without any action by the driver if
certain conditions are met, including:
battery not sufficiently charged;
reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than about
three minutes.
automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can
be automatically restarted only by
fully depressing the clutch pedal. The
driver is asked to perform this operation
through the warning light flashing in
the instrument panel fig. 103 and,
where provided, the message in the
display.N.B.: If you stall the engine, for example
by releasing off the clutch pedal quickly
when in gear, if the Start&Stop system
is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by putting the gear lever into
neutral.
N.B.: If the clutch is not depressed
when the three minutes have elapsed
since the engine was stopped, the
engine can only be restarted using the

STARTING AND DRIVING

"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver does
not take any action for a period of
about 3 minutes, the Start&Stop
system will definitively stop the engine
to avoid fuel consumption.
The engine can only be started using
the key in such cases. N.B.: In any
case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop
system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the case of malfunctions the
Start&Stop system is disabled.
The driver is informed of the problem by
the general failure warning light A fig.
144, where provided, coming on with
an information message and the
system failure symbol B fig. 144 in the
control panel. In this case, contact a
Fiat Dealership.VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy pole fig. 145
If the vehicle is inactive, special care
must be taken to disconnect the
battery electrical power supply. This
procedure must be carried out by
disconnecting the rapid-release
negative terminal A from the negative
dummy pole B because there is a
battery status monitoring sensor D on
the negative battery terminal C which
must never be disconnected, except if
the battery is replaced.
Versions without dummy pole fig.
146
In the event of vehicle inactivity, special
attention must be paid to the
disconnection of the battery power
supply.Proceed as follows: detach the
connector A (by pressing button B)
from sensor C for monitoring the status
of the battery installed on the negative
battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced.

The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while adjusting
the tyre inflation pressure.
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency and
tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance of
the vehicle.
The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to the
driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with
a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warning
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
tyre low pressure control warning
light
switches on constantly, the
inflation pressure must be adjusted until
it reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
IMPORTANT In the case of deflation of
more than one tyre sequentially, without
switching off and on the engine, from
the second tyre involved the acoustic
signal is not activated, only the
dedicated signal is shown on the
display.
To prevent the signal from being stored
in the event of pressure loss of a
subsequent tyre (with deactivation of
the acoustic signal), the ignition key
must be turned to MAR and then to
STOP, each time pressure is restored.
131

TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
This can occur in any of the following
situations:
interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
Use of snow chains.
Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure control
sensor. Therefore, the tyre pressure is
not controlled by the system.
NOTE The vehicle may be equipped
with FiX&Go Automatic tyre repair
kit, space-saver wheel or full size spare
wheel (with or without original TPMS
sensor to measure tyre pressure).
After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the FiX&Go Automatic tyre
repair kit, the previous condition must
be restored, so that the
warning
light is off during normal driving.Space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided): the
space-saver wheel is not equipped with
a TPMS sensor. Once fitted, while
driving normally, the warning light
comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds, and then constantly). This
condition lasts until a wheel equipped
with an original TPMS sensor is fitted
on the vehicle.
Normal spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light comes on
(flashing for about 75 seconds, and
then constantly). This condition lasts
until a wheel equipped with an original
TPMS sensor is fitted on the vehicle.
The system is then restored and the
warning light switches off.
Normal spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light switches
off.
IMPORTANT In all the above-mentioned
cases, it is advisable to check the
spare wheel tyre pressure before
starting driving.
NOTE If the tyres are replaced, driving
the vehicle for short stretches, some
time might be needed before the
system is restored.IMPORTANT
WARNING
103)The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels provided. TPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
is equipped with TPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
104)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
105)TPMS does not relieve the driver from
the obligation to check the tyre pressure
every month; it is not to be considered
a replacing system for maintenance or a
safety system.
106)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even if
it is higher than the prescribed value, but
repeat the check when tyres are cold.
107)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (for example when
a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
132
STARTING AND DRIVING

108)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
109)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
110)Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure.
This prevents dampness or dirt from
entering the valve stem and thus
the pressure control sensor from being
damaged.
111)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original one are
used, it is recommended to have the
TPMS sensor operation checked by a
qualified repair centre.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 predefined
values: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker will be
applied to the windscreen showing the
top speed setting.
IMPORTANT The speedometer could
indicate a higher maximum speed than
the effective one, set by the Dealership,
in accordance with the regulations in
force.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic driving aid that
allows you to drive at a speed of
above 30 km/h on long and straight
dry roads (e.g. motorways) with
few driving changes at a preset
speed without having to press the
accelerator pedal. It is therefore not
recommended to use this device
on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do
not use it in town.
Activating the device
When the device is activated, warning
light
comes on together with the
relevant message in the instrument
panel (for versions/markets where
provided).
The speed adjustment function cannot
be activated in 1st or reverse gear; it
is advisable to activate the function
in 4th or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
activated, the vehicle speed may
exceed the memorised one.
112) 113)
133

Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system press the A fig. 149 button.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on
the front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction on irregular
grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on constantly.
PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper
fig. 150 and their function is to inform
the driver, through an intermittent
beeping noise, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer
to the bumper, the frequency of the
acoustic signal increases.
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”).

STARTING AND DRIVING

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic
converter leads to harmful exhaust
emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an
emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART
additive in the proportions shown on
the container. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
22)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK PLUG
Opening
1) Open flap A fig. 151, pulling it
outwards, hold cap B still, insert the
ignition key in the lock and turn it
anticlockwise.
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 refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the plug is
absolutely normal.
23)
WARNING
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.

138
STARTING AND DRIVING

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach
optimum operating temperature.
This results in a significant increase in
consumption levels (from +15 to +30%
on the urban cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy traffic, for
instance when travelling in queues
with frequent use of the lower gears or
in cities with many traffic lights. Winding
mountain roads and rough road
surfaces also adversely affect
consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.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.
116) 117)
WARNING
116)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.
117)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.

the hazard warning lights come on
automatically, as do the
and
warning lights in the panel.
The function switches off automatically
when the nature of the braking
changes. This function complies with
the relevant legislation currently in force.
REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
always check the headlight beam
alignment after replacing a bulb;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a
fuse blows” in this section.
120) 121)
24) 25)IMPORTANT The headlight inner
surface might be slightly misted: this
does not indicate a fault, it is a natural
phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting
will disappear rapidly when the
headlights are turned on. The presence
of drops inside the headlights indicates
infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
