AUTObuttons and then to turn the
knobs to set the temperatures required
on the display.
It is possible to personalise required tem-

maximum difference of 7 °C.
This way the system will start working
completely automatically to reach the
comfort temperatures as quickly as pos-
sible. The system will set air temperature,
quantity and distribution and it will con-

HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
Observe the following:
❒always use the belt with the tap taut and
never twisted; make sure that it is free
to run without impediments;
❒after a serious accident, replace the belt
being worn at that time, even if it does
not appear damaged. Always replace
the seat belts if pretensioners have
been activated;
❒to clean the belts, wash by hand with
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in
the shade. Never use strong deter-
gents, bleach or dyes or other chemi-
cal substance that might weaken the fi-
bres;
❒prevent the reels from getting wet:
their correct operation is only guaran-
teed if water does not get inside;
❒replace the seat belt when showing sig-
nificant wear or cut signs.For optimal protection in the event of a
crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, their head is pro-
portionally larger and heavier than the rest
of the body, while the muscles and bone
structure are not completely developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are
necessary, other than adult seat belts. The
results of research on the best child re-
straint systems are contained in the Euro-
pean Standard EEC-R44. This Standard en-
forces the use of restraint systems classi-
fied in five groups:Group 0 - 0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+ - 0-13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weight
As it may be noted, the groups overlap
partly and in fact, in commerce it is pos-
sible to find devices that cover more than
one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the certi-
fication data, together with the control
brand, on a solidly fixed label which must
absolutely never be removed.

MESSAGES ON THE MULTI-
FUNCTIONAL RESETTABLE
DISPLAY
Check tire pressure
The message is visualized on the display in
the event that two or more tires turn out
to be under inflated. The display will show
the information regarding each tire in se-
quence.
In this event it is advisable to proceed as
soon as possible with the inflation of the
tires in order to return the pressure val-
ues back to the recommended ones (see
paragraph “ Recommended cold inflation
pressures” in the “Technical Data” chap-
ter).Insufficient tyre pressure
The message is visualized on the display
when the pressure of one or more tires
goes under a fixed threshold. In this way
the T.P.M.S. system informs the driver that
there is the possibility that one or more
tires are dangerously under inflated and
there probably is a puncture.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving
with one or more deflated tires since the
driveability of the vehicle can be jeopar-
dized. Stop the car trying not to brake or
to steer roughly. Immediately fix the tire
using the suitable kit (see the “Emergen-
cies” chapter) and refer to the Abarth
Dealership as soon as possible.
Tire pressure not suitable
for the speed
If one foresees to drive at a speed high-
er than 160 km/h, it is necessary to inflate
the tires to a higher pressure as recom-
mended in the “Recommended inflation
pressures” paragraph.
This message is viewed on the display in
the event the T.P.M.S. system (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) notes that
the pressure of one or more of the tires
is not suitable for the speed of the vehi-
cle at the moment (see what reported in
the “Insufficient tire pressure” paragraph
of this chapter).IMPORTANT In this event immediately
reduce your speed since the overheating
of the tire could jeopardize the perfor-
mance and the life of the tire, as well as,
in extreme cases, cause the tire explosion.
Very high radio frequencies
can cause troubles and in-
hibit the correct functioning of the
T.P.M.S. system.
This event is indicated to the driver
with a specific message (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). This
message will disappear automatical-
ly as soon as the radio frequency dis-
turbance ceases to perturb the sys-
tem.
