IMPORTANT To minimize the possibili-
ty of catalyst or other vehicle damage:
❒Maintain the engine in the proper op-
erating condition.
❒In the event of an engine malfunction,
particularly one involving engine misfire
or other apparent loss of performance,
have the vehicle serviced promptly.
❒Do not turn off the engine or interrupt
the ignition when the transaxle is in
gear and the vehicle is in motion.
❒Do not try to start the engine by push-
ing or towing the vehicle, or coasting
down a hill.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
(if equipped - Petrol
Engine Model)
The purpose of the catalytic converter is
to minimize the amount of harmful pollu-
tants in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of
leaded fuel in vehicles equipped with cat-
alytic converters is prohibited, because
lead deactivates the pollutant- reducing
components of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life
of the vehicle under normal usage and
when unleaded fuel is used. No special
maintenance is required on the convert-
er. However, it is very important to keep
the engine properly tuned. Engine misfir-
ing, which can result from an improperly
tuned engine, may cause overheating of
the catalyst. This may result in permanent
heat damage to the catalyst and other ve-
hicle components.

RUNNING-IN
IMPORTANT The future performance
and reliability of the engine depends on the
care and restraint exercised during its ear-
ly life. It is especially important to observe
the following precautions during the initial
960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation.
❒After starting, do not race the engine.
Warm it up gradually.
❒Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a
constant speed. Moving parts will break
in better if you vary your speed.
❒Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full
throttle starts.
❒Avoid hard braking, especially during
the first 300 km (200 miles) of driving.
❒Do not drive slowly with the transaxle
in a high gear.
❒Drive the vehicle at moderate engine
speeds.
❒Do not tow a trailer during the first
960 km (600 miles) of vehicle opera-
tion.

the proper towing method for your vehi-
cle, and carefully follow the correspond-
ing instructions. Be sure to use proper
towing equipment designed for recre-
ational towing and make sure that tow-
ing speed does not exceed 90 km/ h (55
mph). Maximum vertical load on trailer

You should take extreme
care when working on your
vehicle to prevent accidental injury.
Here are a few precautions that you
should be especially careful to ob-
serve:
– To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system or
seat belt pretensioner system, be sure
the battery is disconnected and the
ignition switch has been in the
“LOCK” position for at least 90 sec-
onds before performing any electrical
service work on your Fiat. Do not
touch air bag system components,
seat belt pretensioner system com-
ponents or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the cou-
plers are yellow for easy identifica-
tion.
– Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
WARNING
– When the engine is run-
ning, keep hands, clothing,
tools, and other objects away from
the fan and drive belt. Even though
the fan may not be moving, it can au-
tomatically turn on without warning.
– When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is set ful-
ly and the transaxle is in Neutral (for
manual transaxle vehicles) or Park
(for automatic transaxle vehicles).
– Do not touch ignition wires or oth-
er ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is run-
ning, or you could receive an electric
shock.
– Be careful not to touch a hot en-
gine, exhaust manifold and pipes,
muffler, radiator and water hoses.
– Do not allow smoking, sparks, or
flames around gasoline or the bat-
tery. Flammable fumes are present.
– Do not get under your vehicle if it is
supported only with the portable jack
provided in your vehicle.
WARNING
– Be careful not to cause ac-
cidental short circuits be-
tween the positive and negative bat-
tery terminals.
– Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly; nev-
er pour them on the ground, into sew-
ers, etc.

Your vehicle is equipped with a battery
that requires infrequent maintenance. You
will never have to add water. You should,
however, periodically check the battery,
battery terminals and battery hold- down
bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion
using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with
water, or baking soda mixed with water.
After removing corrosion, rinse with clean
water.
The test indicator on the top of the bat-
tery provides information on the condi-
tion of the battery.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery
to help prevent discharge.
FUSES
Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as
described below:
Main fuse
The main fuse takes current directly from
the battery.
Primary fuses
These fuses are between the main fuse and
individual fuses, and are for electrical load
groups.
Individual fuses
These fuses are for individual electrical cir-
cuits.
FUSES IN THE ENGINE
COMPARTMENT
The main fuse, primary fuses and some of
the individual fuses are located in the en-
gine compartment. If the main fuse blows,
no electrical component will function. If
a primary fuse blows, no electrical com-
ponent in the corresponding load group
will function. When replacing the main
fuse, a primary fuse or an individual fuse,
use a genuine Fiat replacement.

BLOWN
If the main fuse or a primary
fuse blows, be sure to have
your vehicle inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership. Always use a
genuine Fiat replacement. Never use
a substitute such as a wire even for a
temporary repair, or extensive elec-
trical damage and a fire can result.

BULB REPLACEMENT
1.Fuse puller
The fuses are also located under the dri-
ver’s side of the dashboard. Remove the
fuse box lid by pulling it off. To remove a
fuse, use the fuse puller provided in the
fuse box. The amperage of each fuse is
shown on the top of the fuse box cover.
54G256
Always be sure to replace a
blown fuse with a fuse of the
correct amperage. Never use a sub-
stitute such as aluminum foil or wire
to replace a blown fuse. If you re-
place a fuse and the new one blows
in a short period of time, you may
have a major electrical problem.
Have your vehicle inspected imme-
diately by your Fiat Dealership.
WARNING

BLOWN
– Light bulbs can be hot
enough to burn your finger
right after being turned off. This is
true especially for halogen headlight
bulbs. Replace the bulbs after they
become cool enough.
– The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit or
dropped. Handle them carefully.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The oils from your skin may
cause a halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb
with a clean cloth.
IMPORTANT Frequent replacement of a
bulb indicates the need for an inspection
of the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your Fiat Dealership.
