REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with oc-
tane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with
the European Standard EN 228.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel for motor
vehicles in compliance with the European Standard
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.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged;
set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ig-
nition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has
started.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for
the warning lights Y(or symbol on the display) and m
to go off. Then, 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 the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous
diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions
to ensure better respect for the environment.K
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical ac-
cessories (with the risk of gradually draining the bat-
tery), contact a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that the ve-
hicle electric system can support the required load.
CODE card
Keep the card in a safe place, not in the car. Make sure
you have the electronic code written on the CODE
card with you at all times.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct car servicing is essential for ensuring it stays in
tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its
environmental friendliness and low running costs for
a long time to come.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, tips and warnings for correct
use, driving safety and maintenance of your car over
time. Pay special attention to the symbols

WINDOW WASHINGThe right stalk fig. 50 controls windscreen wiper/washer
and rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the ignition key is at MAR.
The stalk has five different positions (four speed levels):
A windscreen wiper off.
B intermittent operation.
C continuous slow operation.
D continuous fast operation.
E fast temporary operation (spring-return position).
The temporary fast function lasts as long as you manually
keep the stalk in that position. The stalk returns to
position A when it is released, automatically stopping
the windscreen wipers.

Windscreen wiper slowing down according
to car speed
(for versions/markets where provided)
On some versions, when decelerating until stopping the
car, will the windscreen wiper will slow down automati-
cally. Speed will be resumed automatically when the car
speed exceeds 10 km/h. The windscreen speed can be
changed manually at any time.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (spring-return
position) to operate the windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled, with just one movement, to operate
the washer jet and the windscreen wiper; the latter auto-
matically turns on if you keep the stalk pulled for more than
half a second. The windscreen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”,
after a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Never use the windscreen wipers to remove
layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In these conditions, the windscreen wipers
may be submitted to excessive effort resulting in
motor protection cutting in and wiper operation in-
hibition for a few seconds. If the operation is not
restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.

wiper.
With the windscreen wiper on, turn the knurled ring to
'
to turn on the rear window wiper. In this case the wiper
works (in the different positions) timed with the wind-

a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Do not use the rear window wiper to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In these conditions, the rear window
wipers may be submitted to excessive effort result-
ing in motor protection cutting in and wiper oper-
ation inhibition for a few seconds. If the operation
is not restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.

In case of fault to the electrical device
fig. 65 and 66
Take the wrench E in the tool box (inside the boot)
and manually open/close the sun-roof fitting the wrench
in the motor seat. To reach the seat, remove the
pressure-fit cover F located on the central roof cross
member (dividing the sun-roof mobile section from the
fixed one).
Improper use of the sun-roof can be dan-
gerous. Before and during its operation en-
sure that any passengers are not at risk from the
moving roof either by personal objects getting
caught in the mechanism or by being injured by
it directly.
WARNING
Always remove the ignition key when you
get out of the car to prevent the sun-roof
from being operated accidentally and constitut-
ing a danger to the people still on board.

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
whatever after-market operation involv-
ing steering system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also result in non-com-
pliance of the car with type approval require-
ments.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition switch to operate the steering lock,
particularly when the wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (i.e. if the key must
be kept in the MAR position or the engine must
be kept running), remove the electric power steer-
ing system main fuse.
WARNING
In this case, stop the car immediately, switch off the en-
gine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine.
If the warning light
g
is still on, along with the message
on the reconfigurable multifunction display (for versions/
markets, where provided), contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become stiffer following
parking manoeuvres including a great deal of steering.
This is normal and caused by the system preventing the
electric control motor overheating. No repairs are need-
ed. The power steering system will start working properly
again the next time the car is used.

The car must only be filled with diesel fuel
for motor vehicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, due to the damage caused. If you acciden-
tally introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the
engine has been run, even for only a very short time,
you will need to have the entire fuel system emp-
tied in addition to the tank.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel thickens due
to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent defec-
tive operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel
are distributed according to the season: summer type, win-
ter 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 con-
tainer with the fuel. 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.

SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres pro-
vided with the car.
Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice concern-
ing the most suitable type of tyres for the customer’s re-
quirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the
specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given
in paragraph “Wheels” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced consider-
ably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace them
in this case.
Due to snow tyre features, under normal conditions of
use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of
these tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres. Lim-
it performance according to the use for which they were
certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max.
speed index below the one that can be reached by the
car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger’s
compartment, plainly in the driver’s view which states the
max. permissible speed of the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).
The max. speed of snow tyres with “Q”
marking is 160 km/h. The Highway Code
speed limits must however be always complied
with.
WARNING
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to
ensure greater safety when driving and braking and bet-
ter driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the rotation
direction of tyres.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once
a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:❒
make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the wind-
screen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor
and overheating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned,
follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in this chapter care-
fully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the sys-
tem may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
