OWNER HANDBOOK
FIATSEDICI
1
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat SEDICI versions. As a consequence, you should consider only the
information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the vehicle you purchased.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat SEDICI.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all your new vehicle features and use it in the best possible way.
You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time.
You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your vehicle to help you derive the maximum from
your Fiat SEDICI technological features.
What’s more every single component of the Fiat SEDICI is fully recyclable. At the end of your vehicle’s useful lifespan any Fiat
Dealership will be pleased to make arrangements for your vehicle to be recycled and nature benefits in two ways: there’s no pol-
lution from waste disposal and the demand for raw materials is reduced.
The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that Fiat offers to its Customers:

By choosing Fiat original spare parts (re-
conditioned and non re-conditioned) you
can rely on a rapid and efficient service
provided by skilled operators, on good
equipment and a wide range of parts.
The Fiat Dealership uses Fiat original spare
parts and re-conditioned spare parts.
FIAT RE-CONDITIONED
SPARE PARTS
They are Fiat original spare parts/me-
chanical assemblies, already used but giv-
en back to Fiat, which renews them com-
pletely to meet the same qualitative and
reliability requirements of the newly orig-
inal spare parts.
Fiat re-conditioned spare parts:
❐
give the Customers the opportunity to
buy spare mechanical assemblies (en-
gines, transmissions, etc.) at particular-
ly favourable prices;
❐
contribute to safeguard the environ-
ment by reducing scrapping operations
and the disposal of removed materials.
FIAT ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS
These spare parts ensure the reliability
and technological quality needed to trav-
el safely. Designed on the basis of the same
project of the components fitted on the
vehicle, the original spare parts undergo
very harsh tests before being produced or
re-conditioned, with the aim of being used
to keep the vehicle performance un-
changed in time.
Therefore, for an accurate and careful
maintenance, choose Fiat original spare
parts (re-conditioned and non re-condi-
tioned), which can be identified by the fea-
tures of their package and which are avail-
able only at the Fiat Dealership.

Gasoline/Ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in some areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your ve-
hicle if they are no more than 10%
ethanol. Make sure this gasoline- ethanol
blend has octane ratings no lower than
those recommended for gasoline.
Gasoline/Methanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and methanol
(wood alcohol) are also commercially avail-
able in some areas. DO NOT USE fuels
containing more than 5% methanol under
any circumstances. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems resulting
from the use of such fuels are not the re-
sponsibility of Fiat and may not be covered
under the New Vehicle Warranty.
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may
be suitable for use in your vehicle if they
contain cosolvents and corrosion in-
hibitors.
NOTE If you are not satisfied with the dri-
veability or fuel economy of your vehicle
when you are using a gasoline/ alcohol
blend, you should switch back to unlead-
ed gasoline containing no alcohol.
IMPORTANT Be careful not to spill fuel
containing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up im-
mediately. Fuels containing alcohol can
cause paint damage, which is not covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warran-
ty.
DIESEL ENGINE
The diesel fuel should be with Cetane In-
dex higher than 50 and sulfur content less
than 50 ppm (parts per million). You
should use the diesel fuel conformable to
EN590 that corresponded to Euro V emis-
sion control. Do not use marine diesel fu-
el, heating oils and so forth. If you use im-
proper diesel fuel, it may cause serious en-
gine damage.
FUEL
RECOMMENDATION
GASOLINE ENGINE
If your vehicle is not fitted with a restrictor
in the fuel filler pipe then you may use lead-
ed or unleaded gasoline with an octane
number (RON) of 85 or higher.
Note, it is preferable to use unleaded gaso-
line.
If your vehicle is fitted with a restrictor
in the fuel filler pipe then you must use
unleaded gasoline with an octane number
(RON) of 91 or higher (or RON of 95 or
higher if it is stated on the fuel filler lid).
These vehicles are also identified by a la-
bel attached near the fuel filler pipe that
states: “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”,
“NUR UNVERBLEITES BENZIN”, “EN-
DAST BLYFRI BENSIN” or “SOLO
GASOLINA SIN PLOMO”.
If the “RON 95” label is attached, you
must use unleaded gasoline with an octane
number (RON) of 95 or higher.

IMPORTANT The vehicle must only be
filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles,
in compliance with European Standard
EN590. The use of other products or mix-
tures may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due to
the damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fuel, do
not start the engine and empty the tank.
If the engine has been run even for only a
very short time, in addition to the tank,
it is also necessary to drain out the whole
fuel circuit.
IMPORTANT The fuel tank has an air
space to allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel after
the filler nozzle has automatically shut off
or an initial blowback occurs, the air
chamber will become full. Exposure to
heat when fully fuelled in this manner will
result in leakage due to fuel expansion. To
prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling af-
ter the filler nozzle has automatically shut
off, or when using an alternative non au-
tomatic system, initial vent blowback oc-
curs.
Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
Fiat CODE - Immobilizer System
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
which has an electronic identification code
programmed into it. The key communi-
cates the identification code to the vehi-
cle when the key is turned to the “ON”
position. If you need to make spare keys,
see your Fiat Dealership. The vehicle must
be programmed with the correct identi-
fication code for the spare keys. A key
made by an ordinary locksmith will not
work.
KEYS
The vehicle comes with two keys, one
with remote control (1) and the other ex-
clusively for service purposes (2). Each key
controls the opening/closing of all doors.
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or
on the keys. Keep the tag (for versions/
markets, where provided) in a safe place.
If you lose your keys, you will need this
number to have new keys made.
IMPORTANT All the keys and the metal
tag must be handed over to the new own-
er when selling the vehicle.

WARNING
1. Crossed-out wheeled bin symbol
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (1)
indicates that used battery should be col-
lected separately from ordinary household
trash.
By ensuring the used battery is disposed
or recycled correctly, you will help pre-
vent potential negative consequences for
the environment and human health, which
could otherwise be caused by inappropri-
ate trash handling of the battery. The re-
cycling of materials will help to conserve
natural resources. For more detailed in-
formation about disposing or recycling of
the used battery, consult your FIAT Deal-
ership.
