THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS …
…information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols
"
(personal safety) #(environmental protection)
(the car’s wellbeing).
SERVICE
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of the components of your Fiat Multipla. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.
The plate summarising the symbols used (A) can be found under the bonnet.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from attempted theft, it has been fitted with an electronic engine immobiliser (Fiat CODE) which 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 modulated 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 ignition key is removed from STOP, or PARK, the protection system will immobilise the engine.
When the key is turned to MAR at engine startup:
If the code is acknowledged warning light (A)
¢
on the instrument panel will flash briefly; the code system has acknowledged the key code and deactivates the engine immobiliser. When the key is turned to AVV, the engine starts up.
F0E0657m
F0E0379m
The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks.

If warning light ¢remains lit (together with
warning light Uon petrol engine versions only) the code is not acknowledged. Bring the key back to STOP then onto MAR again. If it still remains immobilised, try with another key.
If it is still not possible to start the engine, you will have to use the emergency procedure (see section “In an emergency”) and contact Fiat Dealership.
Starting up with ignition key at MAR:
If warning light
¢
comes on, it means that the system is making a self-test (e.g. for a voltage drop). The first time you stop you can test the system: switch off the engine turning the key to STOP; then turn to MAR again: warning light ¢comes on and should go out after about one second. If it remains alight, repeat the operations described above, leaving the key at STOP for more than 30 seconds.
If the problem persists, go to a Fiat Dealership.
If warning light
¢
flashes it means that the car is not protected by the immobiliser. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately and get them to store the codes of all the keys in the memory.
IMPORTANT The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks.
IMPORTANT Each key handed over with the car has its own code, different from all the others, which must be stored in the memory of the system’s control unit. To have new keys memorised (maximum seven) go to a Fiat Dealership taking with you all the keys in your possession, the CODE card, personal identification and car documents.

KEY WITHOUT REMOTE CONTROL
Key (A) (delivered in one copy only) is the one to be used normally for:
starting up
locking/unlocking the doors
locking/unlocking the fuel cap
deactivating the passenger’s airbag.
Key (B), with built-in remote control, performs the same functions as key (A) for cars fitted with door remote control and/or electronic alarm.

DUPLICATE KEYS
If you need extra keys, go to a Fiat Dealership and take all the keys and the CODE card with you. Fiat Dealership will store all the old and new keys (up to 7 keys) in the memory. Fiat Dealership may ask you to prove that you are the owner of the car.
The codes of any keys that are not handed over when the new storage procedure is carried out will be deleted from the memory to prevent any lost or stolen keys being used to start the car.
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS
The system can recognise up to 8 keys with incorporated remote control.
Should a new key with remote control be necessary, contact directly a Fiat Dealership, taking with you the CODE card, a personal identity document and the car’s ownership documents.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
If, when the remote control button is pressed, the led flashes only once or the instrument panel led (F) remains lit for about 2 minutes, change the batteries with others of the same kind: open the plastic case by inserting a screwdriver in slot (E). Insert the new batteries respecting the polarity and close the plastic case.

ELECTRONIC ALARM
The electronic alarm has the following functions:
central door locking/unlocking remote control;
perimetral surveillance, which picks up opened doors, bonnet and
tailgate;
volumetric surveillance, which picks up the movement of any intruders
inside the passenger compartment.
OPERATION
The electronic alarm of Fiat Multipla is controlled by the receiver located in the dashboard under the front right panelling. It is activated by the radio-frequency remote control built into the ignition key.
It will only work when the ignition key is removed from position STOP or PARK.
The electronic alarm control unit also includes the self-powered alarm siren; the siren may be deactivated.
To switch the electronic alarm on: press briefly the remote control button (C). You should hear a “beep” and the direction indicators switch on for about 3 seconds (in countries where legislation permits it). The warning led (F) inside the car will flash as long as the car alarm is on.
To switch the electronic alarm off: press the remote control button again. You will hear two “beeps” and the direction indicators will flash twice (in countries where legislation permits it).

To deactivate the volumetric surveillance: the volumetric protection function can be deactivated before activating the electronic alarm in this way: turn the ignition key from STOP and bring it in rapid succession onto MAR then back to STOP, after which, remove the key.
The led (F) on the instrument panel will light up for about 2 seconds to confirm that the sensors have been cut off.
To reactivate the volumetric protection (before enabling the electronic alarm) turn the key to MAR for more than 30 seconds.
If, however, the volumetric protection has been deactivated and you wish to operate one of the electronic controls managed by the ignition key in MAR (e.g. electric windows) turn the key to MAR, use the required electric control then bring the key back to STOP within 30 seconds. In this way the volumetric protection will not be reactivated.
To cut out the siren: press the remote control button for about 4 seconds when enabling the electronic alarm.
Five beeps will be heard which indicate that the siren has been disabled and the alarm has been enabled.
SELF-TEST
If when switching the car alarm on, you hear a “beep” followed after about one second by a shorter “beep”, check that the doors, bonnet and boot are all closed properly, then try switching the alarm on again. If the problem repeats, contact Fiat Dealership.
PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM
When your new car is handed over to you, the electronic alarm has already been programmed by the Fiat Dealership. Any subsequent programming should also be carried out by a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The electronic alarm operation is prepared according to the laws of the specific country. This operation is only to be carried out by a Fiat Dealership, to avoid damaging the electronic memory storage system.

WHEN THE ALARM IS TRIGGERED
When the system is on, the electronic alarm comes into action in the following cases:
One of the doors, the bonnet or the tailgate are
opened.
The battery is disconnected or the electronic alarm
power supply cables are cut.
Something moves in the passenger compartment
(volumetric surveillance).
The key is turned to MAR.
When the alarm is triggered, the siren sounds for about 26 seconds (for a maximum of 3 cycles at 6 second intervals if the cause of the alarm persists) and the direction indicators will flash for about 5 minutes (only in countries where legislation permits it).
Once the alarm situation has been resolved, the alarm system continues its surveillance. To cut off the alarm before this, press the remote control button.
HOW TO DEACTIVATE THE ALARM
To switch the alarm off, press the remote control button on the key.
In countries where admitted by law regulations, the system is preset for an emergency procedure to be carried out when the alarm does not turn off (due to flat remote control battery or system fault):
open the door after unlocking the lock with the key,
fit the key into the ignition switch,
turn the key to MAR.
To reactivate the alarm after the emergency procedure, turn the key to STOP and remove it. Then, press twice the remote control button: first press will re-align the system (this because the last operation for excluding the alarm was performed using the key and not the remote control), the second press will reactivate the alarm.
When using the key, if the remote control battery is flat the key led will flash once.
Flat battery condition is also indicated by the dashboard led glowing steadily for 2 minutes each time the alarm is deactivated.
In this event the key battery should be replaced by a new one of the equivalent type on sale c/o normal retailers.
If it is not possible to switch on the alarm with a new remote control battery, contact Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
IMPORTANT If the car is to remain inactive for a prolonged length of time (over three weeks) and security conditions permitting, it is advisable to operate central locking turning the key in the door lock to avoid engaging the alarm and draining the battery.

Use switch (C) to select the mirror (left, neutral, right) for adjustment.
Press any of the four directions on switch (D) located on the ceiling light.
Switch (E) electrically controls the movement of the folding mirrors from position 1 to position 2.
Electrically folding mirrors have a demisting device that comes on automatically when rear window heating is turned on.
The mirrors can tilt in both directions in the event of a collision.
To reset the mirror in the correct position, first set it in the fully closed position by keeping the control pressed until the mirror stops, then open it.
If the mirror is moved out of its position manually, it is possible to set it back to the correct position manually, although it is preferable to move it electrically. If the mirror is moved out of its position electrically, it is COMPULSORY to set it back electrically to its correct position.
If the open mirror makes it difficult to pass through narrow gaps, fold it from position 1 to position 2.

You are advised against using this facility for long periods, especially if there are many people in the car.
IMPORTANT Do not use the air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility of the windows misting inside.

FOOD BOX (where prvided)
The food box fitted on Fiat Multipla has a capacity of 8 litres which means that it can contain up to three one and a half litre bottles, equal to max.
4.5 kg distributed between the two boxes.
The box, that can be fitted either in front or rear the central seat, is insulated and can be used to cool or warm up the food box according to your needs. When using for cooling, a temperature difference of approximately 20°C can be achieved between the temperature inside the box and that of the passenger compartment after approximately one hour of operation. The lowest possible temperature that can be reached in any case is not lower than 8-10°C.
To prevent draining the battery charge, the system is connected to the electrical system via the ignition key. As a result, the box will only work when the engine is running.
You should remove perishables from the box if you leave the car parked for longer than two hours.
Switch to position 1 = to warm; position 2 = to cool.
If another food box is fitted, you can connect it to the 12 V outlet in the boot using the coil cable provided for the purpose. You are recommended to connect it only if strictly necessary in order to limit electric absorption.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM
IMPORTANT Proper adjustment of the headlight beams is of vital importance for your safety and comfort and also for the other road users. This is also covered by a specific law. 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.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT SLANT
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.
An electric adjuster (A) is fitted on the instrument panel.
Correct positions as a function of the load
Position 0 - up to three people on the front seats. Position 1 - up to six people. Position 2 - six people + max 130 kg load in the boot. Position 3 - driver + load stowed in the boot up to a maximum of 300 kg. Only for 4 or 5 seat VAN versions, the max. permissible load is
350 kg.
IMPORTANT To ensure the regulator works properly, make sure the load in the boot does not exceed the maximum values given in paragraph “Weights” in section “Technical Specifications”.

ABS SYSTEM (where provided)
If this is the first car with ABS you drive, get familiar with it by some preliminary “driving tests” on poor grip roadbeds, obviously under safety conditions and in compliance with the traffic regulations of the Country you are driving in. Read carefully the following instructions.
ABS is an integral part of the brake system that prevents the wheels from locking when braking, makes the most of road grip and gives the best control when emergency braking under difficult road conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action between front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum efficiency of the braking system, it is necessary a setting period of about 500 km: during this period, it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged brakes.
ABS INTERVENTION
You can tell when the ABS is working by slight throbbing of the brake pedal and the noise it makes: slow down to match your speed to the road grip.
ABS exploits the available road grip as fully as possible, but it cannot increase it; therefore prudence is always necessary on slippery surfaces: do not take unnecessary risks.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in the shortest amount of space possible under the current road conditions.
WARNING
If the ABS system cuts in it is a sign that the grip between the tyre and the road surface has reached the limit: slow down to match your speed to the road grip.

WARNING
If the low brake fluid warning light
x comes on together with the message on the
reconfigurable multifunction 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 change.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light
á
on the instrument panel, to inform 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.
WARNING
The performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road safety is always the driver’s responsibility.

FAILURE WARNINGS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is automatically disconnected and the instrument panel warning light (A) comes on together with the message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
During the use of the space-saver spare wheel, the ESP system carries on working. However, you must remind that the space-saver spare wheel presents dimensions smaller than the standard tyre and therefore its grip is reduced as to the other car tyres.
For correct operation of the ESP system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand and size specified.

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)
The ASR system is an integral part of the ESP system that controls the vehicle drive and cuts in automatically every time one or both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated:
if the slipping involves both the driving wheels, the ASR system
intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the engine;
if the slipping involves only one driving wheel, the ASR system cuts in
automatically braking the wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR is particularly helpful in the following circumstances:
slipping of the inner wheel due to the effect of dynamic load changes
or excessive acceleration;
too much power transmitted to the wheels also in relation to the
conditions of the road surface;
acceleration on slippery, snowy or frozen surfaces;
in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning).
Switching on/off of the ASR system
The ASR system switches on automatically each time the engine is started.
Switching on/off is indicated by the coming on of the switch led (A).

When travelling the ASR can be switched off and on again pressing switch (A) on the centre console.
When the ASR is off this is shown by the lighting up of the led on the switch.
If the ASR is switched off when travelling, it will turn on again automatically the next time the engine is started.
When travelling on snow with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the driving wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better drive.

The performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take pointless and unnecessary risks. The style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of the road surface, visibility an traffic. Road safety is always the driver’s responsibility.

EOBD SYSTEM
The European On Board Diagnostic system (EOBD) fitted to engine and automatic transmission (where provided) 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 controlWarn when a fault causes emission levels to increaseWarn 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 relevant message on the multifunction display, where provided).
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.

PARKING SENSORS (where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper to detect and inform the driver (through an intermittent acoustic signal) about the presence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
Sensors will activate automatically when engaging reverse gear.
The frequency of the acoustic alarm will increase as the distance between the car and the obstacle decreases.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is automatically activated (short beep to signal system activation).
The acoustic signal frequency:
increases with the reduction of distance between the car and the
obstacle;
becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops if the distance increases;
is constant if the distance is unvaried.
Detection distances:
Centre action range 150 cm
Corner action range 60 cm
Min/max range 25/180 cm
If several sensors signal an obstacle, the control unit checks and indicates the closest one.

FAILURE WARNINGS
In case of parking sensor failure, the driver is warned by a 3-seconds acoustic signal.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated automatically when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated automatically when removing the trailer cable plug.
GENERAL WARNINGS
When parking, take the utmost care to obstacles set
above or under the sensors.
Objects set close to the car front or rear part,
under certain circumstances are not detected and could therefore cause damages to the car or be damaged.
Indications sent by the sensors can be altered by
dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ultrasound systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneumatic hammers) set nearby the car.
For proper operation, the parking sensors shall be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent their damaging; do not use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be washed with clean water and car detergent, if required. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are always under the driver’s responsibility which shall always check the absence of people (specially children) or animals in the manoeuvre space. This system is just a help for the driver but she/he shall never reduce attention during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed at low speed.
