THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect you car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulate signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the "password" by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the car 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.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised correctly, the instrument panel warning light will turn on.
In this case, the key should be moved to the STOP position and then back to MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try again with the other key provided with the car. If it is still not possible to start the car contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code, which must be memorised by the system control unit. To memorise new keys, up to a maximum of eight, apply solely to Fiat Dealership taking with you the CODE card and the keys, a personal identity document and the car's ownership documents. The codes of the keys not provided during the new memorising procedure are erased from the memory. This is to ensure that any lost or stolen keys can no longer be used to start the car.
Warning light coming on when driving
☐ If the warning light ☑ turns on, this means that the system is running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop).
☐ If the warning light Ⓞ continues to stay on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks.
THE KEYS
CODE CARD
Together with the keys you will receive the CODE card fig. 6 to be presented to Fiat Dealership when requesting additional keys.
IMPORTANT In order to ensure perfect efficiency of the electronic devices contained inside the keys, they should never be exposed to direct sunlight.

Replacing the battery of the key with remote control
If, when pressing button 🔒, 🔒, or 🔒, the led F-fig. 12 (where provided) on the key flashes briefly only once, the battery should be replaced with an equivalent one that can be purchased at common stores.
Battery replacement:
☐ press button A and move the metal insert B to open position;
□ turn the screw C to ☐ using a fine bit screwdriver;
☐ take out the battery case D and replace the battery E making sure that the bias is correct;
☐ re-insert the battery holder D in the key and lock it turning the screw C to ☑.
Used batteries are harmful to the environment. They should be disposed of as specified by law in the special containers
provided, or take them to a Fiat Deal- ership, which will deal with their dis- posal.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE (where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
☐ door internal handles and safety lock button;
☐ button A-fig. 13 for locking/unlocking the doors, placed on the driver door panel mask;
thus hindering doors opening from inside the passenger's compartment in case of attempt to break-into (e.g. window breaking).
The dead lock device guarantees the best protection against unwanted access. Therefore, it should be actuated every time the car is parked and left unattended.
WARNING
Once the dead lock device has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car in any way whatsoever. For this reason, make sure there are no persons left inside the car.
WARNING
If the battery of the key with remote control is down, the
dead lock device can only be activated through the metal insert of the key in the revolving plugs of the doors as described previously: in this case the dead lock device is active only on the rear doors.
Device activation
The device is automatically activated on every door in the following cases:
□ turning twice the key without remote control (where provided) in closing direction;
□ pressing twice button 🔒 of the key with remote control.
Device activation is signalled by three flashings of the direction indicators and flashing of the led on the driver door panel (see the table on next page).
If one of the doors is not perfectly closed, the dead lock device will not activate, thus preventing that a person getting into the car from the open door remains blocked inside the passenger's compartment when she/he closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on every door in the following cases:
□ when unlocking the doors;
□ when unlocking only the driver's door;
☐ when turning the ignition key to MAR.
The main functions that can be activated with the keys (with or without remote control) are the following:
| Type of key | Door opening | Door closing | Window and Skywindow opening (where provided) | Window and Skywindow closing (where provided) | Dead lock (where provided) | Tailgate opening |

ALARM (where provided)
The alarm function is provided in addition to all remote control functions previously described and it is controlled by the receiver located under the dashboard, next to the fuse box.
WHEN THE ALARM IS TRIGGERED
The alarm comes into action in the following cases:
□ unlawful opening of one of the doors, bonnet or boot (perimetral protection);
□ attempt to start the engine (turning the ignition key to MAR);
□ battery cable cutting;
□ presence of moving bodies in the passenger's compartment (volumetric protection);
□ abnormal raising/sloping of the car.
Depending on the markets, the cutting in of the alarm causes operation of the siren and direction indicators (for about 26 seconds). The ways of operating and the number of cycles may vary depending on the markets.
A maximum number of sound/sight cycles is however envisaged.
Volumetric and anti-raising protections can be cut off by operating the front ceiling light controls (see paragraphs “Volumetric protection sensors” and “Anti-raising sensor” on the following pages).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE system, which is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE ALARM
With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and the ignition key in the STOP position or with the key removed, point the key with remote control in the direction of the car, then press and release the button.
With the exception of certain markets, the system sounds a "beep" and the doors are locked.
Engagement of the alarm is preceded by a self-diagnostic test. If a fault is detected the system sounds a further warning "beep" and the display shows the relevant message (see section "Warning lights and messages").
In this case, switch the alarm system off by pressing button ☐, check that the doors, bonnet and tailgate are properly shut, then switch the alarm on again by pressing button ☐.
Otherwise, the door, bonnet or tailgate that is not shut properly will be excluded from the alarm system control.
If the doors, bonnet and boot are shut correctly and the control signal is repeated, the system self-diagnostics has detected a system operating fault. It is therefore necessary to contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT When operating the central door locking with the metal insert A-fig. 14 of the key, the alarm is not activated.
IMPORTANT The electronic alarm is built in compliance with the law and regulations of the different countries.
HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE ALARM
Press button 🔒 of the key with remote control.
The system will react as follows (with the exception of certain markets):
□ two brief flashes of the direction indicators;
□ two brief "beeps";
□ door unlocking.
IMPORTANT Operating the central door locking with the metal insert of the key will not deactivate the alarm.
VOLUMETRIC PROTECTION SENSORS
The volumetric sensors are inside the front ceiling light in the passenger's compartment. To make sure that the volumetric sensors are working properly, check that doors, boot, bonnet, windows and Skywindow (where provided) are shut.
Volumetric protection deactivation
If it is necessary to switch on the alarm when animals or people are in the car, press button A-fig. 15 on the front ceiling light to deactivate the volumetric protection.
Deactivation is needed also in the presence of additional independent heater and when it is switched on with the remote control.
Protection cut-out stays on until activating the central door opening again.
ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any abnormal car raising/sloping, even partial (e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest car sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally and transversally.
Sideslip angle changes lower than 0.5^/min . (e.g.: slow tyre flattening) are not considered.
fig. 16
Anti-raising protection deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection (for example when towing the car with alarm on) press button A-fig. 16 on the front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on until activating the central door opening again.
INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS TO BREAK IN
Any attempt to break in is indicated by warning light 📋 on the instrument panel with the relevant message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").
HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM SYSTEM
To deactivate the alarm system completely (for instance during prolonged inactivity of the car) simply lock the car turning the metal insert of the key with remote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT To cut-out the electronic alarm if remote control batteries are down or the system is failing, fit the key into the ignition switch and turn it to MAR.
IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 3 different positions:
☐ STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked. Certain electrical devices (e.g.: sound system, central door locking, electronic alarm, etc.) can work.
☐ MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are powered.
□ AVV: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety mechanism that, in the event the engine is not started, compels the driver to turn the ignition key back to STOP before repeating the starting operation.
fig. 17
FOC0164m
WARNING
If the ignition device is tampered with (e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked over by a Fiat Dealership before restarting to drive.
WARNING
When getting out of the car, always remove the key to prevent any occupants from accidentally activating the controls. Remember to engage the handbrake and if the car is parked on uphill slope to engage the first gear. If the car is facing downhill, engage the reverse gear. Never leave unsupervised children in the car.
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engaging
When the key is at STOP remove the key and turn the steering wheel until it locks.
Disengaging
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition key to MAR.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that could badly affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with homologation requirements.
WARNING
Never remove the ignition key while the car is moving.
The steering wheel would automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it. This also applies when the car is being towed.
INSTRUMENTS
SPEEDOMETER fig. 18
It shows the car speed.
REV. COUNTER fig. 18a
The rev counter shows engine rpm. The needle pointed to the red area (danger) indicates excessive high engine speed. Do not drive for long periods with the needle in this area.
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 speed increase. This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example when activating the climate control system or the fan. In particular a slow change in the speed preserves the battery charge.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and begins working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle should move to different positions of the scale according to the conditions of use of the car.
C - Low engine coolant temperature.
H - High engine coolant temperature.
fig. 19
FOC0528m
The turning on of the warning light A-fig. 19 (together with the message shown 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 reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.
The reserve warning light B-fig. 19 turns on to indicate that approx. 8 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the indications given in paragraph "At the filling station").
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could damage the catalyst.
IMPORTANT If the needle sets at E with warning light B flashing, it means that the system is malfunctioning. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected.
MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY
Your car is fitted with the multifunction display that shows all the useful information necessary when driving.

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams is of vital importance for your safety and comfort and also for the other road users. To ensure you and other drivers have the best visibility conditions when travelling with the headlights on, the headlights must be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT When turning on gas discharge headlight lamps (where provided), it is normal that there should be a vertical movement of lenses, and consequently the same will also happen to the light beam, for the time required to achieve the correct headlight trim stabilisation, equal to approx. 2 seconds.
fig. 122
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device can be operated with the ignition key at MAR and dipped beams on. When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means that the headlight beam rises. In this case, it is necessary to return it to the correct position.
To adjust the headlight slant
Press button A-fig. 122 located on the mask aside the steering wheel column; if the car is fitted with gas discharge headlights (xenon), slant adjustment is electronic and therefore button A is not present.
Press button A at arrow ▲ this will increase by one position, press the arrow ▼ on the button, this will lower by one position.
The display B-fig. 122 located on the instrument panel, provides the visual indication of the positions during the adjustment operation.
Correct positions as a function of the load
Position 0 - one or two passengers on front seats.
Position I - five passengers.
Position 2 - five passengers + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every time the load carried changes.
FRONT FOG LIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT BEAM ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are adjusted for circulation in the country in which the car is marketed. In countries with opposite circulation, to avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is necessary to cover the areas of the headlight using a special sticker tape provided for the purpose and available at Lineaccessori Fiat. Contact Fiat Dealership.
ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with 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.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum efficiency of the braking system, it is necessary a setting period of about 500 km: during this period, it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged brakes.
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
When the ABS cuts in, you will feel the brake pedal pulsating slightly and the system get noisier: it means that the speed should be altered to fit the type of road surface.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that the grip between tyre and the road surface has reached the limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
If the ABS system cuts in it is a sign that the grip between the tyre and the road surface has reached the limit you must slow down to match the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-road grip at the best, but it cannot improve it; you should therefore take every care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking unnecessary risks.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in the shortest amount of space possible under the current road conditions.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on of warning light (AES) on the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages"). In this case the braking system is still efficient, though without the aid of the ABS system. Drive carefully to the closest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
WARNING
If warning light Ⓑ comes on (together with the message on the display), stop the car immediately and contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system, in fact, can compromise the braking system, both traditional systems and systems with ABS.
EBD failure
If the warning lights (ARD) and (!) (together with the message on the display) come on this indicates a fault in the EBD system (see section "Warning lights and messages").
In this case with sharp braking the rear wheels might lock too early, with the possibility of skidding. Drive extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance) (where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, recognizes emergency braking (on the ground of the brake pedal operation speed) and considerably increases the pressure in the braking circuit.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP system failure (indicated by warning light Ⓐ) switching on together with the message on the display).
ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability Program) (where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system controlling the car stability in the event of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when grip conditions of the road surfaces changes.
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.
The ESP system is automatically activated when the car is started and cannot be de-activated.
WARNING
Performance of the ESP system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road safety is always the driver's responsibility.
ESP SYSTEM INITIALISATION (after disconnecting the battery)
After reconnecting the battery, to restore regular operation of the ESP system, proceed as follows:
□ turn the ignition key to MAR;
□ turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn both clockwise and counterclockwise (to pass through position “straight wheels”);
□ turn the ignition key to STOP and then back to MAR.
A few seconds later the warning light will turn off; if it stays on contact Fiat Dealership.
These operations can also be performed with the engine on.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is automatically disconnected and the warning light Ⓐ will turn on glowing steadily on the instrument panel, together with the message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages"). In this case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
During the use of the space-saver spare wheel, the ESP system carries on working. However, you must remind that the space-saver spare wheel has dimensions smaller than the standard tyre and therefore its grip is reduced as to the other car tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ESP system, the tyres must 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 Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESP system, it 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 the slipping involves both the 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).
Switching on/off of the ASR system
The ASR system switches on automatically each time the engine is started.
Switching on/off is indicated by the relevant message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").
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.
F0C0066m
When travelling ASR can be switched off and on again pressing switch A-fig. 123 on the central console.
When the ASR is switched off this is shown by the lighting up of the led on the switch and by the relevant message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").
If the ASR is switched off when travelling, it will turn on again automatically the next time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the driving wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better drive.
Failure indications
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR system is automatically disconnected and the warning light Ⓐ will come on with fixed light on the instrument panel together with the message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”). In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
When using the spare wheel, the ASR system is excluded
and the warning light (△) on the instrument panel turns on glowing steadily together with the message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
WARNING
For correct operation of the ASR system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand and size specified.
MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
The car is fitted with a special system, integral with 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.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of the components of the car correlated with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the warning light ☐ on the instrument panel (together with the message on the display) (see section “Warning lights and messages”), when these components are no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
☐ to keep the system efficiency under control;
□ warn when a fault causes emissions levels to increase;
□ 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 inconvenience, 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.
If turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light does not turn on or if, while travelling it turns on glowing steadily or flashing (together with the message on the display), contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. Warning light operation can be checked by means of special equipment by traffic agents. Always comply with the traffic regulations in force in the country where you are travelling.
SOUND SYSTEM (where provided)
The Fiat Stilo sound system is of the fixed type: the instructions for use are given in the attached Supplement.
ACTUAL versions are provided with pre-setting for sound system with aerial, wiring and speakers.
To install the sound system, loosen screw A-fig. 124 and remove the oddment compartment, install the compartment provided with the sound system and the power cables for the electric connection.
IMPORTANT To guarantee proper sound and mechanical properties (e.g. water tightness and door soundproofing) at Lineaccessori Fiat is available a kit including an aerial adapter that improves AM frequency reception through the amplifier on the aerial support.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electric supply (alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electric supply, contact Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides suggesting the most suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car's electric system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
WARNING
Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy rims and
non-standard wheel caps: they might reduce ventilation of the brakes, thus their efficiency, during abrupt and repeated braking, or long downhill slopes. Make sure that nothing (mats, etc.) gets in the way of the pedals when they are pushed down.
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the car or in aftermarket shall bear the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized shop, work-manlike performed and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Installation of devices resulting in modifications of car characteristics may cause driving license seizing by traffic agents and also the lapse of the warranty as concerns defects due to the abovementioned modification or traceable back to it directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damages caused by the installation of non-genuine accessories or not recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed not in compliance with the specified requirements.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Mobile phones and other radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: HAM radio systems and the like) shall not be used inside the car unless a separate aerial is mounted.
IMPORTANT The use of mobile phones, HAM radio systems or other similar devices inside the passenger compartment (without separate aerial) may cause electronic systems equipping the car to malfunction. This could compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns the use of mobile phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS) with homologation, keep strictly to the mobile phone manufacturer's specifications.
"DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically controlled power steering system called “Dualdrive” working only with ignition key at MAR and engine running, that can be customised by the driver according to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the ignition key, power steering full operation is obtained after 1-2 seconds.
fig. 125
FOC0065m
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION (CITY function)
To connect/disconnect the CITY function, push the button A-fig. 125 located on the central tunnel on the side of the gearbox control lever.
Connection of this function is reported by the word CITY on the “Multifunction display”.
When the CITY function is on the steering wheel effort is lighter and thus parking operations are easier: therefore this function is particularly useful for driving in city centres.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by warning light coming on (together with the message on the display) (see section "Warning lights and messages").
In the event of electric power steering system failure, the car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT Under certain circumstances, factors independent from the electric power steering could cause the illumination of the warning light ☑ on the instrument panel. We suggest to stop immediately the car, turn off the engine for about 20 seconds and then re-start the car. If the warning light ☑ stays on (together with the message on the display), contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres including a great deal of steering. This is normal and caused by a system to prevent motor overheating. No servicing is required. The electrical power steering system will return to normal operation the next time the car is used.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that could badly affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of warranty and also result in non-compliance of the car with homologation requirements.
WARNING
Always switch the engine off, remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steering lock before carrying out any maintenance operation, especially when the wheels are raised from the ground. In case this is not possible (e.g. when the key must be in MAR position or the engine running), remove the electric power steering main fuse before carrying out any maintenance operation.
PARKING SENSORS (where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 126 (saloon versions) and fig. 127 (Multi Wagon versions) and their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
Sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind the car decreases, the acoustic alarm becomes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
□ becomes louder as the reduction of distance between the car and the obstacle decreases;
□ becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the obstacle is less that 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance raises.

F0C0364m
☐ is constant if the distance is unvaried. If this situation takes place for side sensors, the signal is stopped after about 3 seconds to prevent sound indications when performing manoeuvres near walls.
Detection distances
Central action radius ....150 cm
Side action radius 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of sensor failures, when engaging the reverse gear the driver is warned by the turning on of warning light △ on the instrument panel and by the relevant message on the display (see section "Warning lights and messages").
Parking sensor operation is deactivated automatically when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing the trailer cable plug.
For proper operation, the parking sensors set on the bumpers shall be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if required. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are always under the driver's responsibility that shall always check the absence of people (specially children) or animals in the manoeuvre space. This system is just a help for the driver but she/he shall never reduce attention during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed.
GENERAL WARNINGS
☐ When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles set above or under the sensors.
☐ Objects set close to the car front or rear part, under certain circumstances are not detected and could therefore cause damages to the car.
☐ Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ultrasound systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic hammers) set nearby the car.
AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump filler. Use petrol with a rated octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small amount or in an emergency, as this would damage the catalyst beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the formation of paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel filter.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type arctic type (mountains/cold areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for the current temperature, mix diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions stated on the can, putting first the antifreeze in the tank and then the diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is used/parked in the mountains or in cold areas for a long period. In this event you are recommended to keep an amount of fuel higher than 50% in the tank.
The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European Specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with another type of fuel, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has been run even for only a very short time, in addition to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two refuelling operations after the first click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations that could cause damages to the fuel system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 128
The fuel filler cap A is fitted with an antiloss device B which fastens it to the lid C so it cannot be mislaid.
To slacken the cap, turn it counterclockwise and remove it.
The cap A is fitted with key-lock: open the lid C then, turn the ignition key in the lock and open the cap.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the device inside the lid as shown in the figure.
IMPORTANT The sealing of the tank may cause light pressurising in the tank. A little breathing off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely normal.
After refuelling, turn the cap clockwise until it clicks, then turn the key clockwise, remove it and close the flap.
WARNING
Do not put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:
□ three-way catalytic converter;
□ Lambda sensors;
☐ fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:
□ oxidising catalytic converter;
□ exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
□ Lambda sensors;
□ diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where provided it is fitted instead of the Lambda sensor).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) (where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps particulates present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
The diesel particular filter has been adopted to eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future law regulations.
During normal use of the car, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles. Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the conditions of use of the car. During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be considered as faults and they do not affect car performance and environment.
Diesel Particulate Filter clogged
If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to section "Warning lights and messages".
WARNING
During normal service the catalyst and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not therefore park the car over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the tongue A-fig. I and insert it into the buckle B, until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.
fig. 1
When the car is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may block; this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing coming out when it is jerked or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or when cornering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat belts with three anchor points and reel for the side and centre seats.

Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in fig. 2
WARNING
Never press button C-fig. I when travelling.
fig. 3
F0C0433m
When reclining the rear seat backs, to put the seat buckles back properly, use the suitable housings A-fig. 3 obtained in the cushion.
Take out buckles from their housings (versions with rear sliding seat) when resetting the seat in straight position, to have them ready for use.
fig. 4
IMPORTANT When the seat back is coupled properly, the "red band" B-fig. 4 present aside lever A disappears. The "red band" actually indicates improper seat back coupling. As concerns versions fitted with sliding seat, always check that the back is locked in proper position; these versions are fitted with reclining seat: when resetting it in proper position, make sure to hear the locking click.
IMPORTANT Remember that in the event of a violent collision, back seat passengers not wearing seat belts also represent a serious danger for the front seat passengers.
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back to their travelling position, restore the seat belt position to make them ready for use.
WARNING
Make sure the seat back is correctly hooked on both sides ("red bands" B-fig. 4 not visible) to prevent seat back being thrown forwards and injuring passengers should you brake sharply.
S.B.R. SYSTEM
The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system (Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a buzzer which, together with the blinking of warning light on the instrument panel, warns the driver to fasten the seat belt.
The buzzer can be deactivated temporarily (until next engine stop) by the following procedure, to be carried out within 1 minute from turning the ignition key to MAR:
□ fasten the driver's seat belt.
□ wait for over 20 seconds and then release the driver's seat belt.
For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat Dealership.
The S.B.R. system can only be reset through the set-up menu (see section "Warning lights and messages" at paragraph "Seat belts not fastened").
fig. 5
FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Four different adjustments in height are provided.
To adjust, press button A-fig. 5 and lower or raise the grip B.
Always adjust the height of the seat belt to fit the person wearing it. This precaution could greatly reduce the risk of injury in case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the belt passes half way between the end of the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
Make the height adjustment when the car is stationary.
WARNING
After adjustment, always check that the slider is anchored in one of the positions provided. To do this, with the button A-fig. 5 released, exert a further pressure to allow the anchor device to catch if release did not take place at one of the preset position.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front and rear (where provided) seat belts, the car is fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event of violent front crash, rewind the seat belts a few centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining action begins. The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has intervened; 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.
Front seat pretensioners activate only if front seat belts are properly fitted into buckles. 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, seas storm, etc.) the device has been affected by water and mud, it must necessarily be replaced.
WARNING
The pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it, have it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the label inside the lower oddment compartment. Pretensioners should be replaced at Fiat Dealership as this date approaches.
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6 hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger's safety, the front and rear (where provided) seat belt reels contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force acting on the shoulders during the belt restraining action in case of front crash.
natural_image
Line drawing of two seated individuals in a seat, viewed from the side (no text or symbols)GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have the car occupants follow) all the local legal regulations concerning the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt. Of course they must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes under the abdomen (as illustrated in fig. 6).
natural_image
Line drawing of two individuals seated in car seat positions, viewed from the side (no text or symbols)IMPORTANT The belt should not be twisted. The upper part should pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part should adhere to the pelvis (as shown in fig. 7) and not the abdomen of the passenger. Do not use any objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.) to keep the belts away from the body.
WARNING
For maximum safety, keep the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest and hips. Make sure that the seat belts of the front and rear passengers are fastened at all times! You increase the risk of serious injury or death in a collision if you travel with the belts unfastened.
IMPORTANT Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger's lap with a single belt to protect them both fig. 8. Do not fasten other objects to the body.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the components of the
seat belts and pretensioners be tam- pered with or removed. Any operation should be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel. Always contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to heavy stress, for ex-
ample 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.
HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS
Observe the following:
□ always use the belt with the tap taut and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments;
□ after a serious accident, replace the belt being worn at that time, even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the seat belts if pretensioners have been activated;
☐ to clean the belts, wash by hand with neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach or dyes or other chemical substance that might weaken the fibres;
☐ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside;
□ replace the seat belt when showing significant wear or cut signs.
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a crash, all passengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, their head is proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while the muscles and bone structure are not completely developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary, other than adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child restraint systems are contained in the European Standard EEC-R44. This Standard enforces the use of restraint systems classified in five groups:
Group 0 0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weight
As it may be noted, the groups overlap partly and in fact, in commerce it is possible to find devices that cover more than one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the certification data, together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed label which must absolutely never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems, children are considered as adults and wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each weight group, which are the recommended choice, as they have been designed and experimented specifically for Fiat cars.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: Never place cradle child's seats facing backwards on the front passenger seat of cars fitted with passenger's air bag since
the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal. You are advised to carry children always on the rear seat, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash. In any case, children's seats must absolutely not be fitted on the front seat of cars with passenger's air bag, which during inflation could cause serious injury, even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it. Children may be placed on the front seat of cars fitted with passenger's air bag deactivation. In this case, it is absolutely necessary to check the warning light ☐ on the instrument panel, to make sure that deactivation has actually taken place (see paragraph "Front passenger air bag" at paragraph "Front air bags"). The front passenger seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between child's seat and dashboard.

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 9 and in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.
natural_image
Illustration of a baby sitting in a car seat with a bandage, no text or symbols presentGROUP I
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing forwards, with seat fitted with front cushion, through which the car seat belt restrains both child and seat fig. 10.
WARNING
The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to the instructions for fastening which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining system you are using.
WARNING
Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with a rear connection to the car belts and their own belts to restrain the child. Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the car belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided with the seat.
GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, children may be restrained directly by the car belts fig. 11. The only function of the seat is to position the child correctly in relation to the belts, so that the diagonal part adheres to the chest and not to the neck and that the horizontal part clings to the child's pelvis and not the abdomen.
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. 12 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear seat.
Children taller than 1.50 m can wear seat belts like adults.
WARNING
Figures are only an example for mounting. Attain to the ons for fastening which must used with the specific child re-g system you are using.
PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON CHILD'S SEAT USE
Your car complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC regulating child's seat assembling on the different car seats according to the following tables:
3/5-door version, double rear seat

Key:
U = suitable for child restraint systems of the "Universal" category, according to European Standard EEC-R44 for the specified "Groups". L = suitable for certain child's restraint systems available at Lineaccessori Fiat for the specified group.
Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be followed for carrying children:
☐ The recommended position for installing children's seat is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected in the case of a crash.
If the passenger's air bag is deactivated always check the warning light 📋 on the instrument panel to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
☐ Attain to the instructions for fastening the specific child restraint system which you are using. These instructions must be provided by the manufacturer. Keep the child restraint system installation instructions with the car documents and this Handbook. Never use a child restraint system without installation instructions.
□ Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling the webbing.
☐ 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.
☐ Passengers should never carry children on their laps. No-one, however strong they are, can hold a child in the event of a crash.
☐ In case of an accident, replace the seat with a new one.
WARNING
Never place cradle child's seats facing backwards on
the front passenger seat of cars fitted with passenger air bag since the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal. You are advised to carry children always on the rear seat, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.
PRESETTING FOR MOUNTING THE "ISOFIX TYPE" CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the Isofix type child restraint system, a new European standardised system for carrying children safely. Isofix child restraint system is an additional option that does not prevent from using traditional child restraint systems. Isofix type child restraint system covers three groups: 0, 0+ and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the Isofix type child restraint system shall be anchored to the proper metal rings set between rear seat back and cushion A-fig. 13 or in the rear seat cover B-fig. 14 (according to versions).
It is possible to mount both the traditional restraint system and the Isofix type one, one on the left and the other on the right, for example.
Since sizes are different, on the rear seats it is possible to install max. two Isofix type seats using the proper couplings or max. three traditional child's seats using the seat belts. On the front passenger seat it is possible to mount only traditional child's seats.

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE SEAT
Groups 0 and 0+
For children of the 0, 0+ weight group (babies up to 13 kg), the child's seat is facing backwards and the child is restrained by the child's seat belts D-fig. 15.
As the child grows, passing to weight group I (9-18 kg) refit it facing forwards following the instructions provided with the child restraint system.
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
☐ move the rear sliding seat fully backwards with the seat back at 4^th position, as shown in fig. 16.
☐ check whether the release lever B-
fig. 15 is at rest position (inward);
☐ find the presetting brackets A, then position the child restraint system with the fastening devices C aligned with the brackets;
☐ push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
□ check proper locking by moving the child's seat with force: the built-in safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one coupling locked.
WARNING
In case of rear fixed seat and if the Isofix type restraint system is set facing backwards, the passenger's seat will have to be pulled back until it touches the seat restraint system back. In case of rear sliding seat, move the front seat forward to a position from half its stroke forth.
fig. 17
fig. 18
Group I
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
☐ move the rear sliding seat fully backwards with the seat back at 4^th position, as shown in fig. 16;
□ check whether the release lever B-
fig. 17 is at rest position (inward);
☐ find the presetting brackets A, then position the child restraint system with the fastening devices C aligned with the brackets;
☐ push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
☐ for seats positioned facing the running direction, hook the upper belt D-fig. 18 (in the upper seat pocket) to the ring E in the boot;
☐ Check proper locking by moving the child's seat with force: the built-in safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one coupling locked.
With this configuration, the child is secured also by the car seat belts and by the upper belts. To apply car seat belts to child's seat refer to the child's seat handbook.
WARNING
In case of rear sliding seat, move the front seat forward
to a position from half its stroke forth.
PRESETTING FOR MOUNTING THE "UNIVERSAL ISOFIX" CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the "Universal Isofix" child restraint system, a new European standardised system for carrying children safely.
The "Universal Isofix" child's seat covers weight group: 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the Universal Isofix child's seat shall be anchored to the proper lower metal rings A-fig. 19, set between rear seat back and cushion. The upper belt D-fig. 20 (provided with the child's seat) shall be then secured to ring E set in the boot at child's seat height.
It is possible to mount at the same time both the traditional restraint system and the "Universal Isofix" one.

IL = suitable for Isofix type child restraint systems, specific and approved for this type of car: Kiddy Isofix seat available at Lineaccessori Fiat. The child's seat can be installed by moving forward the front seat.
FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front multistage air bags ("Smart bag") for driver and passenger, front side bags (where provided), rear side bags (where provided) and window bags (where provided).
"SMART BAG" SYSTEM (FRONT MULTISTAGE AIR BAGS)
The front air bag (driver and passenger) has been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect car's occupants in front crashes and therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, rollovers, etc.) is not a system malfunction. In case of front crash, an electronic control unit, when required, triggers the inflation of the cushion according to the severity of the collision.
The cushion immediately inflates, placing itself as a protection between the body of the front occupants and the structure that could cause injuries. Immediately after, the cushion deflates.
The front air bag (driver and passenger) is not a replacement of but complementary to the use of belts, which should always be worn, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the seat belt moves forward and may come into contact with the cushion while it is still inflating. Under this circumstance the protection offered by the air bag is reduced. Front air bag may not be activated in the following situations:
☐ in collisions against highly deformable objects not affecting the car front surface (e.g. bumper collision against guard rail);
□ car wedging under other vehicles or protective barriers (for example under a truck or guard rail);
as it offers no additional protection compared with the seat belts, consequently, it would be pointless. Therefore, failure to come into action in the above circumstances does not mean that the system is not working properly.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering
wheel or to the air bag cover on the passenger's side or on the side roof lining. Do not put objects on the dashboard on passenger side (e.g. mobile phones) since they could interfere with proper passenger air bag inflation and cause injuries to the car's passengers.

PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG
fig. 22
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained into a special recess in the dashboard, this cushion has a volume bigger than that of the driver.
The driver's and passenger's front air bags have been designed and calibrated to improve the protection of a person wearing seat belts.
At their maximum inflation, their volume fills most of the space between the dashboard and the passenger.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: With passenger's air bag active, never place child's seats with the cradle facing backwards since the air bag activation
could cause to the child serious injuries, even mortal. In the case of need, always deactivate the passenger's air bag when a child's seat is placed on the front seat. The front passenger's seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between child's seat and dashboard. Even if not compulsory by law, you are recommended to reactivate the air bag immediately as soon as child transport is no longer necessary.
MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the front seat, the passenger's front air bag can be deactivated.
Deactivation/reactivation takes place with ignition key at STOP, and operating it in the special key switch on the right-hand side of the dashboard. You can reach the switch only if the door is opened.
When the door is open, the key can be inserted and removed in both positions.
IMPORTANT Operate the switch only when the engine is not running and the ignition key is removed.
fig. 23
The key-operated switch has two positions fig. 23:
□ Passenger's front air bag activated (ON position Ⓧ): warning light 📁 on instrument panel off; it is absolutely prohibited to carry a child on the front seat.
☐ Passenger's front air bag deactivated (OFF position 📋): warning light 📋 on instrument panel on; it is possible to carry a child protected by special restraint system on the front seat.
The warning light 🖼 on the instrument panel stays on permanently until the passenger's air bag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger's front air bag does not inhibit operation of the side bag.
FRONT PASSENGER CLASSIFICATION SENSOR (OCS = Occupant Classification System) (where provided)
The front passenger air bag is equipped with a sensor, located inside the passenger seat between the padding and the external cover of the seat, able to recognize the presence of the occupant and classify his/her weight.
This allows ensuring the best protection under any circumstance, modulating the inflation pressure of the front passenger air bag as a function of the occupant weight.
If an adult sits on the front passenger seat, the relevant front air bag is ready to intervene in case of need. If the passenger seat is free, the air bag will not intervene.
IMPORTANT To receive the best system protection in the event of an accident, you have to seat in proper position.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: The front passenger classification sensor is not studied for the recognition of the children restraints and for the consequent automatic deactivation of the passenger air bag. If you carry a children restraint on the front passenger seat, it is however necessary to deactivate the front passenger air bag through the proper deactivation switch (see previous paragraph).
WARNING
Do not arrange heavy objects on the front passenger seat, because in the event of accident, the front passenger air bag intervenes if it is not deactivated through the proper deactivation switch (see previous paragraph).
WARNING
The front passenger classification sensor could not detect or correctly classify the occupant presence because of the interposition of cushions or sanitary aids (cushions, rubber rings, etc.), that therefore should not be used on the front passenger seat.
WARNING
Never place cutting or sharp objects on the front passenger seat to prevent damaging the front passenger classification sensor. Contact a Fiat Dealership in case of sensor damages.
SIDE AIR BAGS (Side bag - Window bag)
SIDE BAG (where provided)
They are composed by two types of instant inflation cushions and are housed in the back rests of the front seats fig. 24 and in the side stuffing of the rear seats (where provided) fig. 25. The task of the side air bags is to increase protection of the occupants' chest in the event of a side crash of medium-high severity.
WINDOW BAG (where provided) fig. 26
They consist of two "curtain" cushions located behind the side coverings of the roof and covered by proper finishings; this solution, studied for the head protection, allows offering the best protection to the front and rear occupants in the event of side crash, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
In minor side crashes (for which the restraining action of the seat belts is sufficient), the air bags are not deployed.
Also in this case it is of vital importance to wear the seat belts since in case of side crash they guarantee proper positioning of the occupant and prevent the occupants to be pitched out of the car in case of violent crashes.
Therefore the front and rear side bags (where provided) are not a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which you are recommended to always wear, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash, you can obtain the best protection by the system keeping a correct position on the seat, allowing thus a correct window bag unfolding.
IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or front and rear side bags (if fitted) may be deployed if the car is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the underbody area, such as for example violent shocks, against steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the car in big holes or sags in the road.
IMPORTANT When the airbag inflates it emits a small amount of dusts. These dusts are harmless and is not the beginning of a fire; then the unfold cushion surface and the car interiors can be covered by a dusty remains: this dust can irritate skin and eyes. In case of contact, wash yourself using neutral soap and water.
WARNING
Life and validity of pyrotechnic charge and coil contact
are indicated on the label inside the lower oddment compartment. As this date approaches, contact Fiat Dealership to have them replaced.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat Dealership to have the devices activated replaced and to have the system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement operations concerning the air bags must only be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped, have the air bag system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the car changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of the method of use of air bags and the above warnings and also be given this "Owner Handbook".
IMPORTANT The triggering of pretensioners, front air bags and side bags (front and rear) is decided in a differentiated manner by the electronic control unit, depending on the type of crash. The failure to deploy one or more of them does not mean that the system is not working properly
WARNING
Never rest head, arms and elbows on the door, on the windows and in the window bag area to prevent possible injuries during inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean head, arms and elbows out of the window.
MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF REAR SIDE BAGS
(where provided)
Certain versions are fitted with rear side bags (that can be deactivated) to protect the chest of rear passengers.
For deactivation: operate the key switch (with ignition key) located in the boot under the rear shelves as shown in the figure. The switch can be reached only with tailgate open.
IMPORTANT Operate the switch only when the engine is stopped and the ignition key is removed.
fig. 27
FOC0154m
The key-operated switch has two positions fig. 27:
□ side air bag activated (ON position Ⓧ): warning light 🎨 on instrument panel off; it is absolutely prohibited to carry a child on the rear seats;
□ side air bag deactivated (OFF position ^★ ): warning light ^★ on instrument panel on; it is possible to transport children protected by proper restraints on the front seat.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: In presence of small size occupants (children, etc.) on the rear seats, it is necessary to deactivate the rear side bags
through the apposite deactivation switch located in the boot.
GENERAL WARNINGS
WARNING
If when turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light does not turn on or if it stays on when travelling (together with the message on the display) there could be a failure in safety systems; in this event air bags or pretensioners could not trigger in case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they could trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of front and rear seats with covers that are not suitable ed with side bags.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on your lap, in front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. between your lips; injury may result in the event of the air bag being triggered.
WARNING
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel rim when driving, so that if the air bag is triggered, it can inflate without meeting any obstacles which could cause serious harm to you. Do not drive with the body bent forwards, keep the seat back rest in the erect position and lean your back well against it.
WARNING
If the car has been stolen or an attempt to steal it has been made, if it has been subjected to vandals or floods, have the air bag system checked by Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remember that with the key engaged and at MAR, even with the engine not running, the air bags may be triggered on a stationary car if it is bumped by another moving car. Therefore, never seat children on the front seat even when the car is stationary. On the other hand, remember that with the key at STOP no safety system (air bags or pretensioners) is triggered in the event of an impact; in this case, failure to come into action cannot be considered as a sign that the system is not working properly.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light 🖼️ (with passenger's front air bag deactivation switch at ON) turns on and flashes for few seconds to remind that the passenger's air bag will be deployed in a crash, after which it should go off.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light (with the rear side bag deactivation switch at ON) turns on and flashes for few seconds to remind that the rear side bags will be deployed in a crash, after which it should go off.
WARNING
Do not wash the seat back rest with pressurised water or steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing stations).
WARNING
The front air bag is triggered for shocks greater in magnitude than the pretensioners. For impacts between these two thresholds, it is therefore normal that only the pretensioners are triggered.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to the coat hooks and to the support handles.
WARNING
The air bag does not substitute the seat belts, but only increases their effectiveness. Moreover, since the front air bags do not come into operation in the event of front impact at low speed, side collisions, bumps from behind or overturning, in these circumstances the occupants would only be protected by the seat belts which must therefore always be fastened.

CAR INACTIVITY 156
ENGINE STARTING
The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph "The Fiat CODE system" in section "Dashboard and controls".
The engine may be noisier than usual during the first seconds of operation, especially after it has not been used for a while. This characteristic feature of the hydraulic tappet system does not compromise functionality or reliability. This timing system for petrol engines was adopted to limit servicing.
Engine starting is guaranteed up to a minimum temperature of -18^ (Italy and Middle Europe) and -20^ (North Europe).
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
□ pull up the handbrake;
□ set the gear lever to neutral;
☐ press the clutch pedal down to the floor 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, when the ignition key is at MAR, 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 car.
We recommend that during the initial period you do not drive to full car performance (e.g.: excessive acceleration, long journeys at top speed, sharp braking, etc.).
WARNING
Running the engine in confined areas is extremely dangerous. The engine consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
When the engine is switched off never leave the ignition key at MAR to prevent pointless current absorption from draining the battery.
If you are still unable to start the engine, perform the emergency start-up procedure (see "Emergency start-up" in section "In an emergency") and contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR when the engine is off.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
□ pull up the handbrake;
□ set the gear lever to neutral;
□ turn the ignition key to MAR. The warning lights 00 and 📋 on the instrument panel will turn on;
□ wait for the warning lights 📋 and 00 to turn off. The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
☐ press the clutch pedal down to the floor without touching the accelerator;
□ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light 00 turns off. If you wait too long you will lose the benefit of the work done by the glow plugs. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator pedal shall be completely released while turning the ignition key to AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light ☑ on the instrument panel stays 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 car.
If you still cannot start the engine, contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR when the engine is off.
The warning light 00 will flash for 60 seconds at start-up or during prolonged cranking to signal a fault in the glow
plug heating system. You can use the car as usual if the engine starts but you should contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED (petrol and diesel engines)
Proceed as follows:
Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
☐Do not drive at full performance for the initial kilometres. Wait until the coolant temperature gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light stays on with fixed light, contact Fiat Dealership.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the engine to "catch its breath" before turning it off by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment to fall.
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill as this could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
WARNING
Remember that the servo-brake and power steering
are not operational until the engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake pedal and steering wheel.
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.
PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
☐ Stop the engine and engage the hand-brake;
☐ Engage a gear (first if the car is faced up-hill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope. Do not leave the ignition key at MAR to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the car.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the car cannot be moved.
Four or five clicks are generally enough when the car is on level ground while nine or ten may be required if the car is on a steep slope or laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.
In cars fitted with front armrest, lift the latter so that it does not hinder the hand-brake engaging procedure.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the car. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the car and take it out with you.
F0C0059m
When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel warning light (①) will turn on.
To release the handbrake:
☐ slightly lift the handbrake and press release button A-fig. I;
☐ keep button A pressed and lower the lever. Warning light (!) will turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation to prevent the car from moving accidentally.
USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift the gear lever into one of the required positions (the diagram is shown on the knob fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4).
To engage 6^th gear (version 1.416V and 1.9 Multijet16V) press the lever to the right to prevent engaging 4^th gear by mistake. A similar action is required to shift down from 6^th to 5^th .
IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear when it has stopped moving completely. With the engine running, before engaging the reverse, wait at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully down to prevent damage and grating of the gears.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift the sliding ring A-fig. 2 or B-fig. 3 under the knob and shift the lever to the right and back (1.416V, 2.416V, 1.616V and Multijet versions).
For versions 1.816V just shift lever C-fig. 4 to the right and back.
fig. 2
FOC0060m
WARNING
To change gears properly you must push the clutch pedal fully down. It is therefore essential that there is nothing under the pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and do not get in the way of the pedals.
fig. 3
F0C0602m
fig. 4
F0C0310m
Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as the force exerted, even if slight, could lead over time to pre-wear on the gearbox internalents.
USING THE "SELESPEED" GEARBOX (where provided)
The car may be fitted with a mechanical transmission with electronic control called "Selespeed". This device includes a conventional mechanical gearbox to which an electronically-operated electro-hydraulic device has been added which controls automatically the clutch and gear engagement.
The car moves off using only the accelerator pedal.
To be able to use the Selespeed correctly, this chapter should be read in full.
fig. 5
F0C0105m
OPERATION
The gearbox can work in two operating modes:
☐ the first mode is manual (MANUAL), the driver directly requests gearshifting;
☐ the second mode is automatic (AUTO), the system directly decides when shifting gear.
On versions fitted with Cruise Control, when activating it, the Selespeed gearbox will automatically set in AUTO mode. To select the manual mode deactivate the Cruise Control (see paragraph "Cruise Control" in section "Dashboard and controls").
fig. 6
FOC0111m
Manual mode (MANUAL)
In MANUAL mode, the display shows the gear engaged.
The requests to change gear may take place through:
□ the gear lever A-fig. 5 on the central console;
□ the steering wheel controls fig. 6, which can be operated only when the car speed exceeds 5 km/h.
It is not necessary to release the accelerator pedal when shifting gears.
Neutral (N) is accepted until the car speed exceeds 40 km/h. The reverse gear engagement (R) is accepted only if the car is stationary.
fig. 7
In the manual operating mode there are certain automatic/security devices which simplify driving:
Such operating mode is set when, with AUTO mode selected, the button AUTO fig. 7 is pressed again, thereby excluding the previously selected mode.
When downshifting, the engine is accelerated automatically to bring it to the speed necessary with the new gear ratio.
With the accelerator pedal pressed and gradual engine speed increase, gearshifting becomes quicker.
☐ when slowing down the clutch is opened and the transmission ratio is automatically reduced to be ready for picking up again; otherwise, when the car is stopped, the gearbox will automatically be in first gear (1);
☐ requests to change gear that would take the engine to exceed the maximum speed or below minimum speed are not accepted;
☐ nif the engine reaches the maximum permissible speed and accelerating continues (without the cutting in of the ASR or ESP system), the system automatically engages a higher gear; ASR or ESP system activation at max speed, gearshifting is inhibited;
☐ if jamming occurs during gear engagement, the system firstly tries to engage the gear required again and, if it is still not possible, it automatically engages the immediately higher one to avoid leaving the car in neutral (N).
IMPORTANT It is advisable to wait for the end of a gear shifting operation before requesting another one, to avoid multiple requests in rapid succession.
Automatic mode (AUTO)
This operating mode is selected by pressing button AUTO, on the central console.
In the AUTO operating mode, AUTO is displayed followed by the indication of the gear selected.
Releasing the accelerator pedal quickly, the system does not engage a higher gear in order to maintain an adequate level of engine brake.
The indication on the display of the gear selected, can be as follows:
N = neutral;
I = first gear;
2 = second gear;
3 = third gear;
4 = fourth gear;
5 = fifth gear;
R = reverse;
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to MAR, after about one second, the display shows the gear engaged (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R): from this moment onwards, the Selespeed system accepts gearshift commands.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds the display does not show the gear engaged, turn the ignition key to STOP, and wait for the display to turn off, then repeat system switch on. If the fault persists, contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the driver's door is opened the system starts the hydraulic part of the system to prepare it for when the engine is started.
MOVING-OFF
With the engine on and the car stationary, the gears that can be engaged for moving off are only first (1), second (2) and/or reverse (R).
To engage them it is possible, keeping the brake pedal pressed, to use only the gearshift lever on the central console.
Moving off of the car is obtained releasing the brake pedal and gradually pressing the accelerator pedal.
With the ASR system off (pressing the ASR off button) moving off will be more "brilliant".
IMPORTANT Reverse gear (R) can be engaged from any of the following other gears: neutral (N), first (1) or second (2) only when the car is stationary.
WARNING
After a request to shift gear with the car stationary, before pressing the accelerator pedal to make the car move, the driver must always check the display to see that the gear engaged is the one required.
IMPORTANT If when shifting from reverse (R) / first (I) or neutral (N) / first (I) sticking occurs on the first gear, the system automatically engages second gear (2). This is not to be considered as a fault as it is part of the operating logic. For the same reason, in the case of sticking on reverse gear, the system partially closes the clutch to allow gear engagement; in this case the engagement of reverse gear (R) will not be as smooth as usual.
IMPORTANT NOTES
□ With the car stopped and a gear engaged always keep the brake pedal pressed until deciding to move off;
□ during prolonged halts with the engine running it is advisable to keep the gearbox in neutral;
☐ when the car is parked facing uphill, do not use the moving off manoeuvre to keep the car still; use the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal only when the deciding to move off;
☐ use second gear (2) only when more control is needed for moving off manoeuvres at low speed;
☐ if, in reverse gear, first (1) gear is engaged or vice versa, shift gear only when the car is stopped completely and with the brake pedal pressed.
fig. 8
F0C00105m
Though highly inadvisable, if when travelling downhill for some unexpected reason the car is set to neutral (N), when the engagement of a gear is requested, the system automatically engages the best gear in relation to the speed of the car to allow the correct transmission of torque to the wheels.
When travelling downhill with a gear engaged and the accelerator released (if the car is moving), beyond a pre-established speed, the system engages the clutch automatically to give the car adequate engine braking.

GEARSHIFTING
Through lever
Gearshifting takes place through the control lever A-fig. 8, which is of the floating type with a "single central stable position". It is possible to request an increase/decrease of the gear ratio engaged and/or reverse gear engagement (R) or neutral (N).
To request gearshifting proceed as follows fig. 9:
□ shift upwards (+) push the lever forwards. If the system is in neutral (N) or in reverse (R) moving the lever forwards causes the engagement of first gear (I);
☐ to shift downwards (-) push the lever backwards.

IMPORTANT Before using the gearshift control lever, always check the gear engaged on the display (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R).
With the engine off and the car stationary it is possible to engage all the gears.
With the car stopped and the brake pedal pressed, requests to change gear are accepted only through the control lever on the centre console.
From any gear (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and with the car practically stationary, it is possible to request the engagement of reverse gear pushing the lever to the right and then backwards fig. 10. If the car is moving, the request is not accepted. Wait for the car to stop and then request gear engagement again.
IMPORTANT Once a gear has been changed it is necessary to immediately release the gearshift control lever after making the request. A manoeuvre prolonged (over 10 seconds) will cause the system to switch automatically to AUTO; everything stops releasing the gearshift lever.
IMPORTANT When parking the car on a sloping road and engaging a gear to keep it braked, always check that the display shows the new gear engaged and wait for one or two seconds before releasing the brake pedal to allow complete engagement of the clutch.
Through steering wheel controls
They are placed on the steering wheel spokes fig. 11 through which, only with the car on the move (with speed above 5 Km/h), it is possible to shift gear up or down.
If during operation in the automatic mode (AUTO) a request to change gear is made, this is performed without switching the operating mode.
To allow setting to neutral (N), (with the car stationary and brake pedal pressed), move the gearshift lever to the right fig. 12.
ENGINE STARTING
The engine can be started either with a gear engaged or with the gearbox in neutral (N).
After starting, the gearbox sets to neutral automatically, the display shows the letter N and the system selects last operating mode (MANUAL or AUTO) before switching off.
IMPORTANT With gear engaged, fully depress the brake pedal to allow engine starting.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE AND SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to STOP the engine turns off.
The gear selected before switching off the engine remains engaged.
If the engine is stopped with the gearbox in neutral (N), letter N flashing on the display calls the driver's attention so that the car can be put in safety conditions engaging first gear (I) or reverse (R).
In this case, the ignition key should be turned to MAR and, with the brake pedal pressed, engage first gear (1) or reverse (R).
WARNING
If the engine fails to start with the gear engaged, the informed of the potentially us situation (due to the fact gearbox is in neutral) by the
WARNING
NEVER leave the car with the gear in neutral (N).
IMPORTANT If the engine is stopped with the AUTO mode engaged, this will be stored by the system. Indeed, the next time the engine is started, this condition will still be active.
IMPORTANT Should the engine go off with the car on the move, the next time it is started the warning light may come on. In this case check that the warning light goes off turning the engine off and on again with the car stationary. If not, contact Fiat Dealership.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Failures of the Selespeed gearbox are shown by warning light ☐ on the instrument panel, together with the relevant message (see section "Warning lights and messages").
In case of system failure:
□ a buzzer will sound;
☐ where provided, the AUTO mode will be engaged automatically to make it possible to reach the nearest Fiat Dealership and have the fault eliminated.
In the case of a fault, the system only allows the engagement of first gear (1), second gear (2) and reverse (R).
WARNING
Never remove the ignition key when the car is moving. In addition to the fact that the Selespeed system would not work properly up to stopping the car, the steering wheel would lock automatically the first time it is turned.
WARNING
It is absolutely necessary to turn off the engine and then turn off the Selespeed system keeping the brake pedal pressed: ONLY release the pedal when the display on the instrument panel has gone out.
WARNING
In the event of a gearbox fault (to any component), contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the system checked over.
BUZZER WARNINGS
The buzzer is activated when:
□ reverse gear is engaged (R);
☐ clutch overheating occurs when moving off (in this case it is necessary to "force" start-up without hesitation or, if the car is on a slope, release the accelerator and use the brake pedal to stop the car);
☐ an attempt is made to start the engine with a gear engaged and the brake pedal is not pressed completely;
Still for safety reasons, when the car is stationary, with engine started gear engaged, the system activates the buzzer and automatically shifts to neutral (N) when:
☐ no action is made on the accelerator and/or brake pedal for at least 3 minutes;
☐ the brake is pressed for over 10 minutes;
□ the driver's door is opened and no action is made on the accelerator and brake by at least 2 seconds;
☐ a gearbox failure has been detected.
STOPPING THE CAR
To stop the car, simply release the accelerator pedal and, if necessary press the brake pedal.
Regardless of the gear engaged and the operating mode activated (MANUAL or AUTO) the system automatically disengages the clutch and shifts to a lower gear.
Stopping the car the system automatically engages the first gear (1).
PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely necessary to engage first gear (I) or reverse (R) and also the handbrake if the car is on a slope.
When turning off the engine with the car on an uphill slope and a gear engaged, it is absolutely necessary to wait for the display showing the gear engaged to go off before releasing the brake pedal.
If the gearbox is in neutral (N) and wanting to engage a parking gear, the system should be activated and with the foot on the brake pedal it is necessary to engage first gear (I) or reverse (R).
TOWING THE CAR
See the instructions contained in paragraph "Towing the car" in section "In an emergency".
CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to keep the running costs of your car down and lower the amount of toxic emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the "Service schedule".
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage stowed in the boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving in town) and its trim greatly affects consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof as soon as they are no longer used. These accessories lower air penetration and adversely affect consumption levels. When needing to carry particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing the requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load which greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption (on average up to +20%). When the temperature outside the car permits it, use the air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill or at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing electrical consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic lights or before switching off the engine. This and also double declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and also increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low gear to obtain brilliant performance increases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases consumption, emissions an engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed. Avoid superfluous braking and accelerating, which cost in terms of both fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs will greatly affect consumption and emissions: acceleration should be gradual and should not exceed the maximum torque.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow the engine to reach optimum operating temperature. This results in a significant increase in consumption levels (from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and emission of harmful substances.
Traffic situations and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are tied to situations with heavy traffic, for example in queues with frequent use of the lower gears or in cities with many traffic lights. Also winding mountain roads and rough road surfaces adversely affect consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (traffic lights, level crossings) the engine should be switched off.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted with a certified tow hook and an adequate electric system. Installation should be carried out by specialised personnel who release a special document for circulation on the road.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and overtaking takes longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car tow hook reduces by the same amount the actual car loading capacity. To make sure the maximum towable weight is not exceeded (given in the log book) account should be taken of the fully laden trailer, including accessories and personal belongings.
Do not exceed the speed limits of the country you are driving in. In any case do not exceed 100 km/h.
INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to the body by specialised personnel according to any additional and/or integrative information supplied by the Manufacturer of the device.
WARNING
The ABS system with which the car may be fitted does not control the trailer braking system. Drive with extreme care on slippery roadbeds.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the car brake system be altered to control the trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be fully independent of the car hydraulic system.
The towing device must meet current regulations with reference to 94/20/EC Directive and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used must match the towable weight of the car on which it is to be installed.
IMPORTANT Supplementary electric loads other than external lights (e.g. electric brake, electric winch, etc.) shall be used with running engine.
Assembly diagram fig. 13-14
The tow hook structure must be fastened in the points shown by the symbol ⬆ using a total of 6 M10 screws.
Counterplates ① shall have a 4 mm min thickness.
Counterplates ② shall have a 6 mm min thickness.
The hook should be fastened to the body avoiding any type of drilling and trimming of the rear bumpers that remains visible when the hook is removed.
IMPORTANT It is compulsory to fasten a label (plainly visible) of suitable size and material with the following wording:
MAX LOAD ON BALL 60 kg
After fitting, screw holes shall be sealed to prevent exhaust gas inlet.
fig. 13 - Saloon versions
fig. 14 - Multi Wagon versions
SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres provided with the car.
Fiat Dealership will be glad to provide advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the instructions given in paragraph “Wheels” in section “Technical specifications”.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm. In this case, they should be replaced.
Due to the snow tyre features, under normal conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of these tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It is therefore necessary to limit their use to the purposes for which they are certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max speed index below the one that can be reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in the driver's view which states the max permissible speed of the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking and better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the direction of rotation of tyres.
WARNING
The max speed for snow tyres with "Q" marking is
160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with "T" marking and 210 km/h for tyres with H marking. The Road Traffic Code speed limits must however be always strictly observed.
SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied to the driving wheels (front wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few metres have been driven.
Use snow chains with reduced size: on tyres 195/65 R15" and 205/55 R16" use snow chains with reduced size with max protrusion beyond the tyre profile of 9 mm.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear.
This way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.
IMPORTANT Snow chains may not be used on tyres type 215/45 R17 87W since interference can be generated with the surrounding components.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do
not exceed 50 Km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered with snow to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the following precautions should be noted:
☐ park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ventilated premises;
□ engage a gear;
☐ check that the handbrake is not engaged;
☐ disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the negative terminal) and check the battery charge. This check is to be repeated every three months when the car is left inactive. Recharge if the optical indicator shows a dark colour without the central green area;
□ clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax;
☐ clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special compounds readily available.
□ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
□ slightly open the windows;
☐ cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
☐ inflate tyres to +0,5 bar above the normal specified pressure and check it at intervals;
□ if you don't disconnect the battery from the electric system, check its charge every month and recharge it if the optical indicator shows a dark colour without the central green area;
☐ do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off the electronic car alarm with the remote control.

ENGINE STARTING
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start the engine using an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows fig. 1:
☐ Connect positive terminals (+ near the terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
☐ With a second lead, connect the negative terminal (−) of the auxiliary battery and to an earthing point ↓ on the engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
□ Start the engine;
☐ When the engine has been started, remove the leads reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not insist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite the flammable gas from the battery. If the other battery is fitted in another car, prevent accidental contacts between the metal parts of the two cars.
Under no circumstances should a battery charger be used to start the engine: it could damage the electronic
systems and in particular the ignition and injection control units.
WARNING
Do not carry out this procedure if you lack experience;
if it is not done correctly it can cause very intense electrical discharges. In addition, the fluid contained in the battery is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. You are also advised not to put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the battery and not to cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing, towing, or coasting downhill) as this could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-brake and electrical 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
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-saver spare wheel call for some precautions as listed below.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with "Fix & Go (quick tyre repair kit)", see the relevant instructions in the following chapter.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations: hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on board should leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface, chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable devices to prevent the car from rolling.
WARNING
The space-saver spare wheel (where provided) is specific to your car, do not use it on other models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your car. The space-saver spare wheel shall only be used in an emergency. It shall only be used for the distance necessary to reach a service point and the car speed shall not exceed 80 Km/h. The spare wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the main cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be removed or covered. Never fit a wheel cap on a space-saver spare wheel. The sticker gives the following information in four languages: caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace by normal wheel as soon as possible. Do not cover this label.
WARNING
When driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of the car changes. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns or fast cornerings. The life of the spare wheel is approx. 3000 Km, after this distance it should be replaced with another of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver spare wheel. Have the punctured wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver spare wheels should never be used together. Do not grease the threads of bolts before installing them: they might slip out.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used for changing wheels on the car with which it is provided or on cars of the same model. It must not be used for other purposes such as for instance raising cars of other models. In no case should it be used for repairs under the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack for higher capacities than stated on its label. Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion. Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never place tools between the rim and tyre. Check and restore, if required, the pressure of tyres and spare wheel to the values given in section "Technical specifications".

WHEN NEEDING TO CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
☐ When a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this section;
☐ Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
☐ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same type and power;
□ Always check the height of the head-light beam after changing a bulb.
Halogen bulbs must be handled touching only the metallic part. If the transparent bulb is touched with the fingers, its lighting intensity is reduced and life of the bulb may be compromised. If touched accidentally, rub the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol and allow to dry.
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the electrical system (electronic control units) carried out incorrectly and without bearing the features of the system in mind can cause malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which, if broken, may cause small fragments of glass to be projected outwards.
WARNING
Due to high voltage, the bulb of (Xenon) gas-discharge headlights must only be replaced by experts: danger of death! Contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface may be lightly misted over: this is not a fault but a natural fact due to low temperature and the level of air humidity. It will disappear as soon the headlights are turned on. The presence of drops inside the headlights means water infiltration, therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS fig. 19
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your car:
A All glass bulbs: these are pressed on. Pull to remove.
B Bayonet type bulbs: press the bulb, turn counterclockwise to remove this type of bulb from its holder.

IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery charging procedure is described only for information purposes. This operation should be carried out by Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low amp rating for 24 hours. Charging for a longer time may 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.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch the electronic car alarm off with remote control (see "Alarm" in section "Dashboard and controls").

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks and maintenance operations every 30.000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled servicing does not completely cover all the car's requirements: also in the initial period before 30.000 km service coupon and later, between one coupon and another, ordinary care is still required such as for example routine check and topping up the level of fluids, tyre pressure check, etc...
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified by the Manufacturer. The failure to have them carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat Dealership, at pre-established times. If during each operation, in addition to the ones programmed, the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these may be carried out only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact Fiat Dealership in the event of any minor operating faults, without waiting for the next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service coupon and the other must be reduced.

☐ check and top up fluid levels (engine coolant, brakes, windscreen washer, battery, etc.);
☐ change engine oil and oil filter, if required (Multijet versions);
□ replace pollen filter.
ADDITIONAL CHECKS
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.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Selenia products, designed and produced specifically for Fiat cars (see table "Capacities" in section "Technical specifications").
IMPORTANT - Engine oil (petrol and Multijet versions without DPF)
Should prevailing use of the car be under one of the following specially heavy conditions:
□ trailer or caravan towing;
□ dusty roads;
☐ short distances (less than 7-8 km) repeated and with external temperatures below zero;
☐ frequently idling engines or long distance low speed driving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in case of a long term inactivity;
replace engine oil more frequently than required on "Service schedule".
IMPORTANT - Engine oil (Multijet versions with DPF)
Engine oil and oil filter shall be changed when the relevant warning light, together with the message on the display, turn on (see section "Warning lights and messages") or in any case every 2 years.
Should prevailing use of the car be in the city, engine oil will waste faster.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the car is used on dusty roads change the air cleaner more frequently than the indications in the "Service schedule".
If in doubt as to how often the engine oil and air cleaner should be changed according to how you use the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Oil topping up, even significant ones, do not replace the engine oil change procedure required when warning light
turns on. Engine oil shall be changed at a Fiat Dealership that will also turn off the warning light on the instrument panel.
IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the car is used frequently in dusty or heavily polluted environments it is advisable to replace the filtering element more frequently; in particular it should be replaced if a reduction of the amount of air admitted to the passenger compartment is noted.
IMPORTANT - Diesel filter
The possibility of topping up with diesel fuel not complying with EN590 European Norm might make it necessary to replace the filter more frequently than indicated in the “Service Schedule”.
IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in the battery should be checked at the start of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte freezing.
This check should be carried out more frequently if the car is used mainly for short trips, or if it is fitted with accessories that permanently absorb electricity even with the ignition key removed, especially in the case of after market accessories. If the car is used in hot climates or particularly harsh conditions it is wise to check the level of the battery fluid (electrolyte) more frequently than specified in the "Service schedule".
Car maintenance should be entrusted to Fiat Dealership. For routine and minor maintenance operations you wish to carry out yourself, always make sure you have the proper equipment, genuine Fiat spare parts and the necessary fluids; do not however carry out these operations if you have no experience.
CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
IMPORTANT When topping up take care not to confuse the various types of fluids: they are all incompatible with one another and could seriously damage the car.
IMPORTANT Never smoke while working in the engine compartment; gas and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.

ENGINE OIL fig. 7-8-9-10-11-12
Checking engine oil
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the engine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
Remove the dipstick A and clean it, put it back in completely, remove it and check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. The interval between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds to about one litre of oil.
Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even below the MIN mark, add oil through the filler neck B, until reaching the MAX mark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX mark.
IMPORTANT If a routine check reveals that the oil level is above the MAX mark, contact Fiat Dealership to have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after turning it off before you check the level.
Engine oil consumption
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving style and the conditions under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with specifications other than that already in the engine.
WARNING
When the engine is hot, take care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns. Remember that when the engine is hot, the fan may cut in: danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts.
Used engine oil and filter contain harmful substances for the environment. Contact Fiat Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
fig. 14-15-16
The coolant level shall be checked with cold engine and shall not be lower than the MIN mark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50% PARAFLU UP of the FL Selenia through the filler neck A.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and distilled water gives freeze protection to -35^ .
The cooling system uses PARAFLU UP antifreeze. Do not add fluid having different specifications from that already existing. PARAFLU UP cannot be mixed with other types of fluids. Should other fluids be added, do not start the engine and contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot: you risk scalding yourself. The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, replace the cap only with another genuine one, otherwise system efficiency could be compromised.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW/HEADLIGHT WASHER FLUID fig. 17-18
To top up, open the cap A and then pour a mixture of water and TUTELA PRO-FESSIONAL SC 35, in the following concentrations:
☐ 30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 70% water in summer;
☐ 50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50% water in winter.
In case of temperatures below -20^ , use undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid.
Check level through the reservoir.
For versions fitted with headlight washer, remove the filter and the relevant dipstick. Use the dipstick to check the fluid level inside the reservoir.
WARNING
Do not travel with the windscreen washer reservoir empty. The windscreen washer is fundamental for improving visibility.
WARNING
Certain commercial additives for windscreen washers are inflammable. The engine compartment contains hot components which may set it on fire.
BRAKE FLUID fig. 19
Unscrew cap A and check that the fluid level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not exceed the MAX mark.
If fluid has to be added, it is suggested to use the brake fluid in table "Fluids and lubricants" (see chapter "Technical characteristics").
NOTE Clean accurately the tank cap A and the surrounding surface.
At plug opening, pay maximum attention in order to prevent any impurities from entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel with integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this reason, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the "Service schedule".
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming into contact with painted parts. Should it happen, imply wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event mental contact, wash the parts immediately with neutral and water, then rinse thor-Call the doctor immediately is swallowed.
WARNING
Symbol Ⓞ on the container indicates synthetic brake flu-
id, distinguishing it from the mineral kind. Using mineral fluids irreversibly damages the special braking system rubber seals.
AIR FILTER
Air filter replacement shall be carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
POLLEN FILTER
Pollen filter replacement shall be carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
DIESEL FUEL FILTER
DRAINING THE CONDENSE (Multijet versions)
IMPORTANT The presence of water in the fuel circuit can severely damage the whole injection system and make the engine misfire. If the warning light 📋 turns on (together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the bleeding operation carried out.
BATTERY
The battery is of the "Limited maintenance" type: under normal conditions of use the electrolyte does not need topping up with distilled water.
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the battery checked/replaced.
CHECKING THE CHARGE fig. 20
The battery charge may be checked through the indicator A (where required) set on the battery cover and acting according to the colour the indicator shows.
fig. 20

Should the battery be not fitted with battery charge inspection device (optical electrolyte indicator), inspection operations shall be carried out by skilled personnel only.
Refer to the table below or to the label B on the battery.
WARNING
The liquid in the battery is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not bring naked flames or possible sources of sparks near the battery: risk of fire and explosion.
WARNING
Running the battery with low fluid level can damage
the battery beyond repair and could also cause its explosion.
| Bright white colour | Top up electrolyte | Contact Fiat Dealership |
| Dark colour without green area in the centre | Low charge level | Charge the battery (advisable to contact Fiat Dealership) |
| Dark colour with green area in the centre | Electrolyte level and charge sufficient | No action |
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part having the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the service intervals given in the "Service schedule" in this section will no longer be valid.
Refer to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Incorrect fitting of electrical and electronic accessories can seriously damage the car. If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, free-hand phone kit, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Batteries contain substances that are very harmful for the environment. You are advised to have the battery changed at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly equipped for disposing of used batteries respecting nature and the law.
WARNING
If the car is left inactive for long periods at cold, remove the battery and store it in a warm place to prevent freezing.
WARNING
When working on the bat- tery or near it, always wear the proper goggles.
USEFUL ADVICE
FOR LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and lengthen its life, observe the following indications:
□ when you park the car, ensure the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed properly;
☐ the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however provided with an automatic system for switching off internal lights;
☐ do not keep accessories (e.g.: sound system, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is not running;
☐ before performing any operation on the electrical system, disconnect the battery negative cable;
☐ battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened.
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at a charge of less than 50% (optical indicator with dark colour without green area in the middle) for any length of time will be damaged by sulphation leading to a reduction in cranking power.
Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk of the battery electrolyte freezing (this may even occur at -10^ ). If the car is inactive for a long period of time, refer to “Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use of the car”.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car's electric system is capable of with-standing the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
In fact, since these devices continue absorbing energy even when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery.
The total intake of these systems (factory and after-market) must be less than 0,6 mA x Ah (of the battery) as shown in the following table:
| Battery | Maximum admitted stand-by intake |
| 40 Ah | 24 mA |
| 50 Ah | 30 mA |
| 60 Ah | 36 mA |
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold.
For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see "Wheels" in "Technical specifications" section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 21:
A: normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B: low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C: high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, comply with the laws in the country where the car is being driven.
fig. 21
F0C0101m
IMPORTANT NOTES
☐ As far as possible, avoid sharp braking and screech starts, etc. Be careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres;
☐ Periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of these occur, have the car seen to at a Fiat Dealership;
☐ avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
☐ if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and charge it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering system;
☐ Tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks in the tread rubber are a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres have been on the car for over 6 years, they should be checked by specialised personnel, to see if they can still be used. Also remember to check the space-saver spare wheel;
☐ In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those of dubious origin;
☐ If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
☐ To allow even wear between the front and rear tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the car so as to not reverse the direction of rotation.

WARNING
Remember that road holding depends also on the correct tyre inflating pressure.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the car to the left and vice versa.
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned, carefully follow the "Service schedule" in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures exceeding 150°C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.
WINDSCREEN/ REAR WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products; TUTELA PROFES- SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they should be replaced. In any case they should be changed once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades:
☐ if the temperature fall below zero, make sure that ice has not frozen the rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw using an antifreeze product;
☐ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor and overheating;
☐ do not operate the windscreen and rear window wipers on dry glass.

Changing the windscreen wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
☐ raise the windscreen wiper arm A-fig. 22 and position the blade so that it forms an angle of 90^ with the arm;
☐ press tab B of the coupling spring and remove the blade to be replaced from the arm A;
☐ fit the new blade by inserting the tab into the special slot in the arm. Make sure it is properly locked into place.
For certain versions, to replace the blades proceed as follows:
☐ raise the windscreen wiper arm and position the blade so that it forms an angle of 90^ with the arm;
☐ press tabs A-fig. 23 (set aside the blade) and remove the blade to be replaced from the arm;
☐ fit the new blade and check it is properly locked into place.
WARNING
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard, visibility is reduced in bad
Changing the rear window blade
Proceed as follows:
☐ raise the cover A-fig. 24 and remove the arm from the car, slackening the nut B that fastens it to the pivot pin;
☐ fit the new arm, positioning it correctly, and fully tighten the nut;
□ lower the cover.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
□ atmospheric pollution;
☐ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates);
□ seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand and mud and gravel raised by other cars.
On your car, Fiat implemented the best manufacturing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion.
These include:
□ Painting products and systems which give the car particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
☐ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to corrosion;
Spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheelhouse internal parts and other parts with highly protective wax products;
Spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function, in the more exposed points: underdoor, inner fender parts, edges, etc.;
☐ Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside.
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due to rust of any original element of the structure or body. For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the Fiat Warranty booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet metal.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you are advised to have the necessary touching up carried out immediately to avoid the formation of rust. Use only original paint products for touching up (see "Bodywork paint identification plate" in section "Technical specification").
Normal paint maintenance consists in washing at intervals depending on the conditions and environment of use. For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the car more frequently.
To correctly wash the car:
☐ remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to it if the car 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.
When drying, take particular care with the less visible parts like door surrounds, bonnet and around the headlights where water may stagnate. The car should not be taken to a closed area immediately, but left in the open so that residual water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork.
Detergents cause water pollution. Therefore the car should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the liquid used in the washing process.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees; the resinous substance many species release give the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plastic lens.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products. Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rearscreen should be wiped gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment should be carefully washed, without directing the jet against electronic control units. Contact a specialised workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT The car should be washed with the engine cold and the ignition key at STOP. After washing make sure that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and various covers) have not been damaged or removed.
INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND VELVET PARTS
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of water and neutral detergent.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
Remove dried on dirt with lightly moistened chamois leather or cloth without pressing too hard.
Remove liquid or grease stains with a dry absorbent cloth without rubbing. Then wipe with a soft cloth or chamois leather with water and neutral soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products, carefully following the instructions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or alcohol-based products.
Fabric upholstery of your car is purpose-made to withstand common wear resulting from normal use of the car. It is however absolutely necessary to prevent hard and/or prolonged scratching/scraping caused by clothing accessories like metallic buckles, studs, "Velcro" fixings, etc. that stressing locally the fabric could break yarns and damage the upholstery as a consequence.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
For routine cleaning of interior plastic parts use a soft cloth moistened with water and neutral soap. Remove grease or persisting stains using appropriate solvent-free products designed to preserve appearance and colour of plastic components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean the instrument panel.
WARNING
Never use flammable products like oil ether or rectified petrol for cleaning car interiors. Electrostatic discharges generated by rubbing during cleaning operations could cause fire.
STEERING WHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB WITH GENUINE LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be cleaned with water and neutral soap. Never use spirit or alcohol-based products.
Before using special products for cleaning interiors, read carefully label instructions and indications to make sure they are free from spirit and/or alcohol-based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with special glass products, some drops fall on the leather covering of the steering wheel/gear lever knob remove them immediately and then clean with water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when engaging the steering lock to prevent scratching the leather covering.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the car: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must never be exposed to a temperature above 50^ C. The temperature inside the car exposed to the sun may go well beyond that figure.

For regular operation of Multijet versions fitted with DPF, use the genuine lubricant only. In the event of an emergency, lacking the genuine lubricant, top up just once with max. 0.5 l and go to Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Should non-genuine SAE 5W-40 products be used, lubricants with minimum ACEA A3 properties for petrol engines and ACEA B4 for Diesel engines are tolerated; in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.
Using low-quality products, not compliant with ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 properties and specifications could cause engine damages not covered by warranty.
For very cold temperatures, consult Fiat Dealership for the proper Selenia product to use.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
□ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
□ extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car; the speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
☐ combined consumption: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extraurban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
Fuel consumption according to Directive 1999/100/EC (litres x 100 km)

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to our customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of your nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web site or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.
* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
