Restoring the stored
speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by depressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the stored speed can be
restored as follows:
accelerate progressively until a
speed close to that stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
press button B fig. 153.
Increasing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
by pressing the accelerator and
memorizing the new speed reached;
or
by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will
correspond to a slight increase in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk upwards will increase the
speed continuously.
Reducing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
or
by moving the stalk downwards (-)
until the new speed, which will
automatically remain memorised, is
reached.Each movement of the stalk will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
by turning ring nut A to the OFF
position;
if the engine is stopped (leaving the
stalk ring nut at ON), when the ignition
key is next turned to ON, Cruise
Control will be activated automatically.
Deactivating the
function
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
by pressing the brake pedal when
the device is adjusting the speed:
by pressing the clutch pedal when
the device is adjusting the speed;
by pressing button B fig. 153 when
the device is adjusting the speed (for
versions/markets, where provided);
by pressing the accelerator pedal (in
this case the system is not actually
turned off but the acceleration request
takes priority; the cruise control remains
activated, without the need to the
press button B fig. 153 to restore the
previous conditions once the
acceleration is over).
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
with the vehicle speed below the
set limit
in the event of system failure.
WARNING
112)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
113)In the event of device faults or failures,
turn the ring nut A to OFF and contact a
Fiat Dealership.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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”).
114)
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
115)
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.
The performance of the parking
assistance system may also be affected
by the position of the sensors. For
example by a change in the ride setting
(caused by the wear of the shock
absorbers, suspension), changing the
tyres, overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the vehicle to be lowered.
Detection of obstacles in the upper
part of the vehicle (particularly in the
case of vans or chassis cabs) may not
be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could strike the
lower part of the vehicle.
The parking sensors work properly
with the swing doors closed.
140
STARTING AND DRIVING

Avoidpointless actionssuch as
revving up when at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. The latter
action, like double-declutching, is
unnecessary and causes increased fuel
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection:select a high gear
as soon as possible (taking into
account normal engine operation and
traffic conditions) without pushing
the engine to high revs during
the intermediate gears. Using low gears
at high revs to get lively acceleration
increases fuel consumption, harmful
emissions and engine wear.
Vehicle speed:fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed of
the vehicle increases. Keep your speed
moderate and as even as possible,
avoiding unnecessary braking and
acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased
emissions. Keeping a safe distance
from the vehicle in front helps to
maintain a steady speed.
Acceleration:accelerating violently
severely affects consumption and
emissions. Acceleration should be
gradual and should not exceed the
maximum engine torque rate.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.

the pressure shown in the Owner
Handbook or on the specific label
appears on the pressure gauge 7, stop
the compressor by pressing the
ON-OFF button 5 again;
disconnect the cartridge 1 from the
compressor, by pressing the release
button 8 and lifting the cartridge 1
upwards fig. 206.If the pressure gauge 7 fig. 205
indicates a pressure lower than 1.8 bar
/ 26 psi 15 minutes after starting the
compressor, switch off the compressor,
disconnect the sealing fluid tube 4
from the tyre valve and remove
the cartridge 1 from the compressor fig.
206.
Move the vehicle by approximately 10
m to promote the distribution of
sealant; stop the vehicle safely, operate
the handbrake and restore pressure
using the black inflation pipe 9 fig. 208
to reach the required pressure. Also
in this case, if the pressure is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi after 15 minutes, do
not resume driving but contact a
Dealership.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
position the car in a safe and suitable
area and engage the handbrake. Take
the compressor and restore pressure
using the black inflation tube 9 fig. 208.
If the pressure shown is higher than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure
and drive safely to a dealership as soon
as possible. If the pressure is lower
than 1.8 bar / 26 psi after 15 minutes,
do not resume driving but contact a
Dealership.INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the vehicle safely, as shown
above, and operate the handbrake;
extract the black inflation tube 9 fig.
208 and screw it firmly onto the tyre
valve. Follow the instructions shown in

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of
the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, avoid any
metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally
coming into contact.
29)
131)
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the electric power steering
system are not active until the engine
is started, so you will need to apply
much more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
WARNING
29)Never use a fast battery-charger for
emergency starting of the engine as this
could damage the electronic systems
of your vehicle, particularly the ignition and
fuel supply control units.
WARNING
131)This procedure must be performed by
qualified personnel as incorrect actions
may cause high-intensity electrical
discharge. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not
cause sparks.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the fuel supply cut-off with the
engine consequently switching off;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
the switching on of the interior lights;
switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press
the dedicated button on the
dashboard).
132)When the system has been triggered,
the message “Fuel cut off, see
handbook” is displayed on some
versions.
Check carefully for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
After a collision, turn the ignition key
to STOP to prevent the battery from
running down.
The following procedure should be
carried out to restore the correct
operation of the vehicle:
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
activate the right direction indicator;
deactivate the right direction
indicator;
209F0V0147
169

WARNING
133)Before starting towing operations,
turn the ignition key to MAR and then
to STOP, without extracting it. If the key is
extracted, the steering lock engages
automatically and it is consequently
impossible to steer the wheels.
134)Clean the threaded seat carefully
before fastening the ring. Before towing the
vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is
fully tightened in its appropriate housing.
Do not start the engine whilst the vehicle is
being towed.135)When towing, remember that greater
effort is required on the brake pedal in
order to brake, since the brake servo is not
providing assistance. Do not use flexible
cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements. During towing operations,
make sure that the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components. When
towing the vehicle, comply with the specific
rules of the highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct. Do
not start the engine whilst the vehicle is
being towed.
WARNING
30)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the highway
code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transport via a breakdown vehicle. Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles
off the road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing operations using ropes
or other non-rigid devices. Respecting the
above conditions, towing must take place
with two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.

145)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
37)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install
accessories (alarms, radiophone, etc.):
they will suggest the most suitable devices
and advise you if a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.
38)If the vehicle needs to be off the road
for a long period under conditions of
intense cold, remove the battery and take it
to a heated location, otherwise it may
freeze.
WARNING
6)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. To
replace your battery, we recommend
contacting your Fiat Dealership to dispose
of your old battery in full respect of the
environment and in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations.
RECHARGING THE
BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is provided for information
purposes only. This operation should be
performed at a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT If a "quick-type" battery
charger is used with the battery fitted
on the car, before connecting it
disconnect both cables of the battery
itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.
To recharge, proceed as follows:
IN THE ABSENCE OF THE
START&STOP SYSTEM
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the poles;
turn on the charger;
when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery;
reconnect the terminal to the
negative battery pole.WITH START&STOP
SYSTEM
Versions with dummy pole fig. 220
disconnect the quick release
negative terminal A from the dummy
negative terminal B; this is because
a battery status monitoring sensor D is
fitted on the negative battery terminal
C and should never be disconnected
except for when the battery is actually
replaced;
connect the positive cable of the
charger to the positive pole of the
battery and the negative cable to the
dummy negative terminal B;
turn on the charger;
after the recharge, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;

SERVICING AND CARE

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre rested
and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase
when the vehicle is used; for the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in
the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 226:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In
any case, follow the laws in force in the
country you are in.
IMPORTANT
As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes or
other hard obstacles. Driving for long
stretches over bumpy roads can
damage the tyres;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. Contact
a Fiat Dealership if required;
avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the side walls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by specialised
personnel if they have been fitted for
longer than 6 years. Remember to
check the spare wheel very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
If a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
to allow even wear between the
front and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping them on
the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of rotation.
149) 150) 151) 152)
WARNING
149)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
150)If tyre pressure is too low, the tire may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
151)Do not switch tyres from the
right­hand side of the vehicle to the
left­hand side, and vice versa.
152)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.

9. 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.
Driving style
1. After starting the engine you should
drive away immediately and slowly,
avoiding high revs. Do not warm up the
engine at low or high revs when the
vehicle is stationary; this causes the
engine to warm up more slowly, thereby
increasing fuel consumption, emissions
and mechanical component wear.
2. Avoid pointless actions such
as revving up when at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. The latter
action, like double-declutching, is
unnecessary and causes increased fuel
consumption and pollution,
3. Gear selection: select a high gear as
soon as possible (taking into account
normal engine operation and traffic
conditions) without pushing the engine
to high revs during the intermediate
gears. Using low gears at high revs to
get lively acceleration increases fuel
consumption, harmful emissions and
engine wear.4. Vehicle speed: fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed of
the vehicle increases. Keep your speed
moderate and as even as possible,
avoiding unnecessary braking and
acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased
emissions. Keeping a safe distance
from the vehicle in front helps to
maintain a steady speed.
5. Acceleration: accelerating violently
severely affects consumption and
emissions. Acceleration should be
gradual and should not exceed the
maximum engine torque rate.
