IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on
the road if devices have been installed which modify
the features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused
by the change either directly or indirectly related
to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused
by the installation of accessories either not supplied
or recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the instructions
provided.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
PHONES

Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones,
CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside
the car unless a separate aerial is mounted externally.

IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in
addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health. In addition, transmission and
reception of these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the car body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage instructions provided
by the mobile phone manufacturer.

AT THE FILLING STATION

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only, with octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to
air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage
the catalytic converter beyond repair.

MOTORI DIESEL - Operation at low
temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low, diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the current
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.
