Operation Manual

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case burden the electric supply, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides
suggesting the most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate the overall
electric consumption, checking whether the car's
electrical system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the car in the context of after-sales service must
carry the label (see fig. 74).
Fiat Auto S.p.A. 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 police may not allow the car on
the road if devices have been installed which modify
the features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused
by the change either directly or indirectly related
to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused
by the installation of accessories either not supplied
or recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the instructions
provided.
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 externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in
addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health. In addition, transmission and
reception of these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the car body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage instructions provided
by the mobile phone manufacturer.
