SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near or on
some of the components of your vehicle. These labels bear
symbols that draw your attention to the precautions re­quired when handling the component in question.

A plate summarising these symbols can be found under the
engine bonnet.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine immobiliser system which in­creases protection against attempted theft of the vehicle.

It is automatically activated when the ignition key is ex­tracted.

Each key contains an electronic device which modulates
the signal emitted during starting by an antenna built into
the starting device. This signal is the ‘password’ which
changes at each starting and which the control unit uses
to recognise the key and enable starting.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key
to MAR, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recog­nition code to the engine management control unit to de­activate the immobiliser.

The code is only sent if the Fiat CODE system control unit
has recognised the code transmitted by the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat
CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine man­agement control unit.

If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised,

Some electrical devices (e.g. radio, central door locking
system, etc.) can operate.

❒

MAR: driving position. All electrical devices can oper­ate.

❒

AVV: engine starting (temporary position).

The starting device is fitted with an electronic safety sys­tem that, should the engine fail to start, forces you to turn
the ignition key back to STOP before repeating the start­ing operation.

When at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.

Disengagement

Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition
key to MAR.

REV COUNTER fig. 12

The rev counter shows the number of engine rpm.

WARNING The electronic injection control system grad­ually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is over­revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.

When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase in the rate.

This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate con­trol system or fan. In such cases, a slight increase in engine
idle speed helps to sustain the battery charge.

TRIP COMPUTER

General information

YOUR

The Trip computer is used to display information on ve­hicle operation when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips, called
“Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the vehicle’s „com­plete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally independent man­ner. Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new
journey).

TING

AND

“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:

– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed

IN AN

– Travel time (driving time).

“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used to
display the figures relating to:

– Distance travelled B

AND

– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).

N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be
reset.

INDEX

Values displayed

Range

Shows the approximate distance the vehicle can travel with
the amount of fuel left in the tank. The display will show
the reading “----” when the following events take place:

– range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a long

time.

WARNING The range can be affected by several factors:
driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting and dri­ving” section), type of route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pres­sures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above
into account.

Distance travelled

Shows the distance covered since the start of the new jour­ney.

Average consumption

Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since
the start of the new journey.

Current consumption

Shows the constantly updated fuel consumption. The read­ing “----” appears on the display if the vehicle is parked with
the engine running.

Average speed

Shows the average speed of the vehicle by using the over­all time elapsed since the start of a new journey.

28

Journey time

Shows the time elapsed since the start of a new journey.

WARNING If information is not available, the reading
“----” appears instead of the Trip computer values. Count­ing the different values will resume regularly when normal
operation condition is restored. This will not reset any
of the values displayed before the failure or start a new
journey.

TRIP control button fig. 18

The TRIP button, located on the top of the right steering
column lever, is used (with ignition key at MAR) to display
these values and reset them to start a new journey:

– press briefly to display the different values;

– hold down to reset and then start a new journey.

New journey

The new journey begins after:

– “manual” resetting by the user, by pressing the relevant
button;

– “automatic” resetting, when the distance travelled reach­es 99999.9 km or 9999.9 km (depending on the type of
display) or when the travel time reaches 99.59 (99 hours
and 59 minutes) or 999.59 (999 hours and 59 minutes) de­pending on the type of display fitted;

– disconnection/reconnection of the battery.

WARNING The reset operation when “Trip A” details
are being displayed only resets the information associat­ed with this function.

WARNING The reset operation when “Trip B” details are
being displayed only resets the information associated with
this function.

Start trip procedure

With the ignition key at MAR, reset by pressing the TRIP
button and holding it down for more than two seconds.

Exit Trip

To quit the Trip function, hold down SET ESC for more
than two seconds.

positions: normal or antiglare.

When driving, the mirrors should always
be in position A-fig. 36.

Because the door mirrors are curved, they slight­ly alter the perception of distance.

Manual selections will always take priority over automat­ic settings and will be stored until the user switches the
system back to automatic operation by pressing the
AUTO button again, except for when the system inter­venes for particular safety-related reasons. You can adjust
one function manually without affecting the automatic con­trol of the others.

The temperature of the air introduced is always controlled
automatically, depending on the temperature set in the dis­play (except when the system is off or in certain condi­tions when the compressor is switched off).

The system allows the following parameters and functions
to be set or altered manually: air temperature, fan speed
(continuous variation); air distribution in seven positions;
compressor enablement; fast defrosting/demisting func­tion; air recirculation; switching off the system.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

(for versions/markets, where provided)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The automatic climate control system adjusts the tem­perature, the quantity and the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment. The temperature control is based
on the “equivalent temperature”: in other words, the sys­tem continuously works to keep the comfort level inside
the vehicle constant and to compensate for possible vari­ations in outside conditions, including the solar radiation
detected by a dedicated sensor. The automatically con­trolled parameters and functions are:

❒

air temperature at the vents;

❒

air distribution at the vents;

❒

fan speed
(continuous air flow variation);

❒

compressor activation
(to cool/dehumidify the air);

❒

air recirculation.

All functions may be changed manually. In other words,
you may select one or more functions and change the pa­rameters as required. Automatic control of the manually
changed functions will be deactivated: the system will on­ly override your settings for safety related reasons (e.g.
risk of misting up).

During fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO), the word
FULL will disappear if the air distribution and/or flow rate
and/or activation of the compressor and/or recirculation
settings are changed. In this way, the functions will switch
from automatic to manual control until the AUTO button
is pressed again. With one or more functions turned on
manually, the adjustment of the intake air temperature con­tinues to be managed automatically, except with the com­pressor switched off: if this is the case, the temperature of
the air introduced into the passenger compartment can­not be lower than that of the outside air.

CONTROLS

Air temperature adjustment knob (I)

Turn the knob either clockwise or anticlockwise to in­crease or lower the temperature in the passenger com­partment.

The temperature set is shown on the display.
Turn the knob either all to the right or all to the left to

the extreme HI or LO position to turn the maximum heat­ing or maximum cooling functions on:

❒

HI Function (maximum heating):

select by turning the temperature knob clockwise over the
maximum value (32 °C).

USING THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM

The system can be started in different ways, but it is ad­visable to start by pressing the AUTO button and then
turning the knob to set the temperature required on the
display. The system will start running automatically in this
way and the set temperature will be reached as quickly
as possible. The system will adjust the temperature, the
quantity and the distribution of the air introduced into the
passenger compartment and will manage the recirculation
function and the air conditioning compressor engagement.
During fully automatic operation the only manual inter­vention required is the possible activation of the following
functions:

❒

Ò air recirculation, to keep it always on or off;

❒

Z to speed up demisting/defrosting of the front door
window glasses, rear door window glasses and door
mirrors.

During fully automatic system operation, you can change
the set temperatures, air distribution and fan speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change its settings to adjust to the new
requirements.

Air distribution buttons (B)

By pressing these buttons, it is possible to set one of the
5 possible air distributions manually:

▲

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

˙

Air flow to the centre and side dashboard diffusers to
ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.

▼

Air flow to the front and rear footwell diffusers.
Thanks to the natural tendency of hot air to rise up­wards, this distribution pattern allows the passenger
compartment to warm up as quickly as possible, pro­viding an immediate feeling of warmth.

˙▼Air flow distribution split between footwell diffusers

(hotter air) and central and side dashboard vents
(cooler air). This distribution mode is particularly use­ful in spring and autumn on sunny days.

▲▼Air flow distribution split between the footwell dif-

fusers and the windscreen and front side windows de­frosting/demisting diffusers. This allows an adequate
warming of the passenger compartment and prevents
the windows from steaming up.

The distribution set is shown by the corresponding LEDs
in the selected buttons coming on.

To restore automatic control of the air distribution after
a manual selection, press the AUTO button.

This function may be used to heat up the passenger com­partment exploiting the system potential to the maximum.
In this condition, the system stops controlling the tem­perature automatically and sets the air mixing to maximum
heating. The air speed and distribution are fixed.

In particular, if the heating fluid is not sufficiently hot, the
maximum fan speed does not come on straight away in or­der to limit the intake of insufficiently hot air into the pas­senger compartment.

All manual settings will be allowed when this function
is on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob anticlockwise and set the required temperature.

❒

LO function (maximum cooling):

select by turning the temperature knob anticlockwise un­der the minimum value (16 °C).

This function may be used to cool down the passenger
compartment exploiting the system potential to the max­imum. In this condition, the system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets the air mixing to max­imum cooling. The air speed and distribution are fixed. All
manual settings will be allowed when this function is on.

To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature
knob clockwise and set the required temperature.

The air recirculation works according to the following op­erating logic:

❒

override on (air recirculation always on), indicated by
the LED on the button G coming on and the symbol
í on the display;

❒

override off (air recirculation always off and intro­duction of outside air), indicated by the fact that the
LED in the button goes off and symbol êwill ap-
pear on the display.

These operating conditions are obtained by pressing air
recirculation button G in sequence.

WARNING The engagement of the air recirculation sys­tem makes it possible to reach the required heating or
cooling conditions faster.

It is however not advised to use it on rainy/cold days as
it would considerably increase the possibility of the win­dows steaming up, especially if the climate control com­pressor is off.

The recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is introduced from
the outside) when the the outside temperature is cold to
prevent misting up.

It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when
the outside temperature is low, because the windows
could rapidly steam up.

Memorizing vehicle speed

Proceed as follows:

❒

turn twist switch A-fig. 48 to ON and depress the ac­celerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the required
speed;

❒

move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised
and you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.

If necessary (when overtaking for instance) acceleration is
possible by simply pressing the accelerator pedal: releas­ing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the
speed memorised previously.

CRUISE CONTROL

(for versions/markets where provided)

This is an electronic driving aid that allows you to drive
at a speed of above 30 km/h on long and straight dry roads
with few driving changes (e.g. motorways) at a preset speed
without having to press the accelerator pedal. Therefore
it is not recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.

Switching the device on

Turn the twist switch A - fig. 48 to ON.
When the device is activated, the warning light Ü comes

on together with the relevant message in the instrument
panel (for versions/markets where provided).

The speed adjustment function cannot be activated in 1st
or reverse gear; it is advisable to activate the function in
4th or higher gears.

When travelling downhill with the device activated, the ve­hicle speed may exceed the memorised one.

Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight re­duction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
held downwards will correspond to a continuous speed
reduction.

Switching the device off

The device can be switched off by the driver in the fol­lowing ways:

❒

turning the twist switch A to the OFF position;

❒

switching off the engine.

Deactivating the function

The device can be de-activated by the driver in the fol­lowing ways:

❒

pressing the brake pedal when the device is adjusting
the speed;

❒

pressing the clutch pedal when the device is adjusting
the speed;

❒

pressing the button B – fig. 48 when the device is ad­justing the speed (for versions/markets, where pro­vided);

❒

pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case, the sys­tem is not really de-activated but the request for ac­celeration takes priority. The cruise control is, how­ever, active and you do not need to press button B ­fig. 48 to restore the previous conditions after accel­erating.

Restoring the memorized speed

If the device has been switched off, for example by press­ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorized speed can
be restored as follows:

❒

accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching
the memorised speed;

❒

engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo­rizing;

❒

press button B-fig. 48.

Increasing the memorized speed

This can be done in two ways:

❒

by pressing the accelerator and then memorizing the
new speed reached;

or

❒

by moving the lever upwards (+).

Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight in­crease in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
upwards will correspond to a continuous speed increase.

Reducing the memorized speed

This can be done in two ways:

❒

by turning the device off and then memorizing a new
speed;

or

❒

by moving the lever downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed, which will be memorized automatically.

HEADLIGHTS

LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION

The correct direction of the headlights is essential for the
comfort and safety of the driver and other road users.
To ensure the best visibility conditions when travelling with
the headlights on the headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR

This device works with the ignition key in the MAR posi­tion and the dipped headlamps on.

The vehicle tilts backwards when it is laden, raising the light
beam. The direction of the beam must therefore be ad­justed in this case.

After having travelled several kilometres,
check that the attachment retaining bolts

are still securely fastened.

WARNING

Never exceed the maximum permitted load
(see “Technical specifications”).

ABS SYSTEM

(for versions/markets where provided)

This is an integral part of the braking system, which pre­vents one or more wheels from locking or slipping re­gardless of the road surface conditions and braking action,
giving the best control during emergency braking.

The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution)
completes the system, allowing the braking action to be
distributed between the front and rear wheels.

WARNING For maximum efficiency of the braking sys­tem, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: dur­ing this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and pro­longed braking.

SYSTEM INTERVENTION

The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be al­tered to suit the type of road surface.

Headlamp alignment adjustment

To adjust, press buttons

Ò and  fig. 100 on the control

panel.

The display located on the instrument panel provides the
visual indication of the positions during the adjustment op­eration.

Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.

Position 1 – five people.

Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.

Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed in

the luggage compartment.

WARNING Check the light beam alignment every time
the load transported changes.

FOG LIGHT DIRECTION

(for versions/markets where provided)

Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD

The dipped headlamps are adjusted to work in the coun­try where the vehicle was originally purchased. When in
countries where you drive on the other side of the road,
you need to alter the light beam direction by affixing a spe­cially designed self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle the
vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. This film is
provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at Fiat Ser­vice Network.

When the ABS intervenes and you notice

the brake pedal pulsating, do not be afraid
to keep the pedal pushed down. This will help you
to stop in the shortest distance possible, depend­ing on the road conditions.

WARNING
