IMPORTANT The vehicle must only be
filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles,
in compliance with European Standard
EN590. The use of other products or mix-
tures may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due to
the damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fuel, do
not start the engine and empty the tank.
If the engine has been run even for only a
very short time, in addition to the tank,
it is also necessary to drain out the whole
fuel circuit.
IMPORTANT The fuel tank has an air
space to allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel after
the filler nozzle has automatically shut off
or an initial blowback occurs, the air
chamber will become full. Exposure to
heat when fully fuelled in this manner will
result in leakage due to fuel expansion. To
prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling af-
ter the filler nozzle has automatically shut
off, or when using an alternative non au-
tomatic system, initial vent blowback oc-
curs.
Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
Fiat CODE - Immobilizer System
(if equipped)
This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
which has an electronic identification code
programmed into it. The key communi-
cates the identification code to the vehi-
cle when the key is turned to the “ON”
position. If you need to make spare keys,
see your Fiat Dealership. The vehicle must
be programmed with the correct identi-
fication code for the spare keys. A key
made by an ordinary locksmith will not
work.
KEYS
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identi-
cal keys. One key can open all of the locks
on the vehicle. Keep the spare key in a safe
place.
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or
on the keys. Keep the tag (if equipped) in
a safe place. If you lose your keys, you will
need this number to have new keys made.
IMPORTANT All the keys and the metal
tag must be handed over to the new own-
er when selling the vehicle.

DRIVER’S SEAT BELT
REMINDER
When the driver doesn’t buckle his or her
seat belt, the driver’s seat belt reminder
light in the instrument cluster will come
on and a buzzer will sound as a reminder
to the driver to buckle his or her seat belt.
For more details, refer to the explanation
below.
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the reminder works as fol-
lows:
1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/ h, the driver’s seat belt
reminder light will blink and a buzzer
will sound for about 95 seconds.3) After step 2) has finished, the reminder
light will remain on until the driver’s
seat belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat
belt and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
step 1) or step 2) according to the vehi-
cle’s speed. When the vehicle’s speed is
below about 15 km/h, the reminder will
start from step 1). When the vehicle’s
speed is above about 15 km/h, the re-
minder will start from step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buck-
led or the ignition switch is turned off. To unfasten the belt, push the red
“PRESS” button on the buckle and allow
the belt to retract.

It is absolutely essential that
the driver and passengers
wear their seat belts at all times. Per-
sons who are not wearing seat belts
have a much greater risk of injury if
an accident occurs. Make a regular
habit of buckling your seat belt before
putting the key in the ignition.
