RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio, etc.) cannot be used inside the car unless a
separate aerial is mounted on the roof of the vehicle.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile
phone Manufacturer.
IMPORTANT The use of such devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may, in addition to
potential damage to the health of the passengers, cause malfunctions in the vehicle’s electronic systems, compromising the
safety of the vehicle.

The safety devices complementary to
the front passenger seat belt have to be
activated.
Functioning defects
If the activation/deactivation system for
the front passenger air bags is not
functioning, you cannot install the child
restraint on the front seat with the head
facing rear. We advise you also not totravel with passengers seated there.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
100)The air bag system uses a
pyrotechnical principle, meaning that its
activation produces heat, emits smoke
(that does not mean fire) and generates an
explosive sound. Air bag deployment,
which should be immediate, can cause
skin injuries or other problems.
101)Do not attach any object (pins, logos,
watches, phone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel.
102)The steering wheel must not be
covered in any way.
103)Dismantling the steering wheel is
prohibited (except by a qualified Fiat
Dealership technician).
104)Do not drive to close to the steering
wheel: adopt a driving position with your
arms slightly bent. This position will ensure
a sufficient distance for the air bag to
deploy efficiently.
105)Do not glue anything (pins, logos,
watches, phone supports, etc.) to the
dashboard near the airbag.
106)Do not place anything (animals,
umbrella, cane, boxes, etc.) between the
dashboard and the passenger.
107)Do not rest your feet on the
dashboard or the seat: these positions
could cause serious injuries. In general,
keep all parts of the body (knees, hands,
head, etc.) away from the dashboard.108)The passenger air bag only protects
the side front seat passenger; the centre
front seat passenger is only protected by
the seat belt. We recommend you respect
normal safety regulations (fasten your seat
belt). There may be serious injuries in the
event of an accident.
109)The passenger airbag must be
activated/deactivated when the vehicle is
stationary. If deactivated while driving, the
andwarning lights turn on. To turn
these lights off, you need to deactivate
then reactivate the passenger air bag again
when the vehicle is stopped.
110)When the child restraint is no longer in
use, reactivate the front seat belt
complementary safety devices to ensure
front passenger protection in case of an
accident. Installing a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger is
prohibited until the front seat belt
complementary safety devices have been
deactivated (refer to the "Passenger side
airbag and child restraint systems – how to
deactivate the airbags" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
111)Because of the incompatibility of the
front passenger air bag deployment and
the positioning of a child seat facing
forward, NEVER INSTALL a child restraint
system facing backwards on a seat
equipped with FRONT AIRBAG
ACTIVATION. It could result in a CHILD'S
DEATH or could SERIOUSLY INJURE
him/her.

The electronic key might have dead
batteries
In the vicinity of a device functioning
on the same frequency (screen cell
phone, video games, etc.);
The vehicle is located in an area
known for a high presence of
electro-magnetic waves.
A message to this effect appears in the

142) 143)
23) 24)
Vehicles with an electronic key
The vehicle needs to be stopped.
With the electronic key in the reader 2
fig. 205 or in the detection area 3
fig. 206, press button 1 fig. 205: the
engine turns off. The steering wheel
lock locks when the driver's door opens
or when the vehicle is locked.
If the key is not in the passenger
compartment when you try to turn the
engine off, a dedicated message
appears on the instrument panel: press
button 1 fig. 205 for more than
2 seconds.After turning the engine off, a few
accessories still on (radio, etc.) continue
functioning for about 10 minutes.
When you open the driver's door, the
accessories turn off.
WARNING
138)Do not start the vehicle on an incline
with the gear in neutral. The power steering
might not activate. Risk of accident.
139)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
140)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
141)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
142)Do not remove the key from the
starter device or the electronic key from the
reader before effectively stopping the
vehicle; stopping the engine means
deleting various aids: When the engine is
stopped, the power brakes, power steering
and safety devices like the air bags and
pre-tensioners no longer work.
143)Especially when you leave the car
with the electronic key in your pocket,
make sure the engine is effectively
stopped.206T36626-1

necessary, see a doctor. Keep open
flames, incandescent items and sources of
sparks far from the battery's elements: risk
of explosion.201)When you intervene near the engine,

corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
203)Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and may
cause an explosion.
204)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
50)Since the battery is specific, you need
to make sure you replace it with its
equivalent. Consult a Fiat Dealership.
51)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. After purchasing
your vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (anti-theft, radio phone, etc.),
go to a Fiat Dealership, which will suggest
the most suitable devices and advise you
whether a higher capacity battery needs to
be installed.
52)If the vehicle will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery and
store it in a heated area to prevent it from
freezing.
