STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the "heart" of the
vehicle: seeing how you can exploit
all of its potential to the full.
We’ll look at how to drive it safely in
any situation, so that it can be a
welcome companion, with our
comfort and our wallets in mind.STARTING THE ENGINE .................136

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle
decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance
increases;
❒is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged;
❒whereas, if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the indication will
stop after about 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, warning indications in
the event of manoeuvres alongside
walls.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by
the sensors, only the nearest one
is considered.FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged
by the warning light in the
instrument panel switching on
together with the message in the
multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided
(see chapter "Warning lights and
messages”).
97)
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket. The sensors are
automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT
If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted without towing a trailer, it
is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow
hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the central sensors.GENERAL WARNINGS
98)
❒When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor.
❒Sometimes, objects located very
near the rear of the vehicle are not
detected and could therefore
damage the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.
The following conditions may
influence the performance of the
parking assistance system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the
sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint.
❒The sensor may detect a non-
existent obstacle (echo noise) due to
mechanical noises, for example
when washing the vehicle, in case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The signals sent out by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g. truck
pneumatic brakes or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.

IMPORTANT
22) 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 beyond
repair and consequently invalidate
the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally refuel
with another type of fuel, do not
start the engine, and drain 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.
23) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near the fuel tank filler:
fire risk. Keep your face away
from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
PRACTICAL ADVICE
FOR REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND
HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
❒Have checks and adjustments for
vehicle maintenancecarried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled
servicing plan”.
❒Checktyrepressure regularly, at
least once every four weeks.
Excessively low pressures will
increase consumption because
rolling resistance will be higher. In
addition, this wears the tyre more
quickly and impairs performance.
❒Only usesnow tyreswhen
the weather conditions make them
absolutely necessary. They increase
consumption and noise.❒Do not travel witha heavy load: the
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
❒Removeroof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the vehicle's aerodynamic
penetration and have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
❒When transporting particularly large
objects, use atrailerif possible.
❒Use the vehicle's air vents if possible:
travelling with the windows open
impairs aerodynamics.
❒Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The vehicle’s
heated rear window, additional
headlights, screen wipers and heater
fan require a considerable amount
of energy; this increases fuel
consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
❒Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to
+30%). If the temperature outside is
not too extreme, try and use the
air vents.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
The vehicle must be equipped with
a type-approved tow hook and
adequate electrical system to tow
trailers. Installation should be carried
out by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a
trailer, steep hills are harder to climb,
braking spaces increase and
overtaking takes longer depending
on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly
using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the
vehicle tow hook will reduce the
loading capacity of the vehicle by
the same amount.To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded
(given in the vehicle registration
document) account should be taken
of the fully laden trailer, including
accessories and luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits
specific to each country you are
driving in, in the case of vehicles
towing trailers. In any case, the top
speed must not exceed 80 km/h.
99) 100)
WARNING
99) The ABS device with which the
vehicle is equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
100) Never modify the braking
system of the vehicle to control
the trailer brake. The trailer
braking system must be fully
independent from the hydraulic
system of the vehicle.
SNOW TYRES
Fiat Dealerships will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyres for the
customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used,
inflation pressures and the
specifications of snow tyres, follow
the instructions given in the
"Wheels" paragraph of the
"Technical specifications" section.
The winter features of these tyres
are reduced considerably when the
tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace
them in this case.
Due to snow tyre characteristics,
under normal conditions of use
or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower
than that of standard tyres. Limit
performance according to the use
for which they were approved.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for
ensuring long vehicle life under the
best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series
of checks and services every
30,000/35,000 km (depending on
the version).
It is, however, important to
remember that scheduled servicing
does not completely cover all the
vehicle's requirements: even in the
initial period before 30,000/35,000
km, and then subsequently between
one service and another, ordinary
care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up
fluid levels, checking tyre pressures
etc...
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
Coupons are required by the
manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established times.If during each operation, in addition
to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements
or repairs, these may only be carried
out with the express agreement of
the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership in the
event of any minor operating failure,
without waiting for the next service
coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
trailer towing, the interval between
scheduled maintenance services
must be reduced.
