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.

The inner surface of the engine bonnet includes a label with the different symbols used.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine locking system which increases protection against attempted theft of the vehicle. It is automatically activated when the ignition key is extracted.

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

If, during ignition, the code is not correctly recognized, a warning light Y is lit on the instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR. Try with the other keys provided if the problem persists. If the engine will not start up after this operation, run the emergency start procedure (see chapter “In an emergency”) and then contact the Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system ECU. Contact the Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored with the code.

THE WARNING LIGHT (or symbol on the display) GOES ON DURING TRAVEL

❒ If the warning light

display) turns on, the system is running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop). The first time you stop the vehicle, turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR. If no failure is detected, the warning light Ydoes not light up.

❒ If the warning light

the display) remains steadily lit, repeat the procedure above leaving the key in the STOP position for over 30 seconds. If the problem persists, contact the Fiat Dealership.

❒ If the warning light

the display) stays on, the code is not acknowledged. In this case, return the key to STOP and then to MAR; try with the other keys provided if the problem persists. If the engine will not start up after this operation, run the emergency start procedure (see chapter “In an emergency”) and then contact the Fiat Dealership.

DEAD LOCK SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The dead lock system is a safety device which prevents door opening from inside the passenger compartment in case of an attempted break-in (e.g.: window breaking).

It is the best protection possible against attempted break-ins. We recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is parked and left unattended.

WARNING

Once the dead lock device

has been engaged, doors cannot be opened from the passenger compartment in any way. For this reason, make sure there are no persons left inside the vehicle.

WARNING

If the battery of the key with

remote control is down, the dead lock device can be activated only by fitting the metal insert of the key in both front door revolving plugs as described previously: in this case the dead lock device will stay engaged only on the rear doors.

Engaging the system

The system is automatically enabled on all the doors by double-pressing the button

positioned on the key with the remote

control.

The system has been successfully enabled when the direction indicators flash twice.

The system is not enabled if one or more than one door is not correctly locked. This prevents any person from getting into the vehicle from an open door, and locks him/her inside the passenger compartment when the door is closed.

Disengaging the system

The system is disabled automatically on every door in the following cases:

❒

when unlocking the doors;

❒

when turning the ignition key to MAR.

TECHNICAL

SPECIFICATIONS

INDEX

ALARM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

In addition to all the remote control functions described above, an alarm has been installed, which is controlled by a receiver unit located under the dashboard near the fuse box.

ALARM TRIPPING

The alarm trips in the following cases:

❒ when one of the doors or bonnet is

opened illegitimately (perimeter protection);

❒ when the ignition system is started up

(ignition key rotated to MAR);

❒ when the battery cables are cut;

❒ when someone is moving inside the

passenger compartment (volumetric protection);

❒ when the vehicle is unusually lift-

ed/tilted.

Depending on the markets where the vehicle is sold, alarm tripping causes either a siren or direction indicators to go on (for approx. 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and the number of cycles depend on the sales market.

Provision has been made for a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles, after which the system resumes its standard control function.

Volumetric and anti-lift protections are disabled by pressing the control button installed on the front dashboard (see paragraph “Anti-lift protections).

IMPORTANT The engine stop function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which is automatically activated when the ignition key is extracted from the starter device.

ENABLING THE ALARM

Keep the doors and bonnets closed and either turn the ignition key to STOP or remove it. Direct the key with the remote control towards the vehicle and press button

, then release it.

Excluding some versions for specific markets, the system produces a sound warning (beep) and enables door locking.

Before the alarm is enabled, a self-test is run. If a failure is detected, the system produces a new acoustic signal and shows a message on the display (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

If this is the case, disable the alarm by pressing button Æ, check correct locking of the doors, bonnet and boot, and enable the alarm again by pressing button

If a door or the bonnet is not correctly closed, it will be excluded from the testing by the alarm system.

If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the doors, bonnet and boot are correctly closed, a failure has occurred in system operation. Go to a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is engaged using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not enabled.

IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is configured in compliance with the regulations existing in the different countries.

VOLUME-SENSING/ ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION

To ensure correct operation of the protection, it is advisable to fully close the side windows.

If necessary, the function may be turned off (e.g. if animals are left in the car) by pressing key A-fig. 7, located on the front courtesy light before activating the alarm.

Function deactivation is indicated by the led located on the key flashing for a few seconds. If the volume-sensing/anti-lift protection is turned off, this must be repeated whenever the instrument panel is turned off.

SIGNALS IN THE EVENT OF ATTEMPTED BREAK-INS

Whenever a break-in is attempted, a warning light Y (or symbol on the display) starts blinking on the instrument panel (in some versions a message also appears on the display - see section “Warning lights and messages”).

DISABLING THE ALARM

To permanently disable the alarm (e.g. during prolonged vehicle shutdown), lock the vehicle by turning the metal insert of the key in the door lock. In this case, the car will not be protected by the alarm system, while the engine immobiliser function is ensured by the Fiat CODE system which is automatically activated when the key is removed from the ignition switch.

IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote control goes down or the system fails, the alarm is disabled by placing the key in the ignition system and rotating it to MAR.

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 8:

❒ STOP: the engine is off, the key can be

extracted, the steering is locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central door locking system, alarm, etc.) are enabled.

❒ MAR: driving position. All electrical de-

vices work regularly.

❒ AVV: engine start.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety system that forces the driver to return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the starting operation, if the engine does not start up.

F0T0039m

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engagement

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

Disengagement

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

WARNING

Never extract the key while

the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel would be locked as soon as the steering wheel is turned. This also applies to cases in which the vehicle is towed. Under no circumstances should after-market operations be carried out involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that could negatively affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-compliance with typeapproval requirements.

REV. COUNTER fig. 10

The rev counter shows the engine rpm.

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.

When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or sudden increase of the speed. 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 this case, a slow change in engine speed is used to protect the battery charge.

FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR

This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.

The warning light A-fig. 11 turns on to indicate that approximately 6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.

E - tank empty.

F - tank full (see the instructions provid-

ed in paragraph “Vehicle refuelling” in this section).

Do not travel when the fuel tank is almost empty, because this may jeopardize the catalyst.

IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning light A will blink to indicate a fault in the system. Go to a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

Under normal conditions, the needle should hover around the middle of the scale according to the working conditions of the vehicle.

C - Low engine coolant temperature.

H - High engine coolant temperature.

Turning on of the warning light B-fig. 11 (along with a message on the display) indicates that the coolant fluid temperature is too high. In this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the needle indicating the engine coolant temperature reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and con-

tact a Fiat Dealership.

TRIP COMPUTER

General features

The “Trip computer” is used to display information on vehicle operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function allows to define two separate trips called “Trip A” and “Trip B” for monitoring the “complete mission” of the vehicle (trip) in a reciprocally independent manner. Both functions are resettable (reset - start of new mission).

“Trip A” is used to display data relating to: – Range – Trip distance – Average consumption – Instant consumption – Average speed – Travel time (driving time).

“Trip B” is supplied on versions having a multifunctional display and is used to display data relating to:

– Trip distance B – Average consumption B – Average speed B – Travel time B (driving time). Note “Trip B” functions may be disabled

(see paragraph “Trip B on”). “Range” and “Instant consumption” cannot be reset.

TECHNICAL

SPECIFICATIONS

INDEX

Values displayed

Range

Indicates the travel distance left before the vehicle runs out of the fuel in the tank. The message “----” will appear on the display in the following cases:

– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)

– vehicle left parked with engine running for long.

IMPORTANT Changes of the range value can be affected by many factors: driving style (see paragraph “Driving style” in section “Starting and driving”), type of route (motorway, urban cycle, mountain roads, etc…), conditions of use of the vehicle (load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning must take into account the above notes.

Trip distance

Indicates the distance covered from the start of a new mission.

Average consumption

Represents the approximate average consumption from the start of a new mission.

Instant consumption

Indicates the fuel consumption. The value is constantly updated. The message “----” will appear on the display if the vehicle is parked with the engine running.

Average speed

Represents the vehicle average speed as a function of the overall time elapsed since the start of a new mission.

Trip time

Indicates the time elapsed since the start of a new mission.

IMPORTANT If information is not available, the message “----” will appear instead of the Trip Computer values. Counting of the different values will be resumed regularly when normal operation is restored. This will not cause any resetting of the values displayed before the failure nor starting a new mission.

HEADLIGHTS

DIRECTING THE BEAM

Correct direction of the headlights is essential for the comfort and safety of the driver and the other road users. To ensure the best visibility conditions during travel with the headlights on the vehicle must have beams aimed correctly. Contact the Fiat Dealership to have the headlights checked and properly adjusted.

HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE

This device works with the key at MAR and the dipped beam headlights on.

The vehicle slants backwards when it is loaded, raising the beam. The beams must therefore be directed again in this case.

fig. 92

F0T0037m

Headlight aiming device regulation

To adjust, press buttons Ò and fig. 92 on the control panel.

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

Position 0 - one or two passengers on

front seats.

Position 1 - five passengers.

Position 2 - five passengers + loaded

boot.

Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted

cargo in the boot.

IMPORTANT Check beam aiming whenever the weight of the load carried changes.

FOG LIGHT AIMING DEVICE

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Contact the Fiat Dealership to have the fog lights checked and properly adjusted.

REGULATING THE BEAMS ABROAD

Dipped beams factory adjustment depends on the country where the vehicle is purchased. In countries driving on the left, the beams are aimed by affixing a purposefully studied adhesive film in order not to dazzle the vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. This adhesive film is provided in Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at the Fiat Dealership.

INDEX

ABS SYSTEM

The vehicle 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 difficult road conditions.

The system is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action between front and rear wheels.

IMPORTANT To achieve maximum efficiency of the braking system, a runningin period of about 500 km is required. During this time, avoid sudden, repeated and prolonged braking.

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

Intervention of the ABS is detected by a slight pulsing of the brake pedal accompanied by noise: such an event indicates that you need to adjust your speed to the type of road on which you are travelling.

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 depending on the current road conditions.

WARNING

When the ABS trips, it means

that you are approaching the grip limit between tyres and road: slow down to exploit all the available grip.

WARNING

The ABS system exploits the

tyre-road grip at best, but it cannot improve it. Therefore, you should take great care when driving on slippery surfaces without taking unnecessary risks.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

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 in some versions) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

In the case, the braking system preserves its efficiency, but cannot rely on the extra potentials offered by the ABS system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

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 in some versions) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

WARNING

If warning light xonly lights

up on the instrument panel (with a message on the display in some versions), immediately stop the vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the braking system jeopardises the functionality of the braking system, either of the conventional type or with ABS.

BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistance integral with ESP)

(for versions/markets, 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 thus supporting the driver to obtain prompt and effective braking.

Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP system failure (indicated by warning light

switching on together with the message on the multifunction display, for versions/markets, where provided).

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.

ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability Program)

(for versions/markets, 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.

In addition to the ESP system, ASR system and Hill Holder, (for versions/markets, where provided) also the MSR system (adjusting the engine braking torque) and the HBA system (improving the braking force during emergency braking) are provided.

ESP SYSTEM ACTIVATION

The ESP system is automatically activated when the car is started and cannot be de-activated.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of failure, the ESP system is automatically disconnected, the warning light

, comes on with fixed light on the instrument panel, together with the message on the multifunction display (for versions/markets, where provided) (see section “Warning lights and messages”) and with the button led ASR OFF. In this case contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

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 and traffic. Road safety is always the driver’s responsibility.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM

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: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient of more than 5%, engine running, brake pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear other than reverse engaged;

❒

downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient of more than 5%, engine running, brake 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. 2 seconds in order to pass easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

After two 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 on of warning light * on the instrument panel with digital display and warning light

on the instrument panel with multifunction display (for versions/markets, where provided) (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

IMPORANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking brake therefore, never leave the car without having engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and engaged the first speed.

WARNING

For correct operation of the

ESP and ASR systems, 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)

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 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).

WARNING

For correct operation of the

ESP and ASR systems, 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.

MSR system (engine braking torque control)

It is an integral part of the ASR system that in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in providing torque to the engine thus preventing excessive driving wheel drive that, specially in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of stability.

Switching the system

on/off

The ASR system switches on automatically each time the engine is started.

When travelling, the ASR can be switched off and on again pressing button A - fig. 93 set on the dashboard.

fig. 93

F0M0317m

When the ASR is switched off this is shown by the lighting up of the led on the button and by relevant message on the multifunction display, for versions/markets, where provided.

If the ASR is switched off when travelling, it will turn on again automatically the next time the engine is started.

When travelling on snowy roads 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.

WARNING

The performance of the 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.

For correct operation of the ASR 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.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR system is automatically disconnected and

the warning light

will come with fixed light on the instrument panel together with the message on the multifunction display, for versions/markets, where provided, (see section “Warning lights and messages”). In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Traction Plus is a help with driving and setting off in poor grip conditions (snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the drive force to be evenly distributed over the same axle when both wheels are slipping.

In effect, Traction Plus acts by braking the wheels with poor grip (or those slipping more than the others), thereby transferring the drive force to those which have more grip on the ground.

This function can be turned on manually by pressing the T+ button located in the dashboard (fig. 94) and operates

below a threshold of 30 km/h. When this speed is exceeded, it is automatically deactivated (the LED in the button remains on) and it is reactivated as soon as the speed goes below the level of 30 km/h.

fig. 94

F0M0311m

Traction Plus operation

The system is deactivated when starting up. To activate the Traction Plus system, press the T+ button (fig. 94): the LED in the button will come on.

The activation of the Traction Plus system involves the following functions being switched on:

❒ inhibition of the ASR function, in order

to fully exploit the engine torque;

❒ differential lock effect on the front ax-

le, via the braking system, to improve drive on uneven surfaces.

If this is a problem with the Traction Plus system the warning light

in the instru-

ment panel will come on constantly.

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of emission-related components of the vehicle. It also alerts the driver, by switching on of the warning light U on the instrument panel (together with relevant message on the display in some versions) when these components are no longer in peak conditions (see section “Warning lights and messages”).

The objective of this system is:

❒ to keep the system efficiency under

control;

❒ to warn about increased emissions due

to a vehicle malfunction;

❒ to warn of the need to replace deteri-

orated components.

The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the error codes stored in the control unit together with a series of specific parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.

This check can also be carried out by the traffic police.

IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the system completely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.

WARNING

Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if warning

light Udoes not light up when the key is turned to MAR or if, during travel, the warning light comes on either steady or blinking (along with a message on the display). The operation of the warning light U may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Follow the laws in force in the country where you are driving.

PARKING SENSORS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 95 and their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of obstacles behind the vehicle.

ACTIVATION

The sensors are automatically activated when the reverse gear is engaged.

As the obstacle behind the vehicle comes closer to the bumper, the buzzer becomes more frequent.

fig. 95

F0T0211m

BUZZER WARNING

When reverse gear is engaged, an intermittent buzzer automatically turns on (a short beep to indicate the activation of the system).

The beep:

❒ becomes louder as the vehicle goes

closer to the obstacle;

❒ becomes continuous when the distance

between the vehicle and the obstacle is inferior to 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance increases;

❒ is constant if the distance between the

vehicle and the obstacle does not change.

Detection distances

Central operating range 120 cm

Side operating range 60 cm

If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest one.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

Any failure of the parking sensors is indicated when engaging reverse gear by a beep lasting 3 seconds.

The sensors must be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice in order to work correctly. Be

careful not to scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. Wash the sensors with clean water with the addition of car shampoo, if necessary. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.

GENERAL WARNINGS

❒ When parking, take the utmost care to

obstacles that may be set above or under the sensors.

❒ Objects located near the vehicle back,

under certain circumstances, are not detected and could therefore cause damage to the vehicle or become 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) near the vehicle.

❒ For correct parking sensor operation

the swing-doors must be closed. Open swing-doors may produce incorrect indications by the system. The rear doors must always be closed.

WARNING

The driver is fully responsible

for parking operations and other dangerous manoeuvres. Make sure that no-one is standing in the area, especially children or animals. Parking sensors are designed to assist drivers, who must always pay the utmost attention during potentially dangerous manoeuvres even if they are performed at low speed.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES INSTALLATION

Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle by after-market service must carry the following label:

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving devices provided that they are installed by a specialised centre according to rules of good engineering practice in compliance with the manufacturer’s indications.

IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices are installed which imply modifications of the vehicle features. This may also cause the warranty to become null and void in relation to faults caused by the change or related to the change either directly or indirectly.

Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES

Radio transceiver equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio and similar equipment) shall not be used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.

IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the passenger compartment (without separated aerial) produces radio-frequency electromagnetic fields which, amplified by the resonance effects inside the passenger compartment, may cause malfunctioning of the electrical systems installed on the vehicle. This could compromise safety in addition to constituting a potential hazard for the passengers.

In addition, transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body.

As concerns officially EC-approved mobile phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the mobile phone.

VEHICLE REFUELLING

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only with octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small amount or in an emergency, as this would damage the catalyst beyond repair.

DIESEL ENGINES

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent anomalous operation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type and arctic type (cold, mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel whose features are not suitable to the temperature of use, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions shown on the container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the tank before the fuel.

When using or parking the vehicle for a long time in the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using locally available fuel.

In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

For diesel engines, use diesel fuel for motor vehicles compliant with EN590 European

specifications only. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of warranty in relation to the damage caused. If you accidentally introduce other types of fuel in the tank, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has run also for a very short time, you will need to have the entire fuel feed system emptied in addition to the tank.

REFUELLING CAPACITY

To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the pump switches off. Further topups could cause faults in the fuel feeding system.

The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is therefore entirely normal.

Do not place free flames or lit cigarettes near to the fuel filler: this may pose a risk of

fire. Keep your face away from the fuel filler to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following:

❒ three-way catalytic converter;

❒ Lambda sensors;

❒ fuel evaporation prevention system.

In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one or more spark plugs disconnected.

The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:

❒ oxidising catalytic converter;

❒ exhaust gas recirculation system

(E.G.R.);

❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where

provided).

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter integral with the exhaust system that physically traps carbon particles present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.

The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to eliminate particulates almost totally in compliance with current / future law regulations. During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then calculate the amount of particles trapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles. The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the conditions of use of the vehicle.

During the regeneration procedure, the following situations may occur: limited increase of idle speed, activation of electric fan, limited increase of smoke, high temperatures at the exhaust. These events must not be considered as a malfunctioning: they do not impair vehicle behaviour and the environment. If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to section “Warning lights and messages”.

The reel may block when the vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. In addition, the reel mechanism blocks the belt whenever it is pulled and in the event of brisk braking, collisions and on high speed bends.

WARNING

Remember that in the event

of a violent collision, rear seat passengers that do not wear the seat belt both pose a risk for their safety and represent a serious danger for the front seat passengers.

PRETENSIONERS

To increase the efficiency of the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event of a violent front and side crash, rewind the seat belts a few centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt perfectly adheres to the wearer before the restraining action begins.

The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has tripped; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even when guiding it manually.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioning device, wear the seat belt keeping it firmly close to the chest and pelvis.

A small amount of smoke may be produced. This smoke is in no way toxic and presents no fire hazard.

The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or greasing. Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates its efficiency. If due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.) the device has been affected by water and mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

WARNING

The pretensioner can only be

used once. Go to a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced after is has been deployed. The expiration date of the device is shown on the label in the oddment compartment. Refer to the FIAT Dealership when it is time to replace the device.

Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a

maximum of 6 hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.

LOAD LIMITERS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

To increase passengers’ safety in the event of an accident, the front and rear seat belt reels (for versions/markets, where provided) have been provided with a load limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt restraining action in the event of a front crash.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring that all the other vehicle passengers also respect) the local laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before starting off.

Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant women: wearing the seat belt significantly reduces the risk for both the expectant mother and the baby in the event of an accident. Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes under the abdomen (see fig. 4).

fig. 5

F0T0004m

IMPORTANT The belt must not be twisted. The upper part must cross the shoulder and the chest diagonally. The lower part must fit the hips (as shown in fig. 5) rather than the abdomen of the passenger. Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to hold the seat belt away from your body.

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. Always fasten the seat belts on both the front and the rear seats. Travelling without seat belts fastened increases the risk of serious injuries or even death in the event of a crash. Under no circumstances should the seat belt and pretensioner components be removed or tampered with. All interventions must be performed by qualified and authorised personnel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.

fig. 6

F0T0005m

IMPORTANT Each seat belt may only be used by a single person: do not carry children on your lap with one seat belt protecting both fig. 6. In general, do not place any objects between the person and the belt.

WARNING

If the belt has been subject-

ed to heavy stress, for example after an accident, it should be changed completely together with the anchors, anchor fastening screws and the pretensioners. In fact, even if the belt has no visible defects, it could have lost its resilience.

SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE

Observe the following:

❒ always use the belt with the tap well

stretched and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments;

❒ replace the belt after an accident of a

certain severity even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the belt if the pretensioners were deployed.

❒ To clean the belt, wash by hand with

water and mild soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Do not use strong detergents, bleach, paints or any other substance which could damage the belt fibres.

❒ Keep the reels dry: correct operation

may only be ensured if the reels are dry.

❒ Replace the seat belt when showing sig-

nificant wear or cut signs.

INDEX

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY

For optimal protection in the event of a crash, all passengers must be seated and wear adequate restraint systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.

A child’s head is larger and heavier in proportion to his/her body and the child’s muscular and bone structures are not fully developed. For this reason, they require restraint systems which are different from those used by adults to protect them in the event of an accident.

The research results in relation to the best protection for children is illustrated in European standard CEE-R44 which divides the restraint systems into five groups in addition to making their use compulsory:

Group 0 up to 10 kg in weight

Group 0+ up to 13 kg in weight

Group 1 9-18 kg in weight

Group 2 15-25 kg in weight

Group 3 22-36 kg in weight

As it may be noted, the groups overlap partly and, in fact, in commerce it is possible to find devices that cover more than one weight group.

All restraint devices must bear the typeapproval data along with the control mark on a label that must be firmly secured to the child seat and must never be removed.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems, children are considered as adults and have to wear the standard seat belts.

Lineaccessori Fiat includes child restraint systems for each weight group. These devices are recommended as they have been specifically designed for Fiat cars/vehicles.

SEVERE DANGER: Do not

arrange child seats facing backwards on the front seat if the passenger’s airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag in

the event of a shock could cause fatal injuries to the baby. It is advisable to carry children on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of an accident. Child seats must not be fitted on the front seat of vehicles provided with a passenger’s airbag, whose deployment in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of how severe the shock causing airbag deployment is. If necessary, children can sit on the front seat in vehicles where the passenger’s airbag can be disabled. Verify that the airbag is actually deactivated, observing the warning light

“

on the dashboard (see “Front airbag

- passenger’s side” in paragraph “Front airbags”). Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child seat and the dashboard.

fig. 7

F0T0006m

GROUP 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp deceleration.

The cradle is restrained by the vehicle seat belts, as shown in fig. 7 and in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.

fig. 8

F0T0007m

GROUP 1

From 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing forwards seated on child seats fitted with a front cushion. With these seats the vehicle seat belt is used to restrain both child and seat, fig. 8.

❒ While travelling, do not let the child sit

incorrectly or release the belts.

❒ Never carry children on your lap, even

newborns. No-one can hold a child in the event of an accident.

❒ In the event of an accident, replace the

child’s seat with a new one.

WARNING

Do not arrange child seats on

the front seat in vehicles fitted with a passenger’s airbag. Children must never travel on the front seat.

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY SETUP

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Provision has been made on the vehicle for mounting a Universal Isofix child restraint system, a new European standardised system for carrying children safely.

Isofix systems can be mounted simultaneously with a traditional restraint system.

An example of child seat is shown in fig. 11. The Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group: 1.

The other weight groups are covered by specific Isofix child seats, which can be used only if specifically designed, tested and type-approved for this vehicle (see vehicle list provided with the child seat).

FRONT AIRBAGS

The vehicle is provided with front airbags for the driver and the passenger (for versions/markets, where provided).

FRONT AIRBAGS

The front airbags on both the driver’s and passenger’s side (for versions/markets, where provided) have been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the bag between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.

Non-deployment of the airbags in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate in the event of a front crash.

The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between the front occupant’s body and the structures which could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.

Driver and passenger front airbags (for versions/markets, where provided) are not a replacement of, but complementary to, the seat belts, which you are recommended to always wear as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.

In the event of a collision, a person not wearing the seat belt may be thrown forward and come into contact with the bag before it has fully opened. The protection offered by the bag is reduced in such a case.

Front airbags may not be activated in the following situations:

❒ in front collisions against highly de-

formable objects which do not affect the front surface of the vehicle (e.g. bumper collision against guard rail, etc.);

❒ vehicle penetration under other vehi-

cles or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);

they could not provide any additional protection compared with seat belts, so their deployment would be improper. In these cases non-deployment of the airbag does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

WARNING

Do not apply stickers or oth-

er objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard (in passenger side airbag area) and on the seats. Do not place objects (e.g. cell phones) on the passenger’s side dashboard because these could interfere with correct deployment of the passenger’s airbag and cause severe injury to vehicle occupants.

The front airbags on the driver’s and passenger’s sides are designed and calibrated to protect the front seat passengers who wear safety belts.

The volume of the front airbags at max. inflation fills most of the space between the steering wheel and the driver and between the dashboard and the passenger.

The airbags are not deployed in the event of front collisions of low severity (for which the withholding action of the seat belts is sufficient). Safety belts must always be worn. In the event of a front crash they ensure the correct positioning of the occupant.

FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 14

It consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.

FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER’S SIDE fig. 15

(for versions/markets, where provided)

It consists of an instant-inflating bag contained into a special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a bigger volume than that of the driver.

WARNING

Do not arrange child seats

facing backwards if the passenger’s front airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag in the event of an accident could

cause fatal injuries to the baby. Always deactivate the passenger’s airbag when placing a child seat on the front seat. Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child seat and the dashboard. Although this is not mandatory by law, the airbag should be immediately reactivated when children are no longer carried to ensure better protection to adults.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER’S SIDE AND SIDE BAG FOR BREAST/PELVIS PROTECTION

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front seat, the passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag for breast and pelvis protection (for versions/markets, where provided) must be deactivated.

The warning light

“

on the instrument panel stays on steady until reactivating the passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag (for versions/markets, where provided).

IMPORTANT To deactivate the passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag (for versions/markets, where provided), refer to paragraphs “Digital display” and “Multifunctional display” in section “Dashboard and controls”.

SIDE BAGS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Some versions have front side bags on both the driver’s and passenger’s sides.

Side bags protect vehicle occupants from side crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the bag between the occupant and the internal parts of the side structure of the vehicle.

Non-deployment of side bags in other types of collisions (front collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate in the event of a frontal crash. The bags inflate instantaneously placing themselves between the front occupant’s body and the structures which could cause injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.

fig. 16

F0T0180m

Side bags are not a replacement of, but complementary to, the seat belts, which you are always recommended to wear, as specified by law in Europe and in most non-European countries.

For this reason, the seat belt must be worn at all times. During side collisions the seat belts hold the occupant in the correct position and prevent ejection from the vehicle during very violent collisions.

SIDE BAGS fig. 16

(for versions/markets, where provided)

It consists of an instant-inflating bag housed in the front seat backrest. It protects the chest and the hips of the passengers in the event of side crashes of medium-high severity.

IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash, the system provides best protection if the passenger sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allowing correct side bag deployment.

IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing stations).

GENERAL WARNINGS

The front airbags and/or side bags (for versions/markets, where provided) are deployed also if the vehicle is subject to strong collisions involving the underbody area, such as violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the vehicle in big holes or sags in the road.

A small amount of dust will be released when the airbags are deployed. The dust is not harmful and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. Furthermore, the surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the vehicle may be covered with residual dust. This dust may irritate the skin and the eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in the event of exposure.

Should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices is activated, take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to have the deployed devices replaced and to have the system integrity checked.

All checking, repair and replacement operations concerning the airbags must only be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.

If the vehicle is scrapped, have the airbag system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle is sold to a new owner, the new owner must be informed on how the airbags work along with the above warnings, and also be given this “Owner Handbook”.

Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags are deployed differently according to the type of collision. Non-deployment of one of these devices does not therefore indicate a system fault.

WARNING

If the warning light ¬ does

not turn on or if it stays on when travelling (together with the message on the multifunctional display, where provided) when turning the key to MAR, there could be a failure in the restraint systems. If this is the case, the airbags or pretensioners do not trigger in the event of an impact or, in a minor number of cases, they may trigger accidentally. Do not drive the vehicle and contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system immediately checked.

WARNING

The expiry dates of the py-

rotechnic charge and spiral contact are shown in the plate installed inside the oddment compartment. When these dates are near, go to the Fiat Dealership for replacement of these components.

WARNING

Do not travel holding objects

on your lap, opposite the breast, holding a pipe, pencil, etc. in your lips. Airbag deployment after a collision could cause serious damage/injury.
