ANTI-PINCH SAFETY SYSTEM
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of de-
tecting the presence of an obstacle whilst the roof is clos-
ing; when this happens, the system stops and the move-
ment of the glass is immediately reversed.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
The sunroof must be re-initialised after disconnecting the
battery or if the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 83 at close position;
❒hold the button down so that the sunroof closes in
stages;
❒after full closing, wait for sunroof’s electric motor
to stop.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the
ignition to avoid the risk of injury to those still inside the
car due to accidental operation of the sunroof. Improper
use of the roof can be dangerous. Before and during op-
eration, always check that no-one is exposed to the risk
of being injured by the moving sunroof or by objects get-
ting caught and dragged by it.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electrical supply
(sound system, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or ones that
drain the battery, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose quali-
fied personnel, besides suggesting the most suitable de-
vices from Lineaccessori Fiat, will also check whether the
vehicle’s electrics are able to withstand the load required,
or whether they need to be integrated with a more pow-
erful battery.
Take care when fitting additional spoilers,
alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs:
they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes
and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated brak-
ing or on long descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedals (mats, etc.)
WARNING
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
car in the context of after-sales service must carry the fol-
lowing label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving
devices provided that they are installed by a specialised
centre according to rules of good engineering practice in
compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on the
road if devices have been installed which modify the features
of the car. This may also cause invalidation of warranty in
relation to faults caused by the change or either directly
or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by
the installation of accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed in com-
pliance with the provided instructions.
RADIOTRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB
radios, amateur radio etc.) shall not be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the pas-
senger compartment (without a separate aerial) may cause
the vehicle electrical systems to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential
hazard for passengers’ health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.
As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is con-
cerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the instructions for
use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.

WINDOW BAGS fig. 146
(for versions/markets where provided)
These consist of two “curtain” cushions, one on the right
and the other on the left side of the car, located behind
the side coverings of the roof and covered by appropri-
ate finishings.
Window bags have been designed for protecting the head
of front and rear occupants in the event of a side-on col-
lision, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.

SIDE BAGS fig. 145
(for versions/markets where provided)
Front side airbags are housed in the seat backrests. They
consist of an instant-inflation bag designed to increase pro-
tection of the occupants’ chest and pelvis zone in the event
of a side-on crash of medium/high severity.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which may help you to save fu-
el and reduce the amount of toxic emissions released in-
to the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once every 4 weeks: if
the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as re-
sistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the car (especially when driving in town) and its arrange-
ment greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or ski rack from the roof after use.
These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration and
have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is better to
use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time need-
ed. The heated rear window, auxiliary headlights, wind-
screen wipers and fan heater use up a considerable amount
of current, causing increased fuel consumption (up to
+25% in the urban cycle).
Air conditioning
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). If the temperature outside is not too
extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect aero-
dynamics and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when the
vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to warm up more
slowly, thereby increasing fuel consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to set off immediately and slowly, avoiding high
revs: this allows the engine to warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when stationary at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. The latter action, like double de-
clutching, is entirely unnecessary and causes increased fu-
el consumption and pollution.

VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation, due
to rust, of any original element of the structure or body-
work.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to your War-
ranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but
also protects the underlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent
the formation of rust. Use only original paint products
for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate”
in the “Technical specifications” section).
Normal care for paintwork consists of washing the car;
how often depends on the conditions and environment
where the car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash
the car more often in areas with high atmospheric pollu-
tion or if you are travelling on gritted roads.
To wash the car properly, proceed as follows:
❒if taking your car through an automatic car wash, re-
move the aerial from the roof;
❒wash the body using a low-pressure jet of water;
❒use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;

❒rinse with plenty of water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the
door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where wa-
ter may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the car in the open for a while after washing it to give time
for the water to evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paint-
work.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as
the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees; the resinous
substances that fall off many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed off im-
mediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.
