ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC

DEVICE INSTALLATION 

Electrical and electronic devices installed

after buying the car by after-market ser-

vice must carry the following label:

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation

of transceiving devices provided that they

are installed according to rules of good en-

gineering practice respecting the manu-

facturer’s indications by a specialised cen-

tre.

IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow

the car on the road in the event of as-

sembly of devices which imply modifica-

tions to the features of the car. This may

also cause lapse of warranty in relation to

faults caused by the change or either di-

rectly or indirectly related to it.

Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for dam-

age caused by the installation of acces-

sories either not supplied or recom-

mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not in-

stalled in compliance with the provided in-

structions.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS

AND CELLULAR PHONES 

Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs

mobile phones, HAM radio systems and

the like) shall not be used inside the car

unless a separate aerial is mounted on the

roof.

IMPORTANT The use of similar devices

inside the passenger compartment (with-

out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-

quency electromagnetic fields which, am-

plified by the resonance effects inside the

passenger compartment, may cause elec-

trical systems equipping the car to mal-

function. This could compromise safety in

addition to constituting a potential hazard

for the passengers.

In addition, transmission and reception of

these devices may be affected by the

shielding effect of the car body.

As concerns EC-approved mobile phones

(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with

the instructions for use provided by the

mobile phone’s manufacturer.

ACCESSORIES

PURCHASED

BY THE OWNER

If after buying the car, you decide to install

electrical accessories that require a per-

manent electric supply (alarm, satellite an-

titheft system, etc.) or accessories that in

any case burden the electric supply, con-

tact Fiat Dealership, whose qualified per-

sonnel, besides suggesting the most suit-

able devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fi-

at, will also evaluate the overall electric ab-

sorption, checking whether the car’s elec-

tric system is able to withstand the load

required, or whether it needs to be inte-

grated with a more powerful battery.
