REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
K
ENGINE STARTING
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
Using other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty cover for caused damages as a consequence.
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral (positions P or N with
automatic transmission); fully depress the clutch pedal (or brake pedal with automatic transmission) without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to START and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral (positions P or N with
automatic transmission); fully depress the clutch pedal (or brake pedal with automatic transmission) without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to ON and wait for the Yand mwarning lights to go off; turn the
ignition key to START and release it as soon as the engine has started.
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilising
system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each
ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is
started through a special aerial built into the
ignition switch. The modulate signal, which
changes each time the engine is started, is
the “password”, by means of which the
control unit recognises the key and enables
to start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the key is fitted into the ignition
switch, the Fiat CODE system control unit
sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has recognised the code
transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is removed, the
Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised correctly, the warning light
(where pro-
Y
vided) turns on accompanied by the related message on the display (see chapter
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the key should be removed and
refitted; if the lock continues, possibly try
again with the other key provided with the
car. If it is still not possible to start the car
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,
which must be memorised by the system
control unit. To memorise new keys, up to
a maximum of eight, apply to Fiat Dealership.
Warning light
coming on
Y
when driving
❒
If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a
self-test (for example for a voltage
drop). At the first stop, turn the ignition key to OFF and then back to
ON: if no failure is detected warning
light Ywill not come on.
❒
If the warning light Ystays on, repeat the procedure described previously leaving the key at OFF for over
30 seconds. Should the inconvenience
persists, contact a Fiat Dealership.
The electronic components inside the key may be damaged
if the key is submitted to sharp
knocks.

ALARM
(where provided)
WHEN THE ALARM
IS TRIGGERED
The alarm comes into action in the following cases:
❒
unlawful opening of one of the doors,
bonnet or boot (perimetral protection);
❒
attempt to start the engine with unauthorised key;
❒
battery cable cutting;
❒
presence of moving bodies in the passenger’s compartment (volumetric
protection);
❒
abnormal raising/sloping of the car.
Depending on the markets, the cutting in
of the alarm causes operation of the siren
and direction indicators (for about 26 seconds). The ways of operating and the number of cycles may vary depending on the
markets.
A maximum number of sound/sight cycles
is however envisaged.
Volumetric and anti-raising protections
can be cut off by operating the front ceiling light controls (see paragraphs “Volumetric protection sensors” and “Anti-raising sensor” on the following pages).
IMPORTANT The engine immobiliser
function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE
system, which is automatically activated
when the ignition key is removed.
HOW TO ACTIVATE
THE ALARM fig. 12
With the doors, bonnet and boot shut and
ignition key to OFF or removed, point
the key with remote control or removed,
point the key with remote control in the
direction of the car, then press and release
the button
Á.
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 Ë, check that the doors,
bonnet and tailgate are properly shut, then
switch the system on again by pressing
button Á.
fig. 12
F0L0100m
If the doors, bonnet and boot are shut
correctly and the warning “beep” is repeated, the system self-diagnostics has detected a system operating fault. It is therefore necessary to contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Operating a door with the
metal insert of the key will not activate the
alarm.
IMPORTANT The alarm is built in compliance with the law and regulations of the
different destination countries.

HOW TO DEACTIVATE
THE ALARM fig. 12
Press button
Ë
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 a door with the
metal insert of the key will not activate the
alarm.
To deactivate the alarm, turn the ignition
key to ON.

ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any abnormal car raising/sloping, even partial
(e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest car
sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally
and transversally. Sideslip angle changes
lower than 0.5°/min. (e.g.: slow tyre flattening) are not considered).
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the car with
alarm on) press button B-fig. 14 on the
front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on
until activating the central door opening

(if provided) on the instrument panel with the
relevant message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM
SYSTEM
To deactivate the alarm system completely (for instance during prolonged inactivity of the car) simply lock the car using the emergency locking.
IMPORTANT To cut-out the alarm if remote control batteries are down or the
system is failing, fit the key into the ignition switch and turn it to ON.
DEAD LOCK DEVICE
(where provided)
This safety device enables to inhibit:
❒
door internal handles;
❒
button A and B for locking/unlocking
the doors fig. 15;
thus hindering doors opening from inside
the passenger’s compartment in case of
attempt to break-into (e.g. window breaking).
The dead lock device guarantees the best
protection against unwanted access.
Therefore, it should be actuated every
time the car is parked and left unattended.
WARNING
Once the dead lock device
has been actuated, doors
cannot be opened from inside the car
in any way whatsoever. For this reason, make sure there are no persons
left inside the car.
fig. 15
F0L0003m
WARNING
If the battery of the key with
remote control is down, the
dead lock device can be activated only using the metal insert of the key on
the driver’s side door as described previously: in this case the dead lock device is active only on the rear doors.
INDEX
16
Page 18
fig. 16
F0L0100m
Device activation is signalled by three
flashes of the direction indicators and
flashing of the led on the driver door panel (see the table on next page).
Should one of the doors be not perfectly
closed, the dead lock device is not activated, thus preventing that a person getting into the car from the open door remains blocked inside the passenger’s compartment when he/she closes the door.
Device deactivation
The device is deactivated automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒
when unlocking the doors by the remote control;
❒
when unlocking only the driver’s door

IGNITION SWITCH
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 17:
❒
OFF: engine off, key can be removed,
steering column locked. Certain electrical devices (e.g.: sound system, power windows…) can work.
❒
ON: driving position. All electrical devices are powered.
❒
START: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety system that, in the event the
engine is not started, turns back the ignition key to OFF before repeating the
starting operation.
fig. 17
F0L0004m
WARNING
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
When getting out of the car,
always remove the key to
prevent any occupants from accidentally activating the controls. Remember to engage the handbrake
and if the car is parked on uphill slope
to engage the first gear. If the car is
facing downhill, engage the reverse
gear (position P with automatic transmission). Never leave unsupervised
children in the car.
Engaging
The steering column lock will engage 5
seconds after removing the key from the
ignition switch (engine off).
Disengaging
The steering column lock will disengage
after fitting the key into the ignition switch.
IMPORTANT Switching the engine off
when the car is running will not engage the
steering column lock. The multifunction
display will show the relevant message
(see section “Warning lights and Messages”).
IMPORTANT If, after trying to turn the
instrument panel on and/or to start the
engine, the display will show the message
“Check vehicle protection system”, repeat
the operation rocking the steering wheel
to facilitate steering unlocking. Displaying
of this message does not impair steering
column lock operation.
IMPORTANT When the vehicle is moving, the electronic key must remain in the
ignition device. That ensures that the steering lock is disabled during vehicle handling (e.g., when the vehicle is towed).

INSTRUMENTS
REV. COUNTER fig. 18
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
The rev. counter end of scale values can
vary based on the version.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
fig. 18
FF0L0512m
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden highering of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example when activating the climate control system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed
preserves the battery charge.

WARNING
Once you have released the
lever, check that the seat is
firmly locked in the runners by trying
to move it back and forth. Failure to
lock the seat in place could result in
the seat moving suddenly and the driver losing control of the car.
WARNING
For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat upright, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips.
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.

have the system checked at a Fiat Dealership.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
GENERAL
The car is fitted with a two-zone climate
control system which makes it possible to
separately adjust the air temperature on
the driver’s side and on the passenger’s
side. Temperature control is based on the
“equivalent temperature” logic, i.e.: the
system continuously works to keep constant the comfort inside the passenger
compartment and to compensate any variation of the outside climate conditions, including sunshine detected by a proper sensor provided for the purpose.
The system is also fitted with AQS (Air
Quality System) sensor that turns on air
recirculation automatically when it detects
the presence of outside polluted air (for
example when driving in the city, queues
and tunnels).
TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS
INDEX
52
Page 54
The climate control system automatically
controls and adjusts the following parameters and functions:
❒
air temperature at driver/front passenger/rear passenger vents;
❒
air distribution at driver/front passenger vents;
❒
fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒
compressor activation (to cool/dehumidify air);
❒
air recirculation.
All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required function/s and by changing the set parameters.
In this way the automatic control is deactivated; the system will resume automatic control only for safety reasons (e.g.
risk of window misting up).
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control by
pressing the proper button, except when
the system cuts in for particular safety
conditions.
The control of functions not changed manually remains automatic.
The amount of air admitted to the passenger compartment does not depend on
the car speed, since it is electronically controlled by the fan.
The temperature of the air admitted to
the passenger compartment is always controlled automatically according to the temperatures set on the driver’s and front
passenger’s display (except when the system is off or under certain conditions
when the compressor is off).
The following parameters and functions
can be set or changed manually:
❒
air temperatures on driver/front passenger side;
❒
fan speed (continuous variation);
❒
air distribution on seven levels (driver/front passenger side);
❒

SWITCHING THE CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM ON
The system can be started in different
ways, but it is advisable to press one of the
AUTO buttons and then to turn the
knobs to set the temperatures required
on the display.
Since the system controls two zone of the
passenger’s compartment, the driver and
the front passenger can select different
temperatures.
F0L0380m
This way the system will start working
completely automatically to reach the
comfort temperatures as quickly as possible. The system will set air temperature,
quantity and distribution and it will control the air recirculation function and the
activation of conditioner compressor.
INDEX
54
Page 56
During fully automatic operation, the only manual settings required are the following:
❒
MONO, to align the air temperature
and distribution set on the passenger’s
side (front or rear) with that on the
driver’s side;
❒
ï, air recirculation, to keep it always
on or off;
❒
-, to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, front side windows,
rear window and door mirrors;
❒
(, to demist/defrost heated rear window and door mirrors.
During full automatic system operation,
you can change at any time set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system will automatically change its settings
to adjust to the new requirements. During FULL AUTO operation, changing air
distribution and/or flow and/or compressor activation and/or air recirculation will
make the FULL wording disappear. In this
way functions will pass from automatic
control to manual control until pressing
again the AUTO button. Fan speed is the
same for every area of the passenger compartment.
With one or more functions engaged manually, the adjustment of the temperature
of the air admitted to the passenger compartment continues to be controlled automatically by the system, except with the
climate control compressor off: under this
condition in fact, the temperature of the
air admitted to the passenger compartment cannot be lower than outside air
temperature.
CONTROLS
Air temperature adjusting
knobs P-G
Turning the knobs clockwise or counterclockwise, respectively highers or lowers
the temperature of the air required respectively in the front left zone (knob P)
or in the right zone (knob G) of the passenger compartment.
Since the system controls two zones of
the passenger compartment, it is possible to personalise required temperatures
(driver and passenger).
The temperatures set are shown on the
displays near the relevant knobs.
Pressing button I (MONO ) automatically aligns the temperature on the passenger’s side with that on the driver’s side;
you can therefore set the same temperature for both zones by turning knob P on
driver side.
Separate operation of air temperatures
and distribution is restored by turning
knobs or pressing again button I
(MONO) when the button led is on.

❒
HI function (highest heating power):
this is turned on by rotating the temperature knob clockwise and passing the max.
temperature value (32°C). It can be activated independently from driver or front
passenger side or both (also when the
MONO function is selected).
When this function is on, the display
shows HI.
This function can be engaged when requiring to heat the passenger compartment as quickly as possible, exploiting the
maximum potential of the system. This
function uses the maximum temperature
of the coolant fluid, while air distribution
and fan speed are controlled according to
the system settings.
More particularly, max. fan speed will not
be immediately engaged if coolant is not
hot enough; this to prevent admitting air
that is not warm enough to the passenger
compartment.
All manual settings are possible with this
function on.
To switch the function off, simply turn the
knob counter-clockwise and set the required temperature.
❒
LO function (highest cooling power):
this is turned on by rotating the temperature knob counter-clockwise and passing
the min. temperature value (16°C). It can
be activated independently from driver or
front passenger side or both (also when
the MONO function is selected).
When this function is on, the display

Front air distribution buttons B-F
Pressing these buttons it is possible to
choose manually one of the seven possible air distributions to the passenger compartment (right or left side):
▲
Air flow to the windscreen and front
side window vents to demist or de-
frost them.
˙
Air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season.
▼
Air flow towards the front and rear
lower parts of the passenger com-
partment. Due to the natural ten-
dency of heat to spread upwards,
this type of distribution allows heat-
ing of the passenger compartment
in the shortest time, also giving a
prompt feeling of warmth.
˙
Splitting of the air flow between the
▼
vents to the lower part of the pas-
senger compartment (warmest air)
and the dashboard centre and side
outlets (coolest air). This air flow
distribution is particularly useful in

automatically adjusts the amount and distribution of the air admitted to the passenger compartment, cancelling all the
previous manual adjustments.
This condition is indicated by the message
FULL AUTO on the front system display.
Manual operation of at least one automatic
function (air recirculation, air distribution,
fan speed or climate control compressor
off) will cause FULL message going off the
display. This means that automatic control
is not complete (except temperature control which is always automatic).
IMPORTANT Should the system (after
manual settings) be no longer able to guarantee the required temperature set in the
passenger compartment, the set temperature value will start flashing to indicate this
condition, after one minute the AUTO
message will turn off.
To restore system automatic control at
any time, after one or more manual adjustments, press button AUTO.

Air recirculation and AQS function
on/off button A
If the AQS sensor is not fitted, air recirculation works according to the following
operating logics:
❒
forced switching on (inside air recirculation always on), indicated by symbol í on the display;
❒
forced switching off (air recirculation
always off with air inlet from the outside), indicated by symbol
êon the
display.
The above operating conditions are obtained by pressing in sequence the air recirculation button A.
Due to safety reasons, after long recirculation activation (over 25 minutes), the
system will deactivate automatically air recirculation for 60 seconds to enable outside air inlet.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the required heating or cooling conditions faster.
WARNING
It is inadvisable to use the in-
side air recirculation function with low outside temperature as
windows may mist over quickly.
It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility of the windows misting inside, especially if the climate control
system is off.
When outside temperature is below 3°C,
recirculation is forced to off (outside air
inlet) to prevent window misting up.
It will be reactivated automatically if outside temperature becomes higher than 5
°C.
The AQS sensor (Air Quality System) in
addition to the above operating logics, enables to control recirculation automatically according to the quality of outside air:
❒ automatic control indicated by symbol
≥on the display.
In this event the display will show symbol
ïor ñaccording to actual recirculation operating conditions (on or off).
In automatic operation with AQS, inside
air recirculation is turned on automatically when the antipollution sensor detects
the presence of polluted air, for example
when driving in the city, queues and tunnels.
With compressor on, in order to prevent
polluted air (exhaust gas) inlet at stops, the
system will stop air recirculation when the
car speed falls below 6 km/h. As the car
speed increases (over 25 km/h), the system will restore the previous automatic
operating conditions.
In automatic operation, AQS is deactivated when outside temperature is below
3°C, the system will activate air recirculation (indicated by symbol ≥on the
display). The user can however set it manually by operating in rolling mode the reirculation button: pressing the button for
the first time will display the current recirculation condition, indicated by symbol
ê.
It will be reactivated automatically if outside temperature becomes higher than 5
°C.
Press the button again to select the required recirculation condition, indicated
by the corresponding symbol on the display. Under these conditions manual activation of the AQS function could cause
window misting up.
When air recirculation is set manually,
wording FULL will turn off and A will disappear from the recirculation symbol on
the display.

Ü
turns on together with the rel-
evant message on the instrument panel.
TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒
turn the knurled ring A to ON and
press the accelerator pedal to the required speed;
❒
move the stalk upwards (+) for at least
one second, then release it. The car
speed is memorised and it is therefore
possible to release the accelerator
pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the car will return
to the speed memorised previously.
TO RESET THE MEMORISED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for example pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as follows:
❒
accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the one memorised;
❒
engage the gear selected at the time of
speed memorising;
❒
press the RES B button.
INDEX
68
Page 70
TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒
pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached;
or
❒
moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will correspond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk upwards
will correspond to a continuous speed increase.
TO REDUCE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒
disengaging the device and then memorising the new speed;
or
❒
moving the stalk downwards (–) until
reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will correspond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk downwards will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction.
DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
The device can be disengaged in the following ways:
❒
turning the knurled ring A to OFF;
❒
turning the engine off;
❒
pressing the brake pedal or engaging
the hand brake;
❒
pressing the clutch pedal;
❒
shifting gear with automatic transmission in sequential mode;
❒
with car speed below the preset limit;
❒
pressing the accelerator pedal; in this
case the system is not really disengaged but the request for acceleration
takes priority over the system. The
cruise control is however active and it
will not be necessary to press button
RES to resume previous conditions
after ending acceleration.
The device is automatically deactivated in
one of the following cases:
❒
ABS or ESP system cut-in;
❒
system failure.

POWER SUPPLY AND FUEL
CUT-OFF SWITCH
The car is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into operation by cutting off fuel and turning off the
engine as a consequence. Certain versions
are equipped with an additional safety
switch that in the event of a crash comes
into operation by cutting off the power supply. These two safety switches therefore
prevent dangerous fuel leaks due to fuel line
cracking and sparks or electric discharges
due to damaging or malfunctioning of the
electric components of the car in the event
of a crash.
IMPORTANT After a crash, remember to
remove the key from the ignition device
to prevent battery run-down.
If, after a crash no fuel leaks or damages
to the electric devices (e.g. headlights) are
found and the car can be started again, reset the fuel cut-off switch and the power
supply cut-off switch (where provided).
Follow the instructions given below.
WARNING
If, after a crash, you smell fu-

All versions are fitted with power windows with anti-crushing safety device to
detect the presence of an obstacle in the
window closing stroke. If an obstacle is detected, the safety system will stop window
closing and, according to window position,
will also reverse window stroke.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anticrushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute, the system will automatically enter the “recovery” mode (self-protection). This conditions is pointed out by
the fact that, in the closing phase, the window goes up in jerks.
So, it is necessary to carry out the system restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒
open the windows;
or
❒
turn the ignition key to OFF and then
to ON.
The logic is restored if no malfunction is
present, the window returns to its normal

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT When turning on (Xenon)
gas discharge headlight lamps (where provided), it is normal that there should be a
vertical movement of reflectors, and consequently the same will also happen to the
light beam, for the time required to
achieve the correct headlight trim stabilisation, equal to approx. 2 seconds.
Headlight aiming device
It works with ignition key at ON and
dipped beams on. When the car is loaded,
it slopes backwards. This means that the
headlight beam rises. In this case, it is necessary to return it to the correct position.
fig. 122
F0L0050m
To adjust the headlight slant
fig. 122
Press button A set on the control panel;
if the car is fitted with (Xenon) gas discharge headlights, slant adjustment is electronic and therefore button A is not present.
The display located on the instrument panel, provides the visual indication of the positions during the adjustment operation
(fig. 123: multifunctional display - fig. 124:
reconfigurable multifunctional display).
Position 0 - one or two people occupying the front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permissi-
ble load stowed in the boot.

FRONT FOG LIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT BEAM
ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the
car is marketed. In countries with opposite circulation, to avoid glaring oncoming vehicles, it is necessary to cover the
areas of the headlight using a special sticker tape provided for the purpose and available at Lineaccessori Fiat. Contact Fiat
Dealership.
ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an ABS braking system, which prevents the wheels from locking when braking, makes the most of road
grip and gives the best control when emergency braking under difficulty road conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum efficiency of the braking system, it is necessary a setting period of about 500 km
(with new car after replacing brake
pads/discs): during this period it is better
to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
brakes.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
When the ABS cuts in, you will feel the
brake pedal pulsating slightly and the system get noisier: it means that the speed
should be altered to fit the type of road surface.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that
the grip between tyre and the road surface has reached the limit: you must slow
down to match the speed to the road grip
available.

FAILURE WARNINGS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
>
of warning light
on the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on
the display (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
In this case the braking system is still efficient, though without the aid of the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the closest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
WARNING
If the ABS system cuts in, it
is a sign that the grip between 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.
EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>
and xon the instrument panel together with the dedicated message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the possibility of skidding. Drive extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance)
(where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, recognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
brake circuit.
During emergency braking, the emergency
lights turn on automatically; when accelerating the lights turn off automatically.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP system failure (indicated by warning light
á
switching on together with the message
on the display).
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road conditions.
WARNING
If the brake fluid low warn-
ing light xcomes on (together with the message on the display), stop the car immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system,
in fact, can compromise the braking
system, both traditional systems and
systems with ABS.

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road surfaces changes.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light
form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.
ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically activated when the car is started and cannot be
de-activated.
FAILURE WARNINGS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected and the warning light
the instrument panel, together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
case contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
á

á
, comes on with fixed light on
WARNING
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s responsibility.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(where provided)
This system is an integral part of the ESP
system and it is provided to facilitate starting on slopes.
It will activate automatically with the following conditions:
Uphill: car at a standstill on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running,
clutch and brake pedal pressed, gearbox
to neutral or engaged gear other than reverse.
Downhill: car at a standstill on a road with
a gradient higher than 5%, engine running,
clutch and brake pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
At pickup the ESP system control unit will
keep brake force on wheels until reaching
the torque suitable for starting, or in any
case for max. 1.5 seconds in order to pass
easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
After 1,5 seconds without starting, the
system will deactivate automatically by releasing gradually the brake force.
At releasing, the typical brake disengagement noise indicating that the car is going to move will be heard.
Failure indications
System failure is indicated by the turning
á
on of warning light
panel (together with the message on the
multifunction display) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake. Never get out of the
car without engaging the handbrake,
switching the engine off and engaging the
first gear (position P con with automatic
transmission).

WARNING
During the use of the space-
saver spare wheel, the ESP
system carries on working. However,
you must remind that the space-saver
spare wheel has dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore
its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the
ESP system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.
ASR SYSTEM
(AntiSlip Regulator)
(where provided)
The ASR function controls car drive and
cuts in automatically every time one or
both driving wheels slip.
According to slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated:
❒
if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒
if slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the TC (Traction Control)
function cuts in automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR is particularly helpful in the following circumstances:
❒
slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive acceleration;
❒
too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒
acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒
in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning).
fig. 125
F0L0052m
SWITCHING THE ASR SYSTEM
ON/OFF fig. 125
The ASR system switches on
automatically each time the engine is
started.
When travelling ASR can be switched off
and on again pressing switch A set aside
the gearshift lever.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
switch and by the relevant message on the
display (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.

EOBD SYSTEM
The European On Board Diagnostic system (EOBD), fitted to engine electronic
control units, allows monitoring and warning of any malfunction to the electronic
systems that could increase exhaust emissions.
The objective is:
❒
To keep system efficiency under control;
❒
Warn when a fault causes emission levels to increase;
❒
Warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.
This diagnostic system indicates the presence of deteriorated components or system malfunctioning (see section “Warning lights and messages”) by the turning on
of the instrument panel warning light U
(together with the message on the display).
INDEX

Page 100
NOTE The car is provided with a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced
with appropriate tools, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in
the control units, together with a series of
specific parameters for engine operation
and diagnosis. This test can also be performed by traffic controller agents.
IMPORTANT: After a servicing operation
at Fiat Dealership aimed to eliminate malfunctioning connected to the EOBD system, in order to check the system thoroughly it could be required to run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
- T.P.M.S. (where
provided)
The car can be equipped with the T.P.M.S.
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). This
system consists of a radio-frequency sensor, installed on each wheel (on the rim
inside the tyre) that sends pressure information to the control unit.
IMPORTANT System control unit monitors the pressure of the four car tyres but
not the space-saver spare wheel. It is
therefore recommended to always check
also the space-saver spare wheel pressure.
IMPORTANT Pay the utmost attention
when checking or inflating tyres. Excessive
pressure impairs road holding, increases
suspension and wheel stress and causes
abnormal tyre wear.
IMPORTANT Tyre pressure should be
checked with tyres rested and cold.
Should it become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with hot
tyres, do not reduce pressure although it
is higher than the prescribed value but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
WARNING
The T.P.M.S. system does not
exempt the driver to check
tyre and space-saver spare wheel pressure at regular intervals.
