MUST BE READ!

REFUELLING

petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the

European specification EN 228.

ENGINE STARTING

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.

The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of warranty in relation to the damage caused.

petrol engines: 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 AVVand release it as soon as the engine has started.

Diesel engines: 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 MAR and wait for the warning lights Yand to go off; turn the ignition key to AVVand release it as soon as the engine has started.

The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire risk .



RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with 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 battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can support the required load.

CODE card

Keep it in a safe place, non in the car. Make sure you have the electronic code with you at all times.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car 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.

쇵

THE OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS…

... important information, advise and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car in time. Pay special attention to the symbols

(personal safety) #(environmental protection) ! (car’s wellbeing).

Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of the components of your car. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.

F0R0002m

The plate summarising the symbols used can be found under the bonnet fig. 1.

This is an electrical engine locking system which increases protection from attempted theft of the car. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is extracted.

Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna incorporated in the ignition device. This signal is the ‘password’ which changes at each ignition and which the control unit uses to recognise the key and allow ignition.

INDEX

OPERATION

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

The 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 electronic control unit.

If the code has not been recognised correctly, the warning light

turns on ac-

companied by the related message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; try with the other keys provided if the problem persists. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system ECU. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored.

Warning light

coming on when driving

❒

If the warning light Yturns on, this means that the system is running a selftest (for example for a voltage drop).

❒

If the warning light Ystays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks.

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 8:

❒

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

❒

MAR: driving position. All electrical devices may work.

❒

AVV: engine starting (unstable position).

The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety system that, in the event the engine is not started, turns back the ignition key to STOP before repeating the starting operation.

WARNING

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 is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be caused, for example, by the operation of the climate control system or fan. In these case, a slow change in engine speed is used to protect the battery charge.
