consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slow-
ly, avoiding high speeds: this way the en-
gine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern cars and al-
so increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Some useful tips are given below for fuel
saving and reducing harmful emissions of
CO
2and other pollutants (nitrogen ox-
ides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill).
This could cause fuel to flow into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond re-
pair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-
brake and electrical power steering sys-
tem (where provided) are not operating
until the engine is started, a greater effort
will therefore be required to press the
brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.

The space-saver spare wheel
(where provided) is specific
to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the spare wheel of oth-
er models on your car. The space-
saver spare wheel shall only be used
in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a
service point and the car speed shall
not exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel
has an orange sticker that summaris-
es the main cautions for use and lim-
itations. The sticker should never be
removed or covered. Never fit a wheel
cap on a space-saver spare wheel.
The sticker gives the following infor-
mation in four languages: Caution!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as
possible. Do not cover this label in
use.
If you change the type of wheel (al-
loy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fas-
tening bolts with another set of suit-
ably sized bolts.
WARNINGIF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car can be delivered (upon re-
quest/where provided) with standard
spare wheel or space saver spare wheel;
see changing instructions on the following
paragraphs.
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and space-saver spare wheel call for
some precautions as listed below.

IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL fig. 45
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment Amust be intact. If not, replace the
fuse with one of the same amp rating
(same colour).
Bundamaged fuse.
Cfuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pli-
ers Dhooked to the fusebox on the in-
strument panel left-hand side.
Refer to the tables on the following pages
to identify the protection fuse.
❒open the bulb cover B-fig. 44and re-
place the pressure-fitted bulb C;
❒refit the cover Bon the transparent;
❒refit correctly the light pressing one
side and then the other until the lock-
ing click is heard.
fig. 44F0G0103mfig. 45F0G0087m
Never replace a fuse with
metal wires or anything else.
Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp
rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
WARNING
If a general fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-
FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Before replacing a fuse,
make sure the ignition key
has been removed and that all the
other services are switched off and/or
disengaged.
