Best regards and good motoring!

This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat SCUDO versions.

As a consequence, you should consider only the information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the vehicle you purchased.

MUST BE READ!

REFUELLING

Only refuel with diesel fuel for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590.

KUsing other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty cover for caused damages as a consequence.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to M and wait for the warning lights Yand m to go off; turn the ignition key to D and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING OVER INFLAMMABLE MATERIAL

While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the vehicle over grass, dry leaves, pine nee-

dles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle 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 vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a
Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle’s electric system can sup-
port the required load.

CODE card

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should always keep the electronic code written on the CODE card with you.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the vehicle 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…

… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your vehicle, and its maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) ! (vehicle wellbeing).

SYMBOLS

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

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your vehicle from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, 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 modulate 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 turning the ignition key to M, 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 S, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit.

In this case, the key should be moved to S and then back to M; if the lock continues, possibly try again with the other key provided with the vehicle. If it is still not possible to start the vehicle, contact Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Every key has its own code, which must be memorised by the system control unit. To memorise new keys, up to a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Dealership.

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

THE KEYS

CODE CARD fig. 2

The vehicle is delivered with two copies of the ignition key and with the CODE card which bears the following:

A the electronic code;

Bthe mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Dealership when ordering duplicate keys.

Make sure you have the electronic code A-fig. 2 with you at all times.

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

As soon as the starting key is inserted and forafewseconds,themaintenancekeylights upandwhichindicatesthemaintenanceoperations;thetotalodometerdisplayindicates the number of kilometres {rounded down} which can be covered until the next maintenanceoperation.Themaintenanceexpiry datesarecalculatedstartingfromthelastresetting of the indicator.

This expiry date is determined by means of two parameters:

the distance in kilometres covered

time which has passed since the last maintenance operation.

The distance in kilometres which remains to be covered can be considered by the time factor, based on the driver’s

driving habits.

Maintenance expiry date over 1,000 km

Example: one can still travel 4,800 km before the next maintenance operation. After having turned the starting key to the M position and for a few seconds, the display indicates:

F0P0354m

A few seconds after having turned the starting key to the M position, the oil level is shown, therefore the total odometer works again and it indicates the total and daily amount of kilometres travelled.

Maintenance expiry date less than 1,000 km

After having turned the starting key to the M position and for a few seconds, the maintenance key flashes and the remaining number of kilometres is shown.

F0P0355m

ENGINE OIL LEVEL OIL OK INDICATOR

Turning the starting key to the M position, the instrument, after having shown the kilometres to be covered before the next maintenance operation, supplies the synchronised indication of the oil level present in the engine oil pan. The flashing of the word “OIL”, accompanied by a beeping and by a message, indicates an insufficient quantity of oil in the engine. The flashing of the word “OIL –“ indicates a problem with the engine oil sensor.

Maintenance Expiry date exceeded

After having turned the starting key to the M posi- tion and for a few seconds, the maintenance key flashes F0P0356m and the number of kilome-

tres

travelled after the expiry date of the maintenance operation is shown.
