THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulate signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the “password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.

OPERATION

Each time the key is fitted into the ignition switch, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is removed, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit. If the code has not been recognised correctly, the warning light 📋 (where provided) turns on accompanied by the related message on the display (see chapter "Warning lights and messages").

In this case, the key should be removed and refitted; if the lock continues, possibly try again with the other key provided with the car. If it is still not possible to start the car contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Every key has its own code, which must be memorised by the system control unit. To memorise new keys, up to a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Dealership.

Warning light 📋 coming on when driving

☐ If the warning light 📋 turns on, this means that the system is running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop). At the first stop, turn the ignition key to OFF and then back to ON: if no failure is detected warning light 📋 will not come on.
☐ If the warning light 📝 stays on, repeat the procedure described previously leaving the key at OFF for over 30 seconds. Should the inconvenience persists, contact a Fiat Dealership.

The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks.

THE KEYS

CODE CARD fig. 5

The car is delivered with two copies of the ignition key and with the CODE card which bears the following:

□ the electronic code A
☐ the mechanical key code B to be given to the Fiat Dealership when ordering duplicate keys.

IMPORTANT In order to ensure perfect efficiency of the electronic devices contained inside the keys, they should never be exposed to direct sunlight.

IMPORTANT Before carrying out the emergency door locking, check whether the independent boot locking function on the multifunction display set-up menu is off (see paragraph "Multifunction display").

ALARM (where provided)

WHEN THE ALARM IS TRIGGERED

The alarm comes into action in the following cases:

□ unlawful opening of one of the doors, bonnet or boot (perimetral protection);
□ attempt to start the engine with unauthorised key;
□ battery cable cutting;
□ presence of moving bodies in the passenger's compartment (volumetric protection);
□ abnormal raising/sloping of the car.

Depending on the markets, the cutting in of the alarm causes operation of the siren and direction indicators (for about 26 seconds). The ways of operating and the number of cycles may vary depending on the markets.

A maximum number of sound/sight cycles is however envisaged.

Volumetric and anti-raising protections can be cut off by operating the front ceiling light controls (see paragraphs “Volumetric protection sensors” and “Anti-raising sensor” on the following pages).

IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE system, which is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

HOW TO ACTIVATE THE ALARM fig. 12

With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and ignition key to OFF or removed, point the key with remote control or removed, point the key with remote control in the direction of the car, then press and release the button 🔒.

With the exception of certain markets, the system sounds a "beep" and the doors are locked.

Engagement of the alarm is preceded by a self-diagnostic test. If a fault is detected the system sounds a further warning "beep" and the display shows the relevant message (see section "Warning lights and messages").

In this case, switch the alarm system off by pressing button ☐, check that the doors, bonnet and tailgate are properly shut, then switch the system on again by pressing button ☐.

VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION SENSORS

The volumetric sensors are located inside the front ceiling light in the passenger's compartment. To make sure that the volumetric sensors are working properly, check that doors, boot, bonnet, windows and sunroof (where provided) are shut.

Anti-raising protection deactivation

If it is necessary to switch on the alarm when animals or people are in the car, press button A-fig. 13 on the front ceiling light to deactivate the volumetric protection.

Deactivation is needed also in the presence of additional independent heater and when it is switched on with the remote control.

ANTI-RAISING SENSOR

The anti-raising sensor detects any abnormal car raising/sloping, even partial (e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).

This sensor can detect the smallest car sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally and transversally. Sideslip angle changes lower than 0.5^/min . (e.g.: slow tyre flattening) are not considered).

Anti-raising protection deactivation

To deactivate the anti-raising protection (for example when towing the car with alarm on) press button B-fig. 14 on the front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on until activating the central door opening again.

INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS TO BREAK IN

Any attempt to break in is indicated by turning on of warning light (if provided) on the instrument panel with the relevant message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").

HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM SYSTEM

To deactivate the alarm system completely (for instance during prolonged inactivity of the car) simply lock the car using the emergency locking.

IMPORTANT To cut-out the alarm if remote control batteries are down or the system is failing, fit the key into the ignition switch and turn it to ON.

DEAD LOCK DEVICE (where provided)

This safety device enables to inhibit:

☐ door internal handles;
☐ button A and B for locking/unlocking the doors fig. 15;

thus hindering doors opening from inside the passenger's compartment in case of attempt to break-into (e.g. window breaking).

The dead lock device guarantees the best protection against unwanted access. Therefore, it should be actuated every time the car is parked and left unattended.

WARNING

If the battery of the key with dead lock device can be activated only using the metal insert of the key on the driver's side door as described previously: in this case the dead lock device is active only on the rear doors.

WARNING

Once the dead lock device has been actuated, doors cannot be opened from inside the car in any way whatsoever. For this reason, make sure there are no persons left inside the car.

fig. 16 F0L0100m

Device activation fig. 16

The device is automatically activated on every door in the following cases:

□ pressing twice button 🔒 of the key with remote control

Device activation is signalled by three flashes of the direction indicators and flashing of the led on the driver door panel (see the table on next page).

Should one of the doors be not perfectly closed, the dead lock device is not activated, thus preventing that a person getting into the car from the open door remains blocked inside the passenger's compartment when he/she closes the door.

Device deactivation

The device is deactivated automatically on every door in the following cases:

☐ when unlocking the doors by the remote control;
□ when unlocking only the driver's door by the remote control;
☐ when turning the ignition key to ON.

IMPORTANT The emergency metal insert will unlock only the door.

IMPORTANT Window opening operation is a consequence of a door unlocking control; window closing operation is a consequence of a door locking control.

IGNITION SWITCH

The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 17:

☐ OFF: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked. Certain electrical devices (e.g.: sound system, power windows...) can work.
☐ ON: driving position. All electrical devices are powered.
☐ START: engine starting.

The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety system that, in the event the engine is not started, turns back the ignition key to OFF before repeating the starting operation.

START ON OFF

WARNING

If the ignition device is tampered with (e.g.: attempted have it checked over by a Fiat ship as soon as possible.

WARNING

When getting out of the car, always remove the key to

prevent any occupants from accidentally activating the controls. Remember to engage the handbrake and if the car is parked on uphill slope to engage the first gear. If the car is facing downhill, engage the reverse gear (position P with automatic transmission). Never leave unsupervised children in the car.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engaging

The steering column lock will engage 5 seconds after removing the key from the ignition switch (engine off).

Disengaging

The steering column lock will disengage after fitting the key into the ignition switch.

IMPORTANT Switching the engine off when the car is running will not engage the steering column lock. The multifunction display will show the relevant message (see section "Warning lights and Messages").

IMPORTANT If, after trying to turn the instrument panel on and/or to start the engine, the display will show the message "Check vehicle protection system", repeat the operation rocking the steering wheel to facilitate steering unlocking. Displaying of this message does not impair steering column lock operation.

IMPORTANT When the vehicle is moving, the electronic key must remain in the ignition device. That ensures that the steering lock is disabled during vehicle handling (e.g., when the vehicle is towed).

WARNING

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever aftermarket operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that could badly affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with homologation requirements.

INSTRUMENTS

REV. COUNTER fig. 18

Rev counter shows engine rpm.

The rev. counter end of scale values can vary based on the version.

IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is "over-revving" resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.

30 40 50 60 70 80 0 20 10 gmx100 Fig. 18 F: 0L0512m

When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or sudden highering of the speed.

This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example when activating the climate control system or the fan. In particular a slow change in the speed preserves the battery charge.

E F H O A fig. 19 F 0L0513m

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 19

This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.

The reserve warning light A turns on to indicate that approx. 7 to 9 litres of fuel are left in the tank.

□ turn selector B (to select the passenger door mirror);
☐ use selector C to adjust the passenger door mirror as required to obtain best position for parking manoeuvres;
☐ keep one of the seat storing/recalling buttons pressed for 3 seconds at least;

Together with the passenger door mirror "parking" position, also the driver seat and door mirror positions will be stored.

The sound of a buzzer confirms that the mirror position has been stored.

Recalling the "parking" position of the passenger door mirror

To recall automatically the "parking" position of the passenger door mirror, proceed as follows:

☐ engage reverse with car stopped and ignition key to ON;
☐ turn selector B to select the passenger door mirror; the mirror will set automatically to the previously stored position.

If no parking position has been stored, when engaging reverse the passenger door mirror will slightly lower to aid the driver during parking.

The mirror will automatically return to its original position in the following cases:

☐ 10 seconds after disengaging reverse;
☐ when the car speed exceeds 10 km/h in forward gear;
☐ when turning selector B to neutral position or to driver mirror position.

IMPORTANT "Parking" position can only be stored or recalled with ignition key at ON.

Automatic door mirror realignment

Each time the ignition key is turned to ON, door mirrors return automatically to the last position set and/or recalled at last removal of the electronic key.

This enables mirror alignment if when leaving the car parked one of the door mirrors has been moved manually and/or accidentally.

LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM

During winter, the climate control system must be turned on at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Before summer, have the system checked at a Fiat Dealership.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (where provided)

GENERAL

The car is fitted with a two-zone climate control system which makes it possible to separately adjust the air temperature on the driver's side and on the passenger's side. Temperature control is based on the "equivalent temperature" logic, i.e.: the system continuously works to keep constant the comfort inside the passenger compartment and to compensate any variation of the outside climate conditions, including sunshine detected by a proper sensor provided for the purpose.

The system is also fitted with AQS (Air Quality System) sensor that turns on air recirculation automatically when it detects the presence of outside polluted air (for example when driving in the city, queues and tunnels).

The climate control system automatically controls and adjusts the following parameters and functions:

☐ air temperature at driver/front passenger/rear passenger vents;
☐ air distribution at driver/front passenger vents;
☐ fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
☐ compressor activation (to cool/dehumidify air);
□ air recirculation.

All the above functions can be changed manually by selecting the required function/s and by changing the set parameters. In this way the automatic control is deactivated; the system will resume automatic control only for safety reasons (e.g. risk of window misting up).

Manual selections prevail over automatic ones and remain in storage until the user decides to resume automatic control by pressing the proper button, except when the system cuts in for particular safety conditions.

The control of functions not changed manually remains automatic.

The amount of air admitted to the passenger compartment does not depend on the car speed, since it is electronically controlled by the fan.

The temperature of the air admitted to the passenger compartment is always controlled automatically according to the temperatures set on the driver's and front passenger's display (except when the system is off or under certain conditions when the compressor is off).

The following parameters and functions can be set or changed manually:

☐ air temperatures on driver/front passenger side;
☐ fan speed (continuous variation);
☐ air distribution on seven levels (driver/front passenger side);
□ climate control compressor on/off;
☐ monozone/two-zone distribution priority;
□ fast demisting/defrosting;
□ air recirculation;
□ rear heated window.

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM ON

The system can be started in different ways, but it is advisable to press one of the AUTO buttons and then to turn the knobs to set the temperatures required on the display.

Since the system controls two zone of the passenger's compartment, the driver and the front passenger can select different temperatures.

This way the system will start working completely automatically to reach the comfort temperatures as quickly as possible. The system will set air temperature, quantity and distribution and it will control the air recirculation function and the activation of conditioner compressor.

During fully automatic operation, the only manual settings required are the following:

☐ MONO, to align the air temperature and distribution set on the passenger's side (front or rear) with that on the driver's side;
☐ ✉ , air recirculation, to keep it always on or off;
☐ ⚪, to speed up demisting/defrosting of windscreen, front side windows, rear window and door mirrors;
☐ 444, to demist/defrost heated rear window and door mirrors.

During full automatic system operation, you can change at any time set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change its settings to adjust to the new requirements. During FULL AUTO operation, changing air distribution and/or flow and/or compressor activation and/or air recirculation will make the FULL wording disappear. In this way functions will pass from automatic control to manual control until pressing again the AUTO button. Fan speed is the same for every area of the passenger compartment.

With one or more functions engaged manually, the adjustment of the temperature of the air admitted to the passenger compartment continues to be controlled automatically by the system, except with the climate control compressor off: under this condition in fact, the temperature of the air admitted to the passenger compartment cannot be lower than outside air temperature.

CONTROLS

Air temperature adjusting knobs P-G

Turning the knobs clockwise or counterclockwise, respectively highers or lowers the temperature of the air required respectively in the front left zone (knob P) or in the right zone (knob G) of the passenger compartment.

Since the system controls two zones of the passenger compartment, it is possible to personalise required temperatures (driver and passenger).

The temperatures set are shown on the displays near the relevant knobs.

Pressing button I (MONO) automatically aligns the temperature on the passenger's side with that on the driver's side; you can therefore set the same temperature for both zones by turning knob P on driver side.

Separate operation of air temperatures and distribution is restored by turning knobs or pressing again button I (MONO) when the button led is on.

Turning the knobs fully clockwise or counter-clockwise until they reach the extreme selections HI or LO, the maximum heating or cooling functions are respectively engaged:

☐ HI function (highest heating power): this is turned on by rotating the temperature knob clockwise and passing the max. temperature value (32°C). It can be activated independently from driver or front passenger side or both (also when the MONO function is selected).

When this function is on, the display shows HI.

This function can be engaged when requiring to heat the passenger compartment as quickly as possible, exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This function uses the maximum temperature of the coolant fluid, while air distribution and fan speed are controlled according to the system settings.

More particularly, max. fan speed will not be immediately engaged if coolant is not hot enough; this to prevent admitting air that is not warm enough to the passenger compartment.

All manual settings are possible with this function on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the knob counter-clockwise and set the required temperature.

☐ LO function (highest cooling power): this is turned on by rotating the temperature knob counter-clockwise and passing the min. temperature value (16°C). It can be activated independently from driver or front passenger side or both (also when the MONO function is selected).

When this function is on, the display shows LO.

This function can be engaged when requiring to cool the passenger compartment as quickly as possible, exploiting the maximum potential of the system. This function activates automatically:

□ MONO function;

☐ air distribution at central / side vents (shown by the relevant symbol on the display);

☐ fan at max. speed;

□ climate control compressor.

All manual settings are possible with this function on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the knob clockwise and set the required temperature.

Front air distribution buttons B-F

Pressing these buttons it is possible to choose manually one of the seven possible air distributions to the passenger compartment (right or left side):

▲ Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to demist or defrost them.
Air flow at central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.
Air flow towards the front and rear lower parts of the passenger compartment. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution allows heating of the passenger compartment in the shortest time, also giving a prompt feeling of warmth.
Splitting of the air flow between the vents to the lower part of the passenger compartment (warmest air) and the dashboard centre and side outlets (coolest air). This air flow distribution is particularly useful in spring and autumn when the sun is shining.

Splitting of the air flow between the windscreen and side window demisting/defrosting vents and the lower part of the passenger compartment. This type of air distribution allows satisfactory heating of the passenger compartment while preventing possible misting of the windows.

Combined splitting of the air flow between the windscreen vents, central/side outlets and vents at the lower part of the passenger compartment (feet area). This air flow distribution enables to keep good overall comfort conditions in summer.

Splitting of the air flow between the windscreen vents, central/side outlets on the dashboard. This air flow distribution enables to obtain satisfactory cooling of the passenger's compartment and to keep the required coolig condition in summer.

Air distribution is selected through buttons B and F in "rolling" mode, according to the sequence shown in the following diagram fig. 52.

The type of air distribution selected is shown by lighting up of the relevant symbols on the display.

To restore automatic air distribution control after a manual selection, press button AUTO.

In FULL AUTO mode, pressing the distribution buttons B or F for the first time, will display the current status selected by the system. It is then possible to select in "rolling" mode the type of distribution required by pressing buttons B or F again.

When the driver selects air distribution to the windscreen, also the air distribution on passenger side will be distributed to the windscreen. The passenger can however select the required air distribution by pressing the relevant buttons.

Fan speed adjusting buttons M/N

Press buttons ✝+ or ✝- to increase or to decrease the fan speed and therefore the amount of air admitted into the passenger compartment.

The fan speed is shown by the lit bars on the display

The fan can be cut off only if the climate control compressor has been switched off pressing button B.

IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan speed control after a manual adjustment, press button AUTO.

AUTO buttons (automatic operation) C-E

Pressing the AUTO button (on driver and/or front passenger side) the system automatically adjusts the amount and distribution of the air admitted to the passenger compartment, cancelling all the previous manual adjustments.

This condition is indicated by the message FULL AUTO on the front system display.

Manual operation of at least one automatic function (air recirculation, air distribution, fan speed or climate control compressor off) will cause FULL message going off the display. This means that automatic control is not complete (except temperature control which is always automatic).

IMPORTANT Should the system (after manual settings) be no longer able to guarantee the required temperature set in the passenger compartment, the set temperature value will start flashing to indicate this condition, after one minute the AUTO message will turn off.

To restore system automatic control at any time, after one or more manual adjustments, press button AUTO.

MONO button (to align set temperatures and air distribution) I

Pressing button MONO automatically aligns the temperature on the passenger side with that on the driver side, it is therefore possible to set the same temperature and air distribution between the two zones by turning the knob on driver side. This function is provided to simplify temperature adjustment of the whole passenger compartment when only the driver is onboard. Separate operation of set temperature and air distribution is restored by turning knob P or G (to set temperature on front passenger side) or by pressing again button MONO, when the wording is shown on the display.

Air recirculation and AQS function on/off button A

If the AQS sensor is not fitted, air recirculation works according to the following operating logics:

☐ forced switching on (inside air recirculation always on), indicated by symbol ≈ on the display;
☐ forced switching off (air recirculation always off with air inlet from the outside), indicated by symbol ✉ on the display.

The above operating conditions are obtained by pressing in sequence the air recirculation button A.

Due to safety reasons, after long recirculation activation (over 25 minutes), the system will deactivate automatically air recirculation for 60 seconds to enable outside air inlet.

IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation system makes it possible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions faster.

WARNING

It is inadvisable to use the inside air recirculation func- h low outside temperature as s may mist over quickly.

It is however inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility of the windows misting inside, especially if the climate control system is off.

When outside temperature is below 3^ C, recirculation is forced to off (outside air inlet) to prevent window misting up.

It will be reactivated automatically if outside temperature becomes higher than 5°C.

The AQS sensor (Air Quality System) in addition to the above operating logics, enables to control recirculation automatically according to the quality of outside air:

□ automatic control indicated by symbol ◀ on the display.

In this event the display will show symbol ✗ or ⏻ according to actual recirculation operating conditions (on or off).

In automatic operation with AQS, inside air recirculation is turned on automatically when the antipollution sensor detects

the presence of polluted air, for example when driving in the city, queues and tunnels.

With compressor on, in order to prevent polluted air (exhaust gas) inlet at stops, the system will stop air recirculation when the car speed falls below 6 km/h. As the car speed increases (over 25 km/h), the system will restore the previous automatic operating conditions.

In automatic operation, AQS is deactivated when outside temperature is below 3^ C, the system will activate air recirculation (indicated by symbol on the display). The user can however set it manually by operating in rolling mode the recirculation button: pressing the button for the first time will display the current recirculation condition, indicated by symbol .

It will be reactivated automatically if outside temperature becomes higher than 5 °C.

Press the button again to select the required recirculation condition, indicated by the corresponding symbol on the display. Under these conditions manual activation of the AQS function could cause window misting up.

When air recirculation is set manually, wording FULL will turn off and A will disappear from the recirculation symbol on the display.

Climate control compressor on/off button L

Pressing button ⚙ when the symbol is displayed will deactivate the climate control system compressor. Pressing the button when the symbol is not displayed will resume automatic control of compressor activation; this condition is indicated by the relevant symbol on the display.

When turning the compressor off, the system will deactivate air recirculation to prevent window misting up. Although the system is able to keep the required temperature, the wording FULL will disappear from the display. If the system is no longer able to keep the required temperature, temperature value will flash and the wording AUTO will disappear from the display.

IMPORTANT With the climate control compressor off, it is not possible to admit air to the passenger compartment with a temperature below the outside temperature; moreover, under certain environmental conditions, windows could mist up fastly since air is not dehumidified.

The switching off of the climate control compressor remains in storage even when the engine has been stopped.

To restore automatic control for switching on the climate control compressor, press again button ⚙ or press button AU-TO.

With climate control compressor off if outside temperature is higher than the set one the system will not be able to keep the required condition, the temperature value will then start to flash on the display for a few seconds and wording AUTO will then go off.

With climate control compressor off, the fan speed can be set to zero manually. With compressor on and engine running, the fan speed cannot be lower than one bar on the display.

Compressor will be disabled automatically with outside temperature below - 1 °C. Under this condition symbol ⚙ on the display will flash for 10 seconds and then go off.

It will be re-enabled automatically with outside temperature higher than +1°C.

Fast window demisting/defrosting button O

Press this button: the climate control system will automatically switch on all the functions required for fast windscreen and front side window demisting/defrosting, that is:

☐ switches on climate control compressor when climatic conditions are suitable;
□ air recirculation off;
☐ maximum air temperature (HI) on both areas;
☐ activates proper fan speed according to engine coolant temperature to limit the flow into the passenger compartment of air not warm enough to demist the windows;
☐ directs air flow to windscreen and front side windows vents;
☐ turns heated rear window on.

IMPORTANT Fast demisting/defrosting function stays on for about 3 minutes, since engine coolant temperature exceeds 50°C.

When the max. demisting/defrosting function is on, the button led and the heated rear window button led are on. FULL AUTO wording on the display is off.

When the max. demisting/defrosting function is on, the only manual operations possible are manual adjustment of the fan speed and switching heated rear window off.

With max. demisting/defrosting function on, the fan works according to the previously set air distribution in order to guarantee top climatic comfort under whatever condition.

Pressing the max. demisting/defrosting button or the air distribution buttons or operating the temperature knobs, the system switches off the max. demisting/defrosting function and restores the operating conditions of the system prior to function activation.

Heated rear window and door mirror demisting/defrosting button H

Press this button to activate heated rear window demisting/defrosting. When this function is on, the button led is on.

This function is timed and switches off automatically after about 20 minutes or by pressing again the button or by turning the engine off. It will not be switched on automatically when restarting the engine.

IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of the rear window over the heating filaments to avoid damage that might cause it to stop working properly.

— = slow intermittent
— = intermittent medium
—— = fast intermittent

C: continuous slow;
D: continuous fast;
E: fast temporary (unstable position).

E A B C D F fig. 62 F0L0030m

Operation in position E is limited to the time the stalk is held in this position. When the lever is released, it returns to position A automatically stopping the wiper.

IMPORTANT Replace wiper blades as specified in section "Car maintenance".

fig. 63 F0L0031m

Never use the window wiper to remove ice or snow from the windscreen. In these conditions, the wiper is submitted

to excessive effort that results in motor protection cutting in and wiper operation inhibition for few seconds as a consequence. If operation is not restored contact Fiat Dealership.

"Smart washing" function

Pulling the stalk towards the steering wheel (unstable position) operates the windscreen washer fig. 63.

Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a second, with just one movement it is possible to operate the washer jet and the wiper at the same time.

The wiper stops working four strokes after releasing the stalk.

A further stroke after five seconds completes the wiping operation.

RAIN SENSOR (where provided)

The rain sensor is located behind the driving mirror in contact with the windscreen and has the purpose of automatically adjust, during the intermittent operation, the frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.

IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the sensor area.

Activation fig. 64

Move the right-hand stalk downwards by one position (B).

The activation of the rain sensor is signalled by a control acquisition "stroke".

Turning the knurled ring F it is possible to increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor.

E A B F C D fig. 64 F0L0030m

The increase of the sensitivity of the rain sensor is signalled by a control and acquisition "cycle".

Operating the windscreen washer with the rain sensor activated the normal washing cycle is performed at the end of which the rain sensor resumes its normal automatic function.

Deactivation fig. 64

Move the stalk off B or turn the ignition key to OFF.

At next engine starting (key at ON), the sensor will not be reactivated even if the stalk is at B. In this event, to activate the rain sensor you have to move the stalk to A or C and then again to B or turn the knurled ring.

Rain sensor activation will be indicated by at least one wiper "stroke" even if the windscreen is dry.

The rain sensor is able to recognize and automatically adjust itself in the presence of the following particular conditions:

☐ impurities on the controlled surface (salt, dirt, etc.);
□ difference between day and night.

WARNING

Streaks of water may cause unrequired blade moving.

REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER

Operation is only obtained with ignition key at ON.

Turning the knurled ring A from ○ to will operate the rear window wiper as follows:

☐ intermittent operation if the wind-screen wiper is off;
☐ synchronised with the windscreen wiper (but with half stroke frequency).

With windscreen wiper on and reverse gear engaged, rear window wiping will be continuous.

Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (unstable position) will activate the rear window washer.

Keeping the stalk pushed for over half a second will activate also the rear window wiper.

Releasing the stalk will activate the smart washing function as described for the windscreen wiper.

HEADLIGHT WASHER (where provided)

Headlight washers are "retractable", i.e.: they are located inside the front bumpers and they are activated when (with dipped beams on) the windscreen washer is operated.

IMPORTANT Check at regular intervals correct operation and cleanness of nozzles.

Never use the rear window wiper to remove ice or snow from the rear window. In these conditions, the wiper is submitted to excessive effort that results in motor protection cutting in and wiper operation inhibition for few seconds as a consequence. If operation is not restored contact Fiat Dealership.

CRUISE CONTROL (where provided)

It is a device able to support the driver, with electronic control, which allows driving at speed over 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a desired speed, without pressing the accelerator pedal. Therefore it is not suggested to use this device on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.

DEVICE ENGAGEMENT fig. 65

Turn knurled ring A to ON.

The Cruise Control cannot be engaged in first or reverse gear. It is advisable to engage it in 4^th or higher gears.

Travelling downhill with the device engaged, the car speed may increase more than the memorised one.

When the device is activated the warning light (69) turns on together with the relevant message on the instrument panel.

TO MEMORISE SPEED

Proceed as follows:

☐ turn the knurled ring A to ON and press the accelerator pedal to the required speed;
☐ move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second, then release it. The car speed is memorised and it is therefore possible to release the accelerator pedal.

In the case of need (when overtaking for instance) acceleration is possible simply pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing the accelerator pedal, the car will return to the speed memorised previously.

TO RESET THE MEMORISED SPEED

If the device has been disengaged for example pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed can be reset as follows:

□ accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching the one memorised;
☐ engage the gear selected at the time of speed memorising;
☐ press the RES B button.

TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED SPEED

The speed memorised can be increased in two ways:

☐ pressing the accelerator and then memorising the new speed reached;

or

□ moving the stalk upwards (+).

Each operation of the stalk will correspond to a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping the stalk upwards will correspond to a continuous speed increase.

TO REDUCE MEMORISED SPEED

The speed memorised can be increased in two ways:

☐ disengaging the device and then memorising the new speed;

or

□ moving the stalk downwards (−) until reaching the new speed which will be memorised automatically.

Each operation of the stalk will correspond to a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping the stalk downwards will correspond to a continuous speed reduction.

DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT

The device can be disengaged in the following ways:

□ turning the knurled ring A to OFF;

□ turning the engine off;

☐ pressing the brake pedal or engaging the hand brake;

□ pressing the clutch pedal;

□ shifting gear with automatic transmission in sequential mode;

☐ with car speed below the preset limit;

pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case the system is not really disengaged but the request for acceleration takes priority over the system. The cruise control is however active and it will not be necessary to press button RES to resume previous conditions after ending acceleration.

The device is automatically deactivated in one of the following cases:

☐ ABS or ESP system cut-in;

□ system failure.

WARNING

When travelling with the device on, never set the gearshift lever to neutral.

WARNING

In the event of device malfunction or failure, turn the knurled ring A to OFF and contact a Fiat Dealership after checking the protection fuse integrity.

HEADLIGHTS

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM

Proper adjustment of the headlight beams is of vital importance for your safety and comfort and also for the other road users. To ensure you and other drivers have the best visibility conditions when travelling with the headlights on, the headlights must be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.

IMPORTANT When turning on (Xenon) gas discharge headlight lamps (where provided), it is normal that there should be a vertical movement of reflectors, and consequently the same will also happen to the light beam, for the time required to achieve the correct headlight trim stabilisation, equal to approx. 2 seconds.

Headlight aiming device

It works with ignition key at ON and dipped beams on. When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means that the headlight beam rises. In this case, it is necessary to return it to the correct position.

FRONT FOG LIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Contact Fiat Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.

HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT ABROAD

The dipped beam headlights are adjusted for circulation in the country in which the car is marketed. In countries with opposite circulation, to avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is necessary to cover the areas of the headlight using a special sticker tape provided for the purpose and available at Lineaccessori Fiat. Contact Fiat Dealership.

ABS SYSTEM

The car is fitted with an ABS braking system, which prevents the wheels from locking when braking, makes the most of road grip and gives the best control when emergency braking under difficulty road conditions.

System is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action between front and rear wheels.

IMPORTANT To have the maximum efficiency of the braking system, it is necessary a setting period of about 500 km (with new car after replacing brake pads/discs): during this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged brakes.

ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION

When the ABS cuts in, you will feel the brake pedal pulsating slightly and the system get noisier: it means that the speed should be altered to fit the type of road surface.

If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip between tyre and the road surface has reached the limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the road grip available.

FAILURE WARNINGS

ABS failure

ABS failure is indicated by the turning on of warning light (ABS) on the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

In this case the braking system is still efficient, though without the aid of the ABS system. Drive carefully to the closest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

WARNING

If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip be-yre and the road surface has the limit: you must slow match the speed to the road ilable.

WARNING

The ABS exploits the tyre-road grip at the best, but it

cannot improve it; you should therefore take every care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking unnecessary risks.

EBD failure

EBD failure is indicated by the turning on of warning lights (A&E) and (!) on the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").

In this case with sharp braking the rear wheels might lock too early, with the possibility of skidding. Drive extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

BRAKE ASSIST

(emergency braking assistance) (where provided)

The system, which cannot be cut out, recognizes emergency braking (on the ground of the brake pedal operation speed) and considerably increases the pressure in the brake circuit.

During emergency braking, the emergency lights turn on automatically; when accelerating the lights turn off automatically.

Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP system failure (indicated by warning light switching on together with the message on the display).

WARNING

When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in the shortest amount of space possible under the current road conditions.

WARNING

If the brake fluid low warning light (①) comes on (together with the message on the display), stop the car immediately and contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system, in fact, can compromise the braking system, both traditional systems and systems with ABS.

ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability Program) (where provided)

The ESP system is an electronic system controlling the car stability in the event of tyre grip loss.

The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when grip conditions of the road surfaces changes.

ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION

It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light Ⓐ on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in critical stability and grip conditions.

The ESP system is automatically activated when the car is started and cannot be de-activated.

FAILURE WARNINGS

In the event of failure, the ESP system is automatically disconnected and the warning light Ⓐ, comes on with fixed light on the instrument panel, together with the message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages"). In this case contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

WARNING

Performance of the ESP system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road safety is always the driver's responsibility.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM (where provided)

This system is an integral part of the ESP system and it is provided to facilitate starting on slopes.

It will activate automatically with the following conditions:

Uphill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal pressed, gearbox to neutral or engaged gear other than reverse.

Downhill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.

At pickup the ESP system control unit will keep brake force on wheels until reaching the torque suitable for starting, or in any case for max. 1.5 seconds in order to pass easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

After 1,5 seconds without starting, the system will deactivate automatically by releasing gradually the brake force.

At releasing, the typical brake disengagement noise indicating that the car is going to move will be heard.

Failure indications

System failure is indicated by the turning on of warning light Ⓐ on the instrument panel (together with the message on the multifunction display) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking brake. Never get out of the car without engaging the handbrake, switching the engine off and engaging the first gear (position P con with automatic transmission).

WARNING

During the use of the space-saver spare wheel, the ESP

system carries on working. However, you must remind that the space-saver spare wheel has dimensions smaller than the standard tyre and therefore its grip is reduced as to the other car tyres.

WARNING

For correct operation of the ESP system, the tyres must be of the same brand and all wheels, in perfect condition, above all, of type, brand specified.

ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulator) (where provided)

The ASR function controls car drive and cuts in automatically every time one or both driving wheels slip.

According to slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated:

☐ if slipping involves both driving wheels, the ASR function intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the engine;
☐ if slipping involves only one driving wheel, the TC (Traction Control) function cuts in automatically braking the wheel that is slipping.

The action of the ASR is particularly helpful in the following circumstances:

☐ slipping of the inner wheel due to the effect of dynamic load changes or excessive acceleration;
□ too much power transmitted to the wheels also in relation to the conditions of the road surface;
□ acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen surfaces;
☐ in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning).

ASR OFF A

fig. 125
FOL0052m

SWITCHING THE ASR SYSTEM ON/OFF fig. 125

The ASR system switches on automatically each time the engine is started.

When travelling ASR can be switched off and on again pressing switch A set aside the gearshift lever.

When the ASR is switched off this is shown by the lighting up of the led on the switch and by the relevant message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").

If the ASR is switched off when travelling, it will turn on again automatically the next time the engine is started.

When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the driving wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better drive.

WARNING

The performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road safety is always the driver's responsibility.

WARNING

For correct operation of the ASR system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand and size specified.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR system is automatically disconnected and the warning light Ⓐ will come on with fixed light on the instrument together with the message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages"). In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

WARNING

For correct operation of the ASR system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand and size specified.

EOBD SYSTEM

The European On Board Diagnostic system (EOBD), fitted to engine electronic control units, allows monitoring and warning of any malfunction to the electronic systems that could increase exhaust emissions.

The objective is:

☐ To keep system efficiency under control;
☐ Warn when a fault causes emission levels to increase;
☐ Warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.

This diagnostic system indicates the presence of deteriorated components or system malfunctioning (see section "Warning lights and messages") by the turning on of the instrument panel warning light (together with the message on the display).

NOTE The car is provided with a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the error codes stored in the control units, together with a series of specific parameters for engine operation and diagnosis. This test can also be performed by traffic controller agents.

IMPORTANT: After a servicing operation at Fiat Dealership aimed to eliminate malfunctioning connected to the EOBD system, in order to check the system thoroughly it could be required to run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM - T.P.M.S. (where provided)

The car can be equipped with the T.P.M.S. (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). This system consists of a radio-frequency sensor, installed on each wheel (on the rim inside the tyre) that sends pressure information to the control unit.

IMPORTANT System control unit monitors the pressure of the four car tyres but not the space-saver spare wheel. It is therefore recommended to always check also the space-saver spare wheel pressure.

IMPORTANT Pay the utmost attention when checking or inflating tyres. Excessive pressure impairs road holding, increases suspension and wheel stress and causes abnormal tyre wear.

IMPORTANT Tyre pressure should be checked with tyres rested and cold. Should it become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with hot tyres, do not reduce pressure although it is higher than the prescribed value but repeat the check when tyres are cold.

WARNING

The T.P.M.S. system does not exempt the driver to check tyre and space-saver spare wheel pressure at regular intervals.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE T.P.M.S. SYSTEM

Failure indications will not be stored and therefore will not be displayed when turning the engine off and on again. If failure persists, the control unit will send warning indications to the instrument panel only after a few seconds when the car is moving.

IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.: tyre burst). In this event, brake the car cautiously and avoid sudden steering.

IMPORTANT Replacing standard tyres with winter tyres and vice versa involves T.P.M.S. system set-up that shall be performed at Fiat Dealerships only.

IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system requires special equipment. Consult Fiat Dealership to know what type of accessories are compatible with the system (wheels, wheel caps, etc.). Using other accessories could cause system malfunctioning.

IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change according to outside temperature. For this reason the T.P.M.S. system could temporarily indicate low tyre pressure. In this event check pressure with cold tyres and restore proper inflation values if required.

IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S. system, tyre and/or rim removal and refitting operations involve special precautions; to prevent damages or wrong sensor refitting, contact Fiat Dealership to have tyre and/or rim changed.

IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S. system, when changing a tyre, change also the rubber seal of the valve. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Strong radiofrequency noise may inhibit regular TPMS system operation; in this event, a dedicated message will be displayed to warn the driver. This message will disappear automatically as soon as noise disappears.

SOUND SYSTEM (where provided)

For the operation of the radio with CD/MP3 CD (where provided), read the instructions for use given in the Supplement attached to the Owner Handbook.

SOUND SYSTEM (where provided)

The system includes:

☐ 2 tweeters (power 40W max. each), located on front doors;

ACCESSORIES

PURCHASED BY THE OWNER

If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electric supply (alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electric supply, contact Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides suggesting the most suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the vehicle electric system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.

INSTALLATION OF

ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle and in after-market shall bear the following marking:

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of transceivers, provided that installation is workmanlike performed in compliance with Manufacturer's specifications at a specialised service centre.

IMPORTANT The installation of devices involving modifications of vehicle characteristics may determine the withdrawal of

the driving licence by the appointed public authorities and the forfeiture of the warranty as concerns defects/failures due to said modification or leading directly or indirectly to it.

Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility due to damages connected with the installation of accessories/devices not supplied by or recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed not in compliance with the specified prescriptions.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR TELEPHONES

Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: mobile phones, HAM radio systems and the like) shall not be used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.

IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the passenger compartment (without separated aerial) produces radio-frequency electromagnetic fields which, amplified by the resonance effects inside the passenger compartment, may cause electrical systems equipping the vehicle to malfunction. 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 vehicle body.

As concerns (Approved mobile phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with the instructions for use provided by the mobile phone's manufacturer.

PARKING SENSORS (where provided)

Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 127 and their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of obstacles behind the car.

ACTIVATION

The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is engaged.

As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the acoustic alarm becomes more frequent.

BUZZER WARNINGS

When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is automatically activated.

The acoustic signal:

□ becomes louder as the reduction of distance between the car and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance raises;

Front view of a car with three arrows pointing to the rear side (no text or symbols present)

is constant if the distance is unvaried. If this situation takes place for side sensors, the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds to prevent sound indications when performing manoeuvres near walls.

Direction distances

Central action radius 150 cm

Side action radius 60 cm

If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest one.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of sensor failures, the driver is warned by the turning on of warning light △ on the instrument panel and by the relevant message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").

Parking sensor operation is deactivated automatically when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car tow hook socket.

Sensors are reactivated when removing the trailer cable plug.

In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.

For proper operation, the parking sensors shall always be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if required.

WARNING

Parking manoeuvres however are always under the driver's responsibility that shall always check the absence of people (specially children) or animals in the manoeuvre space. This system is just a help for the driver but she/he shall never reduce attention during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed.

GENERAL WARNINGS

☐ When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles that may be set above or under the sensors.
☐ Objects set close to the car, under certain circumstances are not detected and could therefore cause damages to the car or be damaged.
☐ Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ultrasound systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic hammers) set nearby the car.

AT THE FILLING STATION

PETROL ENGINES

Use only unleaded petrol.

To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump filler. Use petrol with a rated octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small amount or in an emergency, as this would damage the catalyst beyond repair.

DIESEL ENGINES

If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the formation of paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel filter.

In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type arctic type (mountains/cold areas).

If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for the current temperature, mix diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions stated on the can, putting first the antifreeze in the tank and then the diesel fuel.

Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is used/parked in the mountains or in cold areas for a long period. In this event you are recommended to keep an amount of fuel higher than 50% in the tank.

The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European Standard EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with another type of fuel, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has been run even for only a very short time, in addition to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel circuit.

REFUELLING

To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two refuelling operations after the first click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations that could cause damages to the fuel system.

A B fig. 128 F0L0137m

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 128

The fuel filler cap lock is automatically controlled by the central door lock.

In an emergency (e.g.: electric system failure) it is possible to unlock it by pulling string B. To find the string, remove the right-hand side cover A.

To carry out fuelling, open flap C-fig. 129 and unscrew cap D; the cap is fitted with an antiloss device E which fastens it to the flap so it cannot be mislaid.

The sealing of the tank may cause light pressurising in the tank. A little breathing off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely normal.

fig. 129 F0L0526m

When refuelling, position the cap on the device inside the flap as shown in the figure.

If the doors are locked, press the door unlock button ☐ on central panel to refuel.

The fuel filler cap is re-locked when the doors are locked.

WARNING

Do not put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the fuel filler hole as there is a danger of fire. Do not bend too close to the hole either so as not to breathe in harmful vapours.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:

□ three-way catalytic converter;
□ Lambda sensor;
☐ fuel evaporation system.

In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.

The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:

☐ oxidising catalytic converter;
☐ exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
□ diesel particulate filter (DPF).

WARNING

During normal service the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reaches high temperatures. Do not therefore park the car over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.

WARNING

During normal service the catalyst reaches high temperatures. Do not therefore park the car over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)

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 particular filter has been adopted to eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future law regulations.

During normal use of the car, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles.

Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the conditions of use of the car.

During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be considered as faults and they do not affect car performance and environment.

If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to section "Warning lights and messages".

S.B.R. SYSTEM

The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system (Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a buzzer which, together with the turning on of warning light on the instrument panel, warns the driver to fasten the seat belt.

For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat Dealership. With multifunction display, the S.B.R. system can only be reset at Fiat Dealership.

With reconfigurable multifunction display, the S.B.R. system can also be reset through the set-up menu.

PRETENSIONERS

To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the car is fitted with front and rear pretensioners (where provided). These devices, in the event of a violent crash, rewind the seat belts a few centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining action begins.

Front pretensioners activation is indicated by buckle withdrawal downwards.

Rear pretensioners (where provided) activation is indicated by seat belt retractor locking; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up when guiding it manually.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioning device, wear the seat belt keeping it firmly close to the chest and pelvis.

Pretensioner activation may produce a small amount of smoke. This smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire hazard.

The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or greasing.

Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates its efficiency.

If due to unusual natural events (floods, seas storm, etc.) the device has been affected by water and mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase passenger's safety, the front and rear (where provided) seat belt reels contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt restraining action in case of front crash.

WARNING

The pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it, have it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the label set on the door contour sheet metal. Pretensioners should be replaced at Fiat Dealership as this date approaches.

Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6 hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.

WARNING

For maximum safety, keep the back of your seat upright, lean back into it and make sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest and hips. Make sure that the seat belts of the front and rear passengers are fastened at all times! You increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision if you travel with the belts unfastened.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should the components of the seat belts and pretensioners be tampered with or removed. Any operation should be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel. Always contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

If the belt has been subjected to heavy stress, for example after and accident, it should be changed completely together with the anchors, anchor fastening screws and the pretensioners. In fact, even if the belt has no visible defects, it could have lost its resilience.

WARNING

Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger's lap with a single belt to protect them both. Do not fasten other objects to the body.

HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS

□ Always use the belt with the tape taut and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments.
☐ After a serious accident, replace the belt being worn at that time, even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the seat belts if pretensioners have been activated.
☐ To clean the belts, wash by hand with neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach or dyes or other chemical substance that might weaken the fibres.
☐ Prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside.
☐ Replace the seat belt when showing significant wear or cut signs.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY

For optimal protection in the event of a crash, all passengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.

Compared with adults, their head is proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while the muscles and bone structure are not completely developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary, other than adult seat belts. The results of research on the best child restraint systems are contained in the European Standard EEC-R44. This Standard enforces the use of restraint systems classified in five groups:

Group 0 - 0-10 kg in weight

Group 0+ - 0-13 kg in weight

Group I 9-18 kg in weight

Group 2 15-25 kg in weight

Group 3 22-36 kg in weight

As it may be noted, the groups overlap partly and in fact, in commerce it is possible to find devices that cover more than one weight group.

All restraint devices must bear the certification data, together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed label which must absolutely never be removed.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems, children are considered as adults and wear the seat belts normally.

Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each weight group, which are the recommended choice, as they have been designed and experimented specifically for Fiat cars.

WARNING

Children may be placed on the front seat of cars fitted with passenger's air bag deactivation. In this case it is absolutely necessary to check the amber warning light on the cluster to make sure that deactivation has actually taken place (see paragraph front and side air bags at point front passenger's air bag). The front passenger's seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between child's seat and dashboard.

WARNING

SERIOUS DANGER: Never place cradle child's seats facing backwards on the front passenger seat of cars fitted with passenger's air bag since the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal. You are advised to carry children always on the rear seat, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash. In any case, children's seats must absolutely not be fitted on the front seat of cars with passenger's air bag, which during inflation could cause serious injury, even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it.

0-13 kg fig. 7 F0L0063m

GROUP 0 and 0+ fig. 7

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp deceleration.

The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts and in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.

GROUP I

Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing forwards, with seat fitted with front cushion, through which the car seat belt restrains both child and seat fig. 8.

15-25 kg fig. 9 F0L0065m

GROUP 2

Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, children may be restrained directly by the car belts. The only function of the seat is to position the child correctly in relation to the belts, so that the diagonal part adheres to the chest and not to the neck and that the horizontal part clings to the child's pelvis and not the abdomen fig. 9.

WARNING

The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to the instructions for fastening which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining system you are using.

WARNING

Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with a rear connection to the car belts and their own belts to restrain the child. Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the car belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided with the seat.

WARNING

The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to

the instructions for fastening which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining system you are using.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON CHILD'S SEAT USE

Your car complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC regulating child's seat assembling on the different car seats according to the following table:

Group weight passenger side passenger	SEAT
	Range of Front passenger	Rear passenger	Central passenger
Group 0, 0+ up to 13 kg U (	▼)	U	*
Group 1 9-18 kg U (	▼)	U	*
Group 2 15-25 kg U (	▼)	U	*
Group 3 22-36 kg U (	▼)	U	*

Group 3

For children from 22 kg to 36 kg the size of the child's chest no longer requires a support to space the child's back from the seat back.

Fig. 10 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear seat.

Children taller than 1.50 m can wear seat belts like adults.

WARNING

The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to

the instructions for fastening which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining system you are using.

Key:

U = suitable for child restraint systems of the "Universal" category, according to European Standard EEC-R44 for the specified "Groups".

(▼) on cars not fitted with passenger's seat adjustable in height, the seat back shall be positioned perfectly upright.
(*) Never mount child restraint systems on the rear central seat.

Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be followed for carrying children:

I) The recommended position for installing child's seat is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected in the case of a crash.
2) If the passenger airbag is deactivated, always check that it is properly deactivated by ensuring the warning light is on with a fixed light on the instrument panel.
3) Attain to the instructions for fastening the specific child restraint system which you are using. These instructions must be provided by the manufacturer. Keep the child restraint system installation instructions with the car documents and this Handbook. Never use a child restraint system without installation instructions.

4) Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling the webbing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining system.
6) Always check the seat belts do not fit around the child's throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or release the belts.
8) Passengers should never carry children on their laps. No-one, however strong they are, can hold a child in the event of a crash.
9) In case of an accident, replace the child's seat with a new one.

WARNING

With passenger's air bag active, never place child's seats

with the cradle facing backwards since the air bag activation could cause to the child serious injuries, even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it. You are advised to carry children always with proper restraint systems on the rear seats, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.

PRESETTING FOR MOUNTING THE "UNIVERSAL ISOFIX" CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

This car is preset for mounting the Universal Isofix child restraint system, a new European standardised system for carrying children safely.

Fig. 11 shows a child restraint system by way of example.

The Universal Isofix child's seat covers weight group: 1.

Due to its different anchoring system, the Universal Isofix child's seat shall be anchored to the proper lower metal rings A-fig. 12, set between rear seat back and cushion. The upper belt (provided with the child's seat) shall be then secured to ring B-fig. 13 set on rear seat backrest.

It is possible to mount at the same time both the traditional restraint system and the "Universal Isofix" one.

Remember that in case of Universal Isofix child's seat, you can only use all those seats approved with the marking ECE R44/03 "Universal Isofix".

At Lineaccessori Fiat is available the "Universal Isofix" "Duo Plus" child's seat.

WARNING

Mount the child restraint system only with the car stationary. The Isofix child restraint system is properly anchored to the mounting brackets when clicks are heard. In any case, keep to the installation instructions that must be provided by the child restraint system Manufacturer.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON UNIVERSAL ISOFIX CHILD'S SEAT USE

The table below, according to ECE 16 European Directive, shows the different installation possibilities of Universal Isofix restraint systems on seats fitted with Isofix fasteners.

IUF: suitable for Isofix child restraint systems to be set facing forwards, universal class (fitted with third upper fastener), approved for the weight group.

IL: suitable for Isofix TYPE child restraint systems, specific and approved for this type of car. The child's seat can be installed by moving forward the front seat.

FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS

The car is fitted with front air bags for the driver, for the passenger and with driver's knees air bag (where provided).

The front driver / passenger air bags and the driver's knees air bag (where provided) have been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.

Front air bags are designed to protect car's occupants in front crashes and therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, rollovers, etc.) is not a system malfunction.

In case of crash, an electronic control unit, when required, triggers the inflation of the cushion. The cushion immediately inflates, placing itself as a protection between the body of the front occupants and the structure that could cause injuries. Immediately after, the cushion deflates.

The front driver / passenger air bags and the driver's knees air bag (where provided) are not a replacement of but complementary to the use of belts, which should always be worn, as specified by law in Europe and most non European countries.

At their maximum inflation, their volume fills most of the space between the dashboard and the passenger.

In case of crash, a person not wearing the seat belt moves forward and may come into contact with the cushion while it is still inflating. Under this circumstance the protection offered by the air bag is reduced.

Front air bag may not be activated in the following situations:

☐ in collisions against highly deformable objects not affecting the car front surface (e.g. bumper collision against guard rail, etc.);

WARNING

Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering wheel or to the air bag cover on the passenger's side or on the side roof lining. Never put objects on the dashboard on passenger side since they could interfere with proper air bag inflation.

☐ in case of wedging under other vehicles or protective barriers (for example under a truck or guard rail), the air bag is not triggered as it offers no additional protection compared with the seat belts, consequently it would be pointless. Therefore, failure to come into action in the above circumstance does not mean that the system is not working properly.

In minor crashes (for which the restraining action of the seat belts is sufficient), the air bags are not deployed. Also in this case it is of vital importance to wear the seat belts since in case of side crash they guarantee proper positioning of the occupant and prevent the occupants to be pitched out of the car in case of violent crashes.

AIRBAG fig. 15 F0L0068m

PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 15

It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained into a special recess in the dashboard, this cushion has a volume bigger than that of the driver.

WARNING

SERIOUS DANGER: With passenger's air bag active, never place child's seats with the cradle facing backwards since the air bag activation could cause to the child serious injuries, even mortal. In the case of need, always deactivate the passenger's air bag when a child's seat is placed on the front seat.

The front passenger's seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between child's seat and dashboard. Even if not compulsory by law, you are recommended to reactivate the air bag immediately as soon as child transport is no longer necessary.

AIRBAG fig. 16 F0L0383m

DRIVER'S KNEES AIR BAG (where provided) fig. 16

Knees air bag consists of an instant-inflating cushion housed into a special compartment provided for the purpose under the steering wheel at driver's knees level, designed to give further protection in the event of frontal crash.

TURNING OFF THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND SIDE CHEST PROTECTION AIR BAGS (Side bags) (where provided)

If it is absolutely necessary to transport a child on the front seat, the passenger side front and side chest protection air bags can be turned off (Side Bag).

WARNING

To turn off the passenger side front and side chest protection air bags (if foreseen), please refer to the paragraphs "Multifunctional display" and "Reconfigurable multifunctional display" in the "Dashboard and controls" chapter.

Two conditions may occur:

☐ passenger side front and side chest protection air bags (Side Bags) on: warning light 📋 on the instrument panel off; it is absolutely prohibited to transport children on the front seat.
☐ passenger side front and side chest protection air bags (Side Bags) off: warning light 📁 on the instrument panel on; it is possible to transport children on the front seat using proper restraining systems.

The warning light 📋 on the instrument panel will remain on with a stationary light until the passenger side front and side chest protection air bags are turned on again (Side Bags).

SIDE AIR BAGS

The car is fitted with front side bags for driver and passenger (where provided), front and rear window bags (where provided) for protecting front and rear occupant's head, rear side bags for driver and passenger (where provided).

Side bags (where provided) protect car occupants from side crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the internal parts of the side structure of the car.

Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions (front collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not a system malfunction.

In case of side crash, an electronic control unit, when required triggers the inflation of the cushion. The cushion immediately inflates, placing itself as a protection, between the occupant's body and the structure that could cause injuries. Immediately after, the cushion deflates.

Side bags (where provided) are not a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which you are recommended to always wear, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.

AIRBAG fig. 17 F0L0125m

FRONT AND REAR SIDE BAGS - CHEST PROTECTION (where provided) fig. 17

These side bags consist of two types of instant inflation cushions housed in the seat back rests and designed to increase protection of the occupants' chest in the event of a side crash of medium-high severity.

AIRBAG fig. 18 F0L0069m

SIDE WINDOW BAGS - HEAD PROTECTION (where provided) fig. 18

They are "curtain" cushions located behind the side coverings of the roof and covered by proper finishings, studied for the head protection to offer the best protection to the front and rear occupants in the event of side crash, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.

IMPORTANT In the event of side crash, you can obtain the best protection by the system keeping a correct position on the seat, allowing thus correct side bag unfolding.

WARNING

Do not hook rigid objects to the coat hooks and to the support handles.

WARNING

Do not cover the backrest of front seats with trims or covers that are not suitable to be used with side bags.

WARNING

Never rest head, arms and elbows on the door, on the windows and in the window bag area to prevent possible injuries during inflation phase.

WARNING

Never lean head, arms and elbows out of the window.

TURNING OFF THE REAR SIDE CHEST PROTECTION AIR BAGS (Rear Side Bags) (where provided)

If it is absolutely necessary to transport a child on the rear seats, the rear side chest protection air bags can be turned off (Rear Side Bags) (where provided).

Two conditions may occur:

□ rear side chest protection air bags on: warning light 🎨 on the instrument panel off; it is absolutely prohibited to transport children on the rear seats.
□ rear side chest protection air bags off: warning light 🎨 on the instrument panel on; it is possible to transport children on the rear seats using proper restraining systems.

The warning light 🎨 on the instrument panel will remain on with a stationary light until the rear side air bags are turned on again (Rear Side Bags).

WARNING

To turn off the rear side chest protection air bags (Rear Side Bags) (if foreseen), please refer to the paragraphs "Multifunctional display" and "Reconfigurable multifunctional display" in the "Dashboard and controls" chapter.

GENERAL WARNINGS

1) The front air bags and/or front and front side bags (where provided) may be deployed if the car is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the underbody area, such as for example violent shocks, against steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the car in big holes or sags in the road.
2) When the airbag inflates it emits a small amount of dusts. These dusts are harmless and is not the beginning of a fire; then the unfold cushion surface and the car interiors can be covered by a dusty remains: this dust can irritate skin and eyes. In case of contact, wash yourself using neutral soap and water.

3) Should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat Dealership to have the devices activated replaced and to have the system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement operations concerning the air bags must only be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped, have the air bag system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the car changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of the method of use of air bags and the above warnings and also be given this "Owner Handbook".

4) The triggering of pretensioners, front air bags and front side bags is decided in a differentiated manner, depending on the type of crash. The failure to deploy one or more of them does not mean that the system is not working properly.

WARNING

If when turning the ignition key to ON, the warning light

does not turn on or if it stays on when travelling (together with the message on the display) there could be a failure in safety systems; in this event air bags or pretensioners could not trigger in case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they could trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

WARNING

Life and validity of pyrotechnic charge and coil contact are indicated on the label located inside the lower oddment compartment. As this date approaches, contact Fiat Dealership to have them replaced.

WARNING

Never travel with objects on your lap, in front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. between your lips; injury may result in the event of the air bag being triggered.

WARNING

If the car has been stolen or an attempt to steal it has been made, if it has been subjected to vandals or floods, have the air bag system checked by Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

Remember that with the key engaged and at ON, even with the engine not running, the air bags may be triggered on a stationary car if it is bumped by another moving car. Therefore, never seat children on the front seat even when the car is stationary. On the other hand, please remember that when the key is not inserted in the ignition or is in the OFF position, safety devices (air bag or pretensioner) will not activate as a result of a collision; the failed activation of these devices in these cases cannot therefore be considered as an index of system malfunctioning.

WARNING

By turning the ignition key to the ON position, warning light ☑ (with front and side passenger side air bags on) will turn on and flash for a few seconds to remind you that the passenger air bags will be activated in the case of a collision, afterwards it will turn off.

WARNING

The front air bag is triggered for shocks greater in magnitude than the pretensioners. For impacts between these two thresholds, it is therefore normal that only the pretensioners are triggered.

WARNING

By turning the ignition key to the ON position, the warning light ⚙ (with rear side chest protection air bags on) will turn on and flash for a few seconds to remind you that the rear air bags will be activated in the case of a collision, afterwards it will turn off.

WARNING

The air bag does not substitute the seat belts, but only increases their effectiveness. Moreover, since the front air bags do not come into operation in the event of front impact at low speed, side collisions, bumps from behind or overturning, in these circumstances the occupants would only be protected by the seat belts which must therefore always be fastened.

ENGINE STARTING

The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph "The Fiat CODE system" in section "Dashboard and controls".

The engine may be noisier than usual during the first seconds of operation, especially after it has not been used for a while. This characteristic feature of the hydraulic tappet system does not compromise functionality or reliability. This timing system for petrol engines was adopted to limit servicing.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

☐ Ensure that the handbrake is up;
☐ put the gear lever into neutral (positions P or N for automatic transmission);
☐ press the clutch pedal (or brake pedal with automatic transmission) down to the floor without pressing the accelerator;
□ turn the ignition key to START and let it go the moment the engine starts.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to OFF before repeating starting.

IMPORTANT In the event of fast engine start-up (i.e.: fitting the ignition key and turning it to ON), any slight jamming is to be attributed to correct recognition of the electronic key by the ignition switch.

We recommend that during the initial period you do not drive to full car performance (e.g.: excessive acceleration,

long journeys at top speed, sharp braking, etc.).

When the engine is switched off never leave the key into the ignition switch to prevent pointless current absorption

from draining the battery.

WARNING

Running the engine in confined areas is extremely dan-

gerous. The engine consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.

START A

fig. 1
F:0L0206m

IMPORTANT If when fitting the key into the ignition switch, the multifunction display shows the message stating that the electronic key has not been recognised, remove and refit the key; if the problem persists try with the other keys provided with the car. If you still cannot start the engine, contact Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT If it is not possible to turn the ignition key to ON, remove the emergency key, fit it into slot A-fig. I to unlock the ignition switch; then, turn the key to ON and follow the starting procedure. Contact Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key into the ignition switch when the engine is off. In this event, when opening the driver's door, a buzzer will sound for about 1 second.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR MULTIJET VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

☐ Ensure that the handbrake is up;
☐ Put the gear lever into neutral (positions P or N for automatic transmission);
Turn the ignition key to ON: the warning lights 00 and 📋 on the instrument panel will turn on;
☐ Wait for the warning lights 00 and 18 to turn off. The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
☐ Press the clutch pedal (or brake pedal with automatic transmission) down to the floor without pressing the accelerator;
Turn the ignition key to START as soon as warning light goes out. If you wait too long you will lose the benefit of the work done by the glow plugs. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator pedal shall be completely released while turning the ignition key to START. If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to OFF before repeating starting.

IMPORTANT In the event of fast engine start-up (i.e.: fitting the ignition key and turning it to ON), any slight jamming is to be attributed to correct recognition of the electronic key by the ignition switch.

IMPORTANT If when fitting the key into the ignition switch, the multifunction display shows the message stating that the electronic key has not been recognised, remove and refit the key; if the problem persists try with the other keys provided with the car. If you still cannot start the engine, contact Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT If it is not possible to turn the ignition key to ON, remove the emergency key, fit it into slot A-fig. I to unlock the ignition switch; then, turn the key to ON and follow the starting procedure. Contact Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key into the ignition switch when the engine is off. In this event, when opening the driver's door, a buzzer will sound for about 1 second.

HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED (petrol and diesel engines)

Proceed as follows:

☐ Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
☐ Do not drive at full performance for the initial kilometres. Wait until the coolant temperature gauge starts moving.

Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill as this could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic

exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.

A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical purpose, it wastes fuel

and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines.

WARNING

Remember that the servo-brake and power steering are not operational until the engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake pedal and steering wheel.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Turn the ignition key to OFF while the engine is idling.

IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the engine to "catch its breath" before turning it off by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment to fall.

IMPORTANT If the engine is turned off while the car is still moving, for safety reasons it will be impossible to remove the key from the ignition switch. To remove the key, turn it to ON and then to OFF with the car stopped without forcing at removal.

Fig. 2 A F:0L0207m

IMPORTANT If after turning the engine off with the car stopped, it is not possible to remove the key from the ignition switch, try to turn it to ON and then to OFF. If the problem persists, remove the emergency key without forcing and fit it into the proper slot A-fig. 2 in the ignition switch; now it will be possible to turn the key to OFF and remove it. Contact Fiat Dealership.

WARNING If you turn the electronic key to OFF position, external lights and electronic safety systems are turned off.

PARKING THE CAR

Proceed as follows:

☐ Stop the engine and engage the hand-brake;
☐ Engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill; position P with automatic transmission) and leave the wheels steered.

Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope. Do not leave the key in the ignition switch to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the car.

Never leave children unattended in the car. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the car and take it out with you.

A fig. 3 F0L0373m

HANDBRAKE fig. 3

The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.

Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the car cannot be moved. Four or five clicks are generally enough when the car is on level ground while nine or ten may be required if the car is on a steep slope or laden.

IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.

When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is at ON the instrument panel warning light Ⓔ will come on.

To release the handbrake:

□ slightly lift the handbrake and press release button A;
☐ keep button A pressed and lower the lever. Warning light Ⓑ will turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation to prevent the car from moving accidentally.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION

To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift the gear lever into one of the required positions (the diagram is shown on the knob).

IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear when it has stopped moving completely. With the engine running, before engaging the reverse, wait at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully down to prevent damage and grating of the gears.

To engage reverse (R) from neutral proceed as follows:

□ shift the lever to the right and then back;

Multijet versions fig. 5

☐ lift the sliding ring A under the knob and shift the lever straight to the left and then forward.

WARNING

To change gears properly you must push the clutch pedal fully down. It is therefore essential that there is nothing under the pedals: make sure mats are lying flat and do not get in the way of the pedals.

Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as the force exerted, even if slight, could lead over time to premature wear on the gearbox internal components.

IMPORTANT The clutch pedal must be used for gear shift only. Never drive with the foot resting, even if slightly, on the clutch pedal. For versions / markets where applicable, the clutch pedal control electronics can intervene interpreting the wrong drive style as a fault

ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

The car may be fitted with 5-speed (petrol versions) or 6-speed (Multijet versions) automatic transmission with electronic control. Gears are shifted automatically according to instant car parameters of use (speed and accelerator pedal position).

Gears can however be shifted manually using transmission in sequential mode.

IMPORTANT Read carefully the following points to learn how to use the electronic automatic transmission right from the start.

☐ With lever at P press the brake pedal and turn the ignition key to START without pressing the accelerator pedal.
☐ With lever at N press the brake pedal and turn the ignition key to START without pressing the accelerator pedal.

If the engine fails to start at first attempt, turn the key to OFF before trying to restart.

IMPORTANT With engine off, never leave the ignition key at ON to prevent draining the battery.

IMPORTANT: if when travelling with gear lever at D or in sequential mode you turn inadvertently the key to OFF the engine will turn off and transmission will fail.

Proceed as follows:

☐ Set gear lever to N and press the brake pedal
☐ Restart the engine by turning the key to START and set the gear lever to D.

WARNING

Running the engine in confined areas is extremely dan-

gerous. The engine consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.

MOVING OFF

Proceed as follows:

☐ at P position, press the brake pedal;
☐ press the gear lever button and move the gear lever to the required position (D or R);
□ accelerate gradually; the car moves off and gearshifting will be automatic.

IMPORTANT: Take the utmost care in the following conditions: handbrake and brake pedal released with engine idling and gear lever at D, R or sequential since the car can move also without pressing the accelerator pedal.

The above condition can be used for parking in narrow spaces, taking care to operate the brake pedal only.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended in the car.

Shifting from P, with ignition key at ON, is only possible with brake pedal pressed.

SEQUENTIAL MODE

In sequential mode, the electronic automatic transmission works like a fixed gear sequential gearbox.

From position D move the gear lever leftwards:

☐ move gear lever to +: to upshift;
☐ move gear lever to -: to downshift.

Gears are displayed by digits on the instrument panel. Non-stop monitoring carried out by transmission control unit excludes whatever possibility of error.

Downshifting (or upshifting) is only possible if engine rpm enables it.

In sequential mode, electronic transmission control can however intervene in self-adapting mode by shifting gears automatically when engine rpm exceeds or falls below the admitted rpm limit.

When stopping the car with a gear higher than 1st gear, transmission will set automatically at 1st gear.

When stopping the car under poor grip conditions (snow, ice), at next starting the transmission control unit could engage a gear higher than 1st gear to prevent wheel slipping. This shall not be considered as a fault

IMPORTANT: in the event of excessive oil temperatures (see section "Warning lights and messages"), the electronic control intervenes excluding sequential mode and activating automatic mode in order to safeguard transmission life. Sequential mode will be resumed as soon as regular operating temperatures are restored.

AUTOMATIC MODE

D can be selected from sequential mode under whatever driving condition.

When passing from sequential mode to D, the gear to engage is selected by transmission control unit according to engine rpm and speed (accelerator pedal position).

Low engine power demand will result in long gears engagement and reduced fuel consumption. Increasing speed by pressing the accelerator will automatically engage short gears that will result in improved performance as to pickup and acceleration: in this case fuel consumption will increase.

For speedy pickup:

☐ press the accelerator pedal flat-out, the kick-down device will cut in to obtain max. performance in terms of pickup and acceleration. In this case fuel consumption will obviously increase.

IMPORTANT When driving under poor grip conditions (snow, ice, etc.) avoid to engage the kick-down device.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

Failures to the electronic automatic transmission is indicated by the turning of warning light ☐ on the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on the multifunction display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

Contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the fault removed.

STOPPING THE CAR

To stop the car:

☐ release the accelerator pedal;

☐ press the brake pedal.

IMPORTANT With the car on a sloping road and engine running, keep the car stopped just using the brake pedal, do not press the accelerator pedal.

With the car parked with engine running and gear lever at D, R or in sequential mode, keep the brake pedal pressed to prevent car moving off by engine idling.

For long stops set gear lever to P.

PARKING THE CAR

Engage the handbrake and set gear lever to P. Leave the wheels steered. Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope.

Do not leave the ignition key at ON to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the car.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended in the car.

BUZZER WARNINGS

The warning buzzer will sound and P position will flash for a few seconds when the ignition key is at OFF and the gear lever is not set at P.

Ignition key can only be removed with gear lever at P.

TOWING THE CAR

IMPORTANT Comply with current local regulations to tow the car.

If the car is to be towed, observe the following recommendations:

□ transport the car, if possible, on the flatbed of a wrecker or maintenance vehicle;

☐ should this not be possible, tow the car with the front driving wheels raised from ground.

For towing the car, the gear lever shall be set to N.

Do not start the engine when towing the car.

Failure to observe the above instructions could seriously damage the automatic transmission.

WARNING

Never leave children unattended in the car.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS

Here are some suggestions which may help you to keep the running costs of your car down and lower the amount of toxic emissions released into the atmosphere.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Car maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the "Service schedule".

Tyres

Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with too much luggage stowed in the boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving in town) and its trim greatly affects consumption and stability.

Roof rack/ski rack

Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof as soon as they are no longer used. These accessories lower air penetration and adversely affect consumption levels. When needing to carry particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a trailer.

Electric devices

Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing the requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).

Climate control

The air conditioner is an additional load which greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption (on average up to +20%). When the temperature outside the car permits it, use the air vents where possible.

Spoilers

The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill or at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing electrical consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic lights or before switching off the engine. This and also double declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and also increase consumption and pollution.

Gear selection

As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low gear to obtain brilliant performance increases consumption.

In the same way improper use of a high gear increases consumption, emissions an engine wear.

Top speed

Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed. Avoid superfluous braking and accelerating, which cost in terms of both fuel and emissions.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently increasing the revs will greatly affect consumption and emissions: acceleration should be gradual and should not exceed the maximum torque.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow the engine to reach optimum operating temperature. This results in a significant increase in consumption levels (from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emission of harmful substances.

Traffic situations and road conditions

Rather high consumption levels are tied to situations with heavy traffic, for example in queues with frequent use of the lower gears or in cities with many traffic lights. Also winding mountain roads and rough road surfaces adversely affect consumption.

Traffic hold-ups

During prolonged hold-ups (e.g.: level crossings) the engine should be switched off.

TOWING TRAILERS

IMPORTANT NOTES

For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted with a certified tow hook and an adequate electric system. Installation should be carried out by specialised personnel who release a special document for circulation on the road.

Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors as specified by law.

Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and overtaking takes longer depending on the overall weight.

Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than constantly using the brake.

The weight the trailer exerts on the car tow hook reduces by the same amount the actual car loading capacity. To make sure the maximum towable weight is not exceeded (given in the log book) account should be taken of the fully laden trailer, including accessories and personal belongings.

Do not exceed the speed limits of the country you are driving in. In any case do not exceed 100 km/h.

It is recommended to use a proper towing stabiliser on the trailer drawbar.

WARNING

The ABS system with which the car may be fitted does not control the trailer braking system. Drive with extreme care on slippery roadbeds.

WARNING

Under no circumstances should the car brake system be altered to control the trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be fully independent of the car hydraulic system.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK

The towing device should be fastened to the body by specialised personnel according to any additional and/or integrative information supplied by the Manufacturer of the device.

The towing device must meet current regulations with reference to 94/20/EC Directive and subsequent amendments.

For any version the towing device used must match the towable weight of the car on which it is to be installed.

For the electric connection a unified connector should be used which is generally placed on a special bracket normally fastened to the towing device, and a special ECU for external trailer light control shall be installed on the car.

For the electrical connection, 7 or 13 pin 12VDC connection is to be used (CU-NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow the instructions provided by the car manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.

An electric brake should be supplied directly by the battery through a cable with a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm ^4 .

IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be used with running engine.

In addition to the electrical branches, the car's electric system can only be connected to the supply cable for an electric brake and to the cable for an internal light, though not above 15W.

For connections use the preset control unit with battery cable no less than 2.5 mm ^4 .

ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM fig. 7

The tow hook structure must be fastened using a total of 4 M10 screws (A).

Thickness of upper plates, left B and right C, shall be 6 mm min.

Thickness of lower plates, left E and right F, shall be 8 mm min.

The hook should be fastened to the body avoiding any type of drilling and trimming of the rear bumpers that remains visible when the hook is removed.

IMPORTANT It is compulsory to fasten a label (plainly visible) of suitable size and material with the following wording:

MAX LOAD ON BALL 70 kg

After fitting, screw holes shall be sealed to prevent exhaust gas inlet.

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres provided with the car.

Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the customer's requirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given in paragraph “Wheels” in section “Technical specifications”.

The winter features of these tyres are reduced considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. In this case, they should be replaced.

Due to the snow tyre features, under normal conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of these tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It is therefore necessary to limit their use to the purposes for which they are certified.

IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max speed index below the one that can be reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger's compartment, plainly in the driver's view which states the max permissible speed of the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking and better driveability.

Remember that it is inappropriate to change the direction of rotation of tyres.

WARNING

The max speed for snow tyres with "Q" marking is

160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with "T" marking and 210 km/h for tyres with H marking. The Road Traffic Code speed limits must however be always strictly observed.

SNOW CHAINS

Use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations.

Snow chains should only be applied to the driving wheels (front wheels). We recommend using Lineaccessori Fiat snow chains.

Check the tension of the chains after the first few metres have been driven.

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.

IMPORTANT Snow chains shall only be a temporary solution. Use snow tyres if you have to travel for long on roadbeds covered with snow or ice.

IMPORTANT With snow chains fitted, use the accelerator with extreme care to prevent or to reduce to a minimum driving wheel skidding in order to avoid snow chain breaking that could cause damages to the body or the mechanical parts of the car.

Versions Tyres on which chains Type of snow chains can be fitted to be used
1.8 - 2.2 205/55	R16 9IV	Snow chains with reduced size with max protrusion beyond the tyre profile of 9 mm
1.9 Multijet	215/55 R16 93W
2.4 Multijet	215/50 R17 9IW

Refer to the above mentioned table for information on the wheels where snow chains can be fitted. Follow the prescriptions.

Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 40 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered with snow to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.

CAR INACTIVITY

If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the following precautions should be noted:

☐ park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ventilated premises;
☐ engage a gear (position P with automatic transmission);
☐ check that the handbrake is not engaged;
☐ disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the negative terminal);
☐ if the vehicle is equipped with a battery with an optical indicator, control its charge status. This check is to be repeated every three months when the car is left inactive. Recharge if the optical indicator shows a dark colour without the central green area;

☐ clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax;
□ clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special compounds readily available;
□ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
□ slightly open the windows;
cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
☐ inflate tyres to +0,5 bar above the normal specified pressure and check it at intervals;

☐ when the battery is not disconnected from the electric system, if the vehicle is equipped with a battery with an optical indicator, control its charge status every 30 days and if the optical indicator shows a dark colour without the central green zone, recharge it;

☐ do not drain the engine cooling system.

IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off the car alarm with the remote control.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, it is possible to start the engine using an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher than the flat one.

Proceed as follows fig. 1:

☐ Connect positive terminals (+ near the terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
☐ With a second lead, connect the negative terminal (−) of the auxiliary battery and to an earthing point ↓ on the engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
□ Start the engine;
☐ When the engine has been started, remove the leads reversing the order above.

Diagram showing electrical connections with battery, switch, and grounding symbols

fig. 1

If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not insist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite the flammable gas from the battery. If the other battery is fitted in another car, prevent accidental contacts between the metal parts of the two cars.

Under no circumstances should a battery charger be used to start the engine: it could damage the electronic

systems and in particular the ignition and injection control units.

WARNING

Do not carry out this procedure if you lack experience; if

it is not done correctly it can cause very intense electrical discharges. In addition, the fluid contained in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. You are also advised not to put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the battery and not to cause sparks.

BUMP STARTING

Never bump start the engine (by pushing, towing, or coasting downhill) as this could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.

Remember that the brake booster and the power steering system are not operating until the engine is started, a greater effort will therefore be required to press the brake pedal or to turn the steering wheel.

IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-saver spare wheel call for some precautions as listed below.

WARNING

Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations: hazard warning lights, warning triangle etc. Any passengers on board should leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is being changed on. If the wheel is being changed on a steep or badly surfaced road, place the wedges or other suitable material under the wheel to stop the car.

WARNING

The space-saver spare wheel is specific to your car, do not use it on other models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your car. The space-saver spare wheel shall only be used in an emergency. It shall only be used for the distance necessary to reach a service point and the car speed shall not exceed 80 Km/h. The spare wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the main cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be removed or covered.

Never fit a wheel cap on a space-saver spare wheel. The sticker gives the following information in four languages: caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace by normal wheel as soon as possible. Do not cover this label.

WARNING

When driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of the car changes. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns or fast cornerings. The life of the spare wheel is approx. 3000 Km, after this distance it should be replaced with another of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver spare wheel. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver spare wheels should never be used together. Do not grease the threads of bolts before installing them: they might slip out.

WARNING

The jack shall only be used for changing wheels on the car with which it is provided or on cars of the same model.

It must not be used for other purposes such as for instance raising cars of other models. In no case should it be used for repairs under the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack for higher capacities than stated on its label. Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.

WARNING

Fasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion. Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never place tools between the rim and tyre. Check and restore, if required, the pressure of tyres and spare wheel to the values given in section "Technical Specifications".

WHEN NEEDING TO CHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

☐ When a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph "If a fuse blows" in this section;
☐ Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
☐ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same type and power;
□ Always check the height of the head-light beam after changing a bulb.

Halogen bulbs must be handled touching only the metallic part. If the transparent bulb is touched with the fingers, its lighting intensity is reduced and life of the bulb may be compromised. If touched accidentally, rub the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and allow to dry.

WARNING

Modifications or repairs to the electrical system (electronic control units) carried out incorrectly and without bearing the features of the system in mind can cause malfunctions with the risk of fire.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which, if broken, may cause small fragments of glass to be projected outwards.

WARNING

Due to high voltage, the bulb of (Xenon) gas-discharge headlights must only be replaced by experts: danger of death! Contact Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface may be lightly misted over: this is not a fault but a natural fact due to low temperature and the level of air humidity. It will disappear as soon the headlights are turned on. The presence of drops inside the headlights means water infiltration, therefore contact Fiat Dealership.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life under the best conditions.

This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks and maintenance operations every 35.000 km.

It is however important to remember that scheduled servicing does not completely cover all the car's requirements: also in the initial period before 35.000 km service coupon and later, between one coupon and another, ordinary care is still required such as for example routine check and topping up the level of fluids, tyre pressure check, etc...

IMPORTANT The Programmed Maintenance coupons are specified by the Manufacturer- The failure to have them carried out may invalidate the warranty.

Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat Dealership, at pre-established times.

If during each operation, in addition to the ones programmed, the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.

IMPORTANT You are advised to contact Fiat Dealership in the event of any minor operating faults, without waiting for the next service coupon.

If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service coupon and the other must be reduced.

ENGINE OIL

Checking engine oil

Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the engine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.

Remove the dipstick A and clean it, put it back in completely, remove it and check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. The gap between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds to about one litre of oil.

Topping up engine oil

If the oil level is near or even below the MIN mark, add oil through the filler neck B, until reaching the MAX mark.

Oil level shall never exceed the MA mark.

fig. 10 - 2.4 Multijet 20v versions

IMPORTANT If a routine check reveals that the oil level is above the MAX mark, contact Fiat Dealership to have the correct level restored.

IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after turning it off before you check the level.

WARNING

When the engine is hot, take care when working inside the engine compartment to avoid burns. Remember that when the engine is hot, fan may cut in: danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts.

Used engine oil and filter contain harmful substances for the environment. Contact Fiat Dealership to have the oil and filter changed.

Engine oil consumption

Max engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

When the car is new, the engine needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.

IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving style and the conditions under which the car is used.

IMPORTANT Do not add oil with specifications other than that already in the engine.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID fig. 11

The coolant level shall be checked with cold engine and shall not be lower than the MIN on the reservoir.

If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% PARAFLU UP by FL Selenia through the filler neck A.

A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and distilled water gives freeze protection to -35^ .

For particularly hard climate conditions, we recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU UP and 40% demineralized water mixture.

The cooling system uses PARAFLU UP antifreeze. Do not add fluid having different specifications from that already existing. PARAFLÜ UP cannot be mixed with other types of fluids. Should other fluids be added, do not start the engine and contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

WARNING

Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot:

you risk scalding yourself.

WARNING

The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, replace

the cap only with another genuine one, otherwise system efficiency could be compromised.

BRAKE FLUID fig. 15

Unscrew cap A: check that the fluid level in the reservoir is at maximum.

Fluid level in the reservoir shall not exceed the MAX mark.

If fluid has to be added, it is suggested to use the brake fluid in table "Fluids and lubricants" (see chapter "Technical characteristics").

NOTE Clean accurately the tank cap A and the surrounding surface.

At plug opening, pay maximum attention in order to prevent any impurities from entering the tank.

For topping up, always use a funnel with integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture, for this reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the "Service schedule".

Make sure that the highly corrosive brake fluid does not drip onto the paintwork; if it does, wash it off immediately with

water.

WARNING

Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event

of accidental contact, wash the parts involved immediately with neutral soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Call the doctor immediately if the fluid is swallowed.

WARNING

Symbol Ⓐ on the container indicates synthetic brake flu-

id, distinguishing it from the mineral kind. Using mineral fluids irreversibly damages the special braking system rubber seals.

AIR FILTER/POLLEN FILTER

Air cleaner or pollen filter replacement shall be carried out at a Fiat Dealership.

DIESEL FUEL FILTER

DRAINING THE CONDENSE (Multijet versions)

The presence of water in the fuel circuit can severely damage the injection system and make the engine misfire. If the warning light ☐ turns on, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the bleeding operation carried out. Should the warning light turn on after refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: turn the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

BATTERY

The battery is of the "Limited maintenance" type: under normal conditions of use the electrolyte does not need topping up with distilled water.

CHECKING THE CHARGE fig. 16

The battery charge may be checked satisfactorily through the inspection slot using the indicator A (where provided) and acting according to the colour the indicator shows.

If the battery does not fit a charge and electrolyte level gauge, the corresponding operations must be performed by specialised personnel only.

Refer to the table below or to the label B on the battery.

WARNING

The liquid in the battery is poisonous and corrosive.

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not bring naked flames or possible sources of sparks near to the battery: risk of fire and explosion.

WARNING

Running the battery with low fluid level can damage the battery beyond repair and could also cause its explosion.

Fiat Dealership)

IMPORTANT Check the battery charge once a year, preferably before the beginning to winter, to prevent freezing of the electrolyte. Perform this inspection more frequently if the car is mainly used for short distances or if electrical devices running with the key off are installed, particularly after-market.

CHANGING THE BATTERY

If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part having the same specifications.

If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the service intervals given in the "Service schedule" in this section will no longer be valid.

Refer to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

Incorrect fitting of electrical and electronic accessories can seriously damage the car. If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, free-hand phone kit, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more powerful battery.

Batteries contain substances that are very harmful for the environment. You are advised to have the battery changed at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly equipped for disposing of used batteries respecting nature and the law.

WARNING

If the car is left inactive for long periods at cold, remove

the battery and store it in a warm place to prevent freezing.

WARNING

When working on the battery or near it, always wear per goggles.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY

To avoid draining your battery and lengthen its life, observe the following indications:

☐ when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed properly;
☐ the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however provided with an automatic system for switching off internal lights;
☐ do not keep accessories (e.g.: sound system, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is not running;
☐ before performing any operation on the electrical system, disconnect the battery negative cable;
☐ battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened.

IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at a charge of less than 50% (optical indicator with dark colour without green area in the middle) for any length of time will be damaged by sulphation leading to a reduction in cranking power.

Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk of the battery electrolyte freezing (this may even occur at -10^ ). If the car is inactive for a long period of time, refer to “Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use of the car”.

If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car's electric system is capable of with-standing the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more powerful battery.

In fact, since these devices continue absorbing energy even when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery.

The total intake of these systems (factory and after-market) must be less than 0,6 mA x Ah (of the battery) as shown in the following table:

Battery Maximum
	admitted stand-by intake
70 Ah 42 mA
90 Ah (*) 54 mA

(*) Versions fitted with alarm.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold.

For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see "Wheels" in "Technical specifications" section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear:

A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.

B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.

C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.

Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, comply with the laws in the country where the car is being driven.

A B C fig. 17 F0L0159m

IMPORTANT NOTES

As far as possible, avoid sharp braking and screech starts, etc. Be careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres;
☐ Periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of these occur, have the car seen to at a Fiat Dealership;
☐ Avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;

☐ If a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering system;
☐ Tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks in the tread rubber are a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres have been on the car for over 6 years, they should be checked by specialised personnel, to see if they can still be used. Also remember to check the space-saver spare wheel;
☐ In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those of dubious origin;
☐ If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
☐ To allow even wear between the front and rear tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the car so as to not reverse the direction of rotation.

WARNING

Remember that road holding depends also on the correct

tyre inflating pressure.

WARNING

If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can

cause it serious damage.

WARNING

Do not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the

right of the car to the left and vice versa.

WARNING

Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments re-

quiring to use temperatures exceeding 150^ C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.

RUBBER HOSES

As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned, carefully follow the "Service schedule" in this section.

Indeed ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.

WINDSCREEN/ REAR WINDOW WIPERS

BLADES

Periodically clean the rubber part using special products; TUTELA PROFES- SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.

If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be replaced. In any case they should be changed once a year.

A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades:

☐ if the temperature fall below zero, make sure that ice has not frozen the rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product;
☐ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor and overheating;
☐ do not operate the windscreen and rear window wipers on dry glass.

WARNING

Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad weather.

SPRAY NOZZLES

Windscreen wiper fig. 20

If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is fluid in the reservoir: see "Checking fluid levels" in this section).

Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if necessary use a needle.

Fluid jets shall be directed at about 1/3 height from the window upper edge.

HEADLIGHT WASHERS

Regularly check that the spray jets are intact and clean.

The headlight washers are automatically switched on when the windscreen washer is operated and the headlights are on.

BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

The main causes of corrosion are the following:

□ atmospheric pollution;
☐ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates);
□ seasonal environment conditions.

Not to be underestimated is also the abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand and mud and gravel raised by other cars.

On your Fiat Croma, Fiat implemented the best manufacturing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.

These include:

□ Painting products and systems which give the car particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
☐ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to corrosion;

Spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheelhouse internal parts and other parts with highly protective wax products;
Spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function, in the more exposed points: underdoor, inner fender parts, edges, etc.;
☐ Use of "open" boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside.

BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY

Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due to rust of any original element of the structure or body. For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the Fiat Warranty booklet.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK

Paint

Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet metal.

In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you are advised to have the necessary touching up carried out immediately to avoid the formation of rust. Use only original paint products for touching up (see "Bodywork paint identification plate" in section "Technical specification"). Normal paint maintenance consists in washing at intervals depending on the conditions and environment of use. For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the car more frequently.

For a correct wash of the vehicle proceed as follows:

☐ soak the body with a low pressure water jet;
☐ pass on the body a sponge with a light cleansing solution, frequently rinsing the sponge;
☐ rinse accurately with water and dry with air jet or suede.

If the vehicle is washed in an automatic car wash, follow these recommendations:

• remove the antenna from the roof to avoid damages;
  – water with a cleansing solution must be used for washing;
• rinse accurately to avoid cleansing solution residues which may remain on the body or hidden parts.

Some automatic systems provided with old generation and/or not correctly maintained brushes may damage the

varnish, easing the creation of micro-scratches, especially on dark colours. To remove those scratches, slightly polish with a specific product.

When drying, take particular care with the less visible parts like door surrounds, bonnet and around the headlights where water may stagnate. The car should not be taken to a closed area immediately, but left in the open so that residual water can evaporate. Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car.

Where possible, do not park under trees; the resinous substance many species release give the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust processes.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.

Detergents cause water pollution. Therefore the car should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the used in the washing process.

Windows

Use specific window cleaner products. Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the transparency.

IMPORTANT The inside of the rearscreen should be wiped gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.

Engine compartment

At the end of the winter the engine compartment should be carefully washed, without directing the jet against electronic control units. Contact a specialised workshop to have this done.

IMPORTANT The car should be washed with the engine cold and the ignition key at OFF. After washing make sure that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and various covers) have not been damaged or removed.

INTERIORS

Periodically check that water is not trapped under the mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.

CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND VELVET PARTS

Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened.

Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of water and neutral detergent.

CLEANING LEATHER SEATS

Remove dried on dirt with lightly moistened chamois leather or cloth without pressing too hard.

Remove liquid or grease stains with a dry absorbent cloth without rubbing. Then wipe with a soft cloth or chamois leather with water and neutral soap.

If the stain persists, use specific products, carefully following the instructions for use.

IMPORTANT Never use spirit or alcohol-based products.

WARNING

Never use flammable products like oil ether or rectified petrol for cleaning car interiors. Electrostatic discharges generated by rubbing during cleaning operations could cause fire.

STEERING WHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB WITH GENUINE LEATHER COVERING

These components shall only be cleaned with water and neutral soap. Never use spirit or alcohol-based products.

Before using special products for cleaning interiors, read carefully label instructions and indications to make sure they are free from spirit and/or alcohol-based substances.

If when cleaning the windscreen with special glass products, some drops fall on the leather covering of the steering wheel/gear lever knob remove them immediately and then clean with water and neutral soap.

IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when engaging the steering lock to prevent scratching the leather covering.

INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS

Use appropriate products designed to preserve the appearance of components.

IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean the instrument panel.

WARNING

Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode.

Aerosol cans must never be exposed to a temperature above 50^ C. The temperature inside the car exposed to the sun may go well beyond that figure.

Contractual Technical Reference N° F510.D07	As per Service Schedule

For diesel versions, in the case of emergency when original products are not available, lubricants with a minimum performance of ACEA B4 are acceptable; in this case, optimal engine performance is not guaranteed and it is recommended to have them replaced with a recommended lubricant as soon as possible at the Fiat Service Network.

The use of products with inferior characteristics compared to ACEA C3 and ACEA B4 could cause damage, not covered by the guarantee, to the engine.

For particularly rigid climatic conditions ask the Fiat Dealership for the appropriate product from the Selenia range.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down by specific European Directives.

The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:

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; the speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
combined consumption: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extraurban consumption.

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.

Fuel consumption according to Directive 2004/3/EC (litres x 100 km)

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE

For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life span without additional costs.

The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.

Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to our customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of your nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web site or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.

* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
