ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND
FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch that, in the
event of a crash, comes into operation by cutting off the
fuel supply and turning off the engine as a consequence.
When the inertia switch cuts in, this cuts off the fuel
supply and also activates the hazard warning lights, side
lights and courtesy lights while releasing all the doors
and displaying a message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. An additional safety switch is also
present that is activated in the event of impact to cut off
the electrical supply. In this way, fuel is prevented from
escaping if the pipes are broken as well as the formation
of sparks or electrical discharges following damage to
the vehicle electrical components.
IMPORTANT After an accident, remember to remove
the key from the ignition device to avoid draining the
battery.
If no fuel leaks or damage to vehicle electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) are detected after the impact and the
vehicle is able to set off again, reactivate the automatic fuel
cut off and electrical supply switches (
for versions/markets
where provided)
following the procedure described below.
If, after a crash, you smell fuel or see
leaks from the fuel system, do not reset
the switches to avoid the risk of fire.
WARNING
Reactivating the fuel cut-off switch fig. 92
Press the button A to reactivate the fuel cut off switch.

With the doors opened to 180 degrees,
no locking system is effective. Do not
use this opening with the vehicle parked on
a gradient or when it is windy.

HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
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. IMPORTANT Follow the instructions contained in the
assembly kit carefully. Assembly must be performed by
qualified personnel.
Respect the regulations in force
concerning maximum clearance.
Distribute the load evenly and when
driving, bear in mind the increased
sensitivity of the vehicle to side wind.
WARNING
Never exceed the permitted weight (see
“Technical data” section).

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
Uwarning
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.
The goal of the system is to:
❒keep the system efficiency under control;
❒warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle
malfunction;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorated
components.
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.
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.
If, when the ignition key is turned to the
MAR-ON position, the Uwarning 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 Umay 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.
