IMPORTANT
17) The sensor must be clean of
mud, dirt, snow or ice in order for
the system to operate correctly.
Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while
cleaning them. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths. The sensors
must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary.
WARNING
86) The responsibility for parking
and other dangerous manoeuvres
always and in every case lies
with the driver. While carrying out
these manoeuvres, always make
sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the
area concerned. The parking
sensors are used to assist the
driver, who must never allow his
attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.
START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device
automatically stops the engine
each time the vehicle is stationary
and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off. This
improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel
consumption, the emission of
harmful gases and noise
pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the
engine stops with the gearbox in
neutral and the clutch pedal
released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding a speed
of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
103
Engine stopping is signalled by the
icon on the display.

Engine restarting

ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
18)
With the device activated, for
reasons of comfort, limiting
emissions and safety, the engine
does not stop in certain conditions,
including:
❒engine still cold;
❒particularly cold external
temperatures, if the corresponding
indication is provided;❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration in
progress (diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);
❒automatic climate control, if a
suitable thermal comfort level has not
yet been reached or MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system;
❒if the Hill Descent Control system is
active.
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting
harmful emissions and safety
purposes, the power unit
can restart automatically without
any action by the driver if certain
conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);

❒vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine
can be automatically restarted only
by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
NoteIf the engine stops and this is
not desired, due for example to the
clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is active, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by placing the gear lever in
neutral.
NoteIf the clutch is not pressed, when
approx. three minutes have elapsed
since the engine was stopped, the
engine can only be restarted using the
key.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions
through the Start&Stop system, if
the driver unfastens his/her seat
belt and opens the driver's door or
the passenger door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the
key. The driver is notified of this
condition by a buzzer, through the
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where
provided, by a message in the
display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver
does not take any action for a
period of about 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system will
definitively stop the engine to avoid
fuel consumption. The engine
can only be started using the key in
such cases.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR
OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the

connect the negative lead (-)
of the booster battery to the
negative pole C of the vehicle's
battery, but rather to an
engine/gearbox earth point (follow
the lead connection procedure
described in the "Jump starting"
paragraph in the chapter "In an
emergency").
IMPORTANT
18) If the climate comfort is to be
favoured, the Start&Stop system
can be deactivated, for a
continuous operation of the
climate control system.
WARNING
87) The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been
removed or turned to the STOP
position. When refuelling, make
sure that the car is switched off
with the key in the STOP position.
88) If the battery needs to be
replaced, always contact a Fiat
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (L6 105Ah/850A) and should
have the same characteristics.
89) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the vehicle is
switched off and the key is in the
STOP position. Follow the
instructions on the label on the

SPEEDOMETER
(speed indicator)
Indicator A shows the speed of the
car.
REV COUNTER
Indicator C shows the engine revs.
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 is normal and does not
indicate a fault. It may be caused,
for example, by the activation of the
climate control system or fan. In
these cases, a slow change in revs
is used to protect the battery
charge.FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Needle E shows the amount of fuel
left in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in
paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this
chapter).
The warning light on the indicator
switches on when 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 tank nearly
empty to prevent damaging the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point
to E and the warning light will
flash to indicate a fault in the
system. If this is the case, go to a
Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to
activate the additional Webasto
heater in reserve conditions.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle D shows the
temperature of the engine coolant
and starts supplying indications
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C. In normal use, the
needle could assume different
positions within the scale,
depending on the usage
conditions.
C - Low engine coolant
temperature.
H - High engine coolant
temperature.
The warning light on the indicator
may light up (and a message on the
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.
