Dear Customer, Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Idea. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all your new Fiat Idea’s features and use it in the best possible way. You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time. You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the maximum from your Fiat Idea’s technological features. You will find very valuable tips for your own safety, the car’s wellbeing and about how to protect the environment. You are recommended to read carefully the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols, at the end of the page:

personal safety;

the car’s wellbeing;

environmental protection.

The enclosed “Warranty Booklet” lists the services that Fiat offers to its Customers: ❒ the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity ❒ the range of additional services available to Fiat Customers

Best regards and good motoring!

This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Idea versions. As a consequence, you should consider only the information which is related to the engine and bodywork version of the car you purchased. 001-035 idea GB 1 ed 10-07-2008 8:27 Pagina 2

MUST BE READ!

REFUELLING Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95. K Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the 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.

ENGINE STARTING Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started. Diesel engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the Y and m warning lights to go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine nee- ┮ dles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental protection is fitted in your car. 001-035 idea GB 1 ed 10-07-2008 8:27 Pagina 3

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can support the required load. ▵

CODE card Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic code written on the CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

SCHEDULED SERVICING Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE Owner Handbook CONTAINS… …information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) ! (the car’s wellbeing). 001-035 idea GB 1 ed 10-07-2008 8:27 Pagina 4

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down by specific

DASHBOARD European Directives. AND CONTROLS The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption: ❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car; SAFETY DEVICES ❒ 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. OF THE CAR CORRECT USE 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.
