The system consists of:
❒radio power cables;
❒rear speaker cables (located next to the parcel shelf)
(for versions/markets where provided);
❒two tweeters on the door mirror trims;
❒two midwoofers on the lower part of the front doors;
The vehicle should always be evacuated
after the key has been removed or turned
to the OFF position. During refuelling operations,
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.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise climate comfort,
the Start&Stop system can be disabled to
allow continuous operation of the climate control
system.

SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
Observe the following precautions for correct seat belt
maintenance:
❒always make sure the belt is well stretched and never
twisted; make sure that it is free to run without ob-
structions;
❒replace the belt after a serious accident, even if it does
not appear damaged. Always replace the seat belt if the
pretensioners were deployed;
❒To clean the belt, wash by hand with water and mild
soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Do not use
strong detergents, bleach, paints or any other chemi-
cals which could damage the belt fibres;
❒prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct op-
eration is guaranteed only if water does not get inside;
❒replace the seat belt if it shows significant signs of wear
and tear.
If the belt has been subjected to heavy
stress, for example after an accident, it
should be changed completely together with the
anchors, anchor fastening screws and the preten-
sioner. In fact, even if the belt has no visible de-
fects, it could have lost its resilience.
WARNINGCARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimum protection in the event of a crash, all pas-
sengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EU countries ac-
cording to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child’s head is larger and heav-
ier in proportion to his/her body and the child’s muscu-
lar and bone structures are not fully developed. For this
reason, they require restraint systems which are differ-
ent from those used by adults to protect them in the event
of an accident.
The result of research in relation to the best protection
for children is illustrated in European Regulation ECE-R44,
which divides the restraint systems into five groups in ad-
dition to making their use compulsory:
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
As you can see, the groups overlap partly and, in fact, there
are devices on sale that cover more than one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data along
with the control mark on a label firmly secured to the child
seat which must never be removed.

DANGER: Do not put cradle seats facing backwards on the front seat if the front
passenger airbag is enabled. Deployment
of the airbag in an accident could cause
fatal injuries to the child. It is advisable to
carry children on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an accident.
Child seats must not be fitted on the front seat
of vehicles with a passenger airbag; their deploy-
ment in an accident, however serious, could cause
fatal injuries to the child. If necessary, children can
travel in the front seat, if the front passenger
airbag can be disabled. In this case, check that the
airbag is actually deactivated by making sure the
“ warning light appears on the instrument pan-
el (see “Front passenger airbag” in the “Front
airbags” section). Also, the passenger seat should
be as far back as possible to avoid contact be-
tween the child seat and the dashboard.
WARNINGOver 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint
systems, children are considered as adults and wear seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight group.
These devices are recommended, having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.

❒if you need to deactivate the passenger airbag, always
check that warning light
“has lit up on the instrument
panel to make sure that it has actually been deactivated;
❒carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child
restraint system, which are mandatory. Keep the in-
structions in the vehicle along with the other papers and
this handbook. Do not install second-hand child seats
without instructions;
❒always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling the
webbing;
❒never carry two children in the same retaining system;
Group Weight range Front passenger seat Rear passenger seat Rear passenger seat(first row) (second row)

Traditional child seats and Isofix child seats can be fitted
together. An example of such a seat is shown in fig. 120.
The Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group 1. Spe-
cific Isofix child seats cover the other weight groups. These
seats must be designed, tested and type-approved specif-
ically for this car (refer to the list of cars attached to the
child seat). Due to its different anchoring system, the child
seat must be attached to the dedicated lower metal rings
A - fig. 121, located between the backrest and rear cush-
ion. After removing the rear parcel shelf (if present), se-
cure the upper belt (provided with the child seat) to ring
B-fig. 122 (one on each side) located behind the rear seat
cushion.
Note To prevent possible scoring of the table seat back-
rest, with folded rear seat (for versions/markets, where
provided), the mounting ring Isofix B - fig. 122 (one on each
side) is covered with a cloth cap, to be removed for cor-
rectly fastening the child seat. The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child seat and the special
“Bimbo Fix” seat are available from Lineaccessori Fiat.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child seat and the special
G 0/1 seat are available from Lineaccessori Fiat.
For any further details on installation/use, refer to the in-
struction manual for the child seat.
Fit the child seat when the vehicle is sta-
tionary. The child seat is correctly an-
chored to the brackets when you hear the click.
Follow the instructions for assembly, disassembly
and positioning that the child seat manufacturer
must supply.

Depress the clutch pedal fully to change
gear correctly. Therefore, the floor area
under the pedals should be clear: ensure that any
rubber mats are flat and do not interfere with the
pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if
light, can wear out the inner components
of the gearbox over time. The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do not drive with
your foot resting on the clutch pedal, however
slightly. For versions/markets where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut in by interpret-
ing the incorrect driving style as a fault.
SAVING FUEL
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise harm-
ful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxides,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
1. Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
2. Check tyre pressures regularly, at least once every
four weeks. Excessively low pressures will increase
consumption because rolling resistance will be high-
er. In addition, this wears the tyre more quickly and
impairs performance.
3. Only use snow tyres when the weather conditions
make them absolutely necessary. They increase con-
sumption and noise.
4. Do not travel with a heavy load: the weight of the vehicle (especially when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved tow
hitch and adequate electrical system to tow trailers. In-
stallation must be performed by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors in
accordance with the highway code of the country in which
you are travelling.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are hard-
er to climb, braking distances increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than con-
stantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle tow hitch will re-
duce the loading capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount.
Consider the weight at full load, including accessories and
luggage, to make sure you do not exceed the maximum
towable weight (shown in the log book).
Respect each country’s speed limits for vehicles towing
trailers. In all cases, the top speed must not exceed
80 km/h.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-ups prevent the
engine from reaching its optimum running temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to +30% on
the urban cycle) and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue with
frequent use of low gears or in cities with lots of traffic
lights, causes fairly high fuel consumption. Mountain roads
and uneven surfaces also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. at level crossings) the en-
gine should be switched off.
