❒ three-way catalytic converter (catalytic converter)
❒ oxygen sensors
❒ evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test,
with one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions:
❒ oxidising catalytic converter
❒ exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
❒ particulate filter (DPF).
WARNING
The catalytic converter develops high
temperature during operation. Do not
park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles
or other flammable material: fire hazard.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(Multijet versions with DPF only)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel
engines. The diesel particulate filter has been GETTING TO

During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control
unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of
route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate SAFETY
how much particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should
be regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by STARTING AND

GETTING TO
KNOW YOUR The car is provided with front air bags for the driver

bags - window bags.
SAFETY FRONT AIR BAGS
The front air bags (driver, passenger driver's knee
bag) protect the occupants of the front seats in the
STARTING AND event of moderate to serious front impacts by
DRIVING positioning the bag between the occupant and the
steering wheel or the dashboard.
Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions

MESSAGES
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate in
the event of a head-on crash.
IN AN
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself
EMERGENCY between the front occupants body and the
structures which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.
SERVICING AND The front airbags (driver's, passenger's, driver's knees
MAINTENANCE air bags) are not a replacement for but
complementary to the belts, which you are
recommended to always wear, as specified by law in
TECHNICAL Europe and most non-European countries.
SPECIFICATIONS
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt will move forward and come into contact with
the bag which is still inflating. The protection offered
INDEX by the cushion is reduced in such a case.
Front air bags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❒ front collisions against highly deformable objects
not affecting the front surface of the car (e.g.
bumper collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒ car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activation would
be inappropriate. Lack of deployment in such cases is
consequently not the sign of a fault.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard
in the passenger side airbag area, on side
upholstery on roof and on the seats. Never put
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's
side dashboard since they could interfere with
correct inflation of the air bag and also cause
serious injury to the passengers.
The front air bags (driver, passenger, driver's knee
bags) are designed and calibrated to protect front
seat passengers wearing seat belts.
Their volume at the moment of maximum inflation
fills most of the space between the steering wheel
and the driver, between the lower post guard and the
knees on passenger side and between the dashboard
and the passenger.

92
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor
frontal collisions (for which the restraining action
of the seat belts is sufficient). Safety belts must
always be worn. In the event of frontal collisions they
guarantee correct positioning of the passenger.
Driver's front air bag

 FUEL CONSUMPTION
GETTING TO
KNOW YOUR The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests
CAR set down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
SAFETY ❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒ extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car: speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h;
STARTING AND ❒ combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63%
DRIVING of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the
WARNING vehicle, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, vehicle load, presence of roof racks
LIGHTS AND and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
MESSAGES consumption figures than those measured.

The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not
incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In particular, in almost all European
Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of
STARTING AND charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the
DRIVING vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Dealerships or
WARNING Fiat-authorised collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high
LIGHTS AND quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the
MESSAGES surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat and Fiat
