General safety
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
di󰀨erent places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identication information for the vehicle.
For all work on your vehicle, use a
qualied workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a Fiat Dealership is able to provide.
Depending on country regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: high visibility safety vests,
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, re extinguisher, rst aid kit, mud
aps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical accessories:
– The tting of electrical equipment
or accessories not approved by Fiat may
cause excessive current consumption and
faults and failures with the electrical system
of your vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership
for information on the range of approved
accessories.
– As a safety measure, access to the
diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's
electronic systems, is reserved strictly for
Fiat Dealerships or qualied workshops,
equipped with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic
systems that could cause breakdowns or
serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot
be held responsible if this advice is not
followed.
– Any modication or adaptation not
intended or authorised by Fiat or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
dened by the Manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the commercial warranty.
Installation of accessory radio
communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication
transmitter with an external aerial, you must
without fail contact a Fiat Dealership for the
specication of transmitters which can be
tted (frequency, maximum power, aerial
position, specic installation requirements),
in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
Declarations of conformity for radio
equipment
The relevant certicates are available on the
brand website:

Changes/Alterations to the
car
Warning
Any change or alteration of the car might
seriously a󰀨ect its safety and road grip, thus
causing accidents, in which the occupants could
even be fatally injured.
Accessories purchased by the owner
If after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a permanent
electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-
theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any
case burden the electrical supply, contact a
Fiat Dealership, whose personnel will check
whether the electrical system of the car is able to
withstand the load required, or whether it needs
to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Take care when tting additional spoilers,
alloy wheel rims or non-standard wheel
hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the
brakes and a󰀨ect e󰀩ciency under sharp,
repeated braking or on long descents.
Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal
stroke (mats, etc.).
Installing electrical/Electronic devices
Electrical and electronic devices installed after
buying the car in the context of after-sales
service must carry the following label:
