These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component. To further protect you car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed. The plate summarising the symbols used can be found under the bonnet fig. 6. fig. 6 F0Q0640m 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. Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit. If the code has not been recognised correctly, the instrument panel warning light Y (or symbol on display) will turn on. In this case, the key should be moved to the STOP position and then back to MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try again with the other key provided with the car. If it is still not possible to start the car contact a Fiat Dealership. Warning light Y (or symbol on display) coming on when driving ❒ If the warning light Y (or symbol on display) turns on, this means that the system is running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop). ❒ If the warning light Y (or symbol on display) continues to stay on, contact a Fiat Dealership. The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks. SAFETY DEVICES The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the key. 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 solely to Fiat Dealership taking with you the CODE card and the keys, a personal identity document and the car’s ownership documents. The codes of the keys not provided during the new memorising procedure are erased from the memory. This is to ensure that any lost or stolen keys can no longer be used to start the car. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

For this reason, make sure there are no persons left inside the car. 14 fig. 13 F0Q0641m SAFE LOCK DEVICE (where provided) This safety device enables to inhibit: ❒ door internal handles; ❒ button fig. 13 for locking/unlocking the doors, placed on the central panel; thus hindering doors opening from inside the passenger’s compartment in case of attempt to break-into (e.g. window breaking). The safe lock device guarantees the best protection against unwanted access. Therefore, it should be actuated every time the car is parked and left unattended. WARNING If the battery of the key with remote control is down, the safe lock device can only be activated through the metal insert of the key in the revolving plugs of the doors as described previously: in this case the safe lock device is active only on the rear doors. Device activation The device is automatically activated on every door by pressing twice button Á on the key with remote control. Device activation is signalled by three flashes of the direction indicators and flashing of the door-lock button led on the dashboard (see table on next page). If one of the doors is not perfectly closed, the dead lock device will not activate, thus preventing that a person getting into the car from the open door remains blocked inside the passenger’s compartment when she/he closes the door. Device deactivation The device is deactivated automatically on every door in the following cases: ❒ when unlocking the doors; ❒ when turning the ignition key to MAR. The main functions that can be activated with the keys (with or without remote control) are the following: Key with remote control Window closing – – – – – – – – Tailgate opening SAFETY DEVICES Key turning clockwise (driver side) or counterclockwise (passenger side) (where provided) Key turning counterclockwise (driver side) or clockwise Key turning clockwise (driver side) or counterclockwise Pressing briefly button Ë Pressing briefly button Á Prolonged pressing Prolonged pressing (> 2 seconds) on (> 2 seconds) on button Á button Ë 1 flashing 2 flashings Turned on fixed for approx. 3 seconds followed by deterrence led flashing Turning off deterrence led Deterrence led turning off Safe lock (where provided) Window opening Key turning counterclockwise (driver side) or clockwise (passenger side) (where provided) Direction 2 flashings indicators flashing (only with key with remote control) Led on central dashboard Door closing Double pressing on button Á Press button R 1 flashing 3 flashings 2 flashings Deterrence led flashing Double flashing and then deterrence led flashing Deterrent led flashing CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Key without remote control (where provided) Door opening WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES Type of key DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS Pagina 15 IN AN EMERGENCY 8:57 TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 10-05-2007 INDEX 001-022 BRAVO GB 15 INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR SAFETY DEVICES DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 001-022 BRAVO GB 16 10-05-2007 8:57 Pagina 16 ALARM (where provided) WHEN THE ALARM IS TRIGGERED The alarm function is provided in addition to all remote control functions previously described and it is controlled by the receiver located under the dashboard, next to the fuse box. ❒ unlawful opening of one of the doors, bonnet or boot (perimetral protection); The alarm comes into action in the following cases: ❒ attempt to start the engine (turning the ignition key to MAR); ❒ battery cable cutting; ❒ presence of moving bodies in the passenger’s compartment (volumetric protection); ❒ abnormal raising/sloping of the car. Depending on the markets, the cutting in of the alarm causes operation of the siren and direction indicators (for about 26 seconds). The ways of operating and the number of cycles may vary depending on the markets. A maximum number of sound/sight cycles is however envisaged. The volume sensing and anti-lift protections may be turned off by operating the control on the front courtesy light (see “Volume-sensing/anti-lift protection” paragraph). IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE system, which is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed. Engagement of the alarm is preceded by a self-diagnostic test. If a fault is detected the system sounds a further warning “beep” and the display shows the relevant message (see section “Warning lights and messages”). The system will react as follows (with the exception of certain markets): ❒ two brief flashes of the direction indicators; fig. 14 F0Q0335m If the doors, bonnet and boot are shut correctly and the control signal is repeated, the system self-diagnostics has detected a system operating fault. It is therefore necessary to contact Fiat Dealership. In this case, switch the alarm system off by pressing button Ë, check that the doors, bonnet and tailgate are properly shut, then switch the alarm on again by pressing button Á. IMPORTANT When operating the central door locking with the metal insert Afig. 14 of the key, the alarm is not activated.

System is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action between front and rear wheels. IMPORTANT To have the maximum efficiency of the braking system, it is necessary a setting period of about 500 km: during this period, it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged brakes. ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system gets noisier: it means that the car speed should be altered to fit the type of road surface. WARNING If the ABS system cuts in it is a sign that the grip between the tyre and the road surface has reached the limit you must slow down to match the speed to the road grip available. WARNING The ABS exploits the tyreroad grip at the best, but it cannot improve it; you should therefore take every care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking unnecessary risks. WARNING When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in the shortest amount of space possible under the current road conditions. WARNING If the instrument panel warning light x turns on (together with the message on the display), stop the car immediately and contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system, in fact, can compromise the braking system, both traditional systems and systems with ABS. In this case with sharp braking the rear wheels might lock too early, with the possibility of skidding. Drive extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked. BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistance) (where provided) The system, which cannot be cut out, recognizes emergency braking (on the ground of the brake pedal operation speed) and considerably increases the pressure in the braking circuit. Brake Assist is deactivated on versions equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP system failure (indicated by warning light á turning on together with the message on the display). SAFETY DEVICES ABS failure is indicated by the turning on of warning light > on the instrument panel (together with the dedicated message on the display) (see section “Warning lights and messages”). In this case the braking system is still efficient, though without the aid of the ABS system. Drive carefully to the closest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when grip conditions of the road surfaces changes. With ESP, ASR and Hill Holder systems is also installed (where provided) the MSR system (engine brake torque control system). ESP SYSTEM ACTIVATION HILL HOLDER SYSTEM The ESP system is automatically activated when the car is started and cannot be de-activated. This system is an integral part of the ESP system and it is provided to facilitate starting on slopes. It will activate automatically with the following conditions: WARNING Performance of the ESP system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road safety is always the driver’s responsibility. ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light á on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in critical stability and grip conditions. FAILURE INDICATIONS In the event of failure, the ESP system is automatically disconnected and the warning light á comes on with fixed light on the instrument panel (on certain versions together with the message on the display) (see section “Warning lights and messages”). In this case contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. ❒ Uphill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal pressed, gearbox to neutral or engaged gear other than reverse. ❒ Downhill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged. At pickup the ESP system control unit will keep brake force on wheels until reaching the torque suitable for starting, or in any case for max. 2 seconds in order to pass easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. After two seconds without starting, the system will deactivate automatically by releasing gradually the brake force. At releasing, the typical brake disengagement noise indicating that the car is going to move will be heard. WARNING For correct operation of the ESP and ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be of the same brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand and size specified. WARNING During the use of the spacesaver spare wheel, the ESP system carries on working. However, you must remind that the space-saver spare wheel has dimensions smaller than the standard tyre and therefore its grip is reduced as to the other car tyres. It is an integral part of the ESP system, it controls car drive and cuts in automatically every time one or both driving wheels slip. Switching the ASR system on/off The ASR system switches on automatically each time the engine is started. Switching on/off is indicated by the relevant message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”). According to slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated: ❒ if the slipping involves both the driving wheels, the ASR function intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the engine; ❒ if the slipping involves only one driving wheel, the ASR system cuts in automatically braking the wheel that is slipping. The action of the ASR is particularly helpful in the following circumstances: ❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the effect of dynamic load changes or excessive acceleration; ❒ too much power transmitted to the wheels also in relation to the conditions of the road surface; ❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen surfaces; ❒ in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning). WARNING The performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility and traffic. Road safety is always the driver’s responsibility. SAFETY DEVICES IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking brake. Never get out of the car without engaging the handbrake, switching the engine off and engaging the first gear.

When the ASR is switched off this is shown by the lighting up of the led on the switch (and by the relevant message on the display) (see section “Warning lights and messages”). If the ASR is switched off when travelling, it will turn on again automatically the next time the engine is started. When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the driving wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better drive. WARNING When using the spare wheel, the ASR system is excluded and the warning light á on the instrument panel turns on glowing steadily (together with the message on the display) (see section “Warning lights and messages”). MSR system (engine braking torque control) The car is fitted with a special system, integral with the ASR system, that in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in providing torque to the engine thus preventing excessive driving wheel drive that, specially in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of stability. The objective is: ❒ To keep system efficiency under control; ❒ Warn when a fault causes emission levels to increase; ❒ Warn of the need to replace deteriorated components. SAFETY DEVICES NOTE The car is provided with a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the error codes stored in the control units, together with a series of specific parameters for engine operation and diagnosis. This test can also be performed by traffic controller agents. IMPORTANT: After a servicing operation at Fiat Dealership aimed to eliminate malfunctioning connected to the EOBD system, in order to check the system thoroughly it could be required to run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR The European On Board Diagnostic system (EOBD), fitted to engine electronic control units, allows monitoring and warning of any malfunction to the electronic systems that could increase exhaust emissions. This diagnostic system indicates the presence of deteriorated components or system malfunctioning (see section “Warning lights and messages”) by the turning on of the instrument panel warning light U (together with the message on the display).

INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 10-05-2007 SAFETY DEVICES 083-104 BRAVO GB 94 IMPORTANT When turning quickly the ignition key, power steering full operation is obtained after 1-2 seconds. fig. 103 F0Q0693m FAILURE INDICATIONS ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION (CITY function) (where provided) Any failure is indicated by the turning on of warning light g , together with the message on the display (on certain versions a symbol is displayed) (see section “Warning lights and messages”). To connect/disconnect the CITY function, press button A-fig. 103 set on the dashboard next to the steering wheel. In the event of electric power steering system failure, the car can be driven with mechanical steering. Activation of this function is indicated by the word CITY on the instrument panel display (on certain versions it is also indicated by the turning on of the CITY warning light). When the CITY function is on the steering wheel effort is lighter and thus parking operations are easier: therefore this function is particularly useful for driving in city centres. fig. 104 F0Q0499m SPORT FUNCTION (where provided) The vehicle may be equipped with a system that allows a choice between two driving modes: normal and sports. Press the SPORT button fig. 104 to set the system for a sporty drive with prompter acceleration response and stiffer steering wheel movements for a sportier feel. Pressing SPORT button enables the overboost function. This function enables the engine control unit to reach maximum pressure levels inside the turbocharger, depending on the position of the accelerator pedal and for a limited time. This enables to achieve an increased engine torque. This function is quite useful if maximum performance is required for a short time (e.g. overcoming other vehicles). IMPORTANT during acceleration, when the SPORT function is in use, it is possible to feel steering judder, which is typical of this sporty setting. IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres including a great deal of steering. This is normal and caused by a system to prevent motor overheating. No servicing is required. The electric power steering system will return to normal operation the next time the car is used. Using the SPORT function, fuel consumption will be slightly higher than the values stated in paragraph “Fuel consumption” in this Supplement. WARNING It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever aftermarket operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that could badly affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of warranty and also result in noncompliance of the car with homologation requirements. WARNING Always switch the engine off, remove the key from the starting device and actuate the steering lock before carrying out any maintenance operation, especially when the wheels are raised from the ground. In case this is not possible (e.g. when the key must be in MAR position or the engine running), remove the electric power steering main fuse before carrying out any maintenance operation. SAFETY DEVICES Accelerating violently increasing the revs will greatly affect consumption and emissions: to contain fuel consumption acceleration should be gradual. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR IMPORTANT when the SPORT button is pressed, the function activates after about 5 seconds. Acceleration WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES When the function is on, the S symbol is lit on the instrument panel. Press the button again to turn off the function and restore normal steering settings.

(where provided) The car can be equipped with the T.P.M.S. (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). This system consists of a radio-frequency sensor, installed on each wheel (on the rim inside the tyre) that sends pressure information to the control unit. WARNING Pay the utmost attention when checking or inflating tyres. Excessive pressure impairs road holding, increases suspension and wheel stress and causes abnormal tyre wear. WARNING Tyre pressure should be checked with tyres rested and cold. Should it become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with hot tyres, do not reduce pressure although it is higher than the prescribed value but repeat the check when tyres are cold. WARNING The T.P.M.S. system does not exempt the driver to check tyre and spare wheel pressure at regular intervals (see paragraph “Wheels” in section “Car maintenance”). IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE T.P.M.S. SYSTEM Failure indications will not be stored and therefore will not be displayed when turning the engine off and on again. If failure persists, the control unit will send warning indications to the instrument panel only after a few seconds when the car is moving. WARNING T.P.M.S. system cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.: tyre burst). In this event, brake the car cautiously and avoid sudden steering. WARNING If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S. system, when changing a tyre, change also the rubber seal of the valve. Contact a Fiat Dealership. WARNING Strong radio-frequency noises could inhibit the regular operation of the T.P.M.S. system. This condition will be indicated by the turning on of warning light nor symbol on the instrument panel, together with the message on the display. Such indication will disappear automatically as soon as radio-frequency noises will stop to disturb the system. SAFETY DEVICES WARNING If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or rim removal and refitting operations involve special precautions; to prevent damages or wrong sensor refitting, contact Fiat Dealership to have tyre and/or rim changed. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WARNING The T.P.M.S. system requires special equipment. Consult Fiat Dealership to know what type of accessories are compatible with the system (wheels, wheel caps, etc.). Using other accessories could cause system malfunctioning. WARNING Tyre pressure could change according to outside temperature. For this reason the T.P.M.S. system could temporarily indicate low tyre pressure. In this event check pressure with cold tyres and restore proper inflation values if required. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WARNING Replacing standard tyres with winter tyres and vice versa involves T.P.M.S. system set-up that shall be performed at Fiat Dealerships only.

SENSORS ACTIVATION Version with 4 sensors In the version with 4 rear sensors, the system turns on automatically when reverse is engaged. F0Q0035m The system may be activated by pressing the button t fig. 107 located on the centre panel: a warning light on the button comes on when the system is active. The driver is warned of the presence and distance from the obstacle by an intermittent buzzer (the sound of the buzzer becomes more frequent as the reduction of distance between the car and the obstacle decreases). To detect obstacles the system used 4 sensors located on the front bumper (where provided) fig. 105 and 4 sensors located on the rear bumper fig. 106. fig. 107 fig. 106 F0Q0603m Version with 8 sensors In the version with 4 rear sensors and 4 front sensors, the system activates when reverse is engaged or when the button is pressed t fig. 107. When reverse is released, the rear sensors and front sensors remain active until a speed of approximately 15 km/h is exceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre to be completed. When the sensors are activated, the system begins to emit acoustic signals from the front or rear indicators as soon as an obstacle is detected. The frequency arises as soon as the car approaches the obstacle. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR fig. 105 WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES This system is therefore an aid for the driver when parking the car since it detects obstacles out of the driver’s sight range. SAFETY DEVICES Parking sensors inform the driver about the presence of obstacles behind the car (versions fitted with 4 rear sensors) or behind and in front of the car (versions fitted with 4 rear sensors and 4 front sensors).

Depending on the position of the obstacle (in front or behind) the sound is emitted by the corresponding acoustic indicators (front or rear). The obstacle closest to the vehicle is indicated in all cases. The beep will stop immediately if the distance raises. Beep tone is constant if the distance detected by central sensors is unvaried. If this situation takes place for side sensors, the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds to prevent sound indications when performing manoeuvres near walls. WARNING Parking manoeuvres however are always under the driver’s responsibility that shall always check the absence of people (specially children) or animals in the manoeuvre space. This system is just a help for the driver but she/he shall never reduce attention during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed. BUZZER WARNINGS The driver is warned of the presence and distance from the obstacle by the buzzers installed in the passenger compartment: ❒ in versions with 4 rear sensors, a buzzer located in the front dashboard area warns of the presence of rear obstacles; ❒ In versions with 8 rear sensors (4 front and 4 rear) a front buzzer warns of the presence of front obstacles and a buzzer at the rear warns of the presence of rear obstacles. This feature gives the driver a sense of directionality (front/rear) about the presence of obstacles. When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is automatically activated. The acoustic signal: ❒ becomes louder as the reduction of distance between the car and the obstacle decreases; ❒ becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance raises; ❒ is constant if the distance is unvaried. If this situation takes place for side sensors, the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds to prevent sound indications when performing manoeuvres near walls. For proper operation, the parking sensors set on the bumpers shall be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if required. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors. Any repainting of bumpers or touch/up in sensor areas shall be carried out at Fiat Dealership only. Improper painting could impair the regular operation of parking sensors. Actually their position covers the central and side areas of the front and rear part of the car. An obstacle positioned at central area is detected at a distance less than 0.9 m (front) and 1.40 m (rear). An obstacle positioned at side area is detected at a distance less than 0.6 m. OPERATION WITH TRAILER Parking sensor operation is deactivated automatically when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car tow hook socket. Sensors are reactivated when removing the trailer cable plug. IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow-hook fitted without a trailer attached, contact your Fiat Dealership to update the system because the tow-hook will be detected as an obstacle by the central sensors. GENERAL WARNINGS When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles set above or under the sensors. Objects set close to the car front or rear part, under certain circumstances are not detected and could therefore cause damages to the car. Parking sensors regular operation could be affected by the following conditions: ❒ Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by multiple painting. ❒ Sensors detect non-existing objects, “echo disturbances” due to: car washing, rain (with very strong wind), hail, etc. ❒ Indications sent by the sensors can also be altered by ultrasound systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic hammers) set nearby the car. ❒ Parking sensors performance can also be affected by sensor position; for example changes to the car set-up due to shock-absorber wear, suspensions, changing tyres, loading the car too much, implementing special tuning to lower the car. ❒ Presence of obstacles at the upper side of the car not be detected since the system detects obstacles that could knock into the lower side of the car. SAFETY DEVICES In the event of sensor failures, when engaging the reverse gear the driver is warned by the turning on of warning light è on the instrument panel or by symbol t, together with the message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”). CORRECT USE OF THE CAR FAILURE INDICATIONS Sensors enable the system to monitor the front part (versions with 8 sensors) and the rear part of the car.

To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump filler. Use petrol with a rated octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95. IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution. IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small amount or in an emergency, as this would damage the catalyst beyond repair. DIESEL ENGINES If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the formation of paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel filter. In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type arctic type (mountains/cold areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for the current temperature, mix diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions stated on the can, putting first the antifreeze in the tank and then the diesel fuel. Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is used/parked in the mountains or in cold areas for a long period. In this event you are recommended to keep an amount of fuel higher than 50% in the tank. The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European Specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally 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. REFUELLING To ensure full tank refuelling, carry out two top-up operations once the delivery gun has turned off twice. Avoid further top-up operations which could cause faults in the fuel system. ❒ three-way catalytic converter; ❒ Lambda sensor; fig. 108 ❒ fuel evaporation system. F0Q0695m FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 108 To carry out fuelling, open flap A and unscrew cap B: the cap is fitted with an antiloss device C which fastens it to the flap so it cannot be mislaid. The cap B is fitted with key-lock: open the lid A, then, turn the ignition key in the lock and open the cap. When refuelling, secure the cap to the device inside the lid as shown in the figure. WARNING Keep naked flames or lighted cigarettes away from 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. In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected. The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following: ❒ oxidising catalytic converter; ❒ exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.); ❒ Lambda sensors; ❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where provided it is fitted instead of the Lambda sensor). SAFETY DEVICES The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following: CORRECT USE OF THE CAR After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise until it clicks, then turn the key clockwise, remove it and close the flap. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank may cause light pressurising in the tank. A little breathing off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely normal.

The diesel particular filter has been adopted to eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future law regulations. During normal use of the car, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter. Since this filter physically traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles. Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the conditions of use of the car. During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be considered as faults and they do not affect car performance and environment. Diesel Particulate Filter clogged If the warning light h on the instrument panel turns on (together with the message on the display) refer to section “Warning lights and messages”. WARNING During normal service the catalyst and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not therefore park the car over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard. S.B.R.

SYSTEM With multifunction display, the S.B.R. system can only be reset at Fiat Dealership. The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system (Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a buzzer which, together with the turning on of warning light < on the instrument panel, warns the driver to fasten the seat belt. With reconfigurable multifunction display, the S.B.R. system can also be reset through the set-up menu. For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat Dealership. IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioning device, wear the seat belt keeping it firmly close to the chest and pelvis. Pretensioner activation may produce a small amount of smoke. This smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire hazard. WARNING The pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it, have it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the label located inside the lower oddment compartment. Pretensioners should be replaced at Fiat Dealership as this date approaches. LOAD LIMITERS To increase passenger’s safety, the front and rear (where provided) seat belt reels contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force acting on the shoulders during the belt restraining action in case of front crash. SAFETY DEVICES Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6 hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR To increase the efficiency of the front and rear (where provided) seat belts, the car is fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event of violent front and side crash, rewind the seat belts a few centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining action begins. The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even when guiding it manually. The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or greasing. Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates its efficiency. If due to unusual natural events (floods, seas storm, etc.) the device has been affected by water and mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

Always fasten the seat belts before starting. Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt. Of course they must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes under the abdomen (as illustrated in fig. 5). fig. 6 F0Q0038m IMPORTANT The belt should not be twisted. The upper part should pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part should adhere to the pelvis (as shown in fig. 6) and not the abdomen of the passenger. Do not use any objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.) to keep the belts away from the body. WARNING For maximum safety, keep the back of your seat upright, lean back into it and make sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest and hips. Make sure that the seat belts of the front and rear passengers are fastened at all times! You increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision if you travel with the belts unfastened. fig. 7 F0Q0039m IMPORTANT Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger’s lap with a single belt to protect them both fig. 7. Do not fasten other objects to the body. Observe the following: ❒ replace the seat belt when showing significant wear or cut signs. ❒ always use the belt with the tap taut and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments; ❒ after a serious accident, replace the belt being worn at that time, even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the seat belts if pretensioners have been activated; ❒ to clean the belts, wash by hand with neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach or dyes or other chemical substance that might weaken the fibres; SAFETY DEVICES ❒ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside; CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WARNING If the belt has been subjected to heavy stress, for example after an accident, it should be changed completely together with the anchors, anchor fastening screws and the pretensioners. In fact, even if the belt has no visible defects, it could have lost its resilience. HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WARNING Under no circumstances should the components of the seat belts and pretensioners be tampered with or removed.

This is even more important for children. This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC. Compared with adults, their head is proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while the muscles and bone structure are not completely developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary, other than adult seat belts. The results of research on the best child restraint systems are contained in the European Standard EEC-R44. This Standard enforces the use of restraint systems classified in five groups: Group 0 0-10 kg in weight Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight Group 1 9-18 kg in weight Group 2 15-25 kg in weight Group 3 22-36 kg in weight As it may be noted, the groups overlap partly and in fact, in commerce it is possible to find devices that cover more than one weight group. All restraint devices must bear the certification data, together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed label which must absolutely never be removed. Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems, children are considered as adults and wear the seat belts normally. Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each weight group, which are the recommended choice, as they have been designed and experimented specifically for Fiat cars. WARNING With front passenger’s air bag active do not place cradle child’s seats facing backwards on the front passenger seat since the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal regardless of the seriousness of the crash. You are advised to carry children always on the rear seat, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash. WARNING SERIOUS DANGER Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the front passenger’s seat with the cradle seat facing backwards, passenger’s air bags (front and side bags, where provided), shall be deactivated through the setup menu. Deactivation shall be checked through the instrument panel warning light “. The front passenger’s seat shall also be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between child’s seat and dashboard. F0Q0430m GROUP 0 and 0+ GROUP 1 Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp deceleration. Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing forwards, with seat fitted with front cushion, through which the car seat belt restrains both child and seat fig. 9. The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 8 and in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts. WARNING The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to the instructions for fastening which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining system you are using.

INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 10-05-2007 SAFETY DEVICES 105-128 BRAVO GB 120 The car is fitted with front air bags for the driver, for the passenger and with driver’s knees air bag (where provided). Front air bags are designed to protect car’s occupants in front crashes and therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, rollovers, etc.) is not a system malfunction. In case of front crash, an electronic control unit, when required, triggers the inflation of the cushion according to the severity of the collision. The cushion immediately inflates, placing itself as a protection between the body of the front occupants and the structure that could cause injuries. Immediately after, the cushion deflates. The front driver / passenger air bags and the driver’s knees air bag (where provided) are not a replacement of but complementary to the use of belts, which should always be worn, as specified by law in Europe and most non European countries. In case of crash, a person not wearing the seat belt moves forward and may come into contact with the cushion while it is still inflating. Under this circumstance the protection offered by the air bag is reduced. Front air bag may not be activated in the following situations: ❒ front collisions against highly deformable objects not affecting the car front surface (e.g. bumper collision against guard rail, etc.); ❒ in case of wedging under other vehicles or protective barriers (for example under a truck or guard rail); as it offers no additional protection compared with the seat belts, consequently, it would be pointless. Therefore, failure to come into action in the above circumstances does not mean that the system is not working properly. WARNING Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering wheel or to the air bag cover on the passenger’s side or on the side roof lining. Do not put objects on the dashboard on passenger side since they could interfere with proper passenger air bag inflation and cause injuries to the car’s passengers. It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel. WARNING Always keep your hands on the steering wheel rim when driving, so that if the air bag is triggered, it can inflate without meeting any obstacles which could cause serious harm to you. Do not drive with the body bent forwards, keep the seat back rest in the erect position and lean your back well against it. F0Q0700m PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 16 It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained into a special recess in the dashboard, this cushion has a volume bigger than that of the driver. The driver’s and passenger’s front Air bags have been designed and calibrated to improve the protection of a person wearing seat belts.

In minor side crashes (for which the restraining action of the seat belts is sufficient), the air bags are not deployed. Therefore the front side bags (where provided) are not a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which you are recommended to always wear, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries. IMPORTANT In the event of side crash, you can obtain the best protection by the system keeping a correct position on the seat, allowing thus a correct window bag unfolding. IMPORTANT Do not wash seats with pressurised water or steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing stations). WARNING Do not hook rigid objects to the coat hooks and to the support handles. WARNING Do not cover the backrest of front seats with trims or covers that are not suitable to be used with side bags. WARNING Never rest head, arms and elbows on the door, on the windows and in the window bag area to prevent possible injuries during inflation phase. WARNING Never lean head, arms and elbows out of the window. 2) When the airbag inflates it emits a small amount of dusts. These dusts are harmless and is not the beginning of a fire; then the unfold cushion surface and the car interiors can be covered by a dusty remains: this dust can irritate skin and eyes. In case of contact, wash yourself using neutral soap and water. Every control, repair and replacement operations concerning the air bags must only be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership. If you are having the car scrapped, have the air bag system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the car changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of the method of use of air bags and the above warnings and also be given this “Owner Handbook”. 4) The triggering of pretensioners, front air bags and front side bags is decided in a differentiated manner, depending on the type of crash. The failure to deploy one or more of them does not mean that the system is not working properly. SAFETY DEVICES 3) Should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat Dealership to have the devices activated replaced and to have the system checked. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR 1) The front air bags and/or front and front side bags (where provided) may be deployed if the car is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the underbody area, such as for example violent shocks, against steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the car in big holes or sags in the road.

Contact Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked. WARNING Life and validity of pyrotechnic charge and coil contact are indicated on the label located inside the lower oddment compartment. As this date approaches, contact Fiat Dealership to have them replaced. WARNING Never travel with objects on your lap, in front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. between your lips; injury may result in the event of the air bag being triggered. WARNING If the car has been stolen or an attempt to steal it has been made, if it has been subjected to vandals or floods, have the air bag system checked by Fiat Dealership. SAFETY DEVICES WARNING The front air bag is triggered for shocks greater in magnitude than the pretensioners. For impacts between these two thresholds, it is therefore normal that only the pretensioners are triggered. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WARNING When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light “ (with passenger’s front Air bag on) turns on and flashes for few seconds to remind that the passenger’s air bag will be deployed in a crash, after which it should go off. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WARNING Remember that with the key engaged and at MAR, even with the engine not running, the air bags may be triggered on a stationary car if it is bumped by another moving car. Therefore, never seat children on the front seat even when the car is stationary. On the other hand, remember that with the key at STOP no safety system (air bags or pretensioners) is triggered in the event of an impact; in this case, failure to come into action cannot be considered as a sign that the system is not working properly.

Proceed as follows: The engine may be noisier than usual during the first seconds of operation, especially after it has not been used for a while. This characteristic feature of the hydraulic tappet system does not compromise functionality or reliability. This timing system for petrol engines was adopted to limit servicing. ❒ press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the accelerator; Engine starting is guaranteed up to a minimum temperature of –18°C (Italy and Middle Europe) and –20°C (North Europe). ❒ pull up the handbrake; ❒ set the gear lever to neutral; ❒ turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the moment the engine starts. If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting. If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light Y remains (or the symbol on display) lit together with warning light U, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the other keys provided with the car. We recommend that during the initial period you do not drive to full car performance (e.g.: excessive acceleration, long journeys at top speed, sharp braking, etc.). WARNING Running the engine in confined areas is extremely dangerous. The engine consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic and lethal gas. When the engine is switched off never leave the ignition key at MAR to prevent pointless current absorption from draining the battery. If you are still unable to start the engine, perform the emergency start-up procedure (see “Emergency start-up” in section “In an emergency”) and contact Fiat Dealership. IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR when the engine is off. ❒ set the gear lever to neutral; ❒ turn the ignition key to MAR. The warning lights m and Y (or the symbol on display) on the instrument panel will turn on; ❒ wait for the warning lights Y (or the symbol on display) and m to turn off. The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen; ❒ press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the accelerator; ❒ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light m turns off. If you wait too long you will lose the benefit of the work done by the glow plugs. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting. If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light Y on the instrument panel (or the symbol on display) stays on, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the other keys provided with the car. If you still cannot start the engine, contact Fiat Dealership. The warning light m will flash for 60 seconds at startup or during prolonged cranking to signal a fault in the glow plug heating system. You can use the car as usual if the engine starts but you should contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. SAFETY DEVICES ❒ Ensure that the handbrake is up; IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR when the engine is off. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Proceed as follows: IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator pedal shall be completely released while turning the ignition key to AVV.

IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment to fall. WARNING Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake pedal and steering wheel. ❒ Do not drive at full performance for the initial kilometres. Wait until the coolant temperature gauge starts moving. EMERGENCY START-UP If the instrument panel warning light Y (or the symbol on display) stays on with fixed light, contact Fiat Dealership. Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill as this could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair. A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines. The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats. ❒ Stop the engine and engage the handbrake; Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the car cannot be moved. ❒ Engage a gear (first if the car is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels steered. Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope. Do not leave the ignition key at MAR to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the car. Four or five clicks are generally enough when the car is on level ground while nine or ten may be required if the car is on a steep slope or laden. IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted. In cars fitted with front armrest, lift the latter so that it does not hinder the handbrake engaging procedure. SAFETY DEVICES Proceed as follows: fig. 1 F0Q0628m When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel warning light x will turn on. To release the handbrake: ❒ slightly lift the handbrake and press release button A-fig. 1; WARNING Never leave children unattended in the car. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the car and take it out with you. ❒ keep button A pressed and lower the lever. Warning light x will turn off.

IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear when it has stopped moving completely. With the engine running, before engaging the reverse, wait at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully down to prevent damage and grating of the gears. To engage reverse R from neutral, lift the sliding ring A-fig. 2 or A-fig. 3 under the knob and shift the lever to the right and back. fig. 2 F0Q0734m WARNING To change gears properly you must push the clutch pedal fully down. It is therefore essential that there is nothing under the pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and do not get in the way of the pedals. fig. 3 F0Q0602m Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as the force exerted, even if slight, could lead over time to premature wear on the gearbox internal components. The air conditioner is an additional load which greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption (on average up to +20%). When the temperature outside the car permits it, use the air vents where possible. Roof rack/ski rack GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Car maintenance Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the “Service schedule”. Tyres Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher. Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof as soon as they are no longer used. These accessories lower air penetration and adversely affect consumption levels. When needing to carry particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a trailer. Electric devices Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing the requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle). Spoilers The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels. SAFETY DEVICES Climate control Do not travel with too much luggage stowed in the boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving in town) and its trim greatly affects consumption and stability. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Here are some suggestions which may help you to keep the running costs of your car down and lower the amount of toxic emissions released into the atmosphere.

It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster. Unnecessary actions Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic lights or before switching off the engine. This and also double declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and also increase consumption and pollution. Top speed Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed. Avoid superfluous braking and accelerating, which cost in terms of both fuel and emissions. Acceleration Accelerating violently increasing the revs will greatly affect consumption and emissions: acceleration should be gradual and should not exceed the maximum torque. CONDITIONS OF USE Cold starting Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow the engine to reach optimum operating temperature. This results in a significant increase in consumption levels (from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emission of harmful substances. Traffic situations and road conditions Rather high consumption levels are tied to situations with heavy traffic, for example in queues with frequent use of the lower gears or in cities with many traffic lights. Also winding mountain roads and rough road surfaces adversely affect consumption. Gear selection As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low gear to obtain brilliant performance increases consumption. In the same way improper use of a high gear increases consumption, emissions an engine wear. Traffic hold-ups During prolonged hold-ups (traffic lights, level crossings) the engine should be switched off. The towing device should be fastened to the body by specialised personnel according to any additional and/or integrative information supplied by the Manufacturer of the device. The towing device must meet current regulations with reference to 94/20/EC Directive and subsequent amendments. For any version the towing device used must match the towable weight of the car on which it is to be installed. IMPORTANT Supplementary electric loads other than external lights (e.g. electric brake, electric winch, etc.) shall be used with running engine. For the electric connection a unified connector should be used which is generally placed on a special bracket normally fastened to the towing device, and a special ECU for external trailer light control shall be installed on the car. For the electrical connection, 7 or 13 pin 12VDC connection is to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow the instructions provided by the car manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer. IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be used with running engine. In addition to the electrical branches, the car electric system can only be connected to the supply cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an internal light, though not above 15W. For connections use the preset control unit with battery cable no less than 2.5 mm2. SAFETY DEVICES IMPORTANT NOTES For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted with a certified tow hook and an adequate electric system. Installation should be carried out by specialised personnel who release a special document for circulation on the road. Install any specific and/or additional rearview mirrors as specified by law. Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and overtaking takes longer depending on the overall weight. Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than constantly using the brake. The weight the trailer exerts on the car tow hook reduces by the same amount the actual car loading capacity. To make sure the maximum towable weight is not exceeded (given in the log book) account should be taken of the fully laden trailer, including accessories and personal belongings. Do not exceed the speed limits of the country you are driving in. In any case do not exceed 80 km/h. Any electric brake (or electric winch, etc.) should be supplied directly by the battery through a cable with a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm2. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES TOWING TRAILERS DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS Pagina 137 WARNING The ABS system with which the car may be fitted does not control the trailer braking system. Drive with extreme care on slippery roadbeds. WARNING Under no circumstances should the car brake system be altered to control the trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be fully independent of the car’s hydraulic system.

The winter features of these tyres are reduced considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. In this case, they should be replaced. IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max speed index below the one that can be reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger’s compartment, plainly in the driver’s view which states the max permissible speed of the snow tyres (as per EC Directive). All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking and better driveability. Remember that it is inappropriate to change the direction of rotation of tyres. WARNING The max speed for snow tyres with “Q” marking is 160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T” marking and 210 km/h for tyres with H marking. The Road Traffic Code speed limits must however be always strictly observed. Use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations. Snow chains should only be applied to the driving wheels (front wheels). Check the tension of the chains after the first few metres have been driven. Use snow chains with reduced size: for 195/65 R15” and 205/55 R16” tyres use snow chains with reduced size with max protrusion beyond the tyre profile of 9 mm. IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. SAFETY DEVICES Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the customer’s requirements. SNOW CHAINS CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres provided with the car. Due to the snow tyre features, under normal conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of these tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It is therefore necessary to limit their use to the purposes for which they are certified.

IMPORTANT Snow chains may not be used on tyres type 225/45 R17 91V and 225/40 R18 92V since interference can be generated with the surrounding components. Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 50 Km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered with snow to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed. CAR INACTIVITY If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the following precautions should be noted: ❒ park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ventilated premises; ❒ engage a gear; ❒ check that the handbrake is not engaged; ❒ disconnect the battery negative terminal; ❒ clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax; ❒ clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special compounds readily available. ❒ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass; ❒ slightly open the windows; ❒ cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate; ❒ inflate tyres to +0,5 bar above the normal specified pressure and check it at intervals; ❒ do not drain the engine cooling system. IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off the car alarm with the remote control. HILL HOLDER FAILURE ..................................................... 149 143 144 144 144 144 145 145 145 146 146 146 146 147 147 148 148 149 GLOW PLUG WARMING .................................................

Proceed as follows fig. 1: ❒ Connect positive terminals (+ near the terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead; ❒ With a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery and to an earthing point E on the engine or the gearbox of the car to be started; fig. 1 F0Q0733m IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite the flammable gas from the battery. If the other battery is fitted in another car, prevent accidental contacts between the metal parts of the two cars. ❒ Start the engine; ❒ When the engine has been started, remove the leads reversing the order above. If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not insist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Under no circumstances should a battery charger be used to start the engine: it could damage the electronic systems and in particular the ignition and injection control units. WARNING Do not carry out this procedure if you lack experience; if it is not done correctly it can cause very intense electrical discharges. In addition, the fluid contained in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. You are also advised not to put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the battery and not to cause sparks. BUMP STARTING Never bump start the engine (by pushing, towing, or coasting downhill) as this could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair. IMPORTANT Remember that the servobrake and electrical power steering system are not operating until the engine is started, a greater effort will therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS As an alternative to the Fix&Go kit, the car can be provided (upon request) with space-saver spare wheel or standard size spare wheel; wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-saver spare wheel call for some precautions as listed below. SAFETY DEVICES WARNING The space-saver spare wheel (where provided) is specific to your car, do not use it on other models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your car. The spacesaver spare wheel shall only be used in an emergency. It shall only be used for the distance necessary to reach a service point and the car speed shall not exceed 80 Km/h. The spare wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the main cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be removed or covered. Never fit a wheel cap on a space-saver spare wheel. The sticker gives the following information in four languages: caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace by normal wheel as soon as possible. Do not cover this label. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR The car is provided with the “Quick tyre repair kit Fix&Go automatic“: see the relevant instructions for use in next chapter. WARNING Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations: hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on board should leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from oncoming traffic while the wheel is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface, chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable devices to prevent the car from rolling.

Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns or fast cornerings. The life of the spare wheel is approx. 3000 Km, after this distance it should be replaced with another of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver spare wheel. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver spare wheels should never be used together. Do not grease the threads of bolts before installing them: they might slip out. WARNING The jack shall only be used for changing wheels on the car with which it is provided or on cars of the same model. It must not be used for other purposes such as for instance raising cars of other models. In no case should it be used for repairs under the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack for higher capacities than stated on its label. Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency. WARNING Fasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion. Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never place tools between the rim and tyre. Check and restore, if required, the pressure of tyres and spare wheel to the values given in section “Technical specifications”. Pagina 159 DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 9:19 B ❒ for versions with Fix&Go automatic or take the tool kid from the luggage compartment; Please note: ❒ the jack weight is 1,76 kg; ❒ the jack requires no adjustment; ❒ for versions with small spare wheel, unscrew the retaining device E-fig. 3, take the tool kit F, place near to the wheel to be replaced and then take the small spare wheel G; ❒ the jack cannot be repaired: if it breaks it must be replaced with a new genuine jack; ❒ no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on the jack.

However, to make sure that it is in efficient conditions at routine intervals have it checked at Fiat Dealership only. WARNING The liquid in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not bring naked flames or possible sources of sparks near to the battery: risk of fire and explosion. WARNING Running the battery with low fluid level can damage the battery beyond repair and could also cause its explosion. REPLACING THE BATTERY If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part having the same specifications. If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the service intervals given in the “Service schedule” in this section will no longer be valid. Refer to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer. Incorrect fitting of electrical and electronic accessories can seriously damage the car. If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, free-hand phone kit, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more powerful battery. Batteries contain substances that are very harmful for the environment. You are advised to have the battery changed at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly equipped for disposing of used batteries respecting nature and the law. WARNING If the car is left inactive for long periods at cold, remove the battery and store it in a warm place to prevent freezing. WARNING When working on the battery or near it, always wear the proper goggles. ❒ the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however provided with an automatic system for switching off internal lights; ❒ do not keep accessories (e.g.: sound system, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is not running; ❒ before performing any operation on the electrical system, disconnect the battery negative cable; ❒ battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened. If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car’s electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more powerful battery. SAFETY DEVICES ❒ when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed properly; In fact, since these devices continue absorbing energy even when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR To avoid draining your battery and lengthen its life, observe the following indications: Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk of the battery electrolyte freezing (this may even occur at -10°C). If the car is inactive for a long period of time, refer to “Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use of the car”.

The pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold. For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Technical specifications” section. Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 13: A: normal pressure: tread evenly worn. B: low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges. C: high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre. Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, comply with the laws in the country where the car is being driven. fig. 13 F0Q0101m IMPORTANT NOTES ❒ As far as possible, avoid sharp braking and screech starts, etc. Be careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres; ❒ Periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of these occur, have the car seen to at a Fiat Dealership; ❒ avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres; ❒ Tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks in the tread rubber are a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres have been on the car for over 6 years, they should be checked by specialised personnel, to see if they can still be used. Also remember to check the space-saver spare wheel; ❒ In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those of dubious origin; ❒ If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve; ❒ To allow even wear between the front and rear tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the car so as to not reverse the direction of rotation. WARNING Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures exceeding 150°C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired. As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned, carefully follow the “Service schedule” in this section. Indeed ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.

Change the blades if the rubber edge is warped or worn out. You should in any case change them approximately once a year. A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades: ❒ if the temperature fall below zero, make sure that ice has not frozen the rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product; ❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor and overheating; ❒ do not operate the windscreen and rear window wipers on dry glass.

INDEX CAR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE Not to be underestimated is also the abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand and mud and gravel raised by other cars. IN AN EMERGENCY ❒ seasonal environment conditions. 208 ❒ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to corrosion; ❒ Spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheelhouse internal parts and other parts with highly protective wax products; ❒ Spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function, in the more exposed points: underdoor, inner fender parts, edges, etc.; ❒ Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside. BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due to rust of any original element of the structure or body. For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the Fiat Warranty booklet. ❒ remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to it if the car is washed in an automatic system; Paintwork does not only serve an aestethic purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet metal. In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you are advised to have the necessary touching up carried out immediately to avoid the formation of rust. Use only original paint products for touching up (see “Bodywork paint identification plate” in section “Technical specification”). Normal paint maintenance consists in washing at intervals depending on the conditions and environment of use. For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the car more frequently. ❒ wash the body using a low pressure jet of water; ❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing with the sponge; ❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather. When drying, take particular care with the less visible parts like door surrounds, bonnet and around the headlights where water may stagnate. The car should not be taken to a closed area immediately, but left in the open so that residual water can evaporate. Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork. Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car. Where possible, do not park under trees; the resinous substance many species release give the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust processes. IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. SAFETY DEVICES Paint Detergents cause water pollution. Therefore the car should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the liquid used in the washing process. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR To wash the car correctly proceed as follows: WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS Pagina 209 IN AN EMERGENCY 9:21 CAR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 10-05-2007 INDEX 191-212 BRAVO GB 209 INDEX CAR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR SAFETY DEVICES DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 191-212 BRAVO GB 210 10-05-2007 9:21 Pagina 210 Front headlights Engine compartment INTERIORS IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plastic lens. At the end of the winter the engine compartment should be carefully washed, without directing the jet against electronic control units. Contact a specialised workshop to have this done. Periodically check that water is not trapped under the mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal. Windows IMPORTANT The car should be washed with the engine cold and the ignition key at STOP. After washing make sure that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and various covers) have not been damaged or removed. Use specific window cleaner product. Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the transparency. IMPORTANT The inside of the rearscreen should be wiped gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device. CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND VELVET PARTS Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened. Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of water and neutral detergent. If the stain persists, use specific products, carefully following the instructions for use. IMPORTANT Never use spirit or alcoholbased products. INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS For routine cleaning of interior plastic parts use a soft cloth moistened with water and neutral soap. Remove grease or persisting stains using appropriate solventfree products designed to preserve appearance and colour of plastic components. IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean the instrument panel. WARNING Never use flammable products like oil ether or rectified petrol for cleaning car interiors. Electrostatic discharges generated by rubbing during cleaning operations could cause fire. SAFETY DEVICES Remove liquid or grease stains with a dry absorbent cloth without rubbing. Then wipe with a soft cloth or chamois leather with water and neutral soap. Fabric upholstery of your car is purpose-made to withstand common wear resulting from normal use of the car. It is however absolutely necessary to prevent hard and/or prolonged scratching/scraping caused by clothing accessories like metallic buckles, studs, “Velcro” fixings, etc. that stressing locally the fabric could break yarns and damage the upholstery as a consequence. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Remove dried on dirt with lightly moistened chamois leather or cloth without pressing too hard.

The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption: ❒ extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car; the speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h; ❒ combined consumption: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extraurban consumption. IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured. ❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car; WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR SAFETY DEVICES DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 213-236 BRAVO GB INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY Fuel consumption according to Directive 1999/100/EC (litres x 100 km) 230 1.4 16V 1.4 T-JET 150 HP 1.9 Multijet 8V 1.9 Multijet 8V 90 HP (●) 1.9 Multijet 8V 115 HP (●) 1.9 Multijet 16V Urban 8.7 9.3 6.9 6.8 7.6 Extra-urban 5.6 5.8 4.3 4.2 4.5 Combined 6.7 7.1 5.3 5.2 5.6 (●) Versions for specific markets Pagina 231 1.4 16V 1.4 T-JET 150 HP 1.9 Multijet 8V 1.9 Multijet 8V 90 HP (●) 1.9 Multijet 8V 115 HP (●) 1.9 Multijet 16V 158 167 139 137 149 (●) Versions for specific markets CORRECT USE OF THE CAR CO2 emissions according to 1999/100/EC Directive (g/km) WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES The CO2 emission levels at the exhaust given in the following table refer to combined consumption.

With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life span without additional costs. The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials. Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to our customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of your nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web site or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000. * Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t 237-244 BRAVO GB 10-05-2007 9:23 Pagina 241 237-244 BRAVO GB 10-05-2007 9:23 Pagina 242 237-244 BRAVO GB 10-05-2007 9:23 Pagina 243 NOTES 237-244 BRAVO GB 10-05-2007 9:23 Pagina 244 COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar) STANDARD TYRES Medium load Full load Front Rear Front Size 1.4 16V 1.9 Multijet 8V 1.4 T-JET 150 HP 1.9 Multijet 16V Rear 195/65 R15 91H 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 205/55 R16 91H 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 225/45 R17 91V 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 195/65 R15 91H 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 205/55 R16 91H 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 225/45 R17 91V 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 225/40 R18 92V 2.6 2.6 2.9 2.9 195/65 R15 91V 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 205/55 R16 91V 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 225/45 R17 91V 2.3 2.3 2.6 2.6 225/40 R18 92V 2.6 2.6 2.9 2.9 Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed inflation pressure when the tyres are warm.
