VERY IMPORTANT

REFUELLING

Only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the European

specification EN 228. The use of petrol that does not conform to the

above-mentioned specification will cause the EOBD warning light to come on and the irregular operation of the engine.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry



leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components linked to emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the

쇵

battery), contact an Abarth Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle electric system can support the required load.

CODE card (for versions/markets where provided)

Keep the card in a safe place, not in the car. Make sure you have the electronic code written on the CODE card with you at all times.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct car servicing is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…

... important information and warnings on the correct use and maintenance of your car over time as well as safe driving tips. Pay special attention to the symbols

(personal safety) #(car safety) ! (environmental

protection).

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electronic engine locking system which increases protection against attempted thefts of the car. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

An electronic device is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulated signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the “password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the immobiliser.

The acknowledgement code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine management control unit.

If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the

warning light comes on in the instrument panel.

CONTENTS

fig. 2

F0U003Ab

In this case turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if the lock persists try again with the spare set of keys. Contact an Abarth Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

❒

If the warning light Yturns on, this means that the

You should have the electronic code A-fig. 3 with you at all times.

IMPORTANT In order to ensure complete efficiency of the electronic devices inside the keys, they should never be exposed to direct sunlight.

STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. sound system, central door locking system, etc.) may work.

❒

MAR: driving position. All electric devices can operate.

❒

AVV: engine starting (temporary position).

The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety system that requires the ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting operation can be repeated.

WARNING

If the ignition device has been tampered

with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it checked over by an Abarth Dealership as soon as possible.

WARNING

When getting out of the car, always

REV COUNTER fig. 12

The rev counter shows the engine rpm.

IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.

When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the speed.

This behaviour is standard as it takes place during the activation of the climate control system or the fan. It should not be considered as a fault. In these cases, a slow change in revs is used to protect the battery charge.

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13

The reserve warning light A comes on to indicate that approximately 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.

This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

Under normal conditions, the needle assumes different positions within the scale depending on the usage conditions.

H High engine coolant temperature.

Warning light B may light up (and a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display may appear in certain versions) to indicate that the coolant temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine and contact an Abarth Dealership.

If the needle reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact an Abarth Dealership.
