logical features of your Fiat.
Carefully read the warnings and indications, marked with the following symbols:
personal safety;

the European specification EN 228.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused.
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
쇵
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 electrical system can
support the required load.
CODE card
Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. You should have the electronic code from the CODE card with you at all
times.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety fea-
tures, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

EMERGENCY
IN AN
For diesel engines, in the event of an emergency in which the original products are not available, lubricants with at least ACEA C2
performance are acceptable; however, in this case optimum engine performances are not guaranteed and the lubricants should be
replaced with recommended products as soon as possible at a Fiat Dealership.
The use of products with specifications lower than ACEA C3 and ACEA C2 could cause engine damage not covered under warranty.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly “eco-compatible”. To give customers the best possible service in terms
of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life,
Fiat is offering its customers the opportunity of handing over their vehicle* at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses as
a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles regis-
tered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year
of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional
waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Dealerships or Fiat-authorised collection and
scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling
of unused vehicles with respect to the environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat or Fiat Commercial Vehicle Dealer-
ship or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going on the Fiat website.
