Page 2 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 the features of your Fiat Idea and use it in the best possible way.
Page 3 READ THIS CAREFULLY! REFUELLING Petrol engines: refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of 95 or higher only. Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of war- ranty in relation to the damage caused.
Page 4 If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric sys- tem can support the required load.
