READ THIS CAREFULLY!
REFUELLING
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor
vehicles conforming to the European specification
EN 590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, depending
on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Diesel engines: Turn the ignition key to MAR
and wait for the warning light to go out.
Turn the ignition key to AVV and release as soon
as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material as this constitutes a fire
hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement
and check that the electrical system of the
vehicle can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring the
vehicle stays in tip-top condition and retains its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER'S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for
correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your vehicle over time. Particular attention
should be paid to information marked with the
following symbols: (personal safety),
(environmental protection), (car integrity).

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 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.

DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This security device prevents the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger compartment
if there has been a break-in attempt (e.g. a window
has been broken).
Dead lock therefore offers the best possible
protection against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever the vehicle is
parked and left unattended.
WARNING
Once the dead lock system is engaged it
is
impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before engaging the system
please therefore check that there is no one left
on board.

ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the previously described
remote control functions, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse
box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
❒ unauthorised opening of a door, the bonnet, the
tailgate or a sliding side door (if present)
(perimeter protection)
❒ unauthorized operation of the starting device (key
turned on using a key that is not enabled)
❒ cutting of the battery leads
❒ moving presence inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection)
❒ anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and
the number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
Volumetric and antilifting protections are disabled by
pressing the control button installed on the front
dashboard (see paragraph "Antilift protections).

The instrument background colour and type may
vary according to the version.
SPEEDOMETER (speed indicator)
This shows the speed of the vehicle fig. 8.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter fig. 9 shows the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
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 engine
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 the fan. In these cases, a gradual
variation in revs is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
Warning light A fig. 10 switches on to indicate that
6 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in paragraph "Vehicle
refuelling" in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty to prevent
damaging the catalytic converter.

General features
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
SAFETY
separate trips, called "Trip A" and "Trip B", for
monitoring the "complete mission" (journey) of the
vehicle in a reciprocally independent manner. Both
functions can be reset (start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the values relating to:
❒ Outside temperature (for versions with outside
temperature sensor and methane-powered
vehicles)
❒ Range
❒ Distance travelled
❒ Average consumption
❒ Current consumption
❒ Average speed
❒ Travel time (driving time).
"Trip B", available on multifunction display only, is
used to display the values relating to:
❒ Distance travelled B
❒ Average consumption B
❒ Average speed B
❒ Travel time B (driving time).
INDEX
“Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset.
Values displayed
Range
This indicates the distance which may be travelled
with the fuel in the tank assuming that driving style
does not change. 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.
IMPORTANT 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
This value shows the distance covered from the start
of the new journey.
26
Page 28
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel
consumption from the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
Indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The message “----” will appear
on the display if the car is parked with the engine
running.
Average speed
This value shows the average speed of the vehicle
based on the overall time elapsed since the start of
the new journey.
Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information, the Trip
computer displays "----" in place of the value. When
normal operating conditions are restored, the
counting of the various values is resumed, without
either zeroing the values displayed prior to the
problem, or starting a new journey.
ControlTRIP button
The TRIP button, located on the right hand lever fig.
15 allows you to view the previously described
values as well as zero them to begin a new mission
when the ignition key is in the MAR position:
❒ press briefly to display the different values;
❒ long push to reset and then start a new journey.
New mission
This begins after a reset:
❒ “manual” resetting by the user, by pressing the
relevant button;
❒ automatically when the distance travelled reaches
9,999.9 km (miles) or when the journey time
reaches 99.59:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes);
❒ disconnection/reconnection of the battery.

ABS SYSTEM
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 intensity, giving the best control during
emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system, allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT 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.
WARNING
If the ABS cuts in, it is a sign that the
gr
ip between tyre and the road surface
has reached t he limit: you must slow down to
match the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
av

you should t herefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.

your foot, but keep the pedal pushed down; in
doing so you, will stop in the shortest distance
possible under the road conditions at the time.

ASR SYSTEM (Anti-Slip Regulation)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a traction control system that cuts in
automatically every time one or both drive wheels
slip.
Depending on how slippery the road is, 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 only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking the
wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is especially useful in
the following conditions:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel round bends due to
dynamic variations in the load of excessive
acceleration;
❒ excessive power transmitted to the wheels, also in
relation to road surface conditions;
78
Page 80
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy road
surfaces;
❒ in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface
(aquaplaning).
WARNING
For the correct operation of the ESP and
A
SR systems, the tyres must be t he
same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size recommended.
The switching off is shown by the LED in the actual
switch coming on together with a message shown
in the multifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided).
If the ASR is switched off when driving, it is
automatically switched on again when the vehicle is
started up.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it
may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, the driving wheels skidding when moving
off gives you better traction.

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 fig. 91 on the dashboard and works
below a level of 30 km/h. Over this speed, it is
automatically deactivated (the LED on the button is
still on) and it is reactivated again when the speed
is below 30 km/h.

Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when starting up. To
activate the "Traction Plus" system, press the button
(T+ fig. 91): the LED on the button switches 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;
❒ the differential locking effect on the front axle,
through the braking system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the "Traction Plus" system is faulty, the "general
failure" instrument panel warning light
comes on
steady.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
allows continuous diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle. It also alerts the driver,
by turning on instrument panel warning light
(together with the relevant message in the
display, on some versions), when these components
are no longer in peak condition (see “Warning
lights and messages” section).
The aim of the system is to:
❒ monitor system efficiency;
❒ warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle
malfunction;
❒ to warn of the need to replace deteriorated
components.
The system also has a connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate equipment, 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 traffic police.
IMPORTANT After resolving the problem, to check
the system completely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged
to run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may call for a long journey.

REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
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 defective 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 specifications are not suitable for the usage
temperature, 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 diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications.The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the
warranty, depending on the damage caused.
If you accidentally introduce other types of fuel
into the tank, do not start the engine. Empty the
tank. If the engine has 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

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral to the exhaust system, that physically traps
carbon particulates present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.
It is needed to eliminate almost all particulates in
compliance with current/future legislation. 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 how
much particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should
be regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by
burning the carbon particles. The regeneration
procedure is controlled automatically by the engine
management control unit according to the filter
conditions and vehicle use conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a
limited increase in the engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle
performance or damage the environment. If

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to
the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
The reel may lock up when the vehicle is parked on a
steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden braking, collisions
and high-speed bends.
All rear seats are fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of the front seat
belts, the vehicle is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a violent head-on crash or
side impact, rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.
In this way, they ensure that the belts fit tightly to
the wearer before the restraining action begins.
The seat belt reel locks to indicate that the
pretensioner has cut in; the seat belt cannot be
drawn back up even when guided manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioners,
wear the seat so it fits snugly over the chest and
hips.
A small amount of smoke may be produced when the
pretensioners cut in. This smoke is not toxic and
does not indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or lubrication. 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 absolutely
must be replaced.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring
that all the other passengers also respect) the local
laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always
fasten the seat belts before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by expectant mothers:
the risk of injury in the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt. Pregnant women must position
the lower part of the belt very low down so that
it passes over the hips and under the abdomen (see
fig. 99).
IMPORTANT The belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must cross the shoulder and the chest
diagonally. The lower part must fit over the hips (as
shown in fig. 100) 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
y
our 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 will increase the risk of
severe injury and even death in the event of an
accident.
WARNING
Never disassemble or tamper with the
seat
belt or pretensioner components.All
operations must be performed by qualified and
authorised personnel.Always go to a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Each seat belt must be used by only
one person. Never travel with a child sitting on the
passenger's lap and a single belt to protect them
both fig. 101. In general, do not place any objects
between the person and the belt.
WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to heavy
s
tress, for example after an accident,
it should be changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws and the
pretensioner. In fact, even if the belt has no
visible defects, it could have lost it s resilience.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimum protection in the event of a crash, all
passengers must be seated and wearing 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.
Compared with an adult, 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
Regulation ECE-R44 which divides the restraint
systems into five groups in addition to making their
use compulsory:
Group Weight range
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
As you can see, the groups overlap partly and, in fact,
there are devices on sale that cover more than one
weight group.
96
Page 98
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight
group. These devices are recommended, having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.
WARNING
DANGER: Do not put cradle seat s facing

Deployment of t he air bag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the child.
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 with a
passenger air bag; their deployment in
an accident, however serious, could cause fatal
injuries to the child. If necessary, children can
travel in the front seat, if the front passenger air
bag can be disabled. In this case, check that
the air bag is actually deactivated by making
sure the “ warning light appears on the
instrument panel (see “Front passenger air bag”
in the “Front air bags” section). Also, the
passenger seat should be as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards
on a cradle seat, which, by supporting the head,

The cradle is restrained by the vehicle seat belts, as
shown in fig. 102 and, in turn, it must restrain the

WARNING
Some child restraint systems for weight
groups
0 and 1 have a rear attachment
to the car seat belts and their own seat belts for
securing the child. Due to their weight, they
may be dangerous if incorrectly mounted (e.g.
if fastened to the vehicle seat belts placing a

GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg can be secured using the
car seat belts directly fig. 104.
The child seat is needed only to position the child
correctly with respect to the belts so that the
diagonal section crosses the child's chest and never
the neck, and the lower part is snug on the hips
not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg to 36 kg, the size of the
child's chest no longer requires a support to distance
the child's back from the back of the seat.
The figure fig. 105 shows proper child seat
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.
