TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
information on vehicle operation
when the ignition key is turned to
MAR. This function allows you to
define two separate trips, called "Trip
A" and "Trip B", for monitoring the
"complete mission" (journey) of
the vehicle in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions
can be reset (reset means start of
a new journey).
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to:
Outside Temperature
Range
Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instant consumption
Average speed A
Trip time A (driving time)
Reset Trip A
"Trip B", available on multifunction
display only, is used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled B
Average consumption B
Average speed B
Trip time B (driving time)
Trip B reset

panelWhat it means What to do
redBrake booster vacuum low
The warning light switches on in the event of brake
servo failure; in this case the pedal can become stiff
while braking.This failure in the brake servo does not affect the
braking efficiency of the system, but the power assisted
steering is reduced. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the vehicle checked.
IMPORTANT The brake system uses an electric pump
to increase the brake servo vacuum. In certain driving
situations, the device operation could be felt, but this
condition IS PART OF THE STANDARD SYSTEM
OPERATION.

The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) with the engine on
indicates either an anomaly of the EBD system or that
the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels
may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately.

Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on to indicate that the tyre
pressure is lower than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these
circumstances, optimal tyre duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.In this case it is advisable to restore the correct
pressure value.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tyres as vehicle handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.

It both front seat belts are unfastened
while the vehicle is travelling a few
seconds apart, the acoustic indication
will refer to the most recent event
and the two warning lights will proceed
with the visual indication independently.
REAR SEATS (warning
lights3—4—5—6—7)
The reminder cycle is run only when
any seat belt is unfastened (red
blinking). In this condition, the warning
light for the seat belt which has been
unfastened will start flashing red for
approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic
signal is also emitted.The visual
indication (blinking red) will start and
end independently for each warning
light if several seat belts are unfastened.
The warning light will become green
when the relevant seat belt is fastened
again. The rear seat warning lights
will go out, if the front seat belts are
fastened, regardless of the state of the
belt (red or green) approximately 30
seconds after the last signal.
All the warning lights will come on when
at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.

SAFETY
PRE-TENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a violent head-on crash or
side impact, rewind the seat belts a
few centimetres. In this way, they
ensure that the belts fit tightly to the
wearer before the restraining action
begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication. Any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.
61)
17)
LOAD LIMITERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To increase passenger safety, the
front and rear seat belt retractors (for
versions/markets where provided)
contain a load limiter which controls the
force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining
action in the event of a frontal collision.
GENERAL WARNINGS
FOR USING THE SEAT
BELTS
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant mothers: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child
if they are wearing a seat belt. Pregnant
women must position the lower part
of the belt very low down so that it
passes over the pelvis and under the
abdomen (see fig. 105).
While pregnancy progresses, the driver
must adjust both seat and steering
wheel to have full control over the
vehicle (pedals and steering wheel must
be easy to access). The maximum
clearance should be kept between the
abdomen and the steering wheel.

74)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
75)Do not use the same lower anchoring
to install more than one child restraint
system.
76)If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system is not fixed to all three anchorages,
it will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In an accident, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbag for
the driver and, for versions/markets
where provided, front airbag for the
passenger.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags (for
versions/markets where provided)
have been designed to protect the
front-seat occupants in the event of
head-on crashes of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between
the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore, failure to deploy of the
airbags in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the
bag inflate in the event of a frontal
impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures
which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.Front driver/passenger airbags (for
versions/markets where provided) are
not a replacement for, but rather a
complement to, the seat belts, which
should be worn at all times as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards, and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating.
The protection offered by the cushion is
compromised in such a case.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
vehicle wedging under other vehicles
or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or
guard rails);
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would not be
appropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.
77) 78)
The driver's and passenger's front
airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts.
96
SAFETY
79) 80) 81)

At their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the
passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal impacts (for
which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient). It is therefore always
necessary to wear seat belts.
FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S
SIDE
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 115.PASSENGER SIDE FRONT
AIRBAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in the
dashboard. This bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver fig. 116.
FRONT PASSENGER SIDE
AIRBAG AND CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
82)
Rearward-facing child restraint systems
must NEVER be fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger's airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYS comply with the instructions
on the label fig. 117 stuck on the
passenger side sun visor.Manual deactivation of
passenger side front
airbag and side bag for
pelvis, chest, shoulder
and head protection
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On Doblò versions for passenger
transport (M1 type-approval), if a child
must be carried on the front seat, if
a rearward-facing child restraint system
is used, the passenger side front airbag
and the side airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) must
be deactivated, because airbag
activation in case of collision can cause
fatal injuries to the child.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the
passenger's front and side airbags (for
versions/markets where provided),
refer to "Digital display" and
“Multifunction display” in the “Know
your vehicle” section.

WARNING
77)Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area and the seats. Never put
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger side of the dashboard since they could interfere with correct inflation of the passenger airbag
and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
78)Always drive with your hands on the rim of the steering wheel so that the airbag can inflate freely if required. Do not drive bent over the
steering wheel, but rather sit upright with your back firmly resting against the seat back.
79)The airbag deployment threshold is higher than that of the pretensioners. For collisions in the range between the two thresholds, it is
normal for only the pretensioners to be activated.
80)The airbag does not replace seat belts but increases their efficiency. Because front airbags are not deployed for low-speed crashes, side
collisions, rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected, in addition to any side bags, only by their seat belts, which must therefore
always be fastened.
81)In some versions, in the event of a failure of the
LED (located on the front ceiling light), thewarning light on the instrument panel
turns on and the passenger side airbags are deactivated.
82)When there is an active passenger airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front seat. Deployment of the
airbag in a crash could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the collision. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
side airbag when a rearward facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible in order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately
reactivate the passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.

SAFETY

The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.
NOTE
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.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warning
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.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by the
warning light
which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
WARNING
101)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.
102)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
103)The TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system
104)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
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
105)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.
