Page 2 Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Bravo. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all your new Fiat Bravo features and use it in the best possible way. You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time.
Page 3 MUST BE READ! REFUELLING Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the Eu- ropean specification EN 228. Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. Using other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty cover for caused dam- ages as a consequence.
Page 4 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 sup- port the required load.
