LSTHE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine locking systemwhich increases protection against at-tempted theft of the vehicle. It is auto-matically activated when the ignition keyis extracted.

Each time the vehicle is started turning theignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-tem control unit sends a recognition codeto the engine control unit to deactivatethe inhibitor.

If, during ignition, the code is not correctlyrecognized, a warning light Y is lit on theinstrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP andthen back to MAR. Try with the otherkeys provided if the problem persists. Ifthe engine will not start up after this op-eration, run the emergency start proce-dure (see chapter “In an emergency”) andthen contact the Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own codewhich must be stored by the system ECU.Contact the Fiat Dealership to have newkeys (up to eight) stored with the code.

THE WARNING LIGHT Y(or symbol on the display)GOES ON DURING TRAVEL

❒ If the warning light Y (or symbol on thedisplay) turns on, the system is runninga self-test (for example for a voltagedrop). The first time you stop the vehi-cle, turn the ignition key to STOP andthen to MAR. If no failure is detected,the warning light Y does not light up.

❒ If the warning lightY (or symbol onthe display) remains steadily lit, repeatthe procedure above leaving the key inthe STOP position for over 30 sec-onds. If the problem persists, contactthe Fiat Dealership.

❒ If the warning lightY (or symbol onthe display) stays on, the code is not ac-knowledged. In this case, return the keyto STOP and then to MAR; try withthe other keys provided if the problempersists. If the engine will not start upafter this operation, run the emergencystart procedure (see chapter “In anemergency”) and then contact the FiatDealership.

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attachednear or on some of the components ofyour vehicle. These labels bear symbolsthat draw your attention to the precau-tions required when handling the compo-nent in question.

The inner surface of the engine bonnetincludes a label with the different symbolsused.

The electronic componentsinside the key may be dam-aged if the key is subjected toviolent shocks.

LS DEAD LOCK SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)

The dead lock system is a safety devicewhich prevents door opening from insidethe passenger compartment in case of anattempted break-in (e.g.: window break-ing).

It is the best protection possible againstattempted break-ins. We recommend en-gaging it whenever the vehicle is parkedand left unattended.

Once the dead lock devicehas been engaged, doors

cannot be opened from the passen-ger compartment in any way. For thisreason, make sure there are no per-sons left inside the vehicle.

WARNING

If the battery of the key withremote control is down, the

dead lock device can be activated on-ly by fitting the metal insert of the keyin both front door revolving plugs asdescribed previously: in this case thedead lock device will stay engaged on-ly on the rear doors.

WARNING

Engaging the system

The system is automatically enabled on allthe doors by double-pressing the buttonÁ positioned on the key with the remotecontrol.

The system has been successfully enabledwhen the direction indicators flash twice.

The system is not enabled if one or morethan one door is not correctly locked.This prevents any person from getting in-to the vehicle from an open door, andlocks him/her inside the passenger com-partment when the door is closed.

Disengaging the system

The system is disabled automatically onevery door in the following cases:

❒ when unlocking the doors;

❒ when turning the ignition key to MAR.

LSALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)

In addition to all the remote control func-tions described above, an alarm has beeninstalled, which is controlled by a receiv-er unit located under the dashboard nearthe fuse box.

ALARM TRIPPING

The alarm trips in the following cases:

❒ when one of the doors or bonnet isopened illegitimately (perimeter pro-tection);

❒ when the ignition system is started up(ignition key rotated to MAR);

❒ when the battery cables are cut;

❒ when someone is moving inside thepassenger compartment (volumetricprotection);

❒ when the vehicle is unusually lift-ed/tilted.

Depending on the markets where the ve-hicle is sold, alarm tripping causes eithera siren or direction indicators to go on(for approx. 26 seconds). Alarm trippingand the number of cycles depend on thesales market.

Provision has been made for a maximumnumber of acoustic/visual cycles, afterwhich the system resumes its standardcontrol function.

Volumetric and anti-lift protections aredisabled by pressing the control button in-stalled on the front dashboard (see para-graph “Anti-lift protections).

IMPORTANT The engine stop function isguaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which is au-tomatically activated when the ignition keyis extracted from the starter device.

ENABLING THE ALARM

Keep the doors and bonnets closed andeither turn the ignition key to STOP orremove it. Direct the key with the remotecontrol towards the vehicle and press but-ton Á , then release it.

Excluding some versions for specific mar-kets, the system produces a sound warn-ing (beep) and enables door locking.

Before the alarm is enabled, a self-test isrun. If a failure is detected, the system pro-duces a new acoustic signal and shows amessage on the display (see section“Warning lights and messages”).

If this is the case, disable the alarm bypressing button Æ, check correct lockingof the doors, bonnet and boot, and enablethe alarm again by pressing button Á .

If a door or the bonnet is not correctlyclosed, it will be excluded from the test-ing by the alarm system.

If the alarm produces an acoustic signaleven when the doors, bonnet and bootare correctly closed, a failure has occurredin system operation. Go to a Fiat Dealer-ship.

IMPORTANT If the central door lockingsystem is engaged using the metal insertof the key, the alarm is not enabled.

IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is con-figured in compliance with the regulationsexisting in the different countries.

LS DISABLING THE ALARM

Press button Æ on the key with the re-mote control.

The following operations are performed(excluding some versions):

❒ the direction indicators turn on short-ly twice;

❒ two short beeps are produced by thewarning buzzer;

❒ the doors are unlocked.

IMPORTANT If the central door lockingsystem is engaged using the metal insertof the key, the alarm is not disabled.

VOLUME-SENSING/ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION

To ensure correct operation of the pro-tection, it is advisable to fully close the sidewindows.

If necessary, the function may be turnedoff (e.g. if animals are left in the car) bypressing key A-fig. 8, located on the frontcourtesy light before activating the alarm.

Function deactivation is indicated by theled located on the key flashing for a fewseconds. If the volume-sensing/anti-liftprotection is turned off, this must be re-peated whenever the instrument panel isturned off.

SIGNALS IN THE EVENT OF ATTEMPTED BREAK-INS

Whenever a break-in is attempted, awarning light Y (or symbol on the dis-play) starts blinking on the instrument pan-el (in some versions a message also ap-pears on the display - see section “Warn-ing lights and messages”).

DISABLING THE ALARM

To permanently disable the alarm (e.g.during prolonged vehicle shutdown), lockthe vehicle by turning the metal insert ofthe key in the door lock. In this case, thecar will not be protected by the alarm sy-stem, while the engine immobiliser func-tion is ensured by the Fiat CODE systemwhich is automatically activated when thekey is removed from the ignition switch.

IMPORTANT If the battery of the keywith the remote control goes down or thesystem fails, the alarm is disabled by plac-ing the key in the ignition system and ro-tating it to MAR.

fig. 9 F0T0039m

Never extract the key whilethe vehicle is moving. The

steering wheel would be locked assoon as the steering wheel is turned.This also applies to cases in which thevehicle is towed. Under no circum-stances should after-market opera-tions be carried out involving steeringsystem or steering column modifica-tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theftdevice) that could negatively affectperformance and safety, cause thelapse of the warranty and also resultin vehicle non-compliance with type-approval requirements.

WARNINGIGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 3 different po-sitions fig. 9:

❒ STOP: the engine is off, the key can beextracted, the steering is locked. Someelectrical devices (e.g. car radio, centraldoor locking system, alarm, etc.) are en-abled.

❒ MAR: driving position. All electrical de-vices work regularly.

❒ AVV: engine start.

The ignition device is fitted with a safetysystem that forces the driver to return theignition key to STOP before repeating thestarting operation, if the engine does notstart up.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engagement

When the key is at STOP, remove the keyand turn the steering wheel until it locks.

Disengagement

Rock the steering wheel slightly as youturn the ignition key to MAR.

INSTRUMENTS

Instrument background colour and typemay vary according to the version.

TACHOMETER (speed indicator) fig. 10

It shows the vehicle speed.

REV. COUNTER fig. 11

The rev counter shows the engine rpm.

IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-trol system gradually shuts off the flow offuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.

When the engine is idling, the rev countermay indicate a gradual or sudden increaseof the speed. This is normal and does notindicate a fault. It may be caused, for ex-ample, by the operation of the climatecontrol system or fan. In this case, a slowchange in engine speed is used to protectthe battery charge.

LSABS SYSTEM

The vehicle is fitted with an ABS brakingsystem, which prevents the wheels fromlocking when braking, makes the most ofroad grip and gives the best control whenemergency braking under difficult roadconditions.

The system is completed by EBD (Elec-tronic Braking Force Distribution), whichdistributes the braking action betweenfront and rear wheels.

IMPORTANT To achieve maximum effi-ciency of the braking system, a running-in period of about 500 km is required.During this time, avoid sudden, repeatedand prolonged braking.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

ABS failure

ABS failure is indicated by the turning onof warning light >on the instrument pan-el (together with the dedicated messageon the display in some versions) (see sec-tion “Warning lights and messages”).

In the case, the braking system preservesits efficiency, but cannot rely on the ex-tra potentials offered by the ABS system.Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-ership to have the system checked.

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

Intervention of the ABS is detected by aslight pulsing of the brake pedal accompa-nied by noise: such an event indicates thatyou need to adjust your speed to the typeof road on which you are travelling.

When the ABS cuts in, andyou feel the brake pedal pul-

sating, do not remove your foot, butkeep it pressed; in doing so you willstop in the shortest amount of spacepossible depending on the currentroad conditions.

WARNING

When the ABS trips, it meansthat you are approaching

the grip limit between tyres and road:slow down to exploit all the availablegrip.

WARNING

The ABS system exploits thetyre-road grip at best, but it

cannot improve it. Therefore, youshould take great care when drivingon slippery surfaces without takingunnecessary risks.

If warning light x only lightsup on the instrument panel

(with a message on the display insome versions), immediately stop thevehicle and go to the nearest FiatDealership. Leakage of hydraulic flu-id from the braking system jeopardis-es the functionality of the braking sys-tem, either of the conventional typeor with ABS.

WARNING

EBD failure

EBD failure is indicated by the turning onof warning lights> and x on the instru-ment panel (together with the dedicatedmessage on the display in some versions)(see section “Warning lights and mes-sages”).

In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealershipto have the system checked.

BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistanceintegral with ESP) (for versions/markets, where provided)

The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-ognizes emergency braking (on the groundof the brake pedal operation speed) andconsiderably increases the pressure in thebrake circuit thus supporting the driver toobtain prompt and effective braking.

Brake Assist is deactivated on the versionsequipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-tem failure (indicated by warning light áswitching on together with the messageon the multifunction display, for ver-sions/markets, where provided).

ESP SYSTEM (Electronic StabilityProgram) (for versions/markets, where provided)

The ESP system is an electronic systemcontrolling the car stability in the event oftyre grip loss.

The ESP system is therefore particularlyuseful when grip conditions of the road sur-faces changes.

In addition to the ESP system, ASR systemand Hill Holder,(for versions/markets,where provided) also the MSR system (ad-justing the engine braking torque) and theHBA system (improving the braking forceduring emergency braking) are provided.

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-ing light á on the instrument panel, to in-form the driver that the car is in criticalstability and grip conditions.

When the ABS cuts in, andyou feel the brake pedal pul-

sating, do not remove your foot, butkeep it pressed; in doing so you willstop in the shortest amount of spacepossible under the current road con-ditions.

LSESP SYSTEM ACTIVATION

The ESP system is automatically activat-ed when the car is started and cannot bede-activated.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of failure, the ESP system isautomatically disconnected, the warninglight á, comes on with fixed light on theinstrument panel, together with the mes-sage on the multifunction display (for ver-sions/markets, where provided) (see sec-tion “Warning lights and messages”) andwith the button led ASR OFF. In this casecontact a Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-sible.

Performance of the ESP sys-tem, in terms of active safe-

ty should not induce the driver to takepointless and unnecessary risks. Thestyle of driving must in any case al-ways be adapted to the conditions ofthe road surface, visibility and traffic.Road safety is always the driver’s re-sponsibility.

WARNING

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM

This system is an integral part of the ESPsystem and it is provided to facilitate start-ing on slopes.

It will activate automatically with the fol-lowing conditions:

❒ uphill: vehicle stationary on a road witha gradient of more than 5%, engine run-ning, brake pressed and gearbox in neu-tral or gear other than reverse engaged;

❒ downhill: vehicle stationary on a roadwith a gradient of more than 5%, enginerunning, brake pressed and reverse gearengaged.

At pickup the ESP system control unit willkeep brake force on wheels until reachingthe torque suitable for starting, or in anycase for max. 2 seconds in order to passeasily from the brake pedal to the accel-erator pedal.

After two seconds without starting, thesystem will deactivate automatically by re-leasing gradually the brake force.

At releasing, the typical brake disengage-ment noise indicating that the car is go-ing to move will be heard.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

System failure is indicated by the turningon of warning light * on the instrumentpanel with digital display and warning lightá on the instrument panel with multi-function display (for versions/markets,where provided) (see section “Warninglights and messages”).

IMPORANT The Hill Holder system is nota parking brake therefore, never leave thecar without having engaged the handbrake,turned the engine off and engaged the firstspeed.

For correct operation of theESP and ASR systems, the

tyres must absolutely be of the samebrand and type on all wheels, in per-fect conditions and, above all, oftype, brand and size specified.

MSR system (engine brakingtorque control)

It is an integral part of the ASR system thatin case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-viding torque to the engine thus prevent-ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-cially in poor grip conditions, can lead toloss of stability.

Switching system on/off The ASR system switches on automaticallyeach time the engine is started. When travelling, the ASR can be switchedoff and on again pressing button A-fig. 101 set on the dashboard.

When the ASR is switched off this isshown by the lighting up of the led on thebutton and by relevant message on themultifunction display, for versions/mar-kets, where provided.If the ASR is switched off when travelling,it will turn on again automatically the nexttime the engine is started.When travelling on snowy roads withsnow chains, it may be helpful to turn theASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-ping of the driving wheels when moving offmakes it possible to obtain better drive.

For correct operation of theESP and ASR systems, the

tyres must absolutely be of the samebrand and type on all wheels, in per-fect conditions and, above all, oftype, brand and size specified.

WARNING

fig. 101 F0T0317m

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)

The ASR function controls car drive andcuts in automatically every time one orboth driving wheels slip.

According to slipping conditions, two dif-ferent control systems are activated:

❒ if slipping involves both driving wheels,the ASR function intervenes reducingthe power transmitted by the engine;

❒ if the slipping involves only one drivingwheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-matically braking the wheel that is slip-ping.

The action of the ASR is particularly help-ful in the following circumstances:

❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to theeffect of dynamic load changes or ex-cessive acceleration;

❒ too much power transmitted to thewheels also in relation to the conditionsof the road surface;

❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy orfrozen surfaces;

❒ in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-face (aquaplaning).

WARNING

For correct operation of the ASR system,the tyres must absolutely be of the samebrand and type on all wheels, in perfectconditions and, above all, of type, brandand size specified.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of malfunctioning, the ASRsystem is automatically disconnected andthe warning light á will come with fixedlight on the instrument panel togetherwith the message on the multifunction dis-play, for versions/markets, where provid-ed, (see section “Warning lights and mes-sages”). In this case contact Fiat Dealer-ship as soon as possible.

TRACTION PLUSSYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)

Traction Plus is a help with driving and set-ting off in poor grip conditions (snow, ice,mud, etc.) which allows the drive force tobe evenly distributed over the same axlewhen both wheels are slipping.

In effect, Traction Plus acts by braking thewheels with poor grip (or those slippingmore than the others), thereby transfer-ring the drive force to those which havemore grip on the ground.

This function can be turned on manuallyby pressing the T+ button located in thedashboard (fig. 102) and operates

below a threshold of 30 km/h. When thisspeed is exceeded, it is automatically deac-tivated (the LED in the button remains on)and it is reactivated as soon as the speedgoes below the level of 30 km/h.

Traction Plus operation

The system is deactivated when startingup. To activate the Traction Plus system,press the T+ button (fig. 102): the LEDin the button will come on.

The activation of the Traction Plus systeminvolves the following functions being swit-ched on:

❒ inhibition of the ASR function, in orderto fully exploit the engine torque;

❒ differential lock effect on the front ax-le, via the braking system, to improvedrive on uneven surfaces.

If this is a problem with the Traction Plussystem the warning light á in the instru-ment panel will come on constantly.

To activate/deactivate this function, go toa Fiat Dealership.

After the operation a label (fig. 103) willbe stuck on the windscreen containing themaximum set speed.

WARNING The speedometer may showa top speed that is higher than the actualone set by the Dealership as provided forby legislation.

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD system (European On BoardDiagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis ofemission-related components of the vehi-cle. It also alerts the driver, by switchingon of the warning light U on the instru-ment panel (together with relevant mes-sage on the display in some versions)when these components are no longer inpeak conditions (see section “Warninglights and messages”).

The objective of this system is:

❒ to keep the system efficiency undercontrol;

❒ to warn about increased emissions dueto a vehicle malfunction;

❒ to warn of the need to replace deteri-orated components.

The system also has a diagnostic connectorthat can be interfaced with appropriatetools, which makes it possible to read theerror codes stored in the control unit to-gether with a series of specific parametersfor engine operation and diagnosis.

This check can also be carried out by thetraffic police.

IMPORTANT After eliminating the prob-lem, to check the system completely, Fi-at Dealerships are obliged to run a benchtest and, if necessary, road tests whichmay also call for a long journey.

Go to a Fiat Dealership assoon as possible if warning

light Udoes not light up when thekey is turned to MAR or if, duringtravel, the warning light comes on ei-ther steady or blinking (along with amessage on the display). The opera-tion of the warning light U may bechecked by the traffic police usingspecific devices. Follow the laws inforce in the country where you aredriving.

LSDIESEL ENGINES

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low, thediesel thickens due to the formation ofparaffin clots with consequent anomalousoperation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems, differenttypes of diesel are distributed according tothe season: summer type, winter type andarctic type (cold, mountain areas). If refu-elling with diesel fuel whose features are notsuitable to the temperature of use, it is ad-visable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART addi-tive in the proportions shown on the con-tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive in-to the tank before the fuel.

When using or parking the vehicle for along time in the mountains or cold areas,it is advisable to refuel using locally avail-able fuel.

In this case, it is also advisable to keep thetank over 50% full.

For diesel engines, use dieselfuel for motor vehicles com-pliant with EN590 Europeanspecifications only. The use of

other products or mixtures may dam-age the engine beyond repair and con-sequently cause lapse of warranty inrelation to the damage caused. If youaccidentally introduce other types offuel in the tank, do not start the engineand empty the tank. If the engine hasrun also for a very short time, you willneed to have the entire fuel feed sys-tem emptied in addition to the tank.

REFUELLING CAPACITY

To fill the tank completely, top-up twiceafter the pump switches off. Further top-ups could cause faults in the fuel feedingsystem.

LS ENVIRONMENTALPROTECTION

The devices for curtailing petrol engineemissions are the following:

❒ three-way catalytic converter;

❒ Lambda sensors;

❒ fuel evaporation prevention system.

In addition, do not let the engine run, evenfor a test, with one or more spark plugsdisconnected.

The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-gine emissions are the following:

❒ oxidising catalytic converter;

❒ exhaust gas recirculation system(E.G.R.);

❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-sions/markets, where provided).

Do not place free flames or litcigarettes near to the fuelfiller: this may pose a risk offire. Keep your face away

from the fuel filler to prevent breath-ing in harmful vapours.

DIESEL PARTICULATEFILTER DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter)(for versions/markets, where provided)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-ical filter integral with the exhaust systemthat physically traps carbon particles pre-sent in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.

The diesel particulate filter has beenadopted to eliminate particulates almosttotally in compliance with current / futurelaw regulations. During normal use of thevehicle, the engine control unit records aset of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route,temperatures, etc.) and it will then calcu-late the amount of particles trapped by thefilter.

Since this filter physically traps particulates,it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regularintervals by burning carbon particles. Theregeneration procedure is controlled au-tomatically by the engine control unit ac-cording to the filter conditions and theconditions of use of the vehicle.

During the regeneration procedure, thefollowing situations may occur: limited in-crease of idle speed, activation of electricfan, limited increase of smoke, high tem-peratures at the exhaust. These eventsmust not be considered as a malfunction-ing: they do not impair vehicle behaviourand the environment. If the dedicatedmessage is displayed, refer to section“Warning lights and messages”.

Closing

1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turnit clockwise until it clicks once or more.

2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,then close the flap.

The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-crease in pressure in the tank. A suctionnoise when you release the cap is there-fore entirely normal.

PRETENSIONERS

To increase the efficiency of the front seatbelts, the vehicle is fitted with pretensio-ners. These devices, in the event of a vio-lent front and side crash, rewind the seatbelts a few centimetres. In this way theyensure that the seat belt perfectly adhe-res to the wearer before the restrainingaction begins.

The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-vice has tripped; the seat belt cannot bedrawn back up even when guiding it ma-nually.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-gree of protection from the action of thepretensioning device, wear the seat beltkeeping it firmly close to the chest and pel-vis.

A small amount of smoke may be produ-ced. This smoke is in no way toxic andpresents no fire hazard.

The pretensioner can only beused once. Go to a Fiat Dea-

lership to have it replaced after is hasbeen deployed. The expiration dateof the device is shown on the label inthe oddment compartment. Refer tothe FIAT Dealership when it is time toreplace the device.

WARNING

Operations which lead toknocks, vibrations or localisedheating (over 100°C for amaximum of 6 hours) in the

area around the pretensioners maycause damage or trigger them. Thesedevices are not affected by vibrationscaused by irregularities of the road sur-face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.Contact a Fiat Dealership for any as-sistance.

The pretensioner does not require anymaintenance or greasing. Anything that mo-difies its original conditions invalidates itsefficiency. If due to unusual natural events(floods, sea storms, etc.) the device hasbeen affected by water and mud, it mustnecessarily be replaced.

LOAD LIMITERS (for versions/markets, where provided)

To increase passengers’ safety in the eventof an accident, the front and rear seat beltreels (for versions/markets, where pro-vided) have been provided with a load li-miter which allows controlled sag in sucha way as to dose the force acting on thechest and shoulders during the belt re-straining action in the event of a front cra-sh.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respecting(and ensuring that all the other vehiclepassengers also respect) the local laws inforce regarding the use of seat belts.Always fasten the seat belts before star-ting off.

Seat belts must also be worn by pregnantwomen: wearing the seat belt significan-tly reduces the risk for both the expectantmother and the baby in the event of an ac-cident. Pregnant women must position thelower part of the belt very low down sothat it passes under the abdomen (see fig. 4).

IMPORTANT The belt must not be twi-sted. The upper part must cross the shoul-der and the chest diagonally. The lowerpart must fit the hips (as shown in fig. 5)rather than the abdomen of the passen-ger. Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to holdthe seat belt away from your body.

IMPORTANT Each seat belt may only beused by a single person: do not carry chil-dren on your lap with one seat belt pro-tecting both fig. 6. In general, do not pla-ce any objects between the person andthe belt.

fig. 6 F0T0005m

If the belt has been subjectedto heavy stress, for example

after an accident, it should be chan-ged completely together with the an-chors, anchor fastening screws andthe pretensioners. In fact, even if thebelt has no visible defects, it could ha-ve lost its resilience.

WARNING

SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE

Observe the following:

❒ always use the belt with the tap wellstretched and never twisted; make su-re that it is free to run without impe-diments;

❒ replace the belt after an accident of acertain severity even if it does not ap-pear damaged. Always replace the beltif the pretensioners were deployed.

❒ To clean the belt, wash by hand withwater and mild soap, rinse and leave todry in the shade. Do not use strong de-tergents, bleach, paints or any othersubstance which could damage the beltfibres.

❒ Keep the reels dry: correct operationmay only be ensured if the reels are dry.

❒ Replace the seat belt when showing si-gnificant wear or cut signs.

For maximum safety, keepthe back of your seat upri-

ght, lean back into it and make surethe seat belt fits closely across yourchest and hips. Always fasten the seatbelts on both the front and the rearseats. Travelling without seat belts fa-stened increases the risk of seriousinjuries or even death in the event ofa crash.Under no circumstances should theseat belt and pretensioner compo-nents be removed or tampered with.All interventions must be performedby qualified and authorised person-nel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealer-ship.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY

For optimal protection in the event of acrash, all passengers must be seated andwear adequate restraint systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all ECcountries according to EC Directive2003/20/EC.

A child’s head is larger and heavier in pro-portion to his/her body and the child’s mu-scular and bone structures are not fullydeveloped. For this reason, they requirerestraint systems which are different fromthose used by adults to protect them inthe event of an accident.

The research results in relation to the be-st protection for children is illustrated inEuropean standard CEE-R44 which divi-des the restraint systems into five groupsin addition to making their use compul-sory:

Group 0 = up to 10 kg in weight

Group 0+ = up to 13 kg in weight

Group 1 = 9-18 kg in weight



As it may be noted, the groups overlappartly and, in fact, in commerce it is pos-sible to find devices that cover more thanone weight group.

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data along with the control markon a label that must be firmly secured tothe child seat and must never be removed.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the point ofview of restraint systems, children areconsidered as adults and have to wear thestandard seat belts.

Lineaccessori Fiat includes child restraintsystems for each weight group. These de-vices are recommended as they have beenspecifically designed for Fiat cars/vehicles.

SEVERE DANGER: Do notarrange child seats facingbackwards on the front seatif the passenger’s airbag is on.Deployment of the airbag in

the event of a shock could cause fa-tal injuries to the baby. It is advisableto carry children on the rear seat,which is the most protected positionin the event of an accident. Childseats must not be fitted on the frontseat of vehicles provided with a pas-senger’s airbag, whose deployment inan accident could cause fatal injuriesto the baby regardless of how severethe shock causing airbag deploymentis. If necessary, children can sit on thefront seat in vehicles where the pas-senger’s airbag can be disabled. Verifythat the airbag is actually deactiva-ted, observing the warning light “ onthe dashboard (see “Front airbag -passenger’s side” in paragraph “Frontairbags”). Move the passenger’s seatas far back as possible to avoid con-tact between the child seat and thedashboard.

WARNING

GROUP 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facingbackwards on a cradle seat, which, sup-porting the head, does not induce stresson the neck in the event of sharp decele-ration.

The cradle is restrained by the vehicle seatbelts, as shown in fig. 7 and in turn it mu-st restrain the child with its own belts.

GROUP 1

From 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children maybe carried facing forwards seated on childseats fitted with a front cushion. With the-se seats the vehicle seat belt is used to re-strain both child and seat, fig. 8.

Below is a summary of the safety ru-les to be followed for carrying chil-dren.

❒ Install the child seats on the rear seat,which is the most protected position inthe event of an accident.

❒ If the passenger’s airbag is deactivated,always check the warning light “on theinstrument panel to make sure that ithas actually been deactivated.

❒ Carefully follow the instructions sup-plied with the child restraint systemwhich are mandatory by law. Keep theinstructions in the vehicle along withthe other papers and this handbook. Donot use child seats without instructions.

❒ Always check the seat belt is well fa-stened by pulling the belt.

❒ Only one child is to be strapped to ea-ch retaining system.

❒ Always check the seat belts do not fitaround the child’s throat.

❒ While travelling, do not let the child sitincorrectly or release the belts.

❒ Never carry children on your lap, evennewborns. No-one can hold a child inthe event of an accident.

❒ In the event of an accident, replace thechild’s seat with a new one.

Do not arrange child seats onthe front seat in vehicles fit-

ted with a passenger’s airbag. Chil-dren must never travel on the frontseat.

WARNING

ISOFIX CHILDRESTRAINTASSEMBLY SETUP(for versions/markets, where provided)

Provision has been made on the vehiclefor mounting a Universal Isofix child re-straint system, a new European standar-dised system for carrying children safely.

Isofix systems can be mounted simulta-neously with a traditional restraint system.

An example of child seat is shown in fig. 11. The Universal Isofix child seat co-vers weight group: 1.

The other weight groups are covered byspecific Isofix child seats, which can beused only if specifically designed, testedand type-approved for this vehicle (seevehicle list provided with the child seat).

FRONT AIRBAGS

The vehicle is provided with front airbagsfor the driver and the passenger (for ver-sions/markets, where provided).

FRONT AIRBAGS

The front airbags on both the driver’s andpassenger’s side (for versions/markets,where provided) have been designed toprotect the occupants in the event ofhead-on crashes of medium-high severity,by placing the bag between the occupantand the steering wheel or dashboard.

Non-deployment of the airbags in othertypes of collisions (side collisions, rearshunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not necessa-rily indicate a system malfunction.

An electronic control unit causes the bagto inflate in the event of a front crash.

The bag will inflate instantaneously placingitself between the front occupant’s bodyand the structures which could causeinjury. It will deflate immediately af-terwards.

Driver and passenger front airbags (forversions/markets, where provided) arenot a replacement of, but complementaryto, the seat belts, which you are recom-mended to always wear as specified by lawin Europe and most non-European coun-tries.

In the event of a collision, a person notwearing the seat belt may be thrownforward and come into contact with thebag before it has fully opened. The pro-tection offered by the bag is reduced in su-ch a case.

Front airbags may not be activated in thefollowing situations:

❒ in front collisions against highly defor-mable objects which do not affect thefront surface of the vehicle (e.g. bum-per collision against guard rail, etc.);

❒ vehicle penetration under other vehi-cles or protective barriers (e.g. trucksor guard rails);

they could not provide any additional pro-tection compared with seat belts, so theirdeployment would be improper. In thesecases non-deployment of the airbag doesnot necessarily indicate a system malfunc-tion.

Do not apply stickers orother objects on the steering

wheel, on the dashboard (in passen-ger side airbag area) and on the seats.Do not place objects (e.g. cell pho-nes) on the passenger’s side dash-board because these could interferewith correct deployment of the pas-senger’s airbag and cause severeinjury to vehicle occupants.

WARNING

The front airbags on the driver’s and pas-senger’s sides are designed and calibratedto protect the front seat passengers whowear safety belts.

The volume of the front airbags at max.inflation fills most of the space betweenthe steering wheel and the driver andbetween the dashboard and the passen-ger.

The airbags are not deployed in the eventof front collisions of low severity (for whi-ch the withholding action of the seat beltsis sufficient). Safety belts must always beworn. In the event of a front crash theyensure the correct positioning of the oc-cupant.

FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER’S SIDE fig. 15(for versions/markets, where provided)

It consists of an instant-inflating bag con-tained into a special recess in the dash-board: this bag has a bigger volume thanthat of the driver.

Do not arrange child seats fa-cing backwards if the passen-ger’s front airbag is on. De-ployment of the airbag in theevent of an accident could

cause fatal injuries to the baby. Alwaysdeactivate the passenger’s airbagwhen placing a child seat on the frontseat. Move the passenger’s seat as farback as possible to avoid contactbetween the child seat and the dash-board. Although this is not mandatoryby law, the airbag should be imme-diately reactivated when children areno longer carried to ensure better pro-tection to adults.

WARNING

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF FRONT AIRBAG ONPASSENGER’S SIDE AND SIDEBAG FOR BREAST/PELVISPROTECTION(for versions/markets, where provided)

Whenever a child needs to be carried onthe front seat, the passenger’s front airbagand the Side Bag for breast and pelvis pro-tection (for versions/markets, where pro-vided) must be deactivated.

The warning light “on the instrument pa-nel stays on steady until reactivating thepassenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag(for versions/markets, where provided).

SIDE BAGS (for versions/markets, where provided)

Some versions have front side bags onboth the driver’s and passenger’s sides.

Side bags protect vehicle occupants fromside crashes of medium-high severity, byplacing the bag between the occupant andthe internal parts of the side structure ofthe vehicle.

Non-deployment of side bags in other ty-pes of collisions (front collisions, rearshunts, roll-overs, etc...) does not neces-sarily indicate a system malfunction.

An electronic control unit causes the bagsto inflate in the event of a frontal crash.The bags inflate instantaneously placingthemselves between the front occupant’sbody and the structures which could cau-se injury. They deflate immediately af-terwards.

Side bags are not a replacement of, butcomplementary to, the seat belts, whichyou are always recommended to wear, asspecified by law in Europe and in mostnon-European countries.

For this reason, the seat belt must beworn at all times. During side collisionsthe seat belts hold the occupant in thecorrect position and prevent ejectionfrom the vehicle during very violent colli-sions.

SIDE BAGS fig. 16 (for versions/markets, where provided)

It consists of an instant-inflating bag hou-sed in the front seat backrest. It protectsthe chest and the hips of the passengersin the event of side crashes of medium-hi-gh severity.

IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash,the system provides best protection if thepassenger sits on the seat in a correct po-sition, thus allowing correct side bag de-ployment.

IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats withwater or pressurised steam (by hand or atautomatic seat washing stations).

If the vehicle is scrapped, have the airbagsystem deactivated at a Fiat Dealership fir-st. If the vehicle is sold to a new owner, thenew owner must be informed on how theairbags work along with the above war-nings, and also be given this “Owner Hand-book”.

Pretensioners, front airbags and front si-de bags are deployed differently accordingto the type of collision. Non-deploymentof one of these devices does not therefo-re indicate a system fault.

If the warning light ¬ doesnot turn on or if it stays on

when travelling (together with themessage on the multifunctional di-splay, where provided) when turningthe key to MAR, there could be a fai-lure in the restraint systems. If this isthe case, the airbags or pretensionersdo not trigger in the event of an im-pact or, in a minor number of cases,they may trigger accidentally. Do notdrive the vehicle and contact a FiatDealership to have the system imme-diately checked.

WARNING

The expiry dates of the py-rotechnic charge and spiral

contact are shown in the plate in-stalled inside the oddment compart-ment. When these dates are near, goto the Fiat Dealership for replace-ment of these components.

WARNING

Do not travel holding objectson your lap, opposite the

breast, holding a pipe, pencil, etc. inyour lips. Airbag deployment after acollision could cause serious dama-ge/injury.

WARNING

GENERAL WARNINGS

The front airbags and/or side bags (for ver-sions/markets, where provided) are de-ployed also if the vehicle is subject tostrong collisions involving the underbodyarea, such as violent shocks against steps,kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the vehi-cle in big holes or sags in the road.

A small amount of dust will be releasedwhen the airbags are deployed. The dustis not harmful and does not indicate thebeginning of a fire. Furthermore, the sur-face of the deployed bag and the interiorof the vehicle may be covered with resi-dual dust. This dust may irritate the skinand the eyes. Wash with mild soap and wa-ter in the event of exposure.

Should an accident occur in which any ofthe safety devices is activated, take thevehicle to a Fiat Dealership to have the de-ployed devices replaced and to have thesystem integrity checked.

All checking, repair and replacement ope-rations concerning the airbags must onlybe carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.

When the ignition key is tur-ned to MAR, the warning li-

ght ¬ turns on (front airbag on pas-senger’s side enabled) and blinks fora few seconds to remind that the pas-senger airbag will activate in theevent of a collision. Then it turns off.

WARNING

The front airbags deploy inthe event of more severe col-

lisions than those required for de-ploying the pretensioners. When theshock is within the two deploymentthresholds, it is normal that preten-sioners only are engaged.

WARNING

The airbag does not replaceseat belts, but increases their

efficiency. Furthermore, since frontairbags are not deployed after lowspeed collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-overs, the vehicleoccupants are only protected by theseat belts, which must be fastened atall times.

WARNINGWhen the ignition key is inand turned in the MAR posi-

tion and the engine is off, the airbagsmay deploy if the vehicle is crashed byanother moving vehicle. For this rea-son, children must never sit on thefront seat, even if the vehicle is notmoving. We remind you that if the keyis inserted and turned in the STOP po-sition, no safety device (airbag or pre-tensioner) activates following a colli-sion. Non-deployment in such casesmust not be considered as the sign ofa malfunction.

WARNING

If the vehicle is stolen or anattempt is made to steal it, if

it is subject to criminal attacks orflooding, have the airbag systemchecked by the Fiat Dealership.

GENGINE STARTING

The vehicle is provided with an electron-ic engine lock device: refer to “The FiatCODE system” paragraph in the section“Dashboard and controls” if the enginewill not start.

The engine may be noisier during the firstseconds of operation, particularly after along period of inactivity. This does not im-pair engine operation and reliability, and istypical of hydraulic tappets: the distribu-tion system for the petrol engine of yourvehicle has been selected to minimisemaintenance.

ENGINE START-UPPROCEDURE FOR PETROL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒ ensure that the handbrake is up;

❒ put the gear lever into neutral;

❒ press the clutch pedal all the way downwithout touching the accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV and let itgo the moment the engine starts.

If the engine does not start at the first at-tempt, return the ignition key to STOPbefore repeating starting.

If with the ignition key on MAR the warn-ing light Y remains lit together withwarning light U, turn the key to STOPand then back to MAR; if the warning lightremains on, try with the other keys pro-vided with the vehicle.

If the engine still will not start, perform anemergency start (see “Emergency start”in section “In an emergency”) and thencontact a Fiat Dealership.

It is advisable not to demandmaximum performance fromyour vehicle (e.g. excessiveaccelerations, long distances

at top rpm, excessive intense braking,etc.) as soon as the engine is started.

When the engine is switchedoff, never leave the ignitionkey in the MAR position toprevent pointless current ab-

sorption from draining the battery.

Remember that the servo-brake and electric power

steering are not operational until theengine is started. Therefore, more ef-fort than usual is required on thebrake pedal and steering wheel.

WARNING

It is dangerous to have theengine running indoors. The

engine depletes oxygen and dis-charges carbon dioxide, carbonmonoxide and other toxic gases.

ENGINE START-UPPROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒ ensure that the handbrake is up;

❒ put the gear lever into neutral;

❒ turn the ignition key to MAR: thewarning light m will come on in theinstrument panel.

❒ wait until the warning lights Y and mturn off. The hotter the engine, thequicker this will happen;

❒ press the clutch pedal all the way downwithout touching the accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV as soonas the warning light m turns off. Wait-ing too long will waste the work doneby the glow plugs.

Release the key as soon as the enginestarts.

IMPORTANT When the engine is cold,rotate the ignition key to AVV to com-pletely release the accelerator pedal.

If the engine does not start at the first at-tempt, return the ignition key to STOPbefore repeating starting.

If with the ignition key on MAR, the in-strument panel warning light Y remainson, turn the key to STOP and then backto MAR; if the warning light remains on,try with the other keys provided with thevehicle.

Contact the Fiat Dealership if the enginestill will not start.

The warning light m blinksfor 60 seconds after startingor during prolonged crankingto indicate a fault to the glow

plug heating system. Use the vehiclenormally if the engine starts, but con-tact the Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-sible.

WARMING THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AFTERSTART-UP

Proceed as follows:

❒ drive off slowly, letting the engine turnat medium speed. Do not accelerateabruptly;

❒ do not demand maximum performancefor the first few kilometres. Wait untilthe engine coolant gauge starts moving.

EMERGENCY START

Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if aninstrument panel warning lightY aremainson constantly.

Never jump start the engineby pushing, towing or drivingdownhill. This could cause aflow of fuel into the catalyt-

ic converter and damage it beyond re-pair.

GHANDBRAKE

The handbrake lever is located betweenthe two front seats.

Pull the lever upwards until the vehicle isblocked to operate the handbrake.

When the handbrake lever is pulled upand the ignition key is on MAR, the in-strument panel warning light x will turnon.

Proceed as follows to release the hand-brake:

❒ slightly lift the handbrake and press therelease button A-fig. 1;

❒ hold button A pressed and lower thelever. Warning light x on the instru-ment panel will go out.

Press the brake pedal when carrying outthis operation to prevent the vehicle frommoving accidentally.

PARKING THE VEHICLE

Proceed as follows:

❒ stop the engine and engage the hand-brake;

❒ engage a gear (on a slope, engage firstgear if the vehicle faces uphill or reverseif it faces downhill) and leave the wheelssteered.

If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope,it is advisable to further block the wheelswith a wedge or stone.

Do not leave the ignition key on MAR toprevent draining the battery. Always re-move the key when you leave the vehi-cle.

Never leave children unattended in the ve-hicle. Always remove the ignition keywhen leaving the vehicle and take it outwith you.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Turn the ignition to STOP while the en-gine is idling.

IMPORTANT After a demanding dri-ve, you should allow the engine to “catchits breath” before turning it off by lettingit idle to allow the temperature in the en-gine compartment to fall.

A quick burst on the acceler-ator before turning off the en-gine serves absolutely nopractical purpose, it wastes

fuel and is damaging especially to tur-bocharged engines.

USING THE GEARBOX

To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-al fully and shift the gear lever A-fig. 2into one of the required positions (the di-agram is shown on the knob fig. 2).

IMPORTANT Reverse may only be en-gaged when the vehicle is at a standstill.With the engine running, wait for at least2 seconds with the clutch pedal fullypressed before engaging reverse to pre-vent damage to the gears and grating.

fig. 2 F0T0055m

Press the clutch pedal fullyto shift the gears correctly.

For this reason, there must be no ob-stacles on the floor under the pedals:make sure that the mats are alwaysflat and do not interfere with the ped-als.

WARNING

Do not drive with your handresting on the gear lever asthe force exerted, even ifslight, could lead to prema-

ture wear on the gearbox internal com-ponents over time. The clutch pedalmust be used for gear shift only. Nev-er drive with the foot resting, even ifslightly, on the clutch pedal. For ver-sions/markets, where provided, theclutch pedal control electronics can in-tervene interpreting the wrong drivestyle as a fault.

GCONTAININGRUNNING COSTS

Here are some useful tips to save fuel andminimize polluting emissions of CO2 andother pollutants (nitric oxide, unburnt hy-drocarbons, fine dusts etc…).

GENERAL REMARKS

Vehicle maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carried outin accordance with the “Scheduled ServicePlan”.

Tyres

Check tyre pressure regularly at leastonce every four weeks: excessively lowpressure will increase consumption be-cause rolling resistance will be higher.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with an overloaded boot.The weight of the vehicle (especially whendriving in town) and its trim greatly affectfuel consumption and stability.

Roof rack/ski rack

Remove the roof rack or the ski rack fromthe roof after use. These accessories de-crease aerodynamic penetration of the ve-hicle and have a negative effect on fuelconsumption. It is better to use a trailerto transport particularly bulky objects.

Electric devices

Use electric devices only for the amountof time needed. The rear heated window,additional headlights, windscreen wipersand heater fan need a considerableamount of energy, therefore increasing fu-el consumption (up to +25% in the urbancycle).

Climate control

The climate control system leads to high-er fuel consumption (up to +20% on av-erage): use air vents only when the ex-ternal temperature allows it.

Spoilers

The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-versely affect air drag and fuel consump-tion levels.

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine up with the ve-hicle running at min. or max. rpm: the en-gine warms up very slowly in these con-ditions, increasing consumption and emis-sions. It is advisable to start off immedi-ately and slowly keeping the engine speeddown: the engine will warm up muchfaster this way.

Unnecessary manoeuvres

Avoid revving up when starting at trafficlights or before stopping the engine. Thelatter manoeuvre, like doubling the clutch,is unnecessary and causes increased fuelconsumption and pollution.

Gear selection

Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and roadconditions allow. Using a low gear for fasteracceleration will increase consumption.

In the same way improper use of a high gearincreases fuel consumption, emissions andengine wear.

Top speed

Fuel consumption considerably increases asspeed increases. Keep your speed as uni-form as possible, avoiding unnecessarybraking and acceleration which cause ex-cessive fuel consumption and increase emis-sions.

Acceleration

Sudden acceleration has a very negativeeffect on consumptions and emissions: ac-celerate gradually.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will prevent the engine from reach-ing optimal running temperature.

Consequently, both consumption (from+15 to +30% on urban cycle ) and emis-sions will increase.

Traffic and road conditions

Quite high consumption is caused byheavy traffic, for instance when travellingin a queue with frequent use of low gearsor in cities with many traffic lights. Moun-tain and rough roads also have a negativeeffect on consumption.

Traffic hold-ups

During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level cross-ings) the engine should be switched off.

GTOWING TRAILERS

IMPORTANT NOTES

The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved tow hitch and adequate electri-cal system to tow caravans or trailers. In-stallation must be performed by specialisedpersonnel who will issue the required pa-pers for travelling on roads.

Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors as specified by law.

Remember that when towing a trailer,steep hills are harder to climb, the brakingspaces increase and overtaking takes longerdepending on the overall weight of the trail-er.

Engage a low gear when driving downhill,rather than constantly using the brake.

The ABS with which the ve-hicle may be equipped will

not control the braking system of thetrailer. Particular caution is requiredon slippery roads.

WARNING

Never modify the brakingsystem of the vehicle to con-

trol the trailer brake. The trailer brak-ing system must be fully independentfrom the hydraulic system of the ve-hicle.

WARNING

The weight of the trailer on the vehicle towhitch will reduce the loading capacity of thevehicle by the same amount.

Consider the weight of the vehicle at fullload, including accessories and luggage tomake sure you do not exceed the maxi-mum towable weight (shown on the reg-istration certificate).

Respect the speed limits specific for eachcountry for vehicles towing trailers. In allcases, the top speed must not exceed 80km/h.

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres type 185/65 R15 only (seeparagraph “Tyres” in section “Technicalspecifications”).

The Fiat Dealership will be happy to pro-vide advice concerning the most suitabletype of tyre for customer’s requirements.

For the type of snow tyre to be used, in-flation pressures and specifications, followthe instructions given in paragraph “Tyres”in section “Technical specifications”.

The winter performance of these tyres isconsiderably reduced when the tread thick-ness is less than 4 mm. Replace them in thiscase.

Due to their specific features, the perfor-mance of snow tyres is much lower thanthat of standard tyres in normal conditionsor long motorway stretches. Use them ex-clusively according to the performancelevels for which they were type-approved.

IMPORTANT When snow tyres are usedwith a max speed index below the onethat can be reached by the vehicle (in-creased by 5%), place a notice in the pas-senger compartment, plainly in the driver’sview, which states the max permissiblespeed for snow tyres (as per EC Direc-tive).

All four tyres should be the same (brandand track) to ensure greater safety whendriving and braking and better driveabili-ty.

Remember that it is inappropriate tochange the rotation direction of tyres.

The max. speed of snowtyres with “Q” mark must

not exceed 160 km/h, respecting how-ever the applicable rules of the High-way Code.

GSNOW CHAINS

Use of snow chains should be in compli-ance with local regulations.

The snow chains may be applied only tothe front wheel tyres (drive wheels).

Check the tension of the chains after thefirst few metres have been driven.

PROLONGED VEHICLEINACTIVITY

If the vehicle needs to be stopped for longerthan one month, the following precautionsmust be taken:

❒ park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, pos-sibly, well-ventilated place;

❒ engage a gear and check that the hand-brake is not engaged;

❒ disconnect the negative terminal of thebattery and check charge (see paragraph“Battery” in section “Maintenance andcare”);

❒ clean and protect the painted parts usingprotective wax;

❒ clean and protect the shiny metal partsusing special compounds readily available;

❒ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubberwindscreen and rear window wiperblades and lift them off the glass;

❒slightly open the windows;

❒ cover the vehicle with a piece of fabric orperforated plastic sheet; do not use com-pact plastic tarpaulins, which prevent hu-midity from evaporating from the surfaceof the vehicle;

❒ inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 barabove the normal specified pressure andcheck it at intervals;

❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.

Keep your speed down whensnow chains are fitted. Do notexceed 50 km/h. Avoid pot-holes, steps and pavements

and also avoid driving long distances onroads not covered with snow in orderto prevent damaging the vehicle andthe roadbed.

Injection system failure

Under normal conditions, when the igni-tion key is moved to MAR, the warninglight turns on and should go off after en-gine start-up.

If the warning light stays on or turns onwhen travelling, a fault in the sup-ply/ignition system has occurred, whichcould cause high emissions at the exhaust,possible lack of performance, poor han-dling and high fuel consumption levels.


In these conditions, the vehicle can con-tinue travelling at moderate speed with-out demanding excessive effort from theengine. Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon aspossible.

EOBD engine control system failure

Under normal conditions, when the igni-tion key is moved to MAR, the warninglight turns on and should go off after en-gine start-up.

This indicates that the warning light isworking correctly. If the warning light ei-ther stays on or comes on during vehicletravel, the following applies.

❒ Steady light: indicates a fault in the sup-ply/ignition system which could causehigh emissions at the exhaust, possiblereduced performances, poor drivabili-ty and high fuel consumption levels.


In these conditions, the vehicle can con-tinue travelling at moderate speed with-out demanding excessive effort fromthe engine or high speeds. Prolongeduse of the vehicle with the warning lighton may cause damage. Go to a FiatDealership as soon as possible.

The warning light goes out after thefault is cleared, and the indication isstored in the system.

❒ Flashing light: indicates the possibility ofdamage to the catalyst (see “EOBD sys-tem” in section “Dashboard and con-trols”).

If the warning light flashes, release theaccelerator pedal to lower the speed ofthe engine until the warning light stopsflashing; continue the journey at mod-erate speed, trying to avoid driving con-ditions that may cause further flashingand contact the Fiat Dealership as soonas possible.

Go to a Fiat Dealership assoon as possible if warninglight U does not light upwhen the key is turned to

MAR or if, while travelling, the warninglight comes on either steady or blinking(along with a message on the display).The operation of the warning light Umay be checked by the traffic police us-ing specific devices. Follow the laws inforce in the country where you are dri-ving.

STARTING THE ENGINE

EMERGENCY START

Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately ifwarning light Y comes on steady on theinstrument panel.

STARTING THE ENGINEWITH THE AUXILIARYBATTERY

If the battery is down, the engine can bestarted using an auxiliary battery havingthe same capacity, or higher.

For engine starting follow the procedurebelow, fig. 1.

❒ Connect positive terminals (+ near theterminal) of the two batteries with ajump lead;

❒ With a second lead, connect the nega-tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary batteryto an earthing point E on the engine orthe gearbox of the vehicle to be start-ed.

❒ Start the engine.

❒ When the engine has been started, fol-low the sequence above in reverse or-der to remove the leads.

If after a few attempts the engine will notstart, do not insist but contact the near-est Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Never connect the negativeterminals of the two batteries directly:sparks could ignite explosive gas releasedfrom the battery. If the auxiliary battery isinstalled on another vehicle, prevent acci-dental contact between metallic parts ofthe two vehicles.

BUMP STARTING

Never jump start the engine by pushing,towing or driving downhill. This couldcause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-verter and damage it beyond repair.

IMPORTANT Remember that the brakebooster and the power steering systemare not operating until the engine is start-ed. A greater effort will, therefore, be re-quired to press the brake pedal or turnthe steering wheel.

Never use a quick batterycharger for emergency startoperations: this might dam-age the electronic system and

the engine start/supply control units.

This procedure must be per-formed by expert personnel

because incorrect actions may causeelectrical discharge of considerable in-tensity. Furthermore, battery fluid ispoisonous and corrosive: avoid contactwith your skin and eyes. Keep nakedflames away from the battery. Nosmoking. Do not cause sparks.

IF A TYREIS PUNCTURED

Cargo versions

The vehicle is supplied with a regular sizespare wheel. Alternatively, the vehicle maybe equipped with a “Fix&Go fast tyre re-pair kit” (see instructions in next section).

Combi versions

The vehicle is supplied with a “Fix&Go fasttyre repair kit” (see instructions in nextsection). As an alternative to the Fix&Gokit, the vehicle may be equipped with aregular size spare wheel.

Wheel changing and correct use of the jackand spare wheel call for some precautionsas listed below.

The spare wheel (for ver-sions/markets, where provid-

ed) is specific for your vehicle. There-fore, it must not be used on vehiclesof a different model. Do not use sparewheels of different models on your ve-hicle. The spare wheel must only beused in an emergency. Use it as short-ly as possible.

WARNING

Indicate that the vehicle isstationary according to the

laws in force: emergency lights, re-fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-sengers should leave the vehicle, par-ticularly if it is very loaded, and waitfor the wheel to be changed awayfrom on-coming traffic. In case ofsteep slopes or rough slopes, placewedges or other materials suitable tostop the vehicle under the wheels. Re-pair and refit the standard wheel assoon as possible. Do not apply greaseto the bolt threading before assem-bly: the bolts could come loose un-expectedly.

WARNING

Use the jack only to replacewheels on the vehicle with

which it is supplied or on other vehi-cles of the same model. Never use thejack for other purposes, such as lift-ing other vehicle models. Never use thejack to carry out repairs under the ve-hicle. Incorrect positioning of the jackmay cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Donot use the jack for loads higher thanthose shown on the label.

WARNING

Incorrect wheel cap assem-bly may cause it to come off

when the vehicle is travelling. Nevertamper with the inflation valve. Nev-er introduce tools of any kind be-tween rim and tyre. Regularly checkthe pressure of the tyres and smallspare wheel referring to the valuesshown in the “Technical Specifica-tions” section.

WHEN NEEDINGTO CHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-tacts for oxidation.

❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-ers of the same type and power.

❒ Always check the height of the head-light beam after changing a bulb.

❒ When a bulb is not working, check thatthe corresponding fuse is intact beforereplacing it: refer to the “If a fuseblows” paragraph in this section for thelocation of fuses.

IMPORTANT A slight misting may appearon the internal surface of the headlight:this does not indicate a fault. It is a natur-al event caused by the low temperatureand the degree of humidity in the air. It willrapidly disappear when the headlights areswitched on. The presence of drops insidethe headlights indicates infiltration of wa-ter. Go to a Fiat Dealership.

Modifications or repairs tothe electrical system that are

not carried out properly or do nottake the system technical specifica-tions into account can cause mal-functions leading to the risk of fire.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain pres-surised gas which may cause

small fragments of glass to be pro-jected outwards if the bulb is broken.

WARNING

Halogen lamps must be han-dled holding the metallic partonly. Touching the transpar-ent part of the bulb with your

fingers may reduce the intensity of theemitted light and even compromise du-ration of the lamp. In case of acciden-tal contact, rub the lamp with a clothand spirit and leave to dry.

If possible, we recommendthat you let the Fiat Dealer-ship replace the bulbs. Prop-er operation and orientation

of the external lights are essential forthe safety of the running vehicle, andfor avoiding legal sanctions.

IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL

Fuses are protective devices for the elec-tric system: they come into action (i.e. cutoff) mainly due to a fault or improper ac-tion on the system.

When a specific device does not work cor-rectly, check the efficiency of the corre-sponding fuse. The conducting element A- fig. 46 must not be interrupted.

If it is, replace the blown fuse with a newone having the same amperage (samecolour).

B intact fuse.

C fuse with broken conducting element.

To replace the fuse use the extractor Dpositioned inside the tool box or the Fix& Go kit container (for versions/markets,where provided).

If the fuse blows out again,contact the Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

Never replace a fuse withanother one having higher

amperage: FIRE HAZARD.If a general protection fuse trips(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE), contactthe Fiat Dealership.Remove the key from the ignitionswitch and switch off all points of usebefore replacing a fuse.

WARNING

Never replace a blown fusewith metal wires or other ma-terial.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct servicing is essential for ensur-ing long vehicle life under the best condi-tions.

This is why Fiat has planned a series ofchecks and maintenance operations every30,000 km.

Scheduled servicing will not however ful-ly cover all of the needs of your vehicle.Even before carrying out the 30,000 kmservice coupon, and later between oneconsecutive coupons, ordinary vehiclecare is still required such as for exampleroutine checks to top up the fluid levels,if necessary, tyre pressure checks, etc.

IMPORTANT Scheduled service couponsare required by the manufacturer. Non-performance of service coupons maycause the warranty to become null andvoid.

Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-at Dealerships at pre-established times.

If during scheduled servicing, the need aris-es for further replacements or repairs,these may be carried out exclusively af-ter obtaining the explicit agreement fromthe Customer.

IMPORTANT You are advised to contactthe Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-nor operating faults, without waiting forthe next service coupon.

If your vehicle is used frequently for tow-ing, the interval between service couponsmust be reduced.

IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-pends on driving style and the conditionsunder which the vehicle is used.

IMPORTANT Always top up using engineoil of the same type as that already in theengine.

ENGINE OIL fig. 3-4

Engine oil check

Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5)after the engine has stopped, with the ve-hicle parked on level ground.

Extract the test rod A and clean it. Then,put it back all the way down and extractit again to check that the level ranges be-tween the MIN and MAX levels on therod. The range between the MIN andMAX levels corresponds to approxi-mately 1 litre of oil.

Topping up the engine oil

If the oil level is near or even under theMIN line, add oil through the filler B toreach the MAX line.

Oil level must never exceed the MAXline.

Proceed very carefully insidethe engine compartment

when the engine is hot: risk of burns.Remember that the electric fan maystart up if the engine is hot: risk of in-jury. Pay attention to scarves, ties andother loose fitting garments: they maybe dragged by moving parts.

WARNING

Exhausted engine oil and oilfilter contain substanceswhich are dangerous for theenvironment. For oil and filter

changing, we recommend contacting aFiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT If the engine oil level resultsabove the MAX level after the check, goto the Fiat Dealership for restoring thecorrect level.

IMPORTANT After adding or changingthe oil, let the engine turn over for a fewseconds and wait a few minutes after turn-ing it off before you check the level.

Engine oil consumption

The maximum engine oil consumption isusually 400 grams every 1000 km.

When the vehicle is new, the engine needsto be run in. Therefore, the engine oil con-sumption can only be considered stabilisedafter the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.

FLUID FOR ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

The coolant level must be checked whenthe engine is cold and must not drop be-low the MIN line on the vessel.

If the level is too low, slowly pour a mix-ture of 50% distilled water and of FL Selenia PARAFLU UP into the filler A-fig. 5 of the vessel.

A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP anddistilled water gives freeze protection upto –35°C.

When the vehicle is used under particu-larly harsh weather conditions, we rec-ommend using a 60-40 mixture ofPARAFLU UP and demineralised water.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOWWASHING FLUID

To add fluid lift the cap A-fig. 6 and pourin a mixture of water and TUTELAPROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid, in thefollowing proportions:

❒ 30% of TUTELA PROFESSIONALSC 35 and 70% of water in summer;

❒ 50% of TUTELA PROFESSIONALSC 35 and 50% of water in winter.

In case of temperatures below –20°C, useundiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONALSC35 fluid.

Check level through the reservoir.

fig. 5 F0T0078m

When the engine is extreme-ly hot, do not remove the

cap from the vessel: risk of burns.The cooling system is pressurised. Ifrequired, replace the cap with anoriginal spare part so as not to jeop-ardise system efficiency.

WARNING

PARAFLU UP antifreeze isused in the engine cooling sys-tem. Use fluid of the sametype contained in the cooling

system for top-ups. PARAFLU UP maynot be mixed with other types of fluids.If it is, do not start the engine and con-tact the Fiat Dealership.

BRAKE FLUID

Release cap A-fig. 7. Check that the liq-uid contained in the tank is at the maxi-mum level.

Fluid level in the reservoir must not ex-ceed the MAX mark.

Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluidsand lubricants” table (see section “Tech-nical Specifications”). When opening thecap A, make sure that no dirt gets into thereservoir.

For topping up always use a funnel withbuilt-in filter (mesh smaller than or equalto 0.12 mm).

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-ture. For this reason, if the vehicle is main-ly used in areas with a high degree of at-mospheric humidity, the fluid should bereplaced at more frequent intervals thanspecified in the “Scheduled servicing plan”.

Do not travel with the wind-screen washing reservoir

empty: the action of the windscreenwasher is essential for improving vis-ibility.

WARNING

Some commercial additivesfor windscreen washing are

flammable. The engine compartmentcontains hot parts which could starta fire if they come into contact.

AIR CLEANER/ POLLEN FILTER

Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter re-placed by a Fiat Dealership.

BATTERY

The vehicle fits a low-maintenance battery:no top-ups with distilled water are need-ed in normal conditions of use.

A periodic check is however required tomake sure that the battery is in efficientconditions. Have it performed by the FiatDealership or skilled personnel only.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

If required, replace the battery with a gen-uine spare battery having the same speci-fications.

If a battery with different specifications isfitted, the service intervals given in the“Scheduled servicing plan” in this sectionwill no longer be valid.

Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-structions for maintenance.

The battery fluid is poiso-nous and corrosive. Avoid

contact with the skin and eyes. Keepnaked flames and sources of sparksaway from the battery: risk of explo-sion and fire.

WARNING

Running the battery with anexcessively low liquid level

will damage the battery beyond re-pair and even cause an explosion.

WARNING

Incorrect assembly of electricand electronic devices maycause severe damage to yourvehicle. Go to a Fiat Dealer-

ship if, after buying the vehicle, youwant to install accessories (alarms, mo-bile phone, etc.): they will suggest themost suitable devices and advise youif a higher capacity battery needs to beinstalled.

Batteries contain substancesthat can be very dangerousfor the environment. It is ad-visable to have the battery re-

placed by a Fiat Dealership where itwill be disposed of according to thelaw.

Whenever an operation onthe battery or near it is re-

quired, always protect your eyes withspecial goggles.

WARNING

If the vehicle remains unusedfor a long time at very lowtemperatures, remove thebattery and take it to a warm

place to avoid freezing.

USEFUL ADVICE TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOURBATTERY

To avoid draining your battery and makeits life longer, observe the following indi-cations:

❒ when you park the vehicle, ensure thedoors, tailgate and bonnet are closedproperly;

❒ switch off all lights inside the vehicle: thevehicle is however equipped with a sys-tem which switches all internal lights offautomatically;

❒ do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-tem, emergnecy lights, etc.) switchedon for a long time when the engine isnot running;

❒ before performing any operation on theelectrical system, disconnect the bat-tery negative cable;

❒ battery terminals shall always be per-fectly tightened.

The battery is also more prone to the riskof freezing (e.g. already at –10°C). Referto the paragraph “Vehicle inactivity” in“Starting and driving” if the vehicle is leftparked for a long time.

If, after buying the vehicle, you want to in-stall electric accessories which requirepermanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)contact the Fiat Dealership whose quali-fied personnel, in addition to suggestingthe most suitable devices, will evaluate theoverall electric absorption, checkingwhether the vehicle electric system is ca-pable of withstanding the load required,or whether it should be integrated witha more powerful battery.

Since these devices continue absorbing en-ergy even when the ignition key is off, theygradually run down the battery.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-ing the spare wheel, approximately onceevery two weeks and before starting along journey: this check must be per-formed with the tyre rested and cold.

It is normal for pressure to increase whenthe vehicle is used. For the correct tyreinflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Tech-nical specifications” section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyrewear fig. 9:

A normal pressure: evenly worn tread;

B low pressure: tread particularly wornon the edges;

C excessive pressure: tread particularlyworn in the middle.

The tyres must be replaced when thetread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-es, follow the laws in force in the coun-try where you are driving.

IMPORTANT NOTES

❒ Avoid braking suddenly, burning startsand violent knocks against the curb,potholes or other obstacles if possible.Long distances on rough roads maydamage the tyres;

❒ check the tyres regularly for cuts on thesides, swelling or irregular tread wear.Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.

❒ Do not overload your vehicle: this maycause serious damage to wheels andtyres;

❒ if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicleimmediately and charge it to avoid dam-age to the tyre, the rim, suspensionsand steering system;

❒ a tyre will age even if it is not usedmuch. Cracks in the tread and on thesidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have thetyres checked by specialised personnelif they have been fitted for longer than6 years. Remember to check the sparewheel very carefully.

❒ In case of replacement, always fit newtyres, avoiding those with an unknownorigin.

❒ If a tyre is replaced, also change the in-flation valve.

❒ To allow even wear between the frontand rear tyres, it is advisable to changethem every 10-15 thousand kilometres,keeping them on the same side of thevehicle so as not to reverse the direc-tion of rotation.

BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROM WEATHER CONDITIONS

The main causes of corrosion are the fol-lowing:

❒ atmospheric pollution;

❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas orhot humid climates);

❒ seasonal environment conditions.

Equal importance must be attributed tothe abrasive action of wind-borne atmos-pheric dust as well as sand and mud andgravel raised by other vehicles.

On your vehicle Fiat has adopted the bestmanufacturing technologies to effectivelyprotect the bodywork against corrosion.

These are the most important technolo-gies:

❒ painting products and systems whichgive the vehicle particular resistance tocorrosion and abrasion;

❒ use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steelsheets with high resistance to corro-sion;

❒ spraying the underbody, engine com-partment, wheelhouse internal partsand other parts with highly protectivewax products;

❒ spraying of plastic parts with a protec-tive function in the more exposedpoints: underdoor, inner fender parts,edges, etc.;

❒ use of “open” boxed sections to pre-vent condensation and pockets of mois-ture from triggering rust inside.

VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY

Your vehicle is covered by warrantyagainst perforation due to rust of any orig-inal element of the structure or body.

For the general terms of this warranty, re-fer to the Fiat Warranty Booklet.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK

Paint

Paintwork does not only serve an aes-thetic purpose, but also protects the un-derlying sheet metal.

Touch up abrasions and scratches immedi-ately to prevent the formation of rust. On-ly use genuine spare paint products fortouch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identifi-cation plate” in the “Technical Specifica-tions” section).

Normal maintenance of paintwork con-sists in washing the vehicle: the frequen-cy depends on the conditions and envi-ronment where the vehicle is used.

For example, it is advisable to wash the ve-hicle more often in areas with a high en-vironmental pollution or on roads sprin-kled with salt.

To correctly wash the vehicle:

❒ remove the aerial from the roof to pre-vent damage to it if the vehicle iswashed in an automatic system;

❒ wash the body using a low pressure jetof water;

❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-lution over the bodywork, frequentlyrinsing with the sponge;

❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jetof air or a chamois leather.

If the vehicle is washed in an automatic carwash, follow these recommendations:

– remove the antenna from the roof toavoid damages;

– water with a cleansing solution must beused for washing;

– rinse accurately to avoid cleansing so-lution residues which may remain on thebody or hidden parts.

Dry the less visible parts particularly care-fully, such as the door frames, bonnet andthe headlight frames, where water maystagnate more easily. It is a good idea toleave the vehicle outdoors for a while af-ter washing it to give water time to evap-orate.

Do not wash the vehicle after it has beenparked in the sun or when the engine bon-net is hot: this could take the shine off thepaint.

Some automatic systems pro-vided with old generationand/or not correctly main-tained brushes may damage

the varnish, easing the creation of mi-cro-scratches, especially on darkcolours. To remove those scratches,slightly polish with a specific product.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned inthe same way as the rest of the vehicle.Where possible, do not park the vehicleunder trees; the resinous substance re-leased by many species give the paint a dullappearance and increase the possibility oftriggering rust processes.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must bewashed off immediately and thoroughly asthe acid they contain is particularly ag-gressive.

Windows

Use specific window cleaner products.Use also clean cloths to avoid scratchingthe glass or damaging the transparency.

IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window in-side gently with a cloth in the directionof the filaments to avoid damaging theheating device.

Engine compartment

At the end of each winter, thoroughlywash the engine compartment taking carenot to direct the water jet against the elec-tronic control units and the relay/fuse con-trol unit on the left side of the engine com-partment (running direction). Have thisoperation performed at a specialisedworkshop.

IMPORTANT Perform this operation ona cold engine and with the key at STOP.After the washing operation, make surethat the various protections (e.g. rubbercaps and guards) have not been removedor damaged.

Front headlights

IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: ace-tone) for cleaning front headlight plasticlens.

Detergents cause water pol-lution. The vehicle should bewashed in areas equipped forcollecting and purifying the

liquid used in the washing process.

INTERIORS

Periodically check that water is nottrapped under the mats (due to waterdripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) whichcould cause oxidisation of the sheet met-al.

Never use flammable prod-ucts, such as petrol, ether or

rectified petrol, to clean the vehicleinterior. The electrostatic chargeswhich are generated by rubbing dur-ing cleaning operations may cause afire.

WARNING

Do not keep aerosol cans inthe vehicle: risk of explosion.

Aerosol cans must not be exposed toa temperature exceeding 50°C. Whenthe vehicle is exposed to sunlight, in-ner temperature can greatly exceedthis value.

For diesel engines, in emergency cases where genuine products are not available, lubricants with min. performance ACEA C2are accepted. If this is the case, the best engine performance is not guaranteed. We however recommend replacing the lubri-cant with those recommended by Fiat Dealership.The use of products with features lower than ACEA A1/B1 and ACEA C2 could cause engine damage which is not covered bywarranty.If the vehicle is used in particularly cold climates, ask your Fiat Dealership for the right Selenia product.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in thetable below are determined on the basisof the type-approval tests set down byspecific European Directives.

IMPORTANT The type of route, trafficand weather conditions, driving style, gen-eral conditions of the vehicle, trim lev-el/equipment/accessories, load, climatecontrol system, roof rack, other situationsthat affect air drag may lead to differentfuel consumption levels than those mea-sured.

The procedures below are followed formeasuring consumption:

❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed bydriving that simulates urban use of thevehicle;

❒ extraurban cycle: frequent acceler-ations in all gears, simulating extraur-ban use of the vehicle: speed varies be-tween 0 and 120 km/h;

❒ combined consumption: calculatedweighing about 37% of urban cycle con-sumption and about 63% of extraurbanconsumption.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE

For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment throughthe continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a viewto guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligationsimposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* atthe end of its life span without additional costs.

The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that thevehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.

Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to ourcustomers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of yournearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat website or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.
