with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road

surfaces.

This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and

After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on

In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty

Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.

We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at

Fiat.

Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

READ THIS CAREFULLY

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification

EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as

damage fundamental components of the supply system.

For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel 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.

For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Versions 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 or press the ignition device button; release the key or the

button 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

warning light to switch off. Bring the

clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the

ignition key to AVV or press the ignition device button; release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.

Versions with automatic transmission: 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 vehicle 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 vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental

friendliness and low running costs unchanged in time.

SYMBOLS

Some vehicle components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this

component.

A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.

VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents,

in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

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.

IMPORTANT If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, reduced

performance of the Keyless Entry/Keyless Go system may occur.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as

regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.

The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do

not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles

with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position

or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.

Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key

for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the

current chapter at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your

vehicle.

There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,

which could cause accidents or injuries.

Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.

WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.

That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.
