LOOKING AFTER
THE SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate con-
trol system must be turned on at least
once a month for about ten minutes.
Have the system efficiency checked
before the summer at a Fiat Deal-
ership.STEERING COLUMN
STALKS
LEFT-HAND STALK
The left-hand stalk operates most of
the external lights.
The external lights can only be
switched on when the ignition key is
at MAR. The instrument panel and
the heating/ventilation (or climate con-
trol system) controls and the cigar
lighter ring will come on with the ex-
ternal lights.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should
R12 fluid be used as it is incom-
patible with the system compo-
nents and contains CFC.

DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF) (for Multijet
versions 1.3 85 HP and 1.9 120
HP)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a me-
chanical filter, integral with the exhaust
system, that physically traps particulates
present in the exhaust gases of Diesel
engines.
The diesel particular filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost totally par-
ticulates in compliance with current /
future law regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the
engine control unit records a set of da-
ta (e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem-
peratures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late how much particulates has been
trapped by the filter.Since this filter physically traps partic-
ulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at
regular intervals by burning carbon par-
ticles.
Reclaiming procedure is controlled
automatically by the engine control unit
according to the filter conditions and
the conditions of use of the vehicle.
During reclaiming the following phe-
nomena could take place: idling slight
increase, fan activation, slight smoke in-
crease, high exhaust temperatures.
These situations shall not be considered
as faults and they do not affect vehicle
performance and environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed,
refer to paragraph “Warning lights and
messages”.

It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The
engine consumes oxygen and
gives off carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other poisonous
fumes.
Do not touch the high
voltage cables (spark plug
leads) when the engine is
running.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
1) Ensure that the handbrake is up.
2)Put the gear lever into neutral.

EMERGENCY
START-UP
If the Fiat code cannot deactivate the
engine immobilising system, the warn-
ing lights ¢(Y) and Ustay on and
the engine will not start. Follow the
emergency start-up procedure to start
the engine.
Read the whole procedure carefully
before trying to carry it out. If you
make a mistake, you must turn the ig-
nition key back to STOPand repeat
the whole operation from the begin-
ning (step 1).
1)Read the 5-figure electronic code
given on the CODE card.
2)Turn the ignition key to MAR.3)Press and hold down the accel-
erator pedal. The injection system
warning light Uwill come on for
about 8 seconds, and then go out. At
this point release the accelerator ped-
al and get ready to count the flashes
of the Uinjection warning light.
4) Count the number of flashes that
corresponds to the first figure of the
code on the CODE card, then press
the accelerator pedal and keep it there
until the Uwarning light comes on
for four seconds and then goes out;
release the accelerator pedal.
5) The Uwarning light will start
flashing again: after it has flashed the
number of times that corresponds to
the second figure on the CODE card,
press the accelerator pedal to the
floor and keep it there.
6)Do the same for the remaining fig-
ures on the CODE card.7)Once the final figure has been en-
tered, keep the accelerator pedal
pressed. The Uwarning light will light
up for four seconds and then go out;
release the accelerator pedal.
8)The Uwarning light will flash
rapidly for about 4 seconds to indicate
that the operation has been complet-
ed correctly.
9) Start the engine by turning the ig-
nition key from MARto AVV.
If, however, the Uwarning light
stays on, turn the ignition key to
STOPand repeat the procedure
from step 1).
IMPORTANT After an emergency
start-up, you should contact a Fiat

121IN AN EMERGENCY
BUMP STARTING IF A TYRE IS
PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel call for some
precautions as listed below. Catalysed vehicles must
not be bump started
(pushed, towed or coast-
ed down hill) as this could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it be-
yond repair.
Remember that until
the engine has started the
brake booster and hy-
draulic power steering systems
will not work and a greater effort
will therefore be required to de-
press the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.
Alert other drivers that
the vehicle is stationary in
compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning
lights, warning triangle etc.
Passengers on board should
leave the vehicle, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed.
If the wheel is being changed on
a steep or badly surfaced road,
place wedges or other suitable
material under the wheels to
stop the vehicle.
The spare wheel is vehicle-spe-
cific. Never use the wheel on oth-
er models. Never fit other mod-
el spare wheels on your vehicle.
Do not use the jack for
loads over the value indi-
cated on the plate.
The jack should only be used to
change a wheel on the vehicle for
which it was designed. It should
not be put to other uses or em-
ployed to raise other models of
vehicle. Under no circumstances
should it be used when carrying
out repairs under the vehicle.
An incorrectly positioned jack
may cause the vehicle to fall.
