USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly specified in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, some controls
position or construction is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook .
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is anyway a textual indication of the current
chapter at the side of each even page.
Abbreviations used in this Owner Handbook:
LHD— Left-Hand Drive
RHD— Right-Hand Drive
M/T— Manual Transmission
A/T— Automatic Transmission
This manual explains operation of LHD ans RHD vehicles. Illustrations represent LHD operation. Depending on the item,
however, RHD illustrations may also appear.

VEHICLE CHANGES / 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 in the context of after-sales service must carry the following
label: FCA Italy S.p.A. 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.
Traffic police may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the vehicle. This
may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
FCA Italy S.p.A. and not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally. Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the
vehicle body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage
instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer. The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without
an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition
to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health. If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle
and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive Entry/Keyless Entry-N-Go system may occur.

NOTE The factory setting is “Disable
automatic rear window demister”.
WARNING
60)For safety, make sure you have a clear
view through all windows.
IMPORTANT
18)When using the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase as the air
conditioning compressor is switched on/off
automatically. While the vehicle with an
automatic transmission is stationary, fully
depress the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
19)When using the mode selection dial
between the
andpositions, prevent
fogging by moving the air selection lever to
select outside air (refer to “Air selection
lever”).
20)Use of the
(recirculation) position
for extended time may cause the windows
to fog up.21)If the outside air is dusty or otherwise
contaminated, or if high cooling
performance is desired, set air selection
lever to the
(recirculation) position and
the temperature control dial all the way to
the right. Switch to the
(outside)
position periodically to increase ventilation
so that the windows do not become
fogged up.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf (indicated on a specific plate in
the engine compartment). The use of other
coolants affects the efficiency and condition
of the system. Also the compressor
coolants used must be compatible with the
indicated coolant.

IMPORTANT
85)Do not run the engine at high speeds
(for example, by revving it or by
accelerating rapidly) immediately after
starting it.
86)Do not stop the engine immediately
after high-speed or uphill driving. First allow
the engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.
MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
The shift pattern is shown on the
gearshift lever knob. To start off,
depress the clutch pedal all the way
down and shift into 1st or “R” (Reverse)
position. Then gradually release the
clutch pedal while depressing the
accelerator pedal.
205)
87) 88) 89) 90)
During cold weather, shifting may be
difficult until the transmission lubricant
has warmed up. This is normal and not
harmful to the transmission.
If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the
clutch pedal again; the shift will then be
easier to make.
On vehicles equipped with 6M/T, in
case of hot weather condition or long
time cruising with high speed, a speed
limitation function may work to restrict
the oil temperature rising of the manual
transmission. After the oil temperature
drops to the appropriate level, the
speed limitation function is cancelled.Moving the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position
Vehicles equipped with 5M/T
To shift into the “R” (Reverse) position
from 5th gear, move the gearshift lever
to the “N” (Neutral) position, and then
move it to the “R” (Reverse) position.
Vehicles equipped with 6M/T
Depress and hold the gearshift lever to
the “R” (Reverse) position.

Vehicles with 5 M/T, use 5th gear whenever vehicle speed allows, for maximum fuel economy.
Vehicles with 6 M/T, use 6th gear whenever vehicle speed allows, for maximum fuel economy.
WARNING
205)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
87)Do not put the gearshift lever into the
reverse position while the vehicle is moving
forward. Doing so could damage the
transmission.
88)Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving as this will cause
premature clutch wear or damage.89)Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral)
position.
90)Do not use the gearshift lever as a hand
rest, because this can result in premature
wear of the transmission shift forks.
91)Do not depress the gearshift lever
when moving it to any position other than
the “R” (Reverse) position. If you always
depress the gearshift lever when moving it,
you could unintentionally move the gearshift
lever to the “R” (Reverse) position and
cause an accident and/or a transmission
fault.

AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
SPORT MODE 5A/T
(where provided)
During running-in period or immediately
after reconnection of the battery cable,
there may be a case where gear shifts
are not made smoothly. This does not
indicate a faulty transmission. Gear
shifts will become smooth after the
transmission has been shifted several
times by the electronic control system.
Selector lever operation
The transmission has 5 forward gears
and 1 reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected
automatically, depending on the speed
of the vehicle and the position of the
accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the
main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).
While depressing
the brake pedal,
move the selector
lever through the
gate.
Move the selector
lever through the
gate.
92)
To avoid erroneous operation, move the
selector lever firmly into each position
and briefly hold it there. Always check
the position shown by the selector lever
position display after moving the
selector lever.
If the brake pedal is not depressed and
held, the shift-lock device activates to
prevent the selector lever from being
moved from the “P” (PARK) position.
When the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” (PARK)
position
When the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to
another position while the brake pedal
is pressed and held down with the
ignition switch at the “ON” position or
the operation mode in ON, the battery
may be flat or the shift-lock mechanism
may be malfunctioning. Immediately
have your vehicle checked by a Fiat
Dealership.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift
the selector lever as follows.

Selector lever positions
“P” PARK
This position locks the transmission to
prevent the vehicle from moving. The
engine can be started in this position.
“R” REVERSE
This position is to back up.
93)
“N” NEUTRAL
At this position the transmission is
disengaged. It is the same as the
neutral position on a manual
transmission, and should only be used
when the vehicle is stationary for an
extended length of time during driving,
such as in a traffic jam.
94) 95) 96)
“D” DRIVE
This position is used for most city and
highway driving. The transmission will
automatically change its gear
depending on road and driving
conditions.
97)
Sport mode
Whether the vehicle is stationary or in
motion, sports mode is selected by
gently pushing the selector lever from
the “D” (DRIVE) position into the manual
gate (A). To return to “D” range
operation, gently push the selector lever
back into the main gate (B).
In sports mode, gear shifts can be
made rapidly simply by moving the
selector lever backward and forward.
For vehicles equipped with the shift
paddles, shift paddles at the steering
wheel can also be used to perform
gearshift. In contrast to a manual
transmission, the sports mode allows
gear shifts with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
If your vehicle is equipped with the shift
paddles, you can shift into sports mode
with shift paddles when the selector
lever is in the main gate as well. Also,
you can return to the “D” range
operation in any of following ways.
When returning to “D” range operation,
the selector lever position display will
change to “D” (DRIVE) position.
Pull the + (SHIFT UP) side shift
paddle forward (toward the driver) for
over 2 seconds.
Stop the vehicle.
Push the selector lever from the “D”
(DRIVE) position into the manual gate
(A) and push the selector lever back
into the main gate (B).
+ Shift up
The transmission shifts up by one gear
with each operation.
— Shift down
The transmission shifts down by one
gear with each operation.
98) 99) 100)
Only the 5 forward gears can be
selected. To reverse or park the vehicle,
move the selector lever to the “R”
(REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) position as
required.
To maintain good running performance,
the transmission may refuse to perform
an upshift when the selector lever or the
shift paddles is moved to the “+ (SHIFT
UP)” position at certain vehicle speeds.
Also, to prevent over-revving of the
engine, the transmission may refuse to
