READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLINGPetrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228.
Diesel engines: refuel only with Diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINEVersions with manual gearbox (petrol engines):make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release the key as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual gearbox (Diesel engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off. Turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with automatic transmission(where present): make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking) or
N (Neutral), depress the brake pedal, without pressing the accelerator pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV or press the ignition device
button; release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.

37)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
38)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
39)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be used
as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.
PARKING THE
VEHICLE
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1stgear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANTNEVERleave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
before placing the gear lever at P).

111)For cars equipped with a front
armrest, lift it up to ensure that it does not
interfere with the action of the handbrake.MANUAL GEARBOX
112)
40)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram for
gear engagement is shown on the knob).
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
the ring 1 fig. 98 under the knob and at
the same time move the lever to the left
and then forwards.
To engage 6
thgear (if present), operate
the lever by pressing it towards the right
in order to avoid engaging 4
thgear by
mistake. The same applies to the shift
from 6
thto 5thgear.
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is completely
stationary. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do not
drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. In some
circumstances, the electronic clutch
control could cut in by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault.
WARNING
112)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
40)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
