WARNING

This Owner Handbook describes all versions of the Fiat information relevant to your car’s trim level, engine and version. All data contained in this publication are purely indicative.

READ THIS CAREFULLY

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification

EN228. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage fundamental components of the supply system. LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused. For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the handbrake is engaged and place the gear lever in neutral. Fully press the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the engine starts. Versions with Dualogic gearbox: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking) or N (Neutral), fully depress the brake pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine is started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text. The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your car. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure. To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook. Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle. There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries. Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed. WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number. That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

SYMBOLS

Some car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component. A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.

CHANGES/ALTERATIONS TO THE CAR

IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the car might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

2) If the ignition device has been tampered with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it checked by a Fiat Dealership before driving again.

3) Always remove the key when you leave your car to prevent someone from accidentally operating the controls. Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked uphill or reverse if the vehicle is parked downhill. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.

4) Never remove the key while the car is moving. The steering wheel would automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it. This holds true for cars being towed as well.

5) It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that could adversely affect performance and safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in the car not meeting type-approval requirements.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electronic engine locking system which increases protection against attempted thefts of the car. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed. Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the Powertrain Control Module to deactivate the immobiliser. If, during starting, the code has not been correctly recognised, the

warning light switches on in the instrument panel; on some versions a symbol is shown on the display instead. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with the car. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system's control unit. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to 8) stored with a code.

air flow to central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face in warm weather;

distribution between feet area diffusers (warmest air) and

KNOWING YOUR CAR

dashboard diffusers (coolest air); towards the footwell diffusers. Due

to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the passenger compartment up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate feeling of warmth;

distribution between footwell diffusers and windscreen/front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves effective heating of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up;

air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to

demist or defrost them. D - heated rear windscreen button. E - temperature adjustment knob.

Press the knob A fig. 26 to turn the climate control system on and off. NOTE Optimal cooling/heating of the passenger compartment may not be guaranteed together with Start&Stop. To prioritise the operation of the climate control system, deactivate the Start&Stop function.

NOTE To stop the air flow from the vents, turn the knob to 0.

IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch the air recirculation on whilst queueing or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the function for long periods, particularly if there are many people on board, to prevent the windows from misting.

E - Passenger compartment air distribution.

By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible air flow distribution patterns can be selected:

air flow to the windscreen and front side window diffusers to demist or defrost them.

air flow to central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot season.

air flow to the front seat feet area diffusers. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the passenger compartment up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate feeling of warmth.

distribution between feet area diffusers (warmest air) and dashboard diffusers (coolest air).

distribution between footwell diffusers and windscreen/ front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves effective heating of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.

F - Heated rear windscreen on/off button.

IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of the rear window over the heating filaments to avoid damage.

G - Switching off

H - Internal air recirculation on/off button

It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted air. LED on button ON = recirculation ON. LED on button OFF = recirculation OFF.

IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air recirculation when the outside temperature is low, since the windows could mist rapidly.
