VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228.Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the 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.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR
and wait for the
andwarning lights to switch off. Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS /
ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the
occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to
be integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT 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.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the following label
.
Fiat authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised centre, in a workmanlike
fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that involve modifications to the
features of the vehicle. This may also cause lapse of the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change or either directly or
indirectly related to it.
Fiat shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Fiat and/or
not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic warning.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the
information in this section in the event of a failure warning.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE APPLIED
The warning light switches on when the key is turned to
MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light turns on when travelling (on certain
versions together with the message on the display) stop
the vehicle immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake applied
The warning light switches on when the handbrake is
engaged.Release the handbrake, then check that the warning
light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
The vehicle has the following active
safety systems:
ABS;
EBD system;
Brake Assist system;
ESC system;
ASR system;
Hill Holder system;
MSR system;
For the operation of the systems, see
the following pages.
ABS SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the braking
system, which prevents one or more
wheels from locking and slipping
regardless of the road surface
conditions and braking intensity,
ensuring control of the vehicle even
during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking
Force Distribution) completes the
system allowing the brake force to be
distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To get the maximum
efficiency of the braking system,
a bedding-in period of about 500 km is
needed: during this period it is better
to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS 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.
53) 54) 55)
FAULT INDICATIONS
ABS fault
ABS failure is indicated by the
warning light on the instrument
panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the
multifunction display on some versions)
(see “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the braking system will still
be effective, although without the
extra capacity offered by the ABS.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by the
and
warning lights on the instrument
panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the
multifunction display on some versions)
(see “Warning lights and messages”).
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.

SAFETY

BRAKE ASSIST
(integrated ESP
emergency braking
assistance)
(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.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the
versions equipped with ESP, in the
event of ESC system failure (indicated
by the
warning light coming on
together with a message in the
multifunction display, where provided).
WARNING
53)When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot, but keep the pedal pushed
down; in doing so you, will stop in the
shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
54)If the ABS system intervenes, this
indicates that the traction of the tyres on
the road is nearing its limit. You must slow
down to a speed compatible with the
available traction.55)The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it; you
should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
56)If only the
instrument panel
warning light comes on (with a message in
the multifunction display on some
versions), stop the vehicle immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Any
loss of fluid will affect the brake system
functionality, both conventional and
ant-lock wheels.
ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the event
of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain
directional control.
The ESC 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 ESC, ASR and
Hill Holder systems (for
versions/markets where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of the
warning light in the instrument panel,
to inform the driver that the vehicle is
in critical stability and grip conditions.
