SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near or on some of the components of your vehicle. These labels bear symbols that draw your attention to the precautions required when handling the component in question.

The inner surface of the engine bonnet includes a label with the different symbols used.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine locking system which increases protection against attempted theft of the vehicle. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is extracted.

Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.

If, during ignition, the code is not correctly recognized, a warning light 📄 is lit on the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR. Try with the other keys provided if the problem persists. If the engine will not start up after this operation, run the emergency start procedure (see chapter "In an emergency") and then contact the Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system ECU. Contact the Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored with the code.

THE WARNING LIGHT (or symbol on the display) GOES ON DURING TRAVEL

☐ If the warning light 📄 (or symbol on the display) turns on, the system is running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop). The first time you stop the vehicle, turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR. If no failure is detected, the warning light 📄 does not light up.
☐ If the warning light 🔒 (or symbol on the display) remains steadily lit, repeat the procedure above leaving the key in the STOP position for over 30 seconds. If the problem persists, contact the Fiat Dealership.
☐ If the warning light 📁 (or symbol on the display) stays on, the code is not acknowledged. In this case, return the key to STOP and then to MAR; try with the other keys provided if the problem persists. If the engine will not start up after this operation, run the emergency start procedure (see chapter “In an emergency”) and then contact the Fiat Dealership.

The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is subjected to violent shocks.

Exhausted batteries are harmful to the environment. They should be disposed of as specified by law in the special containers provided, or take them to the Fiat Dealership, which will deal with their disposal.

REQUEST OF ADDITIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS

The system can recognise up to 8 remote controls. Should a new remote control be necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership, taking a personal identity document and the vehicle ownership documents with you.

DEAD LOCK SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The dead lock system is a safety device which prevents door opening from inside the passenger compartment in case of an attempted break-in (e.g.: window breaking).

It is the best protection possible against attempted break-ins. We recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unattended.

WARNING

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

WARNING

If the battery of the key with remote control is down, the dead lock device can be activated only by fitting the metal insert of the key in both front door revolving plugs as described previously: in this case the dead lock device will stay engaged only on the rear doors.

Engaging the system

The system is automatically enabled on all the doors by double-pressing the button 🔒 positioned on the key with the remote control.

The system has been successfully enabled when the direction indicators flash twice.

The system is not enabled if one or more than one door is not correctly locked. This prevents any person from getting into the vehicle from an open door, and locks him/her inside the passenger compartment when the door is closed.

Disengaging the system

The system is disabled automatically on every door in the following cases:

☐ when unlocking the doors;
☐ when turning the ignition key to MAR.

ALARM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

In addition to all the remote control functions described above, an alarm has been installed, which is controlled by a receiver unit located under the dashboard near the fuse box.

ALARM TRIPPING

The alarm trips in the following cases:

☐ when one of the doors or bonnet is opened illegitimately (perimeter protection);
☐ when the ignition system is started up (ignition key rotated to MAR);
☐ when the battery cables are cut;
□ when someone is moving inside the passenger compartment (volumetric protection);
□ when the vehicle is unusually lifted/tilted.

Depending on the markets where the vehicle is sold, alarm tripping causes either a siren or direction indicators to go on (for approx. 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the number of cycles depend on the sales market.

Provision has been made for a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles, after which the system resumes its standard control function.

Volumetric and anti-lift protections are disabled by pressing the control button installed on the front dashboard (see paragraph "Anti-lift protections).

IMPORTANT The engine stop function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which is automatically activated when the ignition key is extracted from the starter device.

ENABLING THE ALARM

Keep the doors and bonnets closed and either turn the ignition key to STOP or remove it. Direct the key with the remote control towards the vehicle and press button 🔒, then release it.

Excluding some versions for specific markets, the system produces a sound warning (beep) and enables door locking.

Before the alarm is enabled, a self-test is run. If a failure is detected, the system produces a new acoustic signal and shows a message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").

If this is the case, disable the alarm by pressing button ⏻, check correct locking of the doors, bonnet and boot, and enable the alarm again by pressing button ⏻.

If a door or the bonnet is not correctly closed, it will be excluded from the testing by the alarm system.

If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the doors, bonnet and boot are correctly closed, a failure has occurred in system operation. Go to a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is engaged using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not enabled.

IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is configured in compliance with the regulations existing in the different countries.

DISABLING THE ALARM

Press button 🔊 on the key with the remote control.

The following operations are performed (excluding some versions):

☐ the direction indicators turn on shortly twice;
□ two short beeps are produced by the warning buzzer;
□ the doors are unlocked.

IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is engaged using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not disabled.

VOLUME-SENSING/ ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION

To ensure correct operation of the protection, it is advisable to fully close the side windows.

If necessary, the function may be turned off (e.g. if animals are left in the car) by pressing key A-fig. 8, located on the front courtesy light before activating the alarm.

Function deactivation is indicated by the led located on the key flashing for a few seconds. If the volume-sensing/anti-lift protection is turned off, this must be repeated whenever the instrument panel is turned off.

SIGNALS IN THE EVENT OF ATTEMPTED BREAK-INS

Whenever a break-in is attempted, a warning light 📄 (or symbol on the display) starts blinking on the instrument panel (in some versions a message also appears on the display - see section "Warning lights and messages").

DISABLING THE ALARM

To permanently disable the alarm (e.g. during prolonged vehicle shutdown), lock the vehicle by turning the metal insert of the key in the door lock. In this case, the car will not be protected by the alarm system, while the engine immobiliser function is ensured by the Fiat CODE system which is automatically activated when the key is removed from the ignition switch.

IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote control goes down or the system fails, the alarm is disabled by placing the key in the ignition system and rotating it to MAR.

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 9:

☐ STOP: the engine is off, the key can be extracted, the steering is locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central door locking system, alarm, etc.) are enabled.
☐ MAR: driving position. All electrical devices work regularly.
□ AVV: engine start.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety system that forces the driver to return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the starting operation, if the engine does not start up.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engagement

When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering wheel until it locks.

Disengagement

Rock the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition key to MAR.

WARNING

Never extract the key while the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel would be locked as soon as the steering wheel is turned. This also applies to cases in which the vehicle is towed. Under no circumstances should after-market operations be carried out involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that could negatively affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-compliance with type-approval requirements.

REV. COUNTER fig. II

The rev counter shows the engine rpm.

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.

When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the speed. This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be caused, for example, by the operation of the climate control system or fan. In this case, a slow change in engine speed is used to protect the battery charge.

FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR

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

The warning light A-fig. 12 turns on to indicate that approximately 6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.

E - tank empty.

F - tank full (see the instructions provided in paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this section).

Do not travel when the fuel tank is almost empty, because this may jeopardize the catalyst.

IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning light A will blink to indicate a fault in the system. Go to a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

Under normal conditions, the needle should hover around the middle of the scale according to the working conditions of the vehicle.

C - Low engine coolant temperature.

H - High engine coolant temperature.

Turning on of the warning light B-fig. 12 (along with a message on the display) indicates that the coolant fluid temperature is too high. In this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the needle indicating the engine coolant temperature reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and con-

tact a Fiat Dealership.

TRIP COMPUTER

General features

The “Trip computer” is used to display information on vehicle operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function allows to define two separate trips called “Trip A” and “Trip B” for monitoring the “complete mission” of the vehicle (trip) in a reciprocally independent manner. Both functions are resettable (reset - start of new mission).

"Trip A" is used to display data relating to:

• Range
• Trip distance
  – Average consumption
• Instant consumption
• Average speed
  – Travel time (driving time).

"Trip B" is supplied on versions having a multifunctional display and is used to display data relating to:

• Trip distance B
  – Average consumption B
  – Average speed B
• Travel time B (driving time).

Note "Trip B" functions may be disabled (see paragraph "Trip B on"). "Range" and "Instant consumption" cannot be reset.

Values displayed

Range

Indicates the travel distance left before the vehicle runs out of the fuel in the tank. The message “----” will appear on the display in the following cases:

– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)

- vehicle left parked with engine running for long.

IMPORTANT Changes of the range value can be affected by many factors: driving style (see paragraph "Driving style" in section "Starting and driving"), type of route (motorway, urban cycle, mountain roads, etc...), conditions of use of the vehicle (load, tyre pressure, etc...). Trip planning must take into account the above notes.

Trip distance

Indicates the distance covered from the start of a new mission.

Average consumption

Represents the approximate average consumption from the start of a new mission.

Instant consumption

Indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated. The message “----” will appear on the display if the vehicle is parked with the engine running.

Average speed

Represents the vehicle average speed as a function of the overall time elapsed since the start of a new mission.

Trip time

Indicates the time elapsed since the start of a new mission.

IMPORTANT If information is not available, the message “----” will appear instead of the Trip Computer values. Counting of the different values will be resumed regularly when normal operation is restored. This will not cause any resetting of the values displayed before the failure nor starting a new mission.

In countries driving on the left, the beams are aimed by affixing a purposefully studied adhesive film in order not to dazzle the vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. This adhesive film is provided in Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at the Fiat Dealership.

ABS SYSTEM

The vehicle 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 difficult road conditions.

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

IMPORTANT To achieve maximum efficiency of the braking system, a running-in period of about 500 km is required. During this time, avoid sudden, repeated and prolonged braking.

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

Intervention of the ABS is detected by a slight pulsing of the brake pedal accompanied by noise: such an event indicates that you need to adjust your speed to the type of road on which you are travelling.

WARNING

When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal puldo not remove your foot, but pressed; in doing so you will the shortest amount of space depending on the current conditions.

WARNING

When the ABS trips, it means that you are approaching limit between tyres and road: wn to exploit all the available

WARNING

The ABS system exploits the tyre-road grip at best, but it cannot improve it. Therefore, you should take great care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking unnecessary risks.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

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 in some versions) (see section "Warning lights and messages").

In the case, the braking system preserves its efficiency, but cannot rely on the extra potentials offered by the ABS system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

EBD failure

EBD failure is indicated by the turning on of warning lights ( ^① ) and ( ^② ) on the instrument panel (together with the dedicated message on the display in some versions) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

WARNING

If warning light Ⓐ only lights up on the instrument panel

(with a message on the display in some versions), immediately stop the vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the braking system jeopardises the functionality of the braking system, either of the conventional type or with ABS.

BRAKE ASSIST

(emergency braking assistance integral with ESP)

(for versions/markets, 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 thus supporting the driver to obtain prompt and effective braking.

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 multifunction display, for versions/markets, where provided).

WARNING

When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pullo not remove your foot, but pressed; in doing so you will the shortest amount of space under the current road con-

ESP SYSTEM

(Electronic Stability Program)

(for versions/markets, 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.

In addition to the ESP system, ASR system and Hill Holder,(for versions/markets, where provided) also the MSR system (adjusting the engine braking torque) and the HBA system (improving the braking force during emergency braking) are provided.

ABS 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.

ESP SYSTEM ACTIVATION

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

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of failure, the ESP system is automatically disconnected, the warning light (A), comes on with fixed light on the instrument panel, together with the message on the multifunction display (for versions/markets, where provided) (see section "Warning lights and messages") and with the button led ASR OFF. In this case contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

WARNING

Performance of the ESP system, in terms of active safe-

ty 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 and traffic. Road safety is always the driver's responsibility.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM

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: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient of more than 5%, engine running, brake pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear other than reverse engaged;
☐ downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient of more than 5%, engine running, brake 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. 2 seconds in order to pass easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

After two 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 with digital display and warning light Ⓔ on the instrument panel with multifunction display (for versions/markets, where provided) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

IMPORANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking brake therefore, never leave the car without having engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and engaged the first speed.

WARNING

For correct operation of the ESP and ASR systems, 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.

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)

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 the slipping involves only one driving wheel, the ASR system 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).

WARNING

For correct operation of the ESP and ASR systems, 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.

MSR system (engine braking torque control)

It is an integral part of the ASR system that in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in providing torque to the engine thus preventing excessive driving wheel drive that, specially in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of stability.

Switching system on/off

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

When travelling, the ASR can be switched off and on again pressing button A-fig. 101 set on the dashboard.

ASR OFF Fig. 101 F0T0317m

When the ASR is switched off this is shown by the lighting up of the led on the button and by relevant message on the multifunction display, for versions/markets, where provided.

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.

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 with fixed light on the instrument panel together with the message on the multifunction display, for versions/markets, where provided, (see section "Warning lights and messages"). In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Traction Plus is a help with driving and setting off in poor grip conditions (snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the drive force to be evenly distributed over the same axle when both wheels are slipping.

In effect, Traction Plus acts by braking the wheels with poor grip (or those slipping more than the others), thereby transferring the drive force to those which have more grip on the ground.

This function can be turned on manually by pressing the T+ button located in the dashboard (fig. 102) and operates

below a threshold of 30 km/h. When this speed is exceeded, it is automatically deactivated (the LED in the button remains on) and it is reactivated as soon as the speed goes below the level of 30 km/h.

fig. 102
F0T0311m

Traction Plus operation

The system is deactivated when starting up. To activate the Traction Plus system, press the T+ button (fig. 102): the LED in the button will come on.

The activation of the Traction Plus system involves the following functions being switched on:

☐ inhibition of the ASR function, in order to fully exploit the engine torque;

☐ differential lock effect on the front axle, via the braking system, to improve drive on uneven surfaces.

If this is a problem with the Traction Plus system the warning light Ⓐ in the instrument panel will come on constantly.

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of emission-related components of the vehicle. It also alerts the driver, by switching on of the warning light ☐ on the instrument panel (together with relevant message on the display in some versions) when these components are no longer in peak conditions (see section "Warning lights and messages").

The objective of this system is:

☐ to keep the system efficiency under control;
☐ to warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle malfunction;
☐ to warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.

The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the error codes stored in the control unit together with a series of specific parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.

This check can also be carried out by the traffic police.

IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the system completely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.

WARNING

Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if warning light does not light up when the key is turned to MAR or if, during travel, the warning light comes on either steady or blinking (along with a message on the display). The operation of the warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Follow the laws in force in the country where you are driving.

The vehicle is available with a speed restriction function that can be set, by the user, at one of 4 pre-set levels: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.

To activate/deactivate this function, go to a Fiat Dealership.

After the operation a label (fig. 103) will be stuck on the windscreen containing the maximum set speed.

WARNING The speedometer may show a top speed that is higher than the actual one set by the Dealership as provided for by legislation.

PARKING SENSORS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 104 and their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of obstacles behind the vehicle.

ACTIVATION

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

As the obstacle behind the vehicle comes closer to the bumper, the buzzer becomes more frequent.

Line drawing of a truck front view with a circular inset showing a camera lens (no text or symbols)

BUZZER WARNING

When reverse gear is engaged, an intermittent buzzer automatically turns on (a short beep to indicate the activation of the system).

The beep:

□ becomes louder as the vehicle goes closer to the obstacle;
☐ becomes continuous when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is inferior to 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance increases;
☐ is constant if the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle does not change.

Detection distances

Central operating range 120 cm

Side operating range 60 cm

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

FAILURE INDICATIONS

Any failure of the parking sensors is indicated when engaging reverse gear by a beep lasting 3 seconds.

The sensors must be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice in order to work correctly. Be careful not to scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. Wash the sensors with clean water with the addition of car shampoo, if necessary. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.

Parking sensor operation is automatically disabled when the electric cable plug of the trailer is fitted into the vehicle tow hook socket.

Sensors are automatically enabled again when removing the trailer cable plug.

GENERAL WARNINGS

☐ When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles that may be set above or under the sensors.
□ Objects located near the vehicle back, under certain circumstances, are not detected and could therefore cause damage to the vehicle or become 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) near the vehicle.
☐ For correct parking sensor operation the swing-doors must be closed. Open swing-doors may produce incorrect indications by the system. The rear doors must always be closed.

WARNING

The driver is fully responsible for parking operations and other dangerous manoeuvres. Make sure that no-one is standing in the area, especially children or animals. Parking sensors are designed to assist drivers, who must always pay the utmost attention during potentially dangerous manoeuvres even if they are performed at low speed.

SOUND SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

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

BASIC EQUIPMENT

The system consists of:

☐ sound system power supply cables;
□ front speakers cables (positioned on the panels of the rear door mirrors);
☐ loud speakers cables on front door panels;

INSTALLING THE SOUND SYSTEM

The sound system must be installed in place of the central box. This operation makes the prepared cables available for connection.

To remove the central box press the tongues A-fig. 105.

WARNING

For connection to the existing devices supplied in the vehicle contact Fiat Dealership to prevent any trouble that could impair vehicle safety.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES INSTALLATION

Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle by after-market service must carry the following label:

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving devices provided that they are installed by a specialised centre according to rules of good engineering practice in compliance with the manufacturer's indications.

IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices are installed which imply modifications of the vehicle features. This may also cause the warranty to become null and void in relation to faults caused by the change or related to the change either directly or indirectly.

Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES

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 malfunctioning of the electrical systems installed on the vehicle. 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 officially EC-approved mobile phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the mobile phone.

VEHICLE REFUELLING

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only with 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

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent anomalous operation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type and arctic type (cold, mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel whose features are not suitable to the temperature of use, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions shown on the container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the tank before the fuel.

When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using locally available fuel.

In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

For diesel engines, use diesel fuel for motor vehicles compliant with EN590 European specifications only. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of warranty in relation to the damage caused. If you accidentally introduce other types of fuel in the tank, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has run also for a very short time, you will need to have the entire fuel feed system emptied in addition to the tank.

REFUELLING CAPACITY

To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the pump switches off. Further top-ups could cause faults in the fuel feeding system.

FUEL TANK PLUG fig. 106

Opening

1) Open the flap A-fig. 106 pulling it outwards, keep the cap B still, insert the ignition key in the lock and turn it anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anti-clockwise and extract it. The cap has a device C retaining it to the flap so it cannot be lost. When refilling, attach the cap to the flap, as illustrated.

Closing

I) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the flap.

The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is therefore entirely normal.

Do not place free flames or lit cigarettes near to the fuel filler: this may pose a risk of fire. Keep your face away from the fuel filler to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:

□ three-way catalytic converter;
□ Lambda sensors;
☐ fuel evaporation prevention 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) (for versions/markets, where provided).

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER DPF

(Diesel Particulate Filter)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter integral with the exhaust system that physically traps carbon particles present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.

The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to eliminate particulates almost totally in compliance with current / future law regulations. During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate the amount of particles trapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles. The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the conditions of use of the vehicle.

During the regeneration procedure, the following situations may occur: limited increase of idle speed, activation of electric fan, limited increase of smoke, high temperatures at the exhaust. These events must not be considered as a malfunctioning: they do not impair vehicle behaviour and the environment. If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to section "Warning lights and messages".

USING THE SEAT BELTS

Wear the belt keeping the chest straight and rested against the backrest.

To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A-fig. I and insert it into the buckle B, until the locking click is heard.

If the seat belt jams while it is removed, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.

Press button C to release the belt. Accompany the belt while it is being rewound to prevent twisting.

B A C fig. I F0T0147m

WARNING

Never press button C-fig. I when travelling.

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.

The reel may block when the vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. In addition, the reel mechanism blocks the belt whenever it is pulled and in the event of brisk braking, collisions and on high speed bends.

The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat belts with three anchor points and reel.

WARNING

Remember that in the event of a violent collision, rear

seat passengers that do not wear the seat belt both pose a risk for their safety and represent a serious danger for the front seat passengers.

The rear seat belts must be used as shown in the diagram in fig. 2.

IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly secured when the "red band" B-fig. 3 on the backrest lowering levers A disappears. This red band indicates that the backrest is not secured.

IMPORTANT After putting the seats back in their travel position, restore the seat belt position to make them ready for use.

WARNING

Make sure the backrest is properly secured on both si-

des (red bands B not visible) to prevent it from moving forward in the event of sharp braking, which may cause injuries to passengers.

S.B.R. SYSTEM

The vehicle is provided with a Seat Belt Reminder (S.B.R.) system, which warns the driver and the front passenger if the seat belt is not buckled, as follows:

□ warning light ☑ turns on steady and a buzzer keeps on playing for the first 6 seconds;

□ warning light ≈ blinks and a buzzer plays intermittently for the next 90 seconds;

For permanent deactivation, contact the Fiat Dealership.

The S.B.R. system can also be reset through the setup menu.

PRETENSIONERS

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

The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has tripped; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even 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.

A small amount of smoke may be produced. 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, sea storms, etc.) the device has been affected by water and mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

WARNING

The pretensioner can only be used once. Go to a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced after is has been deployed. The expiration date of the device is shown on the label in the oddment compartment. Refer to the FIAT Dealership when it is time to replace the device.

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.

LOAD LIMITERS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

To increase passengers' safety in the event of an accident, the front and rear seat belt reels (for versions/markets, where provided) have been provided with 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 the event of a front crash.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring that all the other vehicle passengers also respect) the local laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting off.

Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant women: wearing the seat belt significantly reduces the risk for both the expectant mother and the baby in the event of an accident. Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes under the abdomen (see fig. 4).

Line drawing of two individuals seated in chairs, one holding a string instrument (no text or symbols)

fig. 5
F0T0004m

IMPORTANT The belt must not be twisted. The upper part must cross the shoulder and the chest diagonally. The lower part must fit the hips (as shown in fig. 5) rather than the abdomen of the passenger. Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to hold the seat belt away from your body.

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. Always fasten the seat belts on both the front and the rear seats. Travelling without seat belts fastened increases the risk of serious injuries or even death in the event of a crash.

Under no circumstances should the seat belt and pretensioner components be removed or tampered with. All interventions must be performed by qualified and authorised personnel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.

fig. 6 F0T0005m

IMPORTANT Each seat belt may only be used by a single person: do not carry children on your lap with one seat belt protecting both fig. 6. In general, do not place any objects between the person and the belt.

WARNING

If the belt has been subjected to heavy stress, for example after an 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.

SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE

Observe the following:

□ always use the belt with the tap well stretched and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments;
☐ replace the belt after an accident of a certain severity even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the belt if the pretensioners were deployed.
☐ To clean the belt, wash by hand with water and mild soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Do not use strong detergents, bleach, paints or any other substance which could damage the belt fibres.
☐ Keep the reels dry: correct operation may only be ensured if the reels are dry.
☐ 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 wear 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.

A child's head is larger and heavier in proportion to his/her body and the child's muscular and bone structures are not fully developed. For this reason, they require restraint systems which are different from those used by adults to protect them in the event of an accident.

The research results in relation to the best protection for children is illustrated in European standard CEE-R44 which divides the restraint systems into five groups in addition to making their use compulsory:

$$ \text { Group } 0 = \text { up to } 1 0 \mathrm{kg} \text { in weight } $$

$$ \text { Group } 0 + = \text { up to } 1 3 \mathrm{kg} \text { in weight } $$

$$ \text { Group } 1 = 9 - 1 8 \text { kg in weight } $$

$$ \text { Group } 2 = 1 5 - 2 5 \mathrm{kg} \text { in weight } $$

$$ \text { Group } 3 = 2 2 - 3 6 \text { kg in weight } $$

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 type-approval data along with the control mark on a label that must be firmly secured to the child seat and must never be removed.

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

Lineaccessori Fiat includes child restraint systems for each weight group. These devices are recommended as they have been specifically designed for Fiat cars/vehicles.

WARNING

SEVERE DANGER: Do not arrange child seats facing backwards on the front seat if the passenger's airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag in the event of a shock could cause fatal injuries to the baby. It is advisable to carry children on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of an accident. Child seats must not be fitted on the front seat of vehicles provided with a passenger's airbag, whose deployment in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of how severe the shock causing airbag deployment is. If necessary, children can sit on the front seat in vehicles where the passenger's airbag can be disabled. Verify that the airbag is actually deactivated, observing the warning light on the dashboard (see "Front airbag - passenger's side" in paragraph "Front airbags"). Move the passenger's seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child seat and the dashboard.

0-13 kg

fig. 7 F0T0006m

GROUP 0 and 0+

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 vehicle seat belts, as shown in fig. 7 and in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.

9-18 kg

fig. 8 F0T0007m

GROUP I

From 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing forwards seated on child seats fitted with a front cushion. With these seats the vehicle seat belt is used to restrain both child and seat, fig. 8.

WARNING

The figures are indicative for assembly purposes only. Re-

fer to the instructions supplied with the child seat.

WARNING

Some child restraint systems for weight groups 0 and 1

have a rear attachment and seat belts for securing the child. Due to their weight, they may be dangerous if incorrectly mounted (e.g. if fastened to the vehicle seat belts placing a cushion in between). Follow the assembly instructions carefully.

15-25 kg

fig. 9
F0T0008m

GROUP 2

Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the vehicle seat belts directly fig. 9.

The child seat is only needed to position the child correctly with respect to the belts so that the diagonal section crosses the child's chest and never the neck and is snug on the hips and not the abdomen.

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 over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts like adults.

WARNING

The figures are indicative for assembly purposes only. Re-

fer to the instructions supplied with the child seat.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON CHILD'S SEAT USE

The vehicle complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC which governs the arrangement possibilities for child restraints on the seats of a vehicle as shown in the following table.

Group Weight ranges Front Passenger Rear 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

Key:

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

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

☐ Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of an accident.
If the passenger's airbag is deactivated, always check the warning light on the instrument panel to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
□ Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child restraint system which are mandatory by law. Keep the instructions in the vehicle along with the other papers and this handbook. Do not use child seats without instructions.

□ Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling the belt.
☐ Only one child is to be strapped to each retaining system.
□ Always check the seat belts do not fit around the child's throat.
☐ While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or release the belts.
☐ Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-one can hold a child in the event of an accident.
☐ In the event of an accident, replace the child's seat with a new one.

WARNING

Do not arrange child seats on the front seat in vehicles fit-

ted with a passenger's airbag. Children must never travel on the front seat.

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY SETUP

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Provision has been made on the vehicle for mounting a Universal Isofix child restraint system, a new European standardised system for carrying children safely.

Isofix systems can be mounted simultaneously with a traditional restraint system.

An example of child seat is shown in fig. 11. The Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group: 1.

The other weight groups are covered by specific Isofix child seats, which can be used only if specifically designed, tested and type-approved for this vehicle (see vehicle list provided with the child seat).

Line drawing of a car seatbelt with arrows indicating direction and vehicle (no text or symbols)

As a result of the different attachment system, the child seat must be secured using the special lower metal rings A-fig. 12 located between the rear cushion and backrest then, after having removed the rear parcel shelf, fasten the upper belt (available together with the child seat) to the special ring B-fig. 13 (one on each side) located behind the rear seat backrest.

fig. 12 F0T0145m

Remember that only Universal Isofix child seats bearing the type-approval text "ECE R44/03 Universal Isofix" can be used.

Universal Isofix "Duo Plus" child seat is available from Lineaccessori Fiat.

For any further details regarding installation/use, refer to the "Instructions Manual" that must be provided by the Manufacturer of the child restraint system.

B B fig. 13 F0T0284m

WARNING

Fit the child seat when the vehicle is stationary. The

child seat is correctly anchored to the brackets when you hear the click. Follow the instructions for assembly, disassembly and positioning that the manufacturer must supply with the child seat.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON UNIVERSAL ISOFIX CHILD SEAT USE

The table below shows the different installation possibilities of Isofix restraint systems on seats fitted with Universal Isofix fasteners in compliance with European standard ECE 16.

Weight group	Direction of Class of Isofix position child seat Isofix size rear side
Group 0 up to 10 kg	Facing backwards	E	IL
Group 0+ up to 13 kg	Facing backwards	E	IL
	Facing backwards	D	IL
	Facing backwards	C	IL (*)
Group I from 9 up to 18 kg	Facing backwards	D	IL
	Facing backwards	C	IL (*)
	Facing forwards	B	IUF
	Facing forwards	BI	IUF
	Facing forwards	A	IUF

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

IL: suitable for special child restraint systems, specific Isofix type, and type-approved for this type of vehicle. The seat can be installed by moving the front seat forward.

(*) The Isofix child seat can be installed by positioning the front seat all the way up.

FRONT AIRBAGS

The vehicle is provided with front airbags for the driver and the passenger (for versions/markets, where provided).

FRONT AIRBAGS

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

Non-deployment of the airbags in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate in the event of a front crash.

The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between the front occupant's body and the structures which could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.

Driver and passenger front airbags (for versions/markets, where provided) are not a replacement of, but complementary to, the seat belts, which you are recommended to always wear as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.

In the event of a collision, a person not wearing the seat belt may be thrown forward and come into contact with the bag before it has fully opened. The protection offered by the bag is reduced in such a case.

Front airbags may not be activated in the following situations:

☐ in front collisions against highly deformable objects which do not affect the front surface of the vehicle (e.g. bumper collision against guard rail, etc.);
□ vehicle penetration under other vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);

they could not provide any additional protection compared with seat belts, so their deployment would be improper. In these cases non-deployment of the airbag does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

WARNING

Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard (in passenger side airbag area) and on the seats. Do not place objects (e.g. cell phones) on the passenger's side dashboard because these could interfere with correct deployment of the passenger's airbag and cause severe injury to vehicle occupants.

The front airbags on the driver's and passenger's sides are designed and calibrated to protect the front seat passengers who wear safety belts.

The volume of the front airbags at max. inflation fills most of the space between the steering wheel and the driver and between the dashboard and the passenger.

The airbags are not deployed in the event of front collisions of low severity (for which the withholding action of the seat belts is sufficient). Safety belts must always be worn. In the event of a front crash they ensure the correct positioning of the occupant.

FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER'S SIDE fig. 14

It consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.

FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER'S SIDE fig. 15

(for versions/markets, where provided)

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

WARNING

Do not arrange child seats facing backwards if the passenger's front airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag in the event of an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby. Always deactivate the passenger's airbag when placing a child seat on the front seat. Move the passenger's seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child seat and the dashboard. Although this is not mandatory by law, the airbag should be immediately reactivated when children are no longer carried to ensure better protection to adults.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER'S SIDE AND SIDE BAG FOR BREAST/PELVIS PROTECTION

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front seat, the passenger's front airbag and the Side Bag for breast and pelvis protection (for versions/markets, where provided) must be deactivated.

The warning light ⚠ on the instrument panel stays on steady until reactivating the passenger's front airbag and the Side Bag (for versions/markets, where provided).

IMPORTANT To deactivate the passenger's front airbag and the Side Bag (for versions/markets, where provided), refer to paragraphs "Digital display" and "Multifunctional display" in section "Dashboard and controls".

SIDE BAGS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Some versions have front side bags on both the driver's and passenger's sides.

Side bags protect vehicle occupants from side crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the bag between the occupant and the internal parts of the side structure of the vehicle.

Non-deployment of side bags in other types of collisions (front collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate in the event of a frontal crash. The bags inflate instantaneously placing themselves between the front occupant's body and the structures which could cause injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.

AIRBAG

fig. 16

SIDE BAGS fig. 16

(for versions/markets, where provided)

It consists of an instant-inflating bag housed in the front seat backrest. It protects the chest and the hips of the passengers in the event of side crashes of medium-high severity.

IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash, the system provides best protection if the passenger sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allowing correct side bag deployment.

IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing stations).

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

For this reason, the seat belt must be worn at all times. During side collisions the seat belts hold the occupant in the correct position and prevent ejection from the vehicle during very violent collisions.

GENERAL WARNINGS

The front airbags and/or side bags (for versions/markets, where provided) are deployed also if the vehicle is subject to strong collisions involving the underbody area, such as violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the vehicle in big holes or sags in the road.

A small amount of dust will be released when the airbags are deployed. The dust is not harmful and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. Furthermore, the surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the vehicle may be covered with residual dust. This dust may irritate the skin and the eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in the event of exposure.

Should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices is activated, take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to have the deployed devices replaced and to have the system integrity checked.

All checking, repair and replacement operations concerning the airbags must only be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.

If the vehicle is scrapped, have the airbag system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle is sold to a new owner, the new owner must be informed on how the airbags work along with the above warnings, and also be given this “Owner Handbook”.

Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags are deployed differently according to the type of collision. Non-deployment of one of these devices does not therefore indicate a system fault.

WARNING

If the warning light does not turn on or if it stays on when travelling (together with the message on the multifunctional display, where provided) when turning the key to MAR, there could be a failure in the restraint systems. If this is the case, the airbags or pretensioners do not trigger in the event of an impact or, in a minor number of cases, they may trigger accidentally. Do not drive the vehicle and contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system immediately checked.

WARNING

The expiry dates of the pyrotechnic charge and spiral contact are shown in the plate installed inside the oddment compartment. When these dates are near, go to the Fiat Dealership for replacement of these components.

WARNING

Do not travel holding objects on your lap, opposite the breast, holding a pipe, pencil, etc. in your lips. Airbag deployment after a collision could cause serious damage/injury.

WARNING

When the ignition key is in and turned in the MAR position and the engine is off, the airbags may deploy if the vehicle is crashed by another moving vehicle. For this reason, children must never sit on the front seat, even if the vehicle is not moving. We remind you that if the key is inserted and turned in the STOP position, no safety device (airbag or pretensioner) activates following a collision. Non-deployment in such cases must not be considered as the sign of a malfunction.

WARNING

If the vehicle is stolen or an attempt is made to steal it, if it is subject to criminal attacks or flooding, have the airbag system checked by the Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light turns on (front airbag on passenger's side enabled) and blinks for a few seconds to remind that the passenger airbag will activate in the event of a collision. Then it turns off.

WARNING

The front airbags deploy in the event of more severe collisions than those required for deploying the pretensioners. When the shock is within the two deployment thresholds, it is normal that pretensioners only are engaged.

WARNING

The airbag does not replace seat belts, but increases their efficiency. Furthermore, since front airbags are not deployed after low speed collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-overs, the vehicle occupants are only protected by the seat belts, which must be fastened at all times.

PROLONGED VEHICLE INACTIVITY 110

ENGINE STARTING

The vehicle is provided with an electronic engine lock device: refer to "The Fiat CODE system" paragraph in the section "Dashboard and controls" if the engine will not start.

The engine may be noisier during the first seconds of operation, particularly after a long period of inactivity. This does not impair engine operation and reliability, and is typical of hydraulic tappets: the distribution system for the petrol engine of your vehicle has been selected to minimise maintenance.

It is advisable not to demand maximum performance from your vehicle (e.g. excessive accelerations, long distances at top rpm, excessive intense braking, etc.) as soon as the engine is started.

When the engine is switched off, never leave the ignition key in the MAR position to prevent pointless current absorption from draining the battery.

WARNING

It is dangerous to have the engine running indoors. The engine depletes oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

WARNING

Remember that the servo-brake and electric power are not operational until the s started. Therefore, more ef-in usual is required on the pedal and steering wheel.

ENGINE START-UP PROCEDURE FOR PETROL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

☐ ensure that the handbrake is up;
☐ put the gear lever into neutral;
☐ press the clutch pedal all the way down without touching the accelerator;
□ turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the moment the engine starts.

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

If with the ignition key on MAR the warning light remains lit together with warning light, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the other keys provided with the vehicle.

If the engine still will not start, perform an emergency start (see "Emergency start" in section "In an emergency") and then contact a Fiat Dealership.

ENGINE START-UP PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

☐ ensure that the handbrake is up;
☐ put the gear lever into neutral;
□ turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning light 00 will come on in the instrument panel.
□ wait until the warning lights 📋 and 📞 turn off. The hotter the engine, the quicker this will happen;
☐ press the clutch pedal all the way down without touching the accelerator;
□ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the warning light 00 turns off. Waiting too long will waste the work done by the glow plugs.

Release the key as soon as the engine starts.

IMPORTANT When the engine is cold, rotate the ignition key to AVV to completely release the accelerator pedal. If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.

If with the ignition key on MAR, the instrument panel warning light remains on, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the other keys provided with the vehicle.

Contact the Fiat Dealership if the engine still will not start.

The warning light 00 blinks for 60 seconds after starting or during prolonged cranking to indicate a fault to the glow plug heating system. Use the vehicle normally if the engine starts, but contact the Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

WARMING THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER START-UP

Proceed as follows:

□ drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium speed. Do not accelerate abruptly;
☐ do not demand maximum performance for the first few kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts moving.

EMERGENCY START

Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if an instrument panel warning light ⚙️ aremains on constantly.

Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic converter and damage it beyond re-pair.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.

IMPORTANT After a demanding 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.

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.

HANDBRAKE

The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.

Pull the lever upwards until the vehicle is blocked to operate the handbrake.

WARNING

The vehicle must be braked after a few snaps of the lever, otherwise, contact the Fiat Dealership for regulation.

When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is on MAR, the instrument panel warning light (!) will turn on.

Proceed as follows to release the hand-brake:

☐ slightly lift the handbrake and press the release button A-fig. I;
☐ hold button A pressed and lower the lever. Warning light (!) on the instrument panel will go out.

Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally.

PARKING THE VEHICLE

Proceed as follows:

□ stop the engine and engage the hand-brake;
☐ engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the vehicle faces uphill or reverse if it faces downhill) and leave the wheels steered.

If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is advisable to further block the wheels with a wedge or stone.

Do not leave the ignition key on MAR to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the vehicle.

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

USING THE GEARBOX

To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift the gear lever A-fig. 2 into one of the required positions (the diagram is shown on the knob fig. 2).

IMPORTANT Reverse may only be engaged when the vehicle is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and grating.

1 3 5 2 4 R 1 3 5 2 4 R A

fig. 2
F0T0055m

WARNING

Press the clutch pedal fully to shift the gears correctly.

For this reason, there must be no obstacles on the floor under the pedals: make sure that the mats are always flat and do not interfere with the pedals.

Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as the force exerted, even if slight, could lead to premature wear on the gearbox internal components over time. 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 provided, the clutch pedal control electronics can intervene interpreting the wrong drive style as a fault.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS

Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimize polluting emissions of CO_2 and other pollutants (nitric oxide, unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc...).

GENERAL REMARKS

Vehicle maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the “Scheduled Service Plan”.

Tyres

Check tyre pressure regularly at least once every four weeks: excessively low pressure will increase consumption because rolling resistance will be higher.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the vehicle (especially when driving in town) and its trim greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.

Roof rack/ski rack

Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof after use. These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration of the vehicle and have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.

Electric devices

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

Climate control

The climate control system leads to higher fuel consumption (up to +20% on average): use air vents only when the external temperature allows it.

Spoilers

The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect air drag and fuel consumption levels.

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine up with the vehicle running at min. or max. rpm: the engine warms up very slowly in these conditions, increasing consumption and emissions. It is advisable to start off immediately and slowly keeping the engine speed down: the engine will warm up much faster this way.

Unnecessary manoeuvres

Avoid revving up when starting at traffic lights or before stopping the engine. The latter manoeuvre, like doubling the clutch, is unnecessary and causes increased fuel consumption and pollution.

Gear selection

Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase consumption.

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

Top speed

Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed increases. Keep your speed as uniform as possible, avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration which cause excessive fuel consumption and increase emissions.

Acceleration

Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on consumptions and emissions: accelerate gradually.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will prevent the engine from reaching optimal running temperature.

Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to +30% on urban cycle) and emissions will increase.

Traffic and road conditions

Quite high consumption is caused by heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue with frequent use of low gears or in cities with many traffic lights. Mountain and rough roads also have a negative effect on consumption.

Traffic hold-ups

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

TOWING TRAILERS

IMPORTANT NOTES

The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved tow hitch and adequate electrical system to tow caravans or trailers. Installation must be performed by specialised personnel who will issue the required papers for travelling on roads.

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 of the trailer.

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

The weight of the trailer on the vehicle tow hitch will reduce the loading capacity of the vehicle by the same amount.

Consider the weight of the vehicle at full load, including accessories and luggage to make sure you do not exceed the maximum towable weight (shown on the registration certificate).

Respect the speed limits specific for each country for vehicles towing trailers. In all cases, the top speed must not exceed 80 km/h.

WARNING

The ABS with which the vehicle may be equipped will

not control the braking system of the trailer. Particular caution is required on slippery roads.

WARNING

Never modify the braking system of the vehicle to con-

trol the trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be fully independent from the hydraulic system of the vehicle.

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres type 185/65 R15 only (see paragraph "Tyres" in section "Technical specifications").

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

For the type of snow tyre to be used, inflation pressures and specifications, follow the instructions given in paragraph "Tyres" in section "Technical specifications".

The winter performance of these tyres is considerably reduced when the tread thickness is less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.

Due to their specific features, the performance of snow tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres in normal conditions or long motorway stretches. Use them exclusively according to the performance levels for which they were type-approved.

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

WARNING

The max. speed of snow tyres with "Q" mark must not exceed 160 km/h, respecting however the applicable rules of the Highway Code.

SNOW CHAINS

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

The snow chains may be applied only to the front wheel tyres (drive wheels).

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

Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid pot-holes, steps and pavements

and also avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with snow in order to prevent damaging the vehicle and the roadbed.

PROLONGED VEHICLE INACTIVITY

If the vehicle needs to be stopped for longer than one month, the following precautions must be taken:

☐ park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, possibly, well-ventilated place;
☐ engage a gear and check that the hand-brake is not engaged;
☐ disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and check charge (see paragraph "Battery" in section "Maintenance and care");
☐ 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 vehicle with a piece of fabric or perforated plastic sheet; do not use compact plastic tarpaulins, which prevent humidity from evaporating from the surface of the vehicle;
☐ inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the normal specified pressure and check it at intervals;
☐ do not drain the engine cooling system.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

GENERAL WARNINGS

Lighting of a warning light is associated to a specific message and/or buzzer when applicable. These indications are brief and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained in the Owner's Handbook, which you are recommended to read carefully in all cases. Refer to the information in this section in the event of a failure indication.

IMPORTANT Failure indications on the display fall into either of two categories: serious failure and less serious failure.

Serious failures are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle".

Less serious failures are indicated by a limited warning "cycle".

Press MENU ESC to stop the warning cycle in both cases. The warning light (or symbol on the display) on the instrument panel will stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.

When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the warning light turns on and should go off after a few seconds.

Low brake fluid level

The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level due to possible leaks in the circuit.

On certain versions the dedicated message is displayed.

WARNING

If the warning light Ⓑ turns on when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display) stop the vehicle immediately and contact Fiat Dealership.

Handbrake on

The warning light turns on when the hand-brake is on.

On certain versions, if the vehicle is moving the buzzer will also sound.

IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on when travelling, check that the handbrake is not engaged.

AIRBAG FAILURE (red)

When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the warning light turns on and should go off after a few seconds.

The warning light stays on glowing steadily if there is a failure in the airbag system.

On certain versions the dedicated message is displayed.

WARNING

If the warning light does not turn on or stays on during vehicle travel when turning the key to MAR, a failure may be present in the restraint systems. If this is the case, the airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed after an impact or, in a minor number of cases, they may be deployed accidentally. Contact the Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked immediately.

WARNING

The failure of the warning light is indicated by the warning light flashing longer than the expected 4 seconds, thus signalling that the front passenger airbag is deactivated. In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the airbag on the passenger's side (both front and side airbags, for versions/markets, where provided). In this case, warning light may not indicate a fault in the system. Contact the Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked before driving off.

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG/SIDE BAGS DISABLED

(amber)

The warning light A_2 comes on when the front passenger's airbag and the side bags (where provided) are disabled. With front passenger's airbag on, turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light A_2 comes on steadily for about 4 seconds, it flashes for other 4 seconds and then it goes off.

WARNING

When the warning light _2 comes on, it indicates that the light has failed. In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the airbag on the passenger's side (both front and side airbags, for versions/markets, where provided). Contact the Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked before driving off.

ENGINE COOLANT HIGH TEMPERATURE (red)

When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the warning light turns on and should go off after a few seconds.

The warning light turns on when the engine is overheated.

If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:

during normal travel: stop the vehicle, stop the engine and check that the water level in the vessel is not under the MIN reference line. In this case, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX references on the vessel itself. Also check for leakages. Go to a Fiat Dealership if the warning should come on when the engine is started again.

☐ In demanding vehicle use conditions (e.g. towing trailers uphill or vehicle at full load): slow down and stop the vehicle if the warning light stays on. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to favour better coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check correct liquid level as described above.

IMPORTANT Under severe use of the vehicle, keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before switching it off. On certain versions the dedicated message is displayed.

LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)

When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the warning light turns on and should go out as soon as the engine is started (with the engine running at idle speed a brief delay in going out is allowed).

If the warning light stays on glowing steadily, immediately contact the Fiat Dealership.

STARTING THE ENGINE

EMERGENCY START

Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if warning light 📋 comes on steady on the instrument panel.

STARTING THE ENGINE WITH THE AUXILIARY BATTERY

If the battery is down, the engine can be started using an auxiliary battery having the same capacity, or higher.

For engine starting follow the procedure below, 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 to an earthing point ↓ on the engine or the gearbox of the vehicle to be started.
□ Start the engine.
☐ When the engine has been started, follow the sequence above in reverse order to remove the leads.

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

fig. I F0T0189m

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

IMPORTANT Never connect the negative terminals of the two batteries directly: sparks could ignite explosive gas released from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is installed on another vehicle, prevent accidental contact between metallic parts of the two vehicles.

Never use a quick battery charger for emergency start operations: this might damage the electronic system and

the engine start/supply control units.

WARNING

This procedure must be performed by expert personnel

because incorrect actions may cause electrical discharge of considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and eyes. Keep naked flames away from the battery. No smoking. Do not cause sparks.

BUMP STARTING

Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.

IMPORTANT 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 turn the steering wheel.

IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED

Cargo versions

The vehicle is supplied with a regular size spare wheel. Alternatively, the vehicle may be equipped with a "Fix&Go fast tyre repair kit" (see instructions in next section).

Combi versions

The vehicle is supplied with a “Fix&Go fast tyre repair kit” (see instructions in next section). As an alternative to the Fix&Go kit, the vehicle may be equipped with a regular size spare wheel.

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

WARNING

The spare wheel (for versions/markets, where provided) is specific for your vehicle. Therefore, it must not be used on vehicles of a different model. Do not use spare wheels of different models on your vehicle. The spare wheel must only be used in an emergency. Use it as shortly as possible.

WARNING

Indicate that the vehicle is stationary according to the laws in force: emergency lights, refracting warning triangle, etc. Passengers should leave the vehicle, particularly if it is very loaded, and wait for the wheel to be changed away from on-coming traffic. In case of steep slopes or rough slopes, place wedges or other materials suitable to stop the vehicle under the wheels. Repair and refit the standard wheel as soon as possible. Do not apply grease to the bolt threading before assembly: the bolts could come loose unexpectedly.

WARNING

Use the jack only to replace wheels on the vehicle with which it is supplied or on other vehicles of the same model. Never use the jack for other purposes, such as lifting other vehicle models. Never use the jack to carry out repairs under the vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than those shown on the label.

WARNING

Incorrect wheel cap assembly may cause it to come off when the vehicle is travelling. Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never introduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Regularly check the pressure of the tyres and small spare wheel referring to the values shown in the "Technical Specifications" section.

WHEN NEEDING TO CHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

☐ 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.
☐ When a bulb is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is intact before replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse blows” paragraph in this section for the location of fuses.

WARNING

Modifications or repairs to the electrical system that are not carried out properly or do not take the system technical specifications into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

WARNING

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

Halogen lamps must be handled holding the metallic part only. Touching the transparent part of the bulb with your fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted light and even compromise duration of the lamp. In case of accidental contact, rub the lamp with a cloth and spirit and leave to dry.

If possible, we recommend that you let the Fiat Dealership replace the bulbs. Proper operation and orientation of the external lights are essential for the safety of the running vehicle, and for avoiding legal sanctions.

IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear on the internal surface of the headlight: this does not indicate a fault. It is a natural event caused by the low temperature and the degree of humidity in the air. It will rapidly disappear when the headlights are switched on. The presence of drops inside the headlights indicates infiltration of water. Go to a Fiat Dealership.

IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL

Fuses are protective devices for the electric system: they come into action (i.e. cut off) mainly due to a fault or improper action on the system.

When a specific device does not work correctly, check the efficiency of the corresponding fuse. The conducting element A- fig. 46 must not be interrupted.

If it is, replace the blown fuse with a new one having the same amperage (same colour).

B intact fuse.

C fuse with broken conducting element.

To replace the fuse use the extractor D positioned inside the tool box or the Fix & Go kit container (for versions/markets, where provided).

IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT

IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is provided as an example only. You are recommended to go to a Fiat Dealership to have this operation performed.

We recommend recharging the battery slowly for approximately 24 hours at low amperage. A prolonged recharge might damage the battery.

Charge the battery as follows:

□ disconnect battery negative terminal;
□ connect the charger cables to the battery terminals, observing the poles;
□ turn on the charger;
□ when you have finished, turn the charger off before disconnecting the battery;
□ reconnect battery negative terminal.

WARNING

Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact

with your skin and eyes. The battery must be recharged in a ventilated place away from naked flames or possible sources of sparks to avoid the risk of explosion and fire.

WARNING

Never attempt to recharge a frozen battery: defrost it first

to prevent the risk of explosion. If the battery was frozen, have it inspected by specialised personnel before recharging to check that the internal elements are not damaged and that the casing is not cracked, which causes the risk of leakage of poisonous, corrosive gas.

IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE LIFTED

If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership which is equipped with the arm hoist or workshop lift.

IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE TOWED

The tow ring supplied with the vehicle is positioned in the tool box behind the left-hand side backrest (on Cargo versions) or in the boot (on Combi versions).

HOOKING THE TOW HOOK fig. 54-55

Proceed as follows:

□ release the cap A;
☐ take the tow hook B from the tool box;
□ tighten the hook on the rear or front threaded pin.

WARNING

Before starting towing operations, turn the ignition key

to MAR and then to STOP, without extracting it. If the key is extracted, the steering wheel lock will be automatically activated, thus preventing steering.

WARNING

Clean the threaded seat carefully before fastening the ring.

Make sure that the ring is fully fastened in the seat before towing the vehicle.

WARNING

Do not start the engine when towing the vehicle.

WARNING

During towing operations the brake booster is not engaged.

Therefore, a heavier effort must be made on the pedal. Do not use wires for towing. Do not jerk. During towing operations make sure not to damage parts in contact with the vehicle. When towing the vehicle comply with the specific rules of the Highway Code regarding the towing device and the behaviour to maintain on the road. Do not start the engine while towing the vehicle.

The front and rear tow hooks must only be used for emergency situations on the road.

The vehicle may be towed for short distances when a dedicated device is used in compliance with the Highway Code (rigid bar), in order to move the vehicle on the road in preparation for towing by a tow truck Tow hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or where there are obstacles and/or for towing operations using cables or other non-rigid devices. Respecting the above conditions, towing must only take place with two vehicles (one towing, the other towed) travelling as far as possible in alignment along the same centreline.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long vehicle life under the best conditions.

This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and maintenance operations every 30,000 km.

Scheduled servicing will not however fully cover all of the needs of your vehicle. Even before carrying out the 30,000 km service coupon, and later between one consecutive coupons, ordinary vehicle care is still required such as for example routine checks to top up the fluid levels, if necessary, tyre pressure checks, etc.

IMPORTANT Scheduled service coupons are required by the manufacturer. Non-performance of service coupons may cause the warranty to become null and void.

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

If during scheduled servicing, the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these may be carried out exclusively after obtaining the explicit agreement from the Customer.

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

If your vehicle is used frequently for towing, the interval between service coupons must be reduced.

PERIODIC CHECKING

Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and top up if required:

□ engine coolant fluid level;

□ brake fluid level;

□ windscreen washer fluid level;

□ tyre pressure and conditions;

☐ operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators, emergency lights, etc.);

☐ operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, position and wear of the windscreen and rear window wiper blades (where provided);

Every 3,000 km check the following and top-up, if required: engine oil level.

You are recommended to use FL Selenia products, designed and produced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see table "Refuelling" in section "Technical specifications").

DEMANDING VEHICLE USE

Should prevailing use of the vehicle be under one of the following specially heavy conditions:

□ trailer towing;

□ dusty roads;

☐ short repeated distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external temperatures below zero;

☐ frequently idling engine or long distance low speed driving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in case of a long term inactivity;

□ urban driving;

perform the following inspections more frequently than shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:

☐ check front disk brake pad conditions and wear;

☐ check cleanness of bonnet and boot locks and lever cleanness and lubrication;
☐ visually inspect the conditions of: the engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);

ENGINE OIL fig. 3-4

Engine oil check

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

Extract the test rod A and clean it. Then, put it back all the way down and extract it again to check that the level ranges between the MIN and MAX levels on the rod. The range between the MIN and MAX levels corresponds to approximately 1 litre of oil.

Topping up the engine oil

If the oil level is near or even under the MIN line, add oil through the filler B to reach the MAX line.

Oil level must never exceed the MAX line.

IMPORTANT If the engine oil level results above the MAX level after the check, go to the Fiat Dealership for restoring the correct level.

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.

Engine oil consumption

The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

When the vehicle is new, the engine needs to be run in. Therefore, the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.

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

IMPORTANT Always top up using engine oil of the same type as that already in the engine.

WARNING

Proceed very carefully inside the engine compartment when the engine is hot: risk of burns. Remember that the electric fan may start up if the engine is hot: risk of injury. Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments: they may be dragged by moving parts.

Exhausted engine oil and oil filter contain substances which are dangerous for the environment. For oil and filter changing, we recommend contacting a Fiat Dealership.

A fig. 5 F0T0078m

FLUID FOR ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold and must not drop below the MIN line on the vessel.

If the level is too low, slowly pour a mixture of 50% distilled water and of FL Selenia PARAFLU UP into the filler A-fig. 5 of the vessel.

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

When the vehicle is used under particularly harsh weather conditions, we recommend using a 60-40 mixture of PARAFLU UP and demineralised water.

PARAFLU UP antifreeze is used in the engine cooling system. Use fluid of the same type contained in the cooling system for top-ups. PARAFLU UP may not be mixed with other types of fluids. If it is, do not start the engine and contact the Fiat Dealership.

WARNING When the engine is extremely hot, do not remove the cap from the vessel: risk of burns. The cooling system is pressurised. If required, replace the cap with an original spare part so as not to jeopardise system efficiency.

A fig. 6 F0T0079m

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING FLUID

To add fluid lift the cap A-fig. 6 and pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid, in the following proportions:

☐ 30% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 70% of water in summer;
☐ 50% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50% of water in winter.

In case of temperatures below -20^ , use undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 fluid.

Check level through the reservoir.

WARNING

Do not travel with the wind-screen washing reservoir

empty: the action of the windscreen washer is essential for improving visibility.

WARNING

Some commercial additives for windscreen washing are

flammable. The engine compartment contains hot parts which could start a fire if they come into contact.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled component A

fig. 7 F0T0080m

BRAKE FLUID

Release cap A-fig. 7. Check that the liquid contained in the tank is at the maximum level.

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

Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubricants” table (see section “Technical Specifications”). When opening the cap A, make sure that no dirt gets into the reservoir.

For topping up always use a funnel with built-in filter (mesh smaller than or equal to 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 "Scheduled servicing plan".

Prevent brake fluid which is highly corrosive from coming into contact with painted parts. Should that occur, im-

mediately wash with water.

WARNING

The brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In case of accidental contact, wash the parts with water and mild soap and rinse with plenty of water. If swallowed immediately call a doctor.

WARNING

The symbol Ⓐ on the container indicates a synthetic brake fluid, which is different from a mineral fluid. Use of a mineral type fluid will damage the special rubber seals of the braking system beyond repair.

A

fig. 8
F0T0081m

POWER STEERING SYSTEM FLUID

Unscrew the cap A-fig. 8. Check that the fluid contained in the tank is between the MIN and MAX levels visible on the reservoir. The level may go over the MAX line when the oil is hot.

If topping up is required, make sure the new oil has the same specifications as that already in the system.

WARNING

Prevent power steering fluid from coming into contact engine parts: it is flammable.

Oil consumption is extremely low. If another top-up is required after only a short period of time, have the system checked for leakage at a Fiat Dealership.

AIR CLEANER/ POLLEN FILTER

Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter replaced by a Fiat Dealership.

BATTERY

The vehicle fits a low-maintenance battery: no top-ups with distilled water are needed in normal conditions of use.

A periodic check is however required to make sure that the battery is in efficient conditions. Have it performed by the Fiat Dealership or skilled personnel only.

WARNING

The battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid

contact with the skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion and fire.

WARNING

Running the battery with an excessively low liquid level

will damage the battery beyond repair and even cause an explosion.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

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

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

Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for maintenance.

Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic devices may cause severe damage to your vehicle. Go to a Fiat Dealer-

ship if, after buying the vehicle, you want to install accessories (alarms, mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest the most suitable devices and advise you if a higher capacity battery needs to be installed.

Batteries contain substances that can be very dangerous for the environment. It is advisable to have the battery replaced by a Fiat Dealership where it will be disposed of according to the law.

If the vehicle remains unused for a long time at very low temperatures, remove the battery and take it to a warm avoid freezing.

WARNING

Whenever an operation on the battery or near it is required, always protect your eyes with special goggles.

USEFUL ADVICE

TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY

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

□ when you park the vehicle, ensure the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed properly;
☐ switch off all lights inside the vehicle: the vehicle is however equipped with a system which switches all internal lights off automatically;
☐ do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, emergency 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.

The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing (e.g. already at -10^ ). Refer to the paragraph “Vehicle inactivity” in “Starting and driving” if the vehicle is left parked for a long time.

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

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

Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare wheel, approximately once every two weeks and before starting a long journey: this check must be performed with the tyre rested and cold.

It is normal for pressure to increase when the vehicle is used. For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see "Wheels" in "Technical specifications" section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 9:

A normal pressure: evenly worn tread;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn on the edges;
C excessive pressure: tread particularly worn in the middle.

The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the country where you are driving.

IMPORTANT NOTES

☐ Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent knocks against the curb, potholes or other obstacles if possible. Long distances on rough roads may damage the tyres;
☐ check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if required.
☐ Do not overload your vehicle: this may cause serious damage to wheels and tyres;
☐ if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and charge it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering system;

☐ a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres checked by specialised personnel if they have been fitted for longer than 6 years. Remember to check the spare wheel very carefully.
☐ In case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those with an unknown origin.
☐ If a tyre is replaced, also change the inflation valve.
☐ To allow even wear between the front and rear tyres, it is advisable to change them every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse the direction of rotation.

WARNING

Remember that road holding also depends on the correct tyre inflation pressure.

WARNING

If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause serious damage.

WARNING

Do not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the vehicle to the left and vice versa.

WARNING

Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the use of temperatures exceeding 150°C. 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 instructions provided in the “Scheduled servicing plan” in this section.

Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful inspections are therefore necessary.

WINDSCREEN/ REAR WINDOW WIPER

(for versions/markets, where provided)

BLADES

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

Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once a year.

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

☐ make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze product to release it if required.
☐ remove the snow from the window: this will avoid overstressing the electrical motor in addition to protecting the blades;
☐ do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen wipers on dry glass.

WARNING

Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in bad weather.

SPRAY NOZZLES

If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is fluid in the vessel of the wind-screen/rear window wiper (for versions/markets, where provided) (see "Checking fluid levels" in this section).

Then, make sure that the outlet holes are not clogged. Unclog them using a needle, if required.

BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROM WEATHER CONDITIONS

The main causes of corrosion are the following:

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

Equal importance must be attributed to the abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust as well as sand and mud and gravel raised by other vehicles.

On your vehicle Fiat has adopted the best manufacturing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion. These are the most important technologies:

☐ painting products and systems which give the vehicle particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
☐ use of galvanised (or pre-treated) 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.

VEHICLE BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY

Your vehicle 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.

Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent the formation of rust. Only use genuine spare paint products for touch-ups (see "Bodywork paint identification plate" in the "Technical Specifications" section).

Normal maintenance of paintwork consists in washing the vehicle: the frequency depends on the conditions and environment where the vehicle is used.

For example, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more often in areas with a high environmental pollution or on roads sprinkled with salt.

To correctly wash the vehicle:

☐ remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to it if the vehicle is washed in an automatic system;

☐ wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;

☐ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing with the sponge;

☐ rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather.

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.

Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where water may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to leave the vehicle outdoors for a while after washing it to give water time to evaporate.

Do not wash the vehicle after it has been parked in the sun or when the engine bonnet is hot: this could take the shine off the paint.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do not park the vehicle under trees; the resinous substance released by many species 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. The vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the

liquid 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 Wipe the rear window inside gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.

Engine compartment

At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine compartment taking care not to direct the water jet against the electronic control units and the relay/fuse control unit on the left side of the engine compartment (running direction). Have this operation performed at a specialised workshop.

IMPORTANT Perform this operation on a cold engine and with the key at STOP. After the washing operation, make sure that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or damaged.

Front headlights

IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plastic lens.

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.

WARNING

Never use flammable products, such as petrol, ether or petrol, to clean the vehicle. The electrostatic charges are generated by rubbing during operations may cause a

WARNING

Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: risk of explosion.

Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50^ C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, inner temperature can greatly exceed this value.

CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS

Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.

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

CLEANING PLASTIC PARTS

It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a moist cloth and a solution of water and mild soap. Remove grease and tough stains using specific solvent-free products for cleaning plastic parts specifically designed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour of the treated parts.

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

STEERING WHEEL/GEARBOX LEVER KNOB/HANDBRAKE COATED WITH REAL LEATHER

(for versions/markets, where provided)

These components must be cleaned with mild soap and water only. Never use spirit and/or alcohol based products.

Before using specific products for cleaning the interiors, carefully read the instructions on the product label and ensure that it does not contain alcohol and/or alcohol-based substances.

If drops of the specific product for cleaning windows accidentally falls onto the leather of the steering wheel / gear lever knob during windscreen window washing, immediately wipe the drops away and then wash the area with mild soap and water.

IMPORTANT If a lock device is installed on the steering wheel, maximum care must be taken during installation in order to prevent abrasions of the leather upholstery.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval 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 vehicle;
□ extraurban cycle: frequent accelerations in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the vehicle: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
☐ combined consumption: calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extraurban consumption.

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic and weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the vehicle, 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.

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.
