FLAT TYRES
The warning light on the di-
al turns on (together with
message on the display and the
buzzer), when there is a pressure drop
in one or more tyres.
In this way the T.P.M.S. system warns
the driver that one or more tyre/s
is/are flat (i.e. punctured).
IMPORTANTStop travelling with
one or more flat tyre/s since road
holding could be jeopardised. Stop the
car without braking or steering
sharply. Change immediately punc-
tured wheel with space-saver spare
wheel (where provided - see section
“In an emergency”) and contact Fiat
Dealershipas soon as possible.TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING
SYSTEM FAILURE
The warning light on the dial turns
on (together with the message on the
display) when a failure is detected in
the T.P.M.S. system (where provided).
Contact Fiat Dealershipas soon as
possible.
Should one or more wheels without
sensor be fitted, the instrument pan-
el warning light will come on (togeth-
er with the message on the display)
and stay on until fitting again the four
wheels with sensors.

HEADLAMPS
XENON LAMPS (where fitted)
Xenon lamps work with a voltaic arc
in a pressure Xenon saturated envi-
ronment, in place of the traditional fil-
ament.
The produced light is far greater than
that of traditional lamps, both for its
quality (lighter) and its lighting range.
The advantages in using such lamps
are the following: less eyes fatigue, im-
proved driver’s orientation and driving
safety, especially with the bad weath-
er, with fog and/or inadequate road
signs, illumination of side bands usu-
ally in the shadow.Illumination of side bands consider-
ably improves driving safety because
the driver is able to identify other road
users on the road margins (pedestri-
ans, bikers and motor-bikers).
When the lights come on, the volta-
ic arc tension is very high, but then it
falls.
The maximum light is obtained after
0.5 seconds after turning the head-
lamps on.
The great light produced by this type
of headlamps requires an automatic
system for maintaining the headlight
beam constant and preventing dazzling
other vehicles in the event of sudden
braking, acceleration or while carrying
heavy loads. Never load the rack with
more than the weight al-
lowed (see the “Technical
specifications” section).
Be careful not to knock
the tailgate into objects
on the roof rack.
After travelling a few
miles, check that the an-
chorage bolts of the at-
tachments are still fully tight.

The electro-mechanic automatic
control system for the light beam po-
sition is enough to maintain the light
beam constant and makes the slant
compensating device useless.
Xenon light duration is very long and
a malfunction is unlikely to happen.
IMPORTANTHave them replace
only at a Fiat Dealership.HEADLAMP BEAM
POSITIONING
(Xenon light versions excluded)
The correct positioning of the head-
lamp beams is very important for the
comfort and safety, not only of the
person driving the vehicle, but also all
other road users.
This is also covered y a specific law.
To ensure that you and other drivers
have the best visibility conditions when
travelling with the headlamps on, the
headlamps must be set properly.
Have the headlamp positioning
checked at a Fiat Dealership.SLANT COMPENSATION
(Xenon light versions excluded)
When the vehicle is loaded, it
“slopes” backwards. This means that
the headlight beam rises. In this case it
is necessary to return the beam to the
correct position.
Check the positioning of
the headlight beams
every time you change
the load to be carried.

Use the electric adjuster A-fig. 164:
Position 0- on or two people in the
front seats;
Position 1- five people;
Position 2- five people + luggage in
the luggage compartment;
Position 3- eight people + luggage in
the luggage compartment or driver +
the full load allowed all stowed in the
luggage compartment.FOG LIGHT POSITIONING
Have the headlamp positioning
checked at a Fiat Dealership.ABS
The car is equipped with an ABS
brake system which prevents the
wheels from locking when braked and
exploits grip to the maximum making
the car controllable even in emergency
braking.
The operation of ABS is felt by the
driver through a light pulsation of the
brake pedal and a noise.
This should not be considered as a
fault in the brake system but rather in-
dicates the ABS has intervened. It
warns the driver that the car has
reached grip limits and consequently
the speed should be changed accord-
ing to the road conditions.
The ABS system is in addition to the
basic braking system of the car. In the
event of a failure, the ABS will be dis-
abled and the car can be driven as with
a normal braking system without ABS.
