HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
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 conditions when travelling with
the headlights on the headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR posi-
tion and the dipped headlamps on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is laden, raising the light
beam. The direction of the beam must therefore be ad-
justed in this case.
After having travelled several kilometres,
check that the attachment retaining bolts
are still securely fastened.
WARNING
Never exceed the maximum permitted load
(see “Technical specifications”).

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 warn-
ing light Uin the instrument panel (together with the rel-
evant message in the display on some versions), when
these components are no longer in peak condition (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).
The goal of the system is to:
❒keep the system efficiency under control;
❒warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle mal-
function;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be in-
terfaced with appropriate equipment, which makes it pos-
sible to read the error codes memorized in the control
unit together with a series of specific parameters for en-
gine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by traffic authorities.
WARNING After eliminating the problem, to check the
system completely, Fiat Service Network run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long
journey.
Go to the Fiat Service Network as soon
as possible if warning light
Udoes not
light up when the ignition key is turned to MAR
or if, while travelling, the warning light comes on
either permanently or flashing (along with a mes-
sage on the display on certain versions). The op-
eration of the
Uwarning light may be checked
by the traffic authorities using specific devices. Re-
spect the regulations in force in the country where
you are driving.
WARNING
SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a speed limitation function
that can be set at the user’s request to one of four pre-
defined values: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function, contact the Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
Following the operation, a sticker will be applied to the
windscreen showing the top speed setting.
WARNING The speedometer could show a higher top
speed than the one set by the Dealership in accordance
with the regulations in force.

it is necessary to make sure that the vehicle is off
with the ignition key in the OFF position.
WARNING
For vehicles with a robotised transmission,
if the engine cuts out automatically on
a gradient, it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-) without
releasing the brake pedal. For vehicles with ro-
botised transmission, where the Hill Holder func-
tion is present, if the engine cuts out automati-
cally whilst on a hill, it is advisable to restart it
by moving the gear lever to (+) or (-) without re-
leasing the brake pedal to make the Hill Holder
function – which is only active when the engine
is running – available.

REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the pump
switches off. Further top ups could cause faults in the fu-
el supply system. If using/parking the vehicle in mountainous/cold areas for
a long time, you should refuel with locally available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused. If you ac-
cidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel supply system emptied
in addition to the tank.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 109
To open
1) Open the flap A-fig. 109 by pulling it outwards, keep the
cap B still, insert the ignition key in the lock and turn it an-
ticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it. The cap has
a device C that attaches it to the flap so it cannot be lost.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the flap as illustrated
in the diagram.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is on;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without touching the ac-
celerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the moment
the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel
warning light
Yremains on together with warning light
U, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try the other keys provided with
the vehicle. If you still cannot start the engine, perform
an emergency start (see “Emergency starting” in the “In
an emergency” section) and go to a Fiat Dealership.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an immobiliser: if the engine fails
to start, see the paragraph on “The Fiat CODE system” in
the “Dashboard and controls” section.
The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds of
operation, particularly after a long period of inactivity. This
is due to the hydraulic tappets, the timing system chosen
for petrol engine versions to reduce the number of ser-
vicing interventions, and affects neither functionality nor
reliability.
STARTING AND DRIVING
It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g. exces-
sive acceleration, long distances at high
speeds, excessive intense braking, etc.) during the
initial period of use.
To avoid draining the battery, do not leave
the ignition key in the MAR position when
the engine is off.
It is dangerous to run the engine in closed
environments. The engine takes in oxygen
and discharges carbon dioxide, carbon monox-
ide and other toxic gases.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is on;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights Yand
mon the instrument panel will turn on;
❒wait for the warning lights Yand mto turn off. The
hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without touching the ac-
celerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light
mgoes out. Waiting too long will waste the heating
work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT With the engine cold, the accelerator ped-
al must be fully released when you turn the ignition key to
AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If instrument panel warning light
Yremains lit when the
ignition key is at MAR, turn the key to STOP and then back
to MAR; if the warning light remains lit, try the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if the
engine still does not start.
Warning light mwill flash for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged crank-
ing to indicate a fault in the glow plug pre-
heating system. Use the vehicle normally if the en-
gine starts, but go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly at medium revs, and accelerate
smoothly;
❒do not demand maximum performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts
moving.
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light Ystays on steadily, you
can perform an emergency start by using the code on the CODE
card (see the “In an emergency” section).

HANDBRAKE
The handbrake is located between the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to engage the handbrake and en-
sure that the vehicle does not move.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a long drive, you should allow the en-
gine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by letting it
idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment
to fall.
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
The vehicle should be secured after sev-
eral clicks of the lever. If it is not, contact
a FIAT Dealership to have it adjusted.
WARNING
When the handbrake is on and the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
xwill come on.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❒lift the lever slightly and press release button A-fig. 126;
❒hold button A down and lower the lever. The xwarn-
ing light on the instrument panel will go out.
Depress the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally.

PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (first gear if parked uphill or reverse if fac-
ing downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is advisable to
block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not leave the ignition
key turned to MAR. Always remove the key when you
leave the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, and take
it with you.
USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever A-fig. 127 into the required position (the di-
agram is shown on the gear knob fig. 127).
IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged only when the ve-
hicle is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for
at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully depressed be-
fore engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and
grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift ring B under the
knob and at the same time move the gearstick to the right
and then backwards (as shown in the diagram).

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
GENERAL WARNINGS
Warning lights are accompanied by a specific message
and/or sound when applicable. These indications are brief
and precautionary and as such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained
in the Owner’s Handbook, which you are recommended
to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the informa-
tion in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT The fault indicators appearing on the dis-
play are divided into two categories: very serious and less
serious failures.
Very serious failures prompt a prolonged cycle of signals.
Less serious failures prompt a shorter cycle of signals.
Press SET ESC to stop the warning cycle in both cases.
Warning lights (or the symbol on the display) on the in-
strument panel will stay on until the cause of the failure
is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
If the warning light xturns on when trav-
elling (on certain versions together with
the message on the display), stop the car imme-
diately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
BRAKE FLUID LOW (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go off after a few
seconds.
Brake fluid low
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake flu-
id in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possi-
bly due to a leak in the circuit.
On some versions the display shows the associated
message.
x
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the handbrake is engaged.
On certain versions, there is also an audible warning if
the vehicle is moving.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on when travel-
ling, check that the handbrake is not engaged.
