Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best

different road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care
and maintenance of your Fiat Talento over time.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS / ALTERATIONS
WARNING
Any modification or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which
the occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
personnel will check whether the vehicle's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the following label:.
Fiat authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised centre, in a workmanlike
fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that involve modifications to the
features of the vehicle. This may also cause lapse of the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change or either directly or
indirectly related to it.
Fiat shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Fiat and/or
not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
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.

access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake or the brake pedal.
7)Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the

knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
