Operation Manual

VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European Standard EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to
the above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to come on and the irregular
operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel
conforming to the European Standard EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; place
the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch
pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then
turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON position
and wait for the
and warning lights
to switch off (diesel versions); turn the ignition
key to the AVV position and release it as soon as
the engine starts.
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 car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, 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 electric
system can support the required load.
CODE card
Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. Make sure
you have the electronic code written on the
CODE card with you at all times.
SCHEDULED SERVICING

ensuring that it maintains its performance and its
