Dear Customer,

We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best

performance from its technical features. You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and

above all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road surfaces.

This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and maintenance of your vehicle over time.

After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on board the vehicle should it be sold.

In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.

We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Fiat.

Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

This Owner Handbook describes all vehicle versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording (where provided).

All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy S.p.A. aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.

For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

READ THIS CAREFULLY

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification

EN228.

Diesel engines: refuel only with Diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused. LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused. For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Versions with manual transmission (petrol engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress

the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release the key as soon as the engine has started. Versions with manual transmission (Diesel engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts. Versions with automatic transmission (where provided): make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the shift lever is in the P (Parking) or N (Neutral) position, then turn the ignition key to AVV; release the key 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 vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric 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 HANDBOOK CONTAINS

…important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of the car over time. Special attention must be paid to the symbols

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.

The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook. Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key

for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.

There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries.

Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed. WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

5) Never extract the mechanical key while the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel will automatically lock as soon as it is turned. This holds true for cars being towed as well.

6) Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS engage the parking brake, steer the wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and the reverse if downhill. On versions with automatic transmission (where present), bring the gear lever to P (Park) and turn the ignition device to bring it to STOP. If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, chock the wheels with wedges or stones. When leaving the vehicle, always lock all the doors by pressing the button on the key.

7) On versions with automatic transmission (where present), it is advisable to put the transmission in P, release the brake pedal safely and then stop the engine to release the key smoothly.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety system that requires the ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine does not start, before the starting operation can be repeated.

2) If the ignition device has been tampered with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it checked by a Fiat Dealership before driving again.

3) Always take the key with you when you leave your vehicle to prevent someone from accidentally operating the controls. Remember to engage the parking brake. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.

FIAT CODE

The Fiat Code system prevents unauthorised use of the vehicle, disabling engine starting.

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 Powertrain Control Module 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 Powertrain Control Module.
