ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European specification
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to switch on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel for
motor vehicles in compliance with the European
specification EN590. The use of other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; place
the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch
pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for
thewarning light to switch off (and
warning light for diesel versions); turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as
the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They will calculate the overall electrical
requirement and check that the car’s electrical
system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for
ensuring that it maintains its performance and its
safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…
… important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols provided
(environmental protection)(car integrity).

TRIP COMPUTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trip computer is used to display information on
car operation when the key is turned to MAR-ON.
This function allows you to define two separate trips
called “Trip A” and “Trip B” where the car's
"complete journeys" are monitored in a reciprocally
independent manner.
Both journeys can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒ Outside temperature (for versions/markets, where
provided)
❒ Range
❒ Distance travelled A
❒ Average consumption A
❒ Instantaneous consumption
❒ Average speed A
❒ Trip time A (driving time).
“Trip B” may be used to display the figures relating
to:
❒ Distance travelled B
❒ Average consumption B
❒ Average speed B
❒ Trip time B (driving time).
20
Note “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip
B”). “Range” and “Instantaneous fuel consumption"
parameters cannot be reset.
VALUES DISPLAYED
Outside temperature (for versions/markets, where
provided)
Indicates the temperature outside the passenger
compartment.
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can be
travelled with the amount of fuel present in the
tank.“----”will appear on the display in the
following cases:
❒ range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒ car parked with engine running for a long period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type of route
(motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.), conditions
of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning
must therefore take the above into account.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption
since the start of the new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This value shows the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----”
if the car is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This shows the car average speed as a function of the
overall time elapsed since the start of the new
mission.
Trip time
Shows the time elapsed since the start of a new
journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information, the Trip
computer displays "----"inplaceofthevalue.
When normal operating condition is restored,
calculation of different units will restart regularly. No
values displayed before the failure will be reset nor
will a new mission be started.

SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near to or
on some of the components of your car. These
labels bear symbols that remind you of the
precautions to be taken with regard to that
particular component.
Under the bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key is
removed.
There is an electronic device in each key which can
identify the signal emitted, when the engine is
started, from an aerial built into the ignition switch.
The signal is the "password", different every time the
vehicle is started, through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables starting.

OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition
key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit
sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobiliser. The code
is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit
has acknowledged the code received 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, during starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to
MAR-ON; if it is still locked, try again with the other
keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

Warning lightswitching on while driving
If the
warning light switches on, this means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis (for example
for a voltage drop). Should the fault persist, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
