These plates bear symbols that draw your attention to the precautions required when handling the component in question. 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 removed. The plate summarising the symbols used can be found under the bonnet, fig. 2. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES OPERATION Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the engine control unit to deactivate the immobiliser. IN AN EMERGENCY The acknowledgement code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the key. MAINTENANCE AND CARE Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the engine management control unit. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS If the code is not recognised correctly during ignition, the Y warning light comes on on the instrument panel together with a specific message on the display (see “Warning lights and messages”). INDEX 4 An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulated signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the “password”, by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine. fig. 2 F0N0002m In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MARON; if the lock persists, try again with the spare set of keys. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine. THE KEYS IMPORTANT Each key has its own code which must be stored by the system electronic control unit. Contact the Fiat Dealership to have new keys (up to eight) stored with the code. The vehicle is delivered with two copies of the ignition key and with the CODE card which bears the following: Warning light Y coming on when driving ❒ If the warning light Y turns on, this means that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for example due to a voltage drop). KNOWING YOUR CAR CODE CARD Fig. 3 A the electronic code; B The mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Dealership when ordering duplicate keys. IMPORTANT In order to ensure complete efficiency of the electronic devices inside the keys, they should never be exposed to direct sunlight. ❒ If the warning light Y stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

INDEX 9 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 10 ELECTRONIC ALARM (for versions/markets where provided) There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached the system returns to normal operation. The alarm, in addition to all the remote control functions described previously, is controlled by the receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse box. IMPORTANT The engine lock function is guaranteed by the Fiat CODE, which is automatically activated when the ignition key is extracted from the starter device. ALARM TRIPPING TURNING THE ALARM ON The alarm intervenes in the following cases: With the doors and bonnet closed and the ignition key either turned to STOP or removed, point the key with the remote control towards the vehicle and press and release the lock button. ❒ when one of the doors or bonnet is opened illegitimately (perimeter protection); ❒ when the ignition system is started up (ignition key rotated to MAR-ON); ❒ when the battery cables are cut. 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. Excluding some markets, the system produces an acoustic warning (beep) and enables door locking. The switching on of the alarm is preceded by an selfdiagnosis stage: if a fault is detected, the system produces another acoustic signal. In this case, turn the alarm off by pressing the “release doors/release load compartment” button, check that the doors and bonnet are properly closed and turn the alarm back on by pressing the lock button. If a door or the bonnet is not properly shut, it will be excluded from the testing by the alarm system. If the alarm produces an acoustic signal even when the doors and bonnet are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in the operation of the system. Contact 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 The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various countries. TURNING THE ALARM OFF Press the door release/load compartment release button on the key with remote control. The following operations are performed (excluding some markets): ❒ the direction indicators turn on shortly twice; ❒ two short beeps are produced by the warning buzzer; ❒ the doors are unlocked. IMPORTANT If the central door locking system is released using the metal insert of the key, the alarm is not disabled. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 11 BREAK IN ATTEMPT INDICATION KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES Any break in attempt is indicated by the turning on of warning light Y on the instrument panel together with the message on the multifunction display (where provided), (see section “Warning lights and messages”). DISABLING THE ALARM To permanently disable the alarm (e.g. during a lengthy period of idleness), simply lock the vehicle by turning the metal insert of the key with remote control in the lock. IMPORTANT If the battery of the key with the remote control goes flat or the system fails, the alarm can be switched off by placing the key in the ignition switch and turning it to MAR-ON. IGNITION DEVICE The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 9: ❒ STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. sound system, central door locking system, etc.) can operate; ❒ MAR-ON: driving position. All electrical devices are enabled; ❒ AVV: engine starting (unstable position). The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety system that requires the ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting operation can be repeated. IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 12 fig. 9 F0N0007m WARNING If the ignition device is tampered with (e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. WARNING Never extract the key while the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel would automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it. This is always the case, even when the vehicle is being towed. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY WARNING Always remove the key from the vehicle when leaving it in order to prevent accidental engagement of the control. Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked uphill or reverse gear if the vehicle is parked downhill. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. STEERING LOCK Engagement When the key is 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-ON. WARNING It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any after-sales operation involving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g. installing an anti-theft device) that could badly affect performance and safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in the vehicle failing to comply with regulations. STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 13 KNOWING YOUR CAR INSTRUMENT PANEL A Speedometer (speed indicator) B Multifunction display C Rev counter SAFETY D Engine coolant temperature gauge with overheating warning light STARTING AND DRIVING E Fuel level gauge with reserve warning light WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES F0N0518m fig. 10 IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 14 INSTRUMENTS REV COUNTER fig. 12 The instrument background colour and type may vary according to the versions. SPEEDOMETER fig. 11 It shows the vehicle speed. 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 behaviour is standard as it takes place during the activation of the climate control system or the fan. It should not be considered as a fault. In such cases, a slight increase in engine idle speed helps to safeguard the battery charge level. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX fig. 11 F0N0332m fig. 12 F0N0013m 15 FUEL GAUGE fig. 13 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank. E vacuum tank; F tank full (see “Refuelling”). The warning light A coming on indicates that there are about 10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with tank capacity 90-120 l) or 10 l (for versions with tank capacity 60 l) remaining in the tank. Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter. IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning light A will flash to indicate a fault in the system. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked. ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE fig. 14 This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50 °C. In normal usage, the needle should hover around the middle of the scale. C Low engine coolant temperature. H High engine coolant temperature. Warning light B may light up (and a message on the multifunction display may appear on certain versions) to indicate that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. IMPORTANT It is not advisable to start the additional heater (Webasto) when fuel is on reserve. MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 16 fig. 13 F0N0014m fig. 14 F0N0015m If the needle reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership. ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE (for versions/markets where provided) The gauge provides a graphic indication of the level of oil in the engine. F0N1021g When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the display shows the oil level on the first row by turning five symbols on/off. The symbols are gradually turned off as the oil level drops. Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level of oil in the sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit, this does not indicate a fault or that insufficient oil is present in the sump. If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value, the display shows a dedicated message indicating minimum engine oil level and the need for a top-up. IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity, always check using the dipstick (see paragraph “Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and care”). After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the amount of engine oil disappears and: ❒ when the next scheduled servicing is near, the time to the next service is displayed and the warning light õ lights up on the instrument panel. When the service date is reached, the display shows a dedicated message; ❒ then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the time to the next oil change is shown on the top row of the display. When the service interval has expired a dedicated warning will be shown on the display.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES SYSTEM SERVICING In winter, the climate control system must be turned on at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Before summer, have the system inspected at a Fiat Dealership. SAFETY IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE The system uses R134a refrigerant fluid which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Under no circumstances should R12 fluid be used as it is incompatible with the system components. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX fig. 52 F0N0043m 53 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 54 AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (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 sun’s rays 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 suspended: the system will override your settings only for safety-related reasons (e.g. risk of misting up). 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 expect for the cases in which the system will intervene for particular, safety-related reasons. You can adjust one function manually without affecting the automatic control of the others. The intake air temperature is always automatically controlled according to the temperature set on the display (except for when the system is off or in certain conditions when the compressor is not running). 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 of the system; CONTROLS fig. 53 A AUTO button for automatic control of all functions.

Air recirculation control button. Fan speed increase/decrease control buttons. Temperature increase/decrease control knob. 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, by managing the recirculation function, the activation of the compressor. 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 windows, rear window and door mirrors. During fully automatic system operation, you can change the set temperature, 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. During fully automatic operation (FULL AUTO), the word FULL will disappear if the air distribution and/or flow rate and/or engagement 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. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CONTROLS Air temperature adjustment knob air (l) Turn the knob either clockwise or anticlockwise to increase or lower the requested temperature in the passenger compartment. The temperature set is shown on the display. Turn the knob either fully to the right or fully 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 beyond the maximum value (32 °C). IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 55 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING This function may be used to heat up the passenger compartment by exploiting the system’s potential to the full. In this event, 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 to the passenger compartment. All manual settings will be allowed when this function is on. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES To switch the function off, simply turn the temperature knob anticlockwise and set the required temperature. IN AN EMERGENCY select by turning the temperature knob anticlockwise beyond the minimum value (16 °C). MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 56 ❒ LO function (maximum cooling): This function may be used to cool down the passenger compartment by exploiting the system’s potential to the full. In this event, 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. Air distribution buttons (B) Press these buttons to manually set one of the seven air distribution settings: ▲ Air flow to the windscreen and front side window vents to demist or defrost the windows. ˙ Air flow to the central and side dashboard vents to ventilate the chest and the face in hot weather. ▼ Air flow to the front and rear footwell vents. Thanks to the natural tendency of hot air to rise, 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 vents ▼ (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 vents ▼ and the windscreen and front side windows defrosting/demisting vents. This allows an adequate warming of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from steaming up. ▲ Air flow distribution split between the windscreen ˙ and front side windows defrosting/demisting vents and the central and side dashboard vents. This distribution makes it possible to maintain good levels of comfort and keep the passenger compartment sufficiently cool (useful in the summer). ▲ Air flow distribution split between the windscreen ˙ and front side windows defrosting/demisting vents, ▼ the central and side dashboard vents and the footwell vents. This distribution allows good air diffusion and maintains a good level of comfort both in summer and winter. The fan speed is shown by the bars lit up on the display: ❒ Max. fan speed = all bars lit; ❒ Min. fan speed = one bar lit. The fan can be disabled only if the climate control compressor has been switched off by pressing button F-fig. 53. IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan speed control after a manual adjustment, press the AUTO button. The distribution set is shown by the corresponding LEDs on the selected buttons coming on. IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds, the dynamic effect may increase the flow of air into the passenger compartment, which in this case will not directly correspond to the fan speed bar display. To restore automatic control of the air distribution after a manual selection, press the AUTO button. AUTO button (A) (automatic operation) Speed adjustment buttons fan (H) Press the ends of button H to increase or to decrease the fan speed and therefore the amount of air introduced into the passenger compartment, whilst keeping the required temperature set. When the AUTO button is pressed the system automatically regulates the quantity and the distribution of the air introduced into the passenger compartment cancelling all the previous manual adjustments. The message FULL AUTO will appear on the front display in this condition. By manually adjusting at least one of the functions automatically managed by the system (air recirculation, air distribution, fan speed or switching off the compressor), the word FULL will disappear from the display, indicating that the system is no longer automatically controlling all the functions (the temperature will still be controlled automatically). KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 57 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 58 IMPORTANT Should the system (after manual intervention) no longer be able to guarantee the target temperature for the passenger compartment, the set temperature value will start flashing to indicate the difficulties the system is experiencing and then the word AUTO will go out. To restore system automatic control at any time, after one or more manual adjustments, press the AUTO button. Air recirculation on/off button (G) The Air recirculation works according to the following operating logics: ❒ 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 LED on the button going off and the symbol ê appearing on the display. These operating conditions are obtained by pressing air recirculation button G in sequence. IMPORTANT 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. To prevent steaming up, the recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is introduced from the outside) when the the outside temperature is cold. It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low to prevent the windows from rapidly misting up. Climate control compressor on/off button (F) Pressing the √ button switches the climate control compressor off, it if was on previously and the logo in the display goes out. Press the button when the LED is off to restore automatic system control of compressor activation. The icon will light up on the display. The system will switch recirculation off when the compressor is switched off to prevent misting up. Although the system is capable of maintaining the required temperature, the word FULL will disappear from the display. If the system is no longer able to maintain the temperature, the figures will flash and the word AUTO will go out. IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it is not possible to introduce air into the passenger compartment at a temperature lower than that of the outside air. In certain weather conditions, the windows could mist up rapidly due to the non-dehumidified air. The system remembers that the compressor has been switched off, even after the engine has stopped. To restore automatic compressor activation control, press the √ button again (in this case, the system will work only as a heater) or press the AUTO button. With the compressor switched off, if the outside temperature is higher than the one set, the system is not capable of satisfying this request. This is signalled by the target temperature flashing, after which the word AUTO goes out. With the climate control compressor off, the fan speed can be set to zero manually (no bar shown). With the compressor enabled and the engine started, the fan speed may be reduced to the minimum setting (only one bar shown). Button for rapid window demisting/ defrosting (D) When this button is pressed, the climate control automatically activates all the functions necessary to speed up the demising/defrosting of the windscreen and the side windows: ❒ turns on the climate control compressor when weather conditions are suitable; ❒ air recirculation switching-off; ❒ sets the maximum temperature for the HI air in both zones; ❒ sets the fan speed set according to the engine coolant temperature to limit the flow of air that is insufficiently warm to demist the windows; ❒ directs the air flow to the windscreen and front side windows vents; ❒ switches on the heated rear window. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING IMPORTANT The rapid demisting/defrosting function for the windows remains on for about 3 minutes from when the engine coolant reaches the appropriate temperature for a rapid demisting of the windows. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES When this function is active, the LED on the corresponding button and the one on the heated rear window button switch on. The message FULL AUTO goes off on the display. IN AN EMERGENCY You can only adjust the fan speed and switch off the heated rear windscreen manually when this function is active.

HEADLIGHTS KNOWING YOUR CAR HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING IMPORTANT Follow the instructions contained in the assembly kit carefully. Assembly must be performed by qualified personnel. WARNING Distribute the load evenly and when driving, bear in mind the increased sensitivity of the vehicle to side wind. 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 when travelling with the headlights on, the headlight alignment must be correct. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted. HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR This device works with the ignition key in the MAR-ON position and the dipped headlights on. The vehicle tilts backwards when it is laden, raising the beam. The beams must therefore be aimed again in this case. SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY Never exceed the permitted weight (see “Technical data” section). MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX fig. 128 F0N0516m 107 Headlight alignment adjustment fig. 128 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE Press buttons Ò and  in the control panel to adjust. The display located on the instrument panel provides a visual indication of the adjusted position. IMPORTANT Check the beam alignment every time the weight of the load transported changes. ABS SYSTEM If you have never driven a vehicle with ABS before, it is advisable to perform a few tests on slippery ground, always in safe conditions and respecting the highway code of the country where you are driving. Read the following information carefully. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted. 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, ensuring control of the vehicle even during emergency braking. ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN ABROAD The system is completed by EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distribution), which distributes the braking action between the front and rear wheels. The dipped headlights are adjusted to work in the country where the vehicle was originally purchased. In countries where vehicles are driven on the other side of the road, the beams are aligned by applying a specially designed adhesive film in order not to dazzle the vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. IMPORTANT For the maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding in period of about 500 km is needed (with the vehicle new or after having replaced the brake pads/discs): during this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking. FRONT FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT (for versions/markets where provided) WARNING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 108 The ABS system gets the most out of the available grip but it cannot improve it. Therefore, you should take great care when driving on slippery surfaces: don’t take unnecessary risks. SYSTEM INTERVENTION EBD failure 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. ABS Failure is indicated by the > and x warning lights in the instrument panel together with the dedicated message in the multifunction display (for versions/ markets where provided) coming on (see “Warning lights and messages” section). WARNING If the ABS cuts in, it is a sign that the grip between tyre and the road surface has reached the limit: you must slow down to match the speed to the road grip available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked. WARNING FAILURE WARNING ABS failure ABS Failure is indicated by the > warning light in the instrument panel together with the dedicated message in the multifunction display (for versions/markets where provided) coming on (see “Warning lights and messages” section). In this case, the braking system will still be effective, although without the extra capacity offered by the ABS system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked. If only the x warning light in the instrument panel lights up (together with a message in the multifunction display, for versions/markets where provided) stop the vehicle immediately and contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaking from the hydraulic system will compromise the operation of the braking system, whether it is of the conventional type or with ABS. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 109 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistance integrated in ESP) (for versions/markets where provided) This system (which cannot be deactivated) recognises emergency braking conditions according to the speed of operation of the brake pedal and provides an additional hydraulic braking pressure to support that provided by the driver. This allows faster and more powerful operation of the braking system. The Brake Assist is deactivated on versions equipped with ESP, in the event of an ESP system failure (indicated by warning light á switching on together with the message in the multifunction display, for versions/markets where provided). ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability Program) (for versions/markets where provided) This is an electronic system that controls vehicle stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain directional control. The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when grip conditions of road surfaces change. The MSR system (adjustment of the engine braking torque during gear changes) and the HBA system (automatic increase in the braking pressure during emergency braking) are present with ESP, ASR and Hill Holder systems (for versions/markets where provided). SYSTEM INTERVENTION IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 110 WARNING 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. This is signalled by the flashing of warning light á in the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the vehicle is in critical stability and grip conditions. SYSTEM ACTIVATION The ESP system is automatically activated when the vehicle is started and cannot be de-activated. FAILURE WARNING In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically switched off and the á warning light will come on constantly in the instrument panel along with a message in the multifunction display (for versions/markets where provided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section). The LED in the ASR OFF button will light up. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if this happens. WARNING Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your vehicle is fitted with an ESP system. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is ultimately responsible for road safety. HILL HOLDER SYSTEM This system is an integral part of the ESP system and it is provided to facilitate starting on hills. ❒ downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged. At pickup the ESP system control unit will maintain the braking pressure at the wheels until the necessary torque for starting is reached or, in any case, for a maximum of 2 seconds in order to move easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. When two seconds have elapsed, without starting, the system is automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure. During this release stage, the typical brake disengagement noise indicating that the vehicle is going to move imminently will be heard. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING Failure warning WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES The á warning light in the instrument panel will come on in the event of a failure (see “Warning lights and messages” section). IN AN EMERGENCY IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and engaged first gear. MAINTENANCE AND CARE It is automatically activated in the following conditions: ❒ uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal pressed, gearbox in neutral or gear other than reverse engaged; WARNING For the correct operation of the ESP and ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of the type, make and size specified. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 111 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 112 ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator) This is a traction control system that cuts in automatically every time one or both drive wheels slip. Depending on the slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated: ❒ if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR function intervenes by reducing the power transmitted by the engine; ❒ if the slipping only involves only one driving wheel, the ASR system cuts in by automatically braking the wheel that is slipping. The action of the ASR is particularly helpful in the following circumstances: ❒ slipping of the inner wheel when cornering 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 icy surfaces; ❒ loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning). WARNING For the correct operation of the ESP and ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of the type, make and size specified. MSR system (engine braking torque control) This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event of a sudden gear down shift, cuts in and provides torque to the engine thus preventing excessive drive wheel drive which, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to a loss of stability. Switching the system on/off fig. 129 The ASR system switches on automatically each 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, the driving wheels skidding when moving off gives you better traction. The ASR can be turned off and then turned back on again whilst driving by pressing the switch A located in the dashboard. The switching off is shown by the LED in the switch itself 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. WARNING Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your vehicle is fitted with this system. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is ultimately responsible for road safety. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES FAILURE WARNING In the event of a failure, the ASR will be automatically switched off and the á warning light will come on constantly in the instrument panel along with a message in the multifunction display (for versions/markets where provided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section). The LED in the ASR OFF button will light up. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if this happens. IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX fig. 129 F0N0077m 113 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM Traction Plus operation (for versions/markets, where provided) The system is deactivated when starting up. To activate the “Traction Plus” system, press the button (T+ fig. 130): the LED on the button switches on. 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. STARTING AND DRIVING 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. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES This function can be turned on manually by pressing the T+ button fig. 130 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. IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 114 fig. 130 F0N0509m 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 á 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 the U warning light on the instrument panel (together with a relevant message in the multifunction display, for versions/ markets where provided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section), when these components are no longer in peak condition. If, when the ignition key is turned to the MAR-ON position, the U warning light either does not come on or, when driving, it comes on constantly or flashing (along with a message in the multidirection display, for versions/markets where provided) contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of the warning light U may be checked by the traffic control authorities using specific devices. Always comply with the traffic regulations in force in the country where you are driving. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING The goal of the system is to: ❒ keep the system efficiency under control; ❒ warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle malfunction; WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES ❒ warn of the need to replace deteriorated components. IN AN EMERGENCY The system also has a diagnostic 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 control authorities. MAINTENANCE AND CARE IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check the system completely, Fiat Dealerships run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 115 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES PARKING SENSORS (for versions/markets where provided) The parking sensors are located in the rear bumper, fig. 131 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 gets closer to the bumper, the beeping becomes more frequent. IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 116 fig. 131 F0N0119m WARNING BUZZER When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent beeping is automatically activated. The acoustic signal: ❒ increases as the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle decreases; ❒ becomes continuous when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops immediately if the distance increases; ❒ remains constant if the distance remains unchanged; if this situation concerns the side sensors, the buzzer will stop after about 3 seconds to avoid, for example, warning indications in the event of manoeuvres along walls. Detection distances Central action range: 140 cm ±10 cm Side action range: 60 cm ±20 cm If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the nearest one is considered. OPERATION WITH TRAILER The sensors are automatically enabled again when the trailer cable plug is removed. SAFETY FAILURE WARNING IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted without towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership for the relevant system update operations because the tow hook could be detected as an obstacle by the central sensors. STARTING AND DRIVING When using special washing equipment such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than 10 cm away. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES Any parking sensor failures will be indicated when engaging reverse by the t warning light in the instrument panel together with the message in the multifunction display coming on for versions/markets where provided (see “Warning lights and messages” section). Parking sensor operation is automatically disabled when the electric cable plug of the trailer is fitted into the vehicle tow hook socket. KNOWING YOUR CAR IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 117 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 118 For correct operation, sensors must always be clean from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed with clean water, possibly with some car shampoo. WARNING The driver always has ultimate responsibility for parking and other dangerous manoeuvres. While manoeuvring, always make sure that no-one is in the area concerned (especially children) or animals. The parking sensors are designed to assist drivers: in any case, you must always pay the utmost attention during potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even when carried out at low speed. GENERAL WARNINGS ❒ When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles that may be above or below the sensors. ❒ Objects close to the vehicle, in certain circumstances are not detected and could therefore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged. The following conditions may influence the performance of the parking sensor system: ❒ Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the parking assistance system performance could be due to the presence on the surface of the sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint. ❒ The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle (echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for example when washing the vehicle, in case of rain, strong wind, hail. ❒ The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle. ❒ The performance of the parking assistance system may also be affected by the position of the sensors. For example by a change in the ride setting (caused by the wear of the shock absorbers, suspension), changing the tyres, overloading the vehicle and carrying out specific tuning operations that require the vehicle to be lowered; ❒ Detection of obstacles in the upper part of the vehicle (particularly in the case of vans or chassis cabs) may not be guaranteed because the system detects obstacles that could strike the lower part of the vehicle. SOUND SYSTEM KNOWING YOUR CAR (for versions/markets, where provided) For radio operation, consult the Supplement attached to this Owner Handbook. SAFETY SOUND SYSTEM CAPABILITY (for versions/markets where provided) The system consists of: ❒ sound system power cables ❒ front speaker connection cables ❒ aerial power cable ❒ 2 tweeters A on the front pillars (30 W max power each), fig. 132; ❒ 2 mid-woofers B in the front doors (165 mm diameter, 40 W max power each) fig. 133; ❒ radio aerial lead.

WARNING Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.) IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 120 fig. 133 F0N0158m INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the following label: Radio transmission equipment (e.g.: ETACS mobile phones, CB radio systems and so on) should not be used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial roofmounted is fitted. IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may, in addition to potential damage to the health of the passengers, cause malfunctions in the vehicle electronic systems, compromising the safety of the vehicle. Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised shop, in a workmanlike fashion and in compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications. IMPORTANT Traffic authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that modify vehicle specifications. This may also invalidate the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change or either directly or indirectly related to it. 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. In addition, transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body.

KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 121 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY PREPARATION FOR TELEPASS DEVICE IN REFLECTIVE WINDSCREEN (for versions/markets where provided) If the vehicle is equipped with a reflective windscreen, install the Telepass in the appropriate area shown in fig. 134-135. OPERATION AT LOW TEMPERATURES If the outside temperature is very low, 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 current 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 diesel fuel. STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES 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 fuel. IN AN EMERGENCY fig. 134 – Left hand drive versions F0N0245m MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 122 REFUELLING THE VEHICLE fig. 135 – Right hand drive versions F0N0246m In this situation it is also advisable to keep the fuel tank more than 50% full. Only use diesel fuel that conforms to European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused. If you accidentally introduce other types of fuel into the tank, do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has run, even for a very short time, you will need to have the entire fuel system emptied in addition to the tank. REFUELLING CAPACITY The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure in the tank. A little breathing off, while slackening the cap is absolutely normal. KNOWING YOUR CAR When refuelling, attach the cap to the device inside the flap as shown in fig. 136. SAFETY WARNING Do not bring naked flames or lit cigarettes near to the fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep your face away from the fuel filler to avoid breathing in harmful vapours. To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the first click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top-ups could cause faults in the fuel feeding system. STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY FUEL TANK CAP fig. 136 When refuelling, open the flap A then undo the cap B turning the ignition key anticlockwise; the cap has a device C to prevent it being lost. MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX fig. 136 F0N0068m 123 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel engine emissions: The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps particulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel engines. ❒ oxidising catalytic converter; ❒ exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.); ❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF). STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WARNING The diesel particulate filter (DPF) reaches high temperatures during operation. Therefore do not therefore park the vehicle on inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard. IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 124 WARNING The catalytic converter also reaches high temperatures during normal operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard. The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to eliminate almost all particulates in compliance with current/future legal regulations. During normal use of the vehicle, the engine management control unit records a set of data (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 carbon particles. The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by the engine management control unit according to the filter conditions and vehicle use conditions. There may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed during the regeneration, 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 the dedicated message is displayed, refer to the “Warning lights and messages” section. SAFETY SAFETY BELTS Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement. USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 137 The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the seat back. To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it into the buckle B, until the locking click is heard. On removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking. To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting. The reel may block when the vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled and in the event of sudden braking, collisions and on high speed bends. WARNING Do not press button C-ig. 137 when driving. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT fig. 138 WARNING The height of the seat belts must be adjusted with the vehicle at a standstill. To adjust, use button A-fig. 138 and raise or lower handle B.

Push downwards to enable the locking device to click if the grip has not been released in one of the possible positions. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES Seat belt with reel for front central position on bench seat fig. 139 IN AN EMERGENCY The two-seater front bench is equipped with an onboard seat belt (reel on seat) with three anchorage points for the central position. S.B.R. SYSTEM The vehicle is fitted with a Seat Belt Reminder system (S.B.R.), consisting of a buzzer and a flashing warning light < on the instrument panel which warns the driver that the seat belt must be fastened. The buzzer can be deactivated (until the next engine stop) as follows: ❒ fasten the driver’s seat belt; ❒ turn the ignition key to MAR-ON; ❒ wait for over 20 seconds and then release one of the seat belts. For permanent deactivation, contact the Fiat Dealership. With digital display, the S.B.R. system can only be reset at Fiat Dealership. With multifunction display, the S.B.R. system can also be reset through the set-up menu. MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 126 fig. 138 F0N0070m fig. 139 F0N0156m PRETENSIONERS To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the vehicle is fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event of a violent frontal impact, rewind the seat belts a few centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining action begins. WARNING The pretensioner can only be used once. After it is triggered, have it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. The device expiry date is shown on the plate in the glove compartment: contact the FIAT Dealership when it is time to replace the device. The buckle moves downwards to indicate that the device has intervened; 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 tight to the chest and pelvis. A slight amount of smoke may be detected during operation of the pretensioners. This smoke is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. If unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.) have caused the device to be contaminated by water and mud, it must be replaced. SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING 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. The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or lubrication. Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates its efficiency. KNOWING YOUR CAR LOAD LIMITERS To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt reels contain 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 frontal impact. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 127 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES 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 starting. Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt. Of course they must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes over the pelvis and under the abdomen, see fig. 140. IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING The belt must not be twisted. The upper part must pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part must adhere to the pelvis fig. 141, not to the abdomen. Do not use devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that prevent the belts from being snug to the passengers’ body. WARNING Maximum protection is obtained if the backrest is kept straight: the passenger’s back must lean against the backrest and the seat belt must be adhere firmly to the torso and pelvis. 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. MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 128 fig. 140 F0N0120m fig. 141 F0N0121m WARNING WARNING Under no circumstances should the seat belt and pretensioner components be removed or tampered with. Any operations must be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealership. WARNING If the belt has been subjected to high levels of stress, for example after an accident, it should be changed completely together with the attachments, fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact, even if the belt has no visible defects, it could have lost its resilience. Each seat belt must be worn by one person only; passengers should not have babies or children on their lap and use the belts to protect both of them fig 142. In general, do not use the seat belts to hold any object against the body. HOW TO MAINTAIN THE SEAT BELTS IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS For keeping the seat belts in efficient conditions, observe the following: ❒ always use the belts with the strap well stretched and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run without impediments; ❒ after a serious accident, replace the belt even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the belt if the pretensioners were deployed; ❒ to clean the belts, wash by hand with water and mild soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach, paints or any other substance which could damage the belt fibres; ❒ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside; ❒ replace the seat belt when they demonstrate significant wear or cuts. fig. 142 F0N0122m KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 129 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 130 CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY For optimal protection in the event of a collision, all passengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems. This is even more important for children. This prescription is compulsory in all EU countries pursuant to Directive 2003/20/EC. Compared with adults, a child’s head is proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while muscles and bone structure are not fully developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary which are different from adult seat belts. The results of research in relation to the best protection for children is summarised in European Regulation EEC-R44, which divides the restraint systems into five groups in addition to making their use compulsory: Group 0 up to 10 kg of weight Group 0+ up to 13 kg of weight Group 1 9–18 kg in weight Group 2 15–25 kg in weight Group 3 22–36 kg of weight As you can see, the groups overlap partly and, in fact, there are devices on sale that cover more than one weight group. All child restraint devices must bear the certification data, together with the control mark, on a label solidly fixed to the 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 the seat belts normally. WARNING Do not place a cradle seat facing backwards on the front seat if the passenger side airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of the severity of the collision. It is advisable to always carry children in dedicated child seats on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of an accident. WARNING SERIOUS DANGER Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the front seat in a backwards-facing child seat, the passenger’s front and side airbags must be deactivated through the setup menu. Deactivation can be verified by checking the F warning light on the instrument panel. Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child seat and the dashboard. GROUP 0 and 0+ WARNING 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 decelerations. The cradle is restrained by the vehicle seat belts fig. 143 and it in turn must restrain the child with its own belts. Some child restraint systems for weight group 0 and 1 have a rear attachment to the car seat belts and its 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 cushion in between). Follow the assembly instructions carefully. WARNING The figures are indicative for assembly purposes only. To install the child restraint, refer to the instructions supplied with the same. 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. 144.

The only function of the seat is to position the child correctly in relation to the belts, so that the diagonal part fits over the chest and not the neck, and that the horizontal part fits over the pelvis and not the abdomen. For children from 22 kg to 36 kg the size of the child’s chest no longer requires a support to space the child’s back from the backrest. Fig. 146 shows a child correctly positioned on the rear seat. Children taller than 1.50 m can wear seat belts like adults. WARNING The figure is indicative for fitting purposes only. Fit the child seat referring to the instructions supplied with the child restraint. WARNING The figure is indicative for fitting purposes only.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 133 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be followed for carrying children: 1) The recommended position for installing child seats is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in the event of a crash. 2) If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated always check the amber warning light on the control panel to make sure that it has actually been deactivated. 3) Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child restraint system which are mandatory by law. Keep the instructions in the vehicle along with the other papers and this handbook. Do not use second-hand child seats without instructions. 4) Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by pulling on it. 5) Only one child is to be strapped into each retaining system; never carry two children using one child seat. 6) Always check that the seat belts do not restrain the child’s throat. MAINTENANCE AND CARE 7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or release the belts. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-one, however strong, can restrain a child in the event of an accident. 9) In the event of an accident, replace the child’s seat with a new one. INDEX 134 WARNING Do not place a cradle seat facing backwards on the front seat if the passenger side airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of the severity of the collision. It is advisable to carry children in an appropriate restraint system on the rear seat which is the most protected position in the event of an accident. “UNIVERSAL ISOFIX” CHILD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY SETUP Provision has been made on the vehicle to fit a Universal Isofix child restraint system, a new European standardised system for carrying children safely. An example of a child seat is shown in fig. 147. Due to its different anchoring system, the Universal Isofix child’s seat must be secured using the special lower metal rings A-fig. 148, positioned between rear backrest and cushion. The upper belt (provided with the child’s seat) must be then secured to ring B-fig. 149 located in the lower part of the seat. It is possible to have a mixed assembly of traditional child seats and Universal Isofix seats. Remember that, in the case of Universal Isofix child seats, you can use all those seats bearing the marking ECE R44/03 Universal Isofix. WARNING WARNING Fit the child seat only when the vehicle is stationary. The child seat is correctly anchored to the brackets when you hear the click. Follow the instructions for assembly, disassembly and positioning that the manufacturer must supply with the child seat.

INDEX 136 FRONT AIR BAGS The front air bags may not be activated in the following situations: The vehicle is provided with front airbags for the driver and the passenger. ❒ during collisions against highly deformable objects that do not affect the vehicle front surface (e.g. bumper collision against guard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.); The front driver/passenger air bags have been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard. Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction. An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate in the event of a head-on crash. The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between the front occupants body and the structures which could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards. Driver and passenger front airbags are not a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which you are recommended to always wear, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries. The volume of the front airbags at maximum inflation fills most of the space between the steering wheel and the driver and between the dashboard and the passenger. In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat belt could move forward and come into contact with a bag which is still in the opening phase. The protection offered by the bag is reduced in such a case. ❒ jamming of the vehicle underneath other vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. underneath a truck or a guard rail); in this case, the bags would offer no additional protection with respect to the seat belt and their deployment is unnecessary. Failure to deploy in such cases does not consequently indicate a system fault. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WARNING Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering wheel, to the passenger’s side air bag cover or on the roof side lining. Do not place objects on the passenger side dashboard because these could interfere with the correct opening of the airbag (e.g. mobile phones) and cause severe injury to occupants. The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor collisions (for which the restraining action of the seat belts is sufficient). For this reason, the seat belt must be worn at all times. In the event of side collisions, the seat belts hold occupants in the correct position and prevent them being thrown out of the car by a very violent collision. IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 137 KNOWING YOUR CAR DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 150 PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 151 (for versions/markets where provided) This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel. This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a larger volume than that of the driver’s. SAFETY WARNING STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY fig. 150 F0N0324m MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 138 fig. 151 F0N0072m SEVERE DANGER: do not arrange cradle child restraints facing backwards if the passenger’s airbag is on. Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child. Always deactivate the passenger air bag 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. Even when this is not mandatory by law, the air bag should be immediately reactivated when children are no longer carried to ensure better protection for the adults. MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG CHEST 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 chest protection (for versions/markets where provided) must be deactivated. The instrument panel warning light F will switch on constantly until the passenger’s front air bag and Side Bag (chest protection) are reactivated (for versions/ markets where provided). WARNING To deactivate the passenger’s front air bag and the side bag (chest protection) (for versions/markets where provided), refer to paragraphs “Digital display” and “Multifunction display” in section “Dashboard and controls”. SIDE BAGS The vehicle is fitted with front side bags for driver and passenger (for versions/markets where provided) for protecting the chest and window bags (for versions/ markets where provided) for protecting front and rear passengers’ heads. Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) protect occupants from side impacts of medium-high severity, by placing the bag between the occupant and the internal parts of the side structure of the vehicle. Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions (head-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not an indication of system malfunction. An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate in the event of a side impact. The bags inflate instantaneously placing themselves between the occupants’ bodies and the structures which could cause injury. They deflate immediately afterwards. Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) are not a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which you are recommended to always wear, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries. FRONT SIDE BAGS – CHEST AND PELVIS ZONE fig. 152 (for versions/markets where provided) Housed in the seats’ backrests, they consist of an instantly-inflating bag designed to protect the occupants’ chest and pelvis zone in the event of a side impact of medium-high severity. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 139 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY SIDE WINDOW BAGS – HEAD PROTECTION fig. 153 (for versions/markets where provided) They consist of two curtain bags, one on the right and the other on the left side of the vehicle, located behind the side coverings of the roof and covered by special finishing. Window bags have been designed for protecting the head of front occupants in the event of side impact, thanks to the wide bag inflation surface. IMPORTANT In the event of side impact, you can obtain the best protection by the system by maintaining a correct position on the seat, thus allowing the bags to unfold correctly. IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or side bags may be deployed if the vehicle is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the underbody area, such as for example violent impacts, against steps, kerbs or low obstacles, vehicle falling into big pot holes or depressions in the road. IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will be released when the air bags 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 in a dusty residue: this may irritate your skin and eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in the event of exposure. The expiration dates of the explosive charge and the clock wire are shown on a label contained in the glove box. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the devices replaced when the expiry date approaches. IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat Dealership to have the activated devices replaced and to have the system checked. Every control, repair and replacement operation concerning the air bags must only be carried out at a Fiat Dealership. MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 140 fig. 152 F0N0140m fig. 153 F0N0133m If you are having the vehicle scrapped, have the system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of how to use the air bags and the above warnings and also be given this “Owner Handbook”. IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags are deployed according to different logics on the basic of the type of collision. Non-deployment of one of the devices does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction. WARNING Never rest head, arms or elbows on the door, on the windows or in the window bag deployment area to prevent possible injuries during the inflation phase. GENERAL WARNINGS WARNING If when turning the key to MAR-ON the warning light ¬ does not turn on or if it stays on when travelling (together with the message on the multifunction display, for versions/markets, where provided) there could be a failure in the safety systems; in this event air bags or pretensioners may fail to trigger in the event of impact or, in a lower number of cases, they could trigger accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked before driving off. WARNING WARNING Do not cover the front and rear seat backrest with upholstery or seat covers that hinder deployment of the side bag. Never lean head, arms or elbows out of window. WARNING Do not travel with objects in your lap, in front of your chest, or with pipes, pencils, etc. between your lips. In the event of crash with airbag activation, you may be seriously injured. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 141 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE WARNING Always drive keeping your hands on the rim of the steering wheel so that, in the event of airbag activation, it can inflate without meeting obstacles. Do not drive with your body bent forward. Keep the backrest in an upright position, resting your back on it firmly. WARNING Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the warning light F (airbag on passenger’s side enabled) goes on and flashes for a few seconds, thus reminding the passenger that the airbag on his/her side will deploy in the event of a collision. After this time, the light goes off. WARNING WARNING With ignition key inserted, on MAR-ON, even if the engine is off, the air bags can activate even with the vehicle stopped, if it is hit by another vehicle. For this reason, children must never sit on the front seat, even if the vehicle is not moving. On the other hand, whenever the key is positioned on STOP, the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners) do not deploy after a collision. In this case non-deployment of these devices does not indicate a system malfunction. Do not wash the car seats with water or pressurised steam (either by hand or at automatic washing stations). WARNING The front airbag is deployed in the event of collisions with a more severe nature than those required to activate the pretensioners. For collisions in the range between the two activation thresholds, the fact that only the pretensioners activate is normal. WARNING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 142 WARNING If the vehicle has been subject to theft or a theft attempt or if it has been affected by vandalism, flooding or inundation, have the air bag system checked at a Fiat Dealership. Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hangers or to the support handles. The air bag does not replace seat belts but increases their efficiency. Furthermore, since front air bags are not deployed in low speed collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or rollovers, the passengers are only protected by the seat belts which must be fastened at all times. STARTING AND DRIVING STARTING THE ENGINE The vehicle is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph “The Fiat CODE system” in section “Dashboard and controls”. In the first period of use, we recommend avoiding excessive stress on the car (for instance excessive acceleration, extended travel at maximum speed, sudden braking etc.). When the engine is switched off never leave the key into the ignition switch to prevent useless current absorption from draining the battery. WARNING It is dangerous to let the engine run in enclosed spaces. The engine consumes the oxygen and discharges carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases. KNOWING YOUR CAR WARNING Remember that the brake servo and power steering are not operational until the engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake pedal and steering wheel. PROCEDURE FOR Proceed as follows: ❒ engage the handbrake; ❒ put the gear lever into neutral; ❒ turn the ignition key to MAR-ON: the warning lights m and Y on the instrument panel will turn on; ❒ wait for the warning lights Y and m to turn off. The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen; ❒ press the clutch pedal all the way down without touching the accelerator; ❒ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the warning light m turns off. Waiting too long will waste the work done by the glow plugs. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting. SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 143 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY If, when the ignition key is at MAR-ON the warning light Y remains on together with warning light m, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR-ON; if the warning lights remain on, try with the other keys provided with the car. IMPORTANT If the instrument panel warning light Y stays on constantly, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately. STARTING AND DRIVING IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key on MAR-ON when the engine is off. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES The warning light m will flash for 60 seconds after starting or during prolonged cranking to indicate a fault with the glow plug preheating system. Use the vehicle normally if the engine starts, but contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 144 Remember that the brake servo and power steering are not operational until the engine has been started, therefore more effort than usual is required on the brake pedal and steering wheel. Avoid jump starting the engine by pushing, towing or driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair. STOPPING THE ENGINE Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling. IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment to fall. HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED Proceed as follows: ❒ drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium speed. Do not accelerate abruptly; ❒ do not demand maximum performance for the first few kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts moving. A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no practical purpose, it wastes fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines. In some cases, when the engine switches off, the fan could start for max. 120 seconds. PARKING THE VEHICLE HANDBRAKE fig. 154 Proceed as follows: ❒ stop the engine and engage the handbrake; ❒ engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the vehicle is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels steered. The handbrake lever is located to the left side of the driver’s seat. Pull the lever upwards to engage the handbrake and ensure that the vehicle does not move. Four or five notches are normally sufficient to brake the vehicle on flat ground, while nine or ten may be necessary on a steep slope with the vehicle loaded. If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is advisable to block the wheels with a wedge or stone. Do not leave the key in the ignition switch to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the vehicle. IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted. WARNING Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle and take it out with you. When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition key is at MAR-ON, the instrument panel warning light x will turn on. Proceed as follows to release the handbrake: ❒ slightly lift the handbrake and press the release button A; ❒ keep button A pressed and lower the lever. The warning light x on the instrument panel will turn off. Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally. IMPORTANT Apply the handbrake lever only when the vehicle is at a standstill or with the vehicle in motion only in the event of a fault in the hydraulic system. If exceptional use is made of the handbrake with the vehicle in motion, moderate traction is advisable in order not to cause locking of the rear end with consequent swerving of the vehicle. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX fig. 154 F0N0073m 145 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX To engage the gears, depress the clutch pedal fully and shift the gear lever into the required positions (the diagram is shown on the gear knob fig. 155). To engage 6th gear (where provided), operate the lever by pressing it towards the right in order to avoid engaging 4th gear by mistake. The same applies to the shift from 6th to 5th gear. IMPORTANT Reverse may only be engaged when the vehicle is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and grating. To engage reverse R from neutral, proceed as follows: raise ring A under the knob and at the same time move the gear lever to the right and then backwards. MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 146 fig. 155 F0N0074m WARNING Press the clutch pedal fully to change gears correctly. For this reason, there must be no obstacles on the floor under the pedals: ensure that rubber mats (if any) are lying flat and do not interfere with the pedals. Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever, because this pressure, even if light, over time can wear out the internal gearbox components. LOAD ADVICE WARNING The Fiat Ducato version used by you has been designed and type approved on the basis of certain maximum weights (see “Weights” table in the “Technical Data” section): kerb weight, payload, total weight, maximum weight on front axle, maximum weight on rear axle, towable weight. Irregular trajectories and abrupt braking may cause sudden movements of the load with consequent situations of hazard for the driver and passengers: before setting off, secure the load tightly using the appropriate hooks on the floor and use steel cables, ropes or chains strong enough to hold the items to be secured. WARNING Each of these must be strictly observed and MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED in any case. In particular, ensure that you never exceed the maximum permitted weights on the front and rear axles when arranging the load on the vehicle (particularly if the vehicle is equipped with a specific trim level). IMPORTANT The maximum permitted load on the floor fastenings is 500 kg; the maximum permitted load on the side panel is 150 kg. WARNING If a vehicle is parked on a very steep gradient or with a side gradient, opening the rear door or side door could cause any unsecured items to emerge suddenly. IMPORTANT For versions with right and left side flaps, it is advisable to reposition the release lever in the closed position before lowering the sides. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 147 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 148 WARNING If you wish to carry petrol in a reserve tank, observe the legal restrictions and only use a tank that is type approved and properly secured to the load anchorage eyebolts. However, the risk of fire in the event of an accident increases. CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS Here are some suggestions which may help you to keep the running costs of your vehicle down and lower the amount of toxic emissions released into the atmosphere. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Vehicle maintenance In addition to these general precautions, some simple precautions can improve driving safety, travelling comfort and vehicle durability: Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”. ❒ distribute the load evenly over the floor: if it is necessary to concentrate it in a single area, choose an area mid-way between both axles; Tyres ❒ remember that the lower the load, the lower the vehicle’s centre of gravity, making for a safer drive: therefore always position the heaviest goods lower down; ❒ lastly, remember that the vehicle’s dynamic behaviour is affected by the weight transported: in particular, the stopping distances are longer, especially at high speed. Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher. Unnecessary loads Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of the vehicle (especially when driving in town) and its geometry greatly affect fuel consumption and stability. Roof rack/ski rack Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof after use. These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration of the vehicle and have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer, particularly for transporting bulky objects. Electric devices Unnecessary actions Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing the requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle). Avoid accelerating when starting at traffic lights or before switching off the engine. The latter action, like doubling the clutch, is unnecessary and causes increase of consumption and pollution. Climate control system Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase consumption. In the same way improper use of a high gear increases consumption, emissions an engine wear. The climate control system is an additional load which greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption (on average up to +20%). When the temperature outside the car permits it, use the air vents where possible. Devices for aerodynamic control The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control may adversely affect air drag and consumption levels. DRIVING STYLE Starting Do not warm the engine with the vehicle at a standstill or at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster. Gear selection Max. speed Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cause excessive fuel consumption and increased emissions. Acceleration Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and emissions: acceleration should therefore be gradual and should not exceed the maximum torque. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 149 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 150 CONDITIONS OF USE Cold starting Short journeys and frequent cold starts will prevent the engine from reaching optimal running temperature. Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to +30% on urban cycle ) and emissions will increase. Traffic and road conditions TOWING TRAILERS IMPORTANT NOTES The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved tow hook and adequate electrical system to tow caravans or trailers. Installation should be carried out by specialised personnel who will issue the required papers for travelling on roads. Rather high consumption levels are linked to situations with heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in queues with frequent use of the lower gears or in cities with many traffic lights. Winding mountain roads and rough road surfaces also adversely affect consumption. Install any specific and/or additional rear view mirrors as specified by the Highway Code. Traffic hold-ups Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than constantly using the brake. During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level crossings) the engine should be switched off. Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and overtaking takes longer depending on the overall weight. The weight of the trailer on the vehicle tow hook will reduce the loading capacity of the vehicle by the same amount. Consider the weight of the trailer fully laden, including accessories and luggage, to make sure you do not exceed the maximum towable weight (shown on the vehicle registration document). Do not exceed the speed limits specific for each country you are driving in, in the case of vehicles towing trailers. In any case, the top speed must not exceed 100 km/h. Fit a suitable towing stabiliser to the trailer to be towed. WARNING The ABS device with which the vehicle may be equipped will not control the braking system of the trailer. Particular caution is required on slippery roads. INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK The towing device should be fastened to the body by specialised personnel according to any additional and/or integrative information supplied by the Manufacturer of the device. The towing device must meet current regulations with reference to Directive 94/20/EEC and subsequent amendments. WARNING Never modify the braking system of the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be fully independent from the hydraulic system of the vehicle. For any version the towing device used must match the towable weight of the vehicle on which it is to be installed. For the electric connection a standard connector should be used which is generally placed on a special bracket normally fastened to the towing device, and a special ECU for external trailer light control must be installed on the vehicle. For the electrical connection, 7 or 13 pin 12 V DC connections are to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow the instructions provided by the vehicle manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.

The performance of these tyres is considerably reduced when the tread depth is less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case. Due to snow tyre features, under normal conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of these tyres is much lower than that of standard tyres. Limit performance according to the use for which they were certified. IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a maximum speed index below the one that can be reached by the vehicle (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in view, which states the maximum speed allowed by the snow tyres (as per EC Directive). All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking and better driveability. Remember that it is inappropriate to change the rotation direction of tyres. The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations. The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel tyres (drive wheels). Use of Lineaccessori Fiat snow chains is recommended. Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been driven. WARNING The max speed for snow tyres with “Q” marking is 160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T” marking and 210 km/h for tyres with H marking. The Highway Code speed limits must however be always strictly observed. IMPORTANT With snow chains, use the accelerator with extreme care to prevent or to limit as much as possible slipping of the drive wheels which could cause the chains to break resulting in damage to the car body or mechanical components. IMPORTANT Use reduced-size snow chains. WARNING Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and also avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with snow in order to prevent damaging the vehicle and the roadbed.

This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and maintenance operations every 48,000 km. The scheduled maintenance programme does not, however, cover all the vehicle requirements; during the initial period, before the 48,000 kilometre service and later on, between services, routine operations must be carried out like systematically checking and topping up fluid levels, checking the tyre inflation pressure, etc. IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing coupons are specified by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may invalidate the warranty. Schedule servicing can be carried out by any Fiat Dealership, at pre-established times. If there is a need for further replacements or repairs during any operation in addition to those planned, prior consent of the Customer must be obtained first. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership in the event of any minor operating failure, without waiting for the next service coupon.

When the vehicle is new, the engine needs to be run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km. IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on the driving style and the conditions under which the vehicle is used. IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the engine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after switching it off before checking the level. WARNING When the engine is hot, take care when working inside the engine compartment to avoid burns. Remember that when the engine is hot, the fan may cut in: danger of injury. Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments: they might get caught by moving components. Do not add any oil with different specifications to those of the existing engine oil. The used engine oil and the replaced oil filter contain substances that may be dangerous for the environment. It is advisable to have oil and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership where they will be disposed respecting the environment and according to legal regulations. ENGINE COOLANT fig. 222-223 The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold and must range between the MIN. and MAX. marks on the reservoir. If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50% demineralised water and 50% PARAFLUUP of PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through the filler neck A until the level reaches MAX. A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLUUP and distilled water gives freeze protection up to –35°C. When the vehicle is used under particularly harsh weather conditions, we recommend using a 60-40 mixture of PARAFLUUP and demineralised water. PARAFLUUP anti-freeze is used in the engine cooling system. Use the same fluid as in the cooling system when topping up. PARAFLUUP may not be mixed with any other types of fluids. If this accidentally occurs, do not start the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. WARNING The engine cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, only replace the cap with another genuine one or the operation of the system may be adversely affected. Do not remove the cap from the reservoir when the engine is hot: danger of scalding.

The fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX mark. Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubricants” table (see “Technical Specifications”). NOTE Thoroughly clean the tank cap A and the surrounding surface. Take great care to ensure that impurities do not enter the reservoir when the cap is opened. For topping up, always use a funnel with integrated filter that has a mesh inferior or equal to 0.12 mm. IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this reason, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming into contact with painted parts. Should this occur, immediately wash with water. WARNING Brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event of accidental contact, immediately wash the affected parts with water and neutral soap. Then rinse thoroughly. If swallowed call a doctor straight away.

It does, however, need to be checked periodically at a Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make sure it is working correctly. The battery is located inside the passenger compartment, in front of the pedals. Remove the protective cover to gain access to it. WARNING When performing any operation on the battery or near it, always protect your eyes with special goggles. If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part with the same specifications. If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in this chapter will no longer be valid. Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance. Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic devices may cause severe damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you want to install accessories (alarms, radiophone, etc.): they will suggest the most suitable devices and advise you if a higher capacity battery needs to be installed. WARNING MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 218 Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire. WARNING Using the battery when the fluid is too low can damage it irreparably and generate a risk of explosion. Batteries contain substances that are very harmful to the environment. It is advisable to have the battery changed by a Fiat Dealership, where it will be disposed of properly and in accordance with the law. If the vehicle must remain unused for a long time at very low temperatures, remove the battery and take it to a warm place to avoid freezing. USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer, observe the following instructions: ❒ when you park the vehicle, ensure that the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed properly to avoid the ceiling lights remain on; ❒ the ceiling lights must be off. The vehicle is however provided with an automatic system for switching off internal lights; ❒ do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time when the engine is not running; ❒ before performing any operation on the electrical system, disconnect the negative battery cable; ❒ battery terminals should always be completely tightened. IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation, reducing its capacity and starting attitude. The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can happen as early as −10°C). Refer to the paragraph “Vehicle inactivity” in “Starting and driving” if the car is left parked for a long time. If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.) contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable devices from the Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the vehicle’s electrical system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether it should be integrated with a more powerful battery. Since these devices continue absorbing energy even when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if the vehicle is parked for a long period of 5 days, it is advisable to disconnect the negative battery terminal to maintain its charge. IN AN EMERGENCY If the vehicle is equipped with a battery disconnection function (disconnector), see the description of the procedure in the „Controls“ paragraph in the „Dashboard and controls“ section. MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 219 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WHEELS AND TYRES Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spacesaver wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold. It is normal for the pressure to increase when the vehicle is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in the “Technical specifications” section. Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 231: A normal pressure: tread evenly worn. B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges. C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre. The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the country where you are driving. IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 220 fig. 231 F0N0111m IMPORTANT NOTES ❒ Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent knocks against the curb, potholes or other obstacles if possible. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres; ❒ check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling or irregular tread wear. Contact a Fiat Dealership if required. ❒ avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres; ❒ if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately and change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, the suspensions and the steering system; ❒ a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres checked by skilled personnel if they have been fitted for longer than six years. Also remember to check the space-saver wheel very carefully; ❒ In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those with an unknown origin. ❒ If a tyre is replaced, also change the inflation valve. ❒ to allow an even wear between the front and rear tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse the direction of rotation. WARNING Remember that the road holding qualities of your vehicle also depend on the correct inflation pressure of the tyres. WARNING If the pressure is too low the tyre will get overheated, with the risk of serious damage. WARNING Avoid moving the tyres from the right side of the vehicle to the left side and vice versa. RUBBER HOSES As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned, follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in this chapter carefully. KNOWING YOUR CAR Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. SAFETY Careful inspections are therefore necessary. STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE AND CARE WARNING Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the use of temperatures exceeding 150 °C. The mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS INDEX 221 KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY WINDSCREEN WIPER Replacing the windscreen wiper blades fig. 232 Proceed as follows: BLADES Periodically clean the rubber part using special products; TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended. Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn. In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once a year. A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades: ❒ make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the windscreen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze product to release it if required; ❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor and overheating; ❒ lift the arm A of the wiper and position the blade so that it forms an angle of 90° with the arm; ❒ remove the press-fitted blade B from arm A; ❒ insert the new blade making sure it is locked. SPRAY NOZZLES Windscreen washer fig. 233 If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly check that there is fluid in the reservoir (see “Checking fluid levels” in this section). ❒ do not operate the windscreen wipers on dry glass. MAINTENANCE AND CARE WARNING TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad weather. INDEX 222 fig. 232 F0N0137m Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged, if necessary using a needle. BODYWORK The washer jets should be positioned by adjusting the angle of the sprays using a small straight-headed screwdriver. PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS The main causes of corrosion are: atmospheric pollution, salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates) and seasonal environmental conditions. The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is also not to be underestimated. On your vehicle, Fiat has implemented the best manufacturing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion. These include: ❒ painting products and systems which give the vehicle particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion; ❒ use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to corrosion; ❒ spraying the underbody, engine compartment, internal wheel arches and other parts with highly protective wax products; ❒ spraying of protective plastic material in the more exposed points: underdoor, inner mudguard parts, edges, etc...; ❒ Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of moisture which could cause rust to form inside. The jets must be directed at about 1/3 of the height from the window upper edge. HEADLAMP WASHERS Check the correct condition and cleanliness of nozzles at regular intervals. The headlamp washers come on automatically when the windscreen washer is operated with the dipped headlamps on.

For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the Warranty Booklet. ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK Paint Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet metal. Touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent rust formation. Use only original paint products for touchups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate” in the “Technical specifications” section). Normal maintenance of paintwork consists in washing the car: the frequency depends on the conditions and environment where the car is used. For example, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more often in areas with high levels of environmental pollution or on roads spread with salt. To correctly wash the vehicle proceed as follows: ❒ remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to it if the vehicle is washed in an automatic system; ❒ wash the body using a low pressure jet of water; ❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge; ❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather. Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where water may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to leave the vehicle outdoors for a while after washing it to give the water time to evaporate. Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork. Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do not park the vehicle under trees; the resinous substances released by many species give the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility of rust. To protect the paint more effectively, polish occasionally with special protective waxes; when the paint tends to cloud because of a build-up of smog, polish with slightly abrasive protective waxes. IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and carefully as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. Detergents pollute the environment. The vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the liquid used in the washing process. INTERIORS Periodically check that water is not trapped under the mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal. KNOWING YOUR CAR SAFETY Glasses To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products. Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the transparency. IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device. Engine compartment Wash the engine compartment thoroughly at the end of every winter. Be careful not to direct the jet of water onto electronic control units. Adequately protect the upper air vents to prevent damage to the windscreen wiper motor. Have this operation performed at a specialised workshop. IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After the washing operation, make sure that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or damaged. Front headlights IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning the front headlight plastic lenses. WARNING Never use flammable products, such as petrol, ether or rectified petrol, to clean the vehicle interior. The electrostatic charges which are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire. WARNING Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: risk of explosion Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.

It is advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery. Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of water and neutral detergent. The fabric upholstery of your vehicle is designed to withstand the normal wear and tear of your vehicle for a long time. You are however recommended to avoid strong and/or continuous scratching with clothing accessories such as metal buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and the like, as these items cause stress of the cover fabric that could lead threads to break and damage the upholstery. INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth and a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific products for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specifically designed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour of the treated parts to remove grease and tough stains. IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean the instrument panel. LEATHER STEERING WHEEL/GEAR KNOB These components must be cleaned with mild soap and water only. Never use alcohol and/or alcohol-based products. Before using off-the-shelves products designed for cleaning car interiors, make sure that they do not contain alcohol and/or alcohol based substances before using them. If window cleaner accidentally drips onto the steering wheel or gear lever knob, wipe away immediately and then wash the affected area with mild soap and water. IMPORTANT Be careful when using a steering wheel lock device, where applicable, to prevent damaging the leather upholstery by rubbing. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS KNOWING YOUR CAR IDENTIFICATION DATA H Maximum authorised weight on second axle (rear).

The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption: urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the vehicle; extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerations in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the vehicle: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h; mixed cycle: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extra-urban consumption. IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the vehicle, trim level/equipment/accessories, climate control system, vehicle load, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
