Dear Customer
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing Fiat Fullback. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. Here
you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance from the technical features of your Fiat Fullback.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and maintenance of your vehicle over time. After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on board the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Fullback versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording (where provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy S.p.A. aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.
For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Only refuel with automotive diesel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for the warning lights
and to switch off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as
the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows 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), visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low running costs over time.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
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 properly specified 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 vehicle. 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, some controls position or construction 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 anyway a textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.
Abbreviations used in this Owner Handbook: LHD— Left-Hand Drive RHD— Right-Hand Drive M/T— Manual Transmission A/T— Automatic Transmission
This manual explains operation of LHD ans RHD vehicles. Illustrations represent LHD operation. Depending on the item, however, RHD illustrations may also appear.
Page 6
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.

VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL / ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle in the context of after-sales service must carry the following label
: FCA Italy S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised
centre, in a workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications. Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the vehicle. This
may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it. FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA Italy S.p.A. and not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial is mounted externally. Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer. The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health. If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/Keyless Entry-N-Go system may occur.
INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
Before fitting any accessories, please consult your authorised Fiat Dealership.

Page 8
IMPORTANT Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnosis connector for checking and servicing the electronic control system. Do not connect a device other than a diagnosis tool for inspections and service to this connector. Otherwise, the battery could be discharged, the electronic devices of the vehicle could malfunction, or other unexpected problems could result. In addition, malfunctions caused by connecting a device other than a diagnosis tool may not be covered under warranty.
The installation of accessories, optional parts, etc., should only be carried out within the limits prescribed by law in your country, and in accordance with the guidelines and warnings contained within the documents accompanying this vehicle. Only FCA Italy S.p.A. approved accessories should be fitted to your vehicle.
Improper installation of electrical parts could cause fire, please refer to the Modification/ alteration to the electrical or fuel systems section within this owner’s manual.
Using a cellular phone or radio set inside the vehicle without an external antenna may cause electrical system interference, which could lead to unsafe vehicle operation.
Tyres and wheels which do not meet specifications must not be used. Refer to the “Specifications” section for information regarding wheel and tyre sizes.
Do not fail to read the accessories manuals prior to the installation of accessories, parts or other modifications to the vehicle!
IMPORTANT POINTS!
Due to a large number of accessories and replacement parts of different manufactures available in the market, it is not possible, not only for FCA Italy S.p.A. but also an authorised Fiat Dealership, to check whether the attachment or installation of such parts affects the overall safety of your vehicle.
Even when such parts are officially authorised, for example by a “general operators permit” (an appraisal for the part) or through the execution of the part in an officially approved manner of construction, or when a single operation permit following the attachment or installation of such parts, it cannot be deduced from that alone, that the driving safety of your vehicles has not been affected.
Consider also that there basically exists no liability on the part of the appraiser or the official. Maximum safety can only be ensured with parts recommended, sold and fitted or installed by an authorised Fiat Dealership (replacement with original FCA Italy S.p.A. spare parts). The same also pertains to modifications of vehicles with respect to the production specifications. For safety reasons, do not attempt any modifications other than those that follow the recommendations of an authorised Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
32) All adjustments must be made with the
vehicle stationary.
33) Do not attempt to adjust the seat while driving. This can cause loss of vehicle control and result in an accident. After adjustments are made, ensure the seating is locked in position by attempting to move the seat forward and rearward without using the adjusting mechanism.
34) After releasing the adjustment lever, always check that the seat is locked on the guides by trying to move it back and forth. If it is not locked, the seat may move unexpectedly and make you lose control of the vehicle.
35) 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 pelvis.
36) Make sure the backrests are properly secured at both sides (not visible "red notches”) to prevent them from moving forward, in the event of sharp braking, with possible impact with of the passengers.
37) It is extremely dangerous to ride in the cargo area of a vehicle. Also, the cargo area and rear seats should never be used as a play area by children. In a collision, people or children riding unrestrained in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
38) Do not allow people or children to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts, and make sure that everyone travelling in your vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in the case of a child is strapped in a child restraint.
39) To minimize the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks should always be in the almost upright position while the vehicle is in motion. The protection provided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the seatback is reclined. There is greater risk that the passenger will slide under the seat belt, resulting in serious injury, when the seatback is reclined.
40) Do not place objects under the seats. This could prevent the seat from locking securely, and it could lead to an accident. It may also cause damage to the seat or other parts.
41) Make sure the seat is adjusted by an adult or with adult supervision for correct and safe operation.
42) Do not place a cushion or the like between your back and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of the head restraints will be reduced in the event of an accident.

43) The reclining mechanism of the front manual seat's seatback is spring loaded, causing it to fold the seatback forward when the lock lever is operated. When using the lever, sit close to the seatback or hold it with your hand to control its return motion.
44) When sliding the seats, be careful not to catch your hand or foot.
45) If your vehicle is equipped with the rear seat, when sliding or reclining the seat rearward, pay careful attention to the rear seat passengers.
46) If the following types of persons use the heated seats, they might become too hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat blisters, etc.): children, elderly or ill people, people with sensitive skin, excessively tired people, people under the influence of alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold medicine, etc.).
IMPORTANT
10) The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear deriving from normal use of the car. Some precautions are however required. Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing against clothing accessories such as metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by applying a high pressure on the fabric in a small area, could cause it to break, thereby damaging the upholstery.
11) Operate in the “HI” position for quick heating. Once the seat is warm, set the heater switch to the “LO” position to keep it warm. Slight variations in seat temperature may be felt while using the heated seats. This is caused by the operation of the heater’s internal thermostat and does not indicate a malfunction.
12) Do not place heavy objects on the seat or stick pins, needles, or other pointed objects into it.
13) Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other material with high heat insulation properties on the seat while using the heater; this might cause the heater element to overheat.
14) Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol, alcohol or other organic solvents when cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage not only the seat cover, but also the heater element.
15) If water or any other liquid is spilled on the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before attempting to use the heater.
16) Turn the heater off immediately if it appears to be malfunctioning during use.

out with the vehicle stationary and the engine off. Head restraints must be adjusted so that the head, rather than the neck, rests on them. Only in this case can they protect your head correctly. To take best advantage of the protection provided by the head restraint, adjust the seat back so that you are sitting up straight and your head is as close to the head restraint as possible.
48) Driving without the head restraints in place can cause you and your passengers serious injury or death in an accident. To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, always make sure the head restraints are installed and properly positioned when the seat is occupied.
49) Never place a cushion or similar device on the seatback. This can adversely affect head restraint performance by increasing the distance between your head and the restraint.
50) When a person sits in the middle seating position of the rear seat, pull up the head restraint to a height at which it locks in position. Be sure to make this adjustment before starting to drive. Serious injuries could otherwise be suffered in the result of an impact (Double cab).
51) Make sure that the height adjusting knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in the illustration, and also lift the head restraints to ensure that they do not come out of the seatback.
52) The shape and size of the head restraint differs according to the seat. Always use the correct head restraint provided for the seat and do not install the head restraint in the wrong direction.

WARNING
56) As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of distance of the reflected image. Further, the reflective surface of the lower part of the exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase the field of view. The reflected image size is thus reduced and gives the impression that the reflected item is further away than it actually is.
57) Do not attempt to adjust the rear view mirrors while driving. This can be dangerous. Always adjust the mirrors before driving.
58) Your vehicle is equipped with convex type mirrors. Remind that objects that you see in the mirror will look smaller and farther away compared to a normal flat mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate distance of following vehicles when changing lanes.
59) Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror folded in. The lack of rearward visibility normally provided by the mirror could lead to an accident.
IMPORTANT
20) It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror using the mirror retractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again, not by hand. If you extended the mirror by hand after retracting it using the switch, it would not properly lock in position. As a result, it could move because of the wind or vibration while you are driving, taking away your rearward visibility.

Precautions to observe when using wipers and washers
If the moving wipers become blocked partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers may temporarily stop operating to prevent the motor from overheating. In this case, park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position or put the operation mode in OFF, and then remove the ice or other deposits. Because the wipers will start operating again after the wiper motor cools down, check that the wipers operate before using them.
Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry. They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prematurely.
Before using the wipers in cold weather, check that the wiper blades are not frozen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the wipers are used with the blades frozen onto the glass.
Avoid using the washer continuously for more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty. Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
Periodically check the level of washer fluid in the reservoir and refill if required.
During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so could result in loss of washer function and frost damage to the system components.

layers of snow or ice from the windscreen. In such conditions, the windscreen wiper may be subjected to excessive stress and the motor cut-out switch, which prevents operation for a few seconds, may intervene. If operation is not restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.
64) Streaks of water may cause unnecessary blade movements.
65) If the washer is used in cold weather, the washer fluid sprayed against the glass may freeze, which may hinder visibility. Warm the glass with the defroster or rear window demister before using the washer.
66) With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON and the lever in the “AUTO” position, the wipers may automatically operate in the situations described below. If your hands get trapped, you could suffer injuries or the wipers could malfunction. Be sure to turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position or put the operation mode in OFF, or move lever to the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor: when cleaning the outside surface of the windscreen, if you touch or wipe with a cloth on top of the rain sensor; when using an automatic car wash; when a physical shock is applied to the windscreen or to the rain sensor.
IMPORTANT
21) Do not activate the rain sensor when
washing the car in an automatic car wash.

For vehicles with the Start&Stop system, if the demister switch is pressed, the Start&Stop system will not operate and the engine will not stop automatically even if the vehicle is stopped. This is to ensure that good visibility is maintained.
IMPORTANT OPERATION TIPS FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING
Park the vehicle in the shade. Parking in the hot sun will make the vehicle inside extremely hot, and it will require more time to cool the interior. If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expel the hot air.
Close the windows when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will
133
AH3100199
134
AH3100203
67
reduce the cooling efficiency.
Page 70
Too much cooling is not good for the health. The inside air temperature should only be 5 to 6 °C below the outside air temperature.
When operating the system, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windscreen, is free of obstructions such as leaves and snow. Leaves collected in the air-intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains.
Air conditioning system refrigerant recommendations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a (R134a).
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be recovered and recycled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent
poor lubrication of the compressor internal parts and to maintain the air conditioning in the best operating condition.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AIR CLEANER / POLLEN FILTER
An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioner so that dirt and dust are cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt.
NOTE Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to reduction of service life of the filter. When you feel that the airflow is lower than normal or when the windscreen or windows start to fog up easily, replace the air filter. We recommend you to have it checked.
REAR WINDOW DEMISTER SWITCH
(where provided) The rear window demister switch can
be operated when the engine is running. Push the switch to turn on the rear window demister. It will be turned off automatically in about 20 minutes. To turn off the demister within about 20 minutes, push the switch again. The indicator lamp (A) will illuminate while the demister is on.

NOTE The demister switch is not to melt snow but to clear mist. Remove snow before use of the demister switch.
NOTE To avoid unnecessary discharge of the battery, do not use the rear window demister during starting of the engine or when the engine is not running. Turn the demister off immediately after the window is clear.
NOTE When cleaning the inside of the rear window, use a soft cloth and wipe gently along the heater wires, being careful not to damage the wires.
NOTE Do not allow objects to touch the inside of the rear window glass, damaged or broken wires may result.
Customizing the automatic rear window demister (for vehicles equipped with the rear window demister switch - Automatic type)
Function can be changed as desired, as stated below.
Enable automatic rear window demister — If the outside air temperature drops below approx. 3 °C (37 °F), the rear window demister operates once automatically after the engine starts. The heated mirrors will also operate once automatically at the same time.
Disable automatic rear window demister — The rear window demister does not operate automatically. The heated mirrors will not operate automatically as well.
Setting change method — Hold down the rear window demister switch for about 10 seconds or more. When the setting is changed from enable to disable 3 sounds are emitted and the indicator lamp flashes 3 times. When the setting is changed from disable to enable 2 sounds are emitted and the indicator lamp flashes 3 times.
NOTE The factory setting is “Disable automatic rear window demister”.
WARNING
67) For safety, make sure you have a clear
view through all windows.
68) Use of the recirculation position for an extended time may cause the windows to fog up.
IMPORTANT
22) The engine speed may increase when
the air conditioning is operating. With an increased engine speed, an A/T vehicle will creep to a greater degree than with a lower engine speed. Fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.
23) When using the air conditioning, the idling speed may slightly increase as the air conditioning compressor is switched on/off automatically. While the vehicle with an automatic transmission is stationary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.
24) When using the mode selection dial between the
and positions, prevent fogging by moving the air selection lever to select outside air (refer to “Air selection lever”).
25) Use of the
(recirculation) position for extended time may cause the windows to fog up.
26) If the outside air is dusty or otherwise contaminated, or if high cooling performance is desired, set air selection lever to the
(recirculation) position and the temperature control dial all the way to the right. Switch to the
(outside) position periodically to increase ventilation so that the windows do not become fogged up.
IMPORTANT
2) The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a (indicated on a specific plate in the engine compartment). The use of other coolants affects the efficiency and condition of the system. Also the compressor coolants used must be compatible with the indicated coolant.

Safety mechanism (driver’s window only)
74) 75) 76)
When the door window is automatically closed by pulling up the switch fully, if a hand or head is trapped in the closing window, it will lower automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head or hand out of the window when closing the driver’s door window. The lowered window will become operational after a few seconds.
NOTE The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving conditions or other circumstances cause the driver’s door window to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a trapped hand or head.
NOTE If the safety mechanism is activated five or more times in a row, the safety mechanism will be cancelled and the door window will not close correctly. In such a case, the following procedure should be implemented to rectify this situation. If the window is open, repeatedly raise the driver’s door window switch until that window has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for at least 1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate in the normal way.
NOTE If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled and the door window will not automatically open/close completely. If the window is open, repeatedly raise the driver’s door window switch until the window has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this condition for at least 1 second, then release it. You should now be able to operate the driver’s door window in the normal way.
WARNING
69) Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during operation, always check that nobody is exposed to the risk of being injured either directly by the moving window or through objects getting caught or by being hit. When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition switch to avoid the risk of injury to anyone remaining in the car due to accidental operation of the electric windows.
70) Before operating the electric window control, make sure that nothing is capable of being trapped (head, hand, finger, etc.).
71) Never leave the vehicle without removing the key. Never leave a child (or other person who might not be capable of safe operation of the electric window control) in the vehicle alone.
140
AHA105512
71
Page 74
72) A child may tamper with the switch at the risk of its hands or head being trapped in the window.
73) When driving with a child in the vehicle, please press the window lock switch to disable the passenger’s switches.
74) If the battery terminals are disconnected or the fuse for electric window is replaced, the safety mechanism will be cancelled. If a hand or head got trapped, a serious injury could result.
75) The safety mechanism is cancelled just before the window is fully closed. This allows the window to close completely. Therefore be especially careful that no fingers are trapped in the window.
76) The safety mechanism is deactivated while the switch is pulled up. Therefore be especially careful that fingers are not trapped in the door window opening.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used with catalytic converter are extremely efficient for the reduction of noxious gases. The catalytic converter is installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage.
77)
NOTE Use fuel of the type recommended in “Fuel selection”.
WARNING
77) As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust since a fire could occur.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(where provided)
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a device that captures most of the particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF automatically burns away trapped PM during vehicle operation. Under certain driving conditions, however, the DPF is not able to burn away all of the trapped PM and, as a result, an excessive amount of PM accumulates inside it.
78)
27)
NOTE To minimize the likelihood of excessive accumulation of PM, try to avoid driving for long periods at low speeds and repeatedly driving short distances and try to keep high engine speed driving as much as possible.
NOTE The engine sounds slightly different from usual while the DPF automatically burns away trapped PM. The change in the engine sound does not indicate a fault.
DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on in the event of an abnormality in the DPF system.
72
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Page 75
If the DPF warning lamp comes on during vehicle operation
Steady illumination of the DPF warning lamp shows that the DPF has not been able to burn away all of the trapped PM and that, as a result, an excessive amount of PM has accumulated inside it. To enable the DPF to burn away the PM, try to drive the vehicle as follows:
With the bar graph of engine coolant temperature display stabilized in roughly the middle of the scale, drive for approximately 20 minutes at a speed of at least 40 km/h.
28) 29)
IMPORTANT You do not have to continuously drive exactly as indicated above. Always strive to drive safely in accordance with road conditions.
If the DPF warning lamp flashes during vehicle operation
Flashing of the DPF warning lamp indicates an abnormality in the DPF system. Have the system inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
78) The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during normal operation. Do not park the vehicle on flammable material (grass, dry leaves, pine needles etc.): fire hazard.
IMPORTANT
27) Do not use any type of fuel or engine oil
that is not specified for your vehicle. Also, do not use any moisture-removing agent or other fuel additive. Such substances could have a detrimental effect on the DPF. Refer to “Fuel selection” and “Engine oil”.
28) Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The engine can be stopped even if the DPF symbol is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine, following the instructions above. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
29) Continuing to drive with the DPF warning lamp flashing could result in engine trouble and DPF damage.

82) For safety reasons, the bonnet must always be properly closed while the car is travelling. Therefore, make sure that the bonnet is properly closed and that the lock is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet is not perfectly closed during travel, stop immediately and close the bonnet in the correct manner.
IMPORTANT
30) Note that the support bar may
disengage the bonnet if the open bonnet is lifted by a strong wind.
31) After inserting the support bar into the slot, make sure the bar supports the bonnet securely from falling down on to your head or body.

Cargo loads precautions
When loading luggage, be careful to the following.
Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo
area whenever possible.
Distribute cargo or luggage evenly not to be unbalanced in weight of a load.
Do not place cargo or luggage on the instrument panel. Also, do not stack up cargo or luggage on the front passenger’s seat or the rear seat. Having the driver’s vision blocked, and your cargo being thrown inside the cabin if you suddenly have to brake can cause a serious accident or injury.
HIGH-LOAD SYSTEM, PROTRUDING LOADS
Check that the load is distributed evenly on the flatbed and that the rear side panel is correctly closed, so that the load, or part of it, cannot fall onto the road surface.
Some simple suggestions can improve driving safety, comfort and vehicle duration:
distribute the load evenly over the platform: if it must be concentrated it in a single area, choose an area mid-way between both axles;
remember that the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle is affected by the transported weight: in particular, the stopping distances are longer, especially at high speed.
Bumpy roads and heavy braking may cause unexpected load shifting with consequently hazardous situations: before setting off, secure the load tightly using the partition and appropriate hooks, steel cables, ropes or chains strong enough to hold the items to be secured.
83) 84) 85) 86) 87) 88)
WARNING
83) If the vehicle is parked on a very steep
slope or side gradient, opening the rear flap of the flatbed or a side door may cause any objects or luggage which is not fixed to spill out.
84) If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol in a can, observe the legal restrictions and only use a can that is type-approved and properly secured to the load anchorage eyebolts. Anyway, by doing so, you increase the risk of fire in the event of an accident with your vehicle.
85) Respect the maximum permitted vehicle loads also shown on the registration certificate. The user is responsible for arranging goods in the luggage compartment and/or on the load platform within the maximum permitted loads.
75
Page 78
86) Do not carry unnecessary objects on the flatbed. Particularly if the vehicle is driven in cities, where frequent stopping and starting is necessary, supplementary loads on the vehicle may have major repercussions on fuel consumption. Furthermore, do not travel with unnecessary luggage, loads etc. on the roof: the increased air resistance will increase fuel consumption.
87) Using a lower gear when travelling with heavy loads will improve vehicle performance and extend the life of the gearbox, limiting gear shifts and overheating. This action ensures better exhaust braking.
88) All precautions must be adopted to prevent danger to other road users if the load protrudes beyond the contour of the vehicle. The rear and side protrusion must be indicated according to the laws in force in the country. The load must not compromise stability of the vehicle or cover lights, visual indicators or identifying plates. Poles, bars and similar loads which are difficult to see arranged horizontally must not protrude beyond the contour of the vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING
In order to tow a trailer with your vehicle, when having a trailer towing device mounted that meets all relevant regulations in your area, consult a Fiat Dealership.
Check that your towbar coupling ball does not obscure your vehicle’s licence plate when the trailer or caravan is disconnected. If it obscures the licence plate, please remove the towbar coupling ball. And if the towbar coupling ball is lockable by using a key or any kind of tools, please remove the coupling ball and use a towbar coupling ball which can be removed or repositioned without the use of a key or any kind of tools instead.
The regulations concerning the towing of a trailer may differ from country to country. You are advised to obey the regulations in each area.
NOTE If you are going to tow a trailer, pay careful attention to the following points.
89)
Maximum towable weight with brake and maximum trailernose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable weight with brake and the maximum trailer-nose weight as listed in the specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle weight”.
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than 1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight by 10 % of the gross combination weight for every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the engine output is lowered owing to decrease in atmospheric pressure.

Operating hints
Have your vehicle serviced prior to towing a heavy trailer, taking particular care of the state of engine tune, the condition of brakes, steering and tyres. Adjust tyre pressures to those specifications at trailer towing (refer to “tyre inflation pressure”). Check the tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the trailer.
Leave plenty of room between the front of your vehicle and the preceding vehicle. If the trailer begins to sway or becomes difficult to handle, gently slow down or apply the independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes. Stop the vehicle and trailer in a safe location. One cause of swaying is poor trailer balance and until this has been overcome the swaying will recur. Relocated the load in your trailer and re-assess the problem.
Be sure that the driving speed does not exceed 100 km/h for trailer operation.

engine more than is required when starting off.
To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
To make full use of engine braking, change to a lower gear before descending a slope.
The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be under additional strain when towing a trailer.
The heavier weight and higher rolling and air resistance will increase fuel consumption.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission
It is recommended a lower gear in sports mode on slopes or at low speed, taking care to keep the engine speed below the red zone.

96) Do not spray water or spill beverages inside the vehicle. If the switches, wires, or electrical components become wet, they could malfunction or cause a vehicle fire. If you accidentally spill a beverage, wipe up as much liquid as possible and immediately consult a Fiat Dealership.
97) Do not put a hanger or any heavy or pointed object on the coat hook. If the curtain airbag was activated, any such item could be propelled away with great force and could prevent the curtain airbag from inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on the coat hook (without using a hanger). Make sure there are no heavy or sharp objects in the pockets of clothes that you hang on the coat hook.
IMPORTANT
32) When the accessory socket is not in
use, be sure to close the lid, because the socket might become clogged by foreign material and be short-circuited.
33) Never leave lighters, canned carbonated beverage, and spectacles in the cabin when parking the vehicle in hot sunshine. The cabin will become extremely hot, so lighters and other flammable items may catch fire and unopened drink cans may rupture. Also, spectacles with plastic lenses or materials could deform or crack.
34) Put out matches and cigarettes before they are placed in the ashtray.
35) Always close the ashtray. If left open, other cigarette butts in the ashtray may be rekindled.
36) Be sure to use a “plug-in” type accessory operating at 12 V and at 120 W or less. When using more than one socket at the same time, make sure that the electrical accessories are 12 V accessories and that the total power consumption does not exceed 120 W.
37) Long use of the electric appliance without running the engine may run down the battery.
FUEL SELECTION
Recommended fuel: Cetane number (EN590) 51 or higher
38) 39) 40) 41)
NOTE For diesel fuel, due to the separation of paraffin, the fluidity decreases considerably as the temperature falls. Because of this fact there are two kinds of fuel: “summer” and “winter”. This must be considered in winter use. Select either of the two kinds of fuel in accordance with ambient temperature.
Above -5 °C: “Summer” diesel Below -5 °C: “Winter” diesel
When travelling abroad, find out in advance about the fuels served in local service stations.
Poor-quality diesel fuel can cause deposits to form in the injector, resulting in black smoke and rough idling.
If these problems occur, you are advised to add a cleaning additive to the diesel fuel when you refuel the vehicle. The additive will break up and remove the deposits, thereby returning the engine to a normal condition.
Be sure to use a FCA GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive could make the engine malfunction. For details, please contact your Fiat Dealsership.

Graphical expression for consumer information
Identifier for diesel-type fuels The symbol shown below helps you to
recognise the correct type of fuel to use in your vehicle. Before proceeding with refuelling, check the symbols inside the fuel filler flap (where provided) and compare them with the symbols shown on the fuel pump (where provided).
B7: Diesel fuel containing up to 7% (V/V) Fatty Acid Methyl Esters – Eg. EN 590 compliant diesel.
The diesel engine are compatible with B7 type diesel (containing 7% fatty acid methyl esters) conforming to European standards EN590.
42)
IMPORTANT
38) Diesel-powered vehicles to comply with
the Euro 4 and Euro 5 regulation are designed to use only diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard. Use of any other type of diesel fuel would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.
39) Your vehicle is designed to use only diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard. Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio diesel, methylester, etc.) would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.
40) For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel for motor vehicles in accordance with EN 590 European specifications. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused. If you accidentally introduce other types of fuel into the tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has been run for even an extremely limited amount of time, you must not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit as well.
41) If proper “winter” fuel is not used in winter, the diesel preheat indicator lamp may blink and the engine speed may not rise above the idling speed because of fuel freezing. In this case, keep the engine idling for approximately 10 minutes, then turn off the ignition switch or put the operation mode in OFF and immediately turn it on or put in ON again to confirm that the diesel preheat indicator lamp is off. Refer to “Diesel preheat indicator lamp”.
42) Do not use more than 7% concentration of fatty acid methyl esters (bio diesel) by volume. Use of more than 7% concentration would adversely affect the engine’s performance and durability.

5. To close, turn the fuel cap slowly clockwise until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel tank filler door closed.
WARNING
98) When handling fuel, comply with the
safety regulations displayed by garages and filling stations.
99) Fuel is highly flammable and explosive. You could be burned or seriously injured when handling it. When refueling your vehicle, always turn the engine off and keep away from flames, sparks and smoking materials. Always handle fuel in well ventilated outdoor areas.
100) Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to get rid of your body’s static electricity by touching a metal part of the vehicle or fuel pump. Any static electricity on your body could create a spark that ignites fuel vapor.
101) Perform the whole refueling process (opening the fuel tank filler door, removing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not let any other person come near the fuel tank filler. If you allowed a person to help you and that person was carrying static electricity, fuel vapor could be ignited.
102) Do not move away from the fuel tank filler until refueling is finished. If you moved away and did something else (for example, sitting on a seat) part-way through the refueling process, you could pick up a fresh charge of static electricity.
103) Be careful not to inhale fuel vapor. Fuel contains toxic substances.
104) Keep the doors and windows closed while refueling the vehicle. If they were open, fuel vapor could get into the cabin.
105) If the fuel cap must be replaced, use only a Fiat genuine part.
106) Since the fuel system may be under pressure, remove the fuel cap slowly. This relieves any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in the fuel tank. If you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, injuring you or others.
107) Do not apply any object/plug to the end of the filler which is not provided for the car. The use of non-compliant objects/plugs could cause a pressure increase inside the tank, resulting in dangerous situations.
108) Do not use a mobile phone near the refuelling pump: risk of fire.
109) Do not tilt the gun.
