27)To keep the clutch in good condition,
do not use the accelerator to keep the
car stationary (e.g. when stopped facing
uphill); the clutch could be damaged by
overheating. Use the brake pedal instead
and operate the accelerator only when you
are ready to set off.
START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move
off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops
with the brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained even
if the brake pedal is not depressed, if
the gear lever is in position N.Note: The engine can only be stopped
automatically after a speed of about
10 km/h is reached, to prevent the
engine from being repeatedly stopped
when driving at walking pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled
by a fig. 128 symbol on the display,
depending on the trim level.
With the device activated, for reasons
of comfort, limiting emissions and
safety, the engine does not stop in
certain conditions.
Restarting the engine
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
128F0V0040
109

WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N, place it
in any other gear, otherwise release
the brake pedal or move the gear lever
to (+), (–) or R.
For reasons of comfort, limiting
pollutant emissions and safety
purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on
behalf of the driver.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
The system can be activated/
deactivated using the button A fig. 129
on the control panel.
When the function is not active, the
button LED is on. In addition, on some
versions, additional information
concerning the deactivation or
activation of the Start&Stop system is
given through a message on the
display.SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, if the driver
unfastens his/her seat belt and opens
the driver's door or the passenger door,
the engine can be restarted only by
using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition by
a buzzer, through the instrument panel
warning light fig. 128 flashing and,
where provided, by a message in the
display.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy pole fig. 130
If the vehicle is inactive, special care
must be taken to disconnect the
battery electrical power supply. This
procedure is carried out by
disconnecting the rapid release
negative terminal A from the negative
false pole B because there is a battery
status monitoring sensor D at the
negative battery pole C which should
never be disconnected except when
the actual battery is replaced.
Versions without dummy pole fig.
131
In case of car inactivity, special
attention must be paid due 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.

JUMP STARTING
When jump starting, never connect the
negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole C of the vehicle
battery, but rather to either the false
pole B or to an engine/gearbox earth
point fig. 132.
97) 98) 99) 100)
WARNING
96)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. Replace
the battery with a new one of the same
type and specifications.
97)Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the vehicle is switched off and the
key is in the OFF position. Please follow the
instructions on the decal near the front
crossmember. It is advisable to extract the
key when there are other people in the
vehicle.98)The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed
or turned to the OFF position. When
refuelling, make sure that the vehicle is
switched off with the key in the OFF
position.
99)For vehicles with robotised gearbox, if
the engine is stopped downhill, the engine
must be restarted by the gear lever
towards (+) or (-) without releasing the
brake pedal. For vehicles with robotised
gearbox and Hill Holder function, in case of
engine automatic stop with the car
downhill, the engine must be restarted
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-)
without releasing the brake pedal, so that
the Hill Holder function becomes available,
as it works only with engine running.
100)If climate comfort is to be favoured,
the Start&Stop system can be deactivated,
for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.
TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
101) 102) 103) 104) 105) 106) 107) 108) 109)
DESCRIPTION
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal). The indication
continues until the pressure
corresponds to or exceeds that
specified 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.
Tyre pressure must always be adjusted
according to the cold inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the vehicle stand
for at least three hours or a travel
shorter than 1.6 km after an interval of
three hours.
132F0V0043
111

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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 133 to ON and
press the accelerator pedal so that the
vehicle reaches the desired speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it: the
vehicle speed is memorised and you
can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible by
simply pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal, the
vehicle will return to the speed
memorised previously.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. 133.
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. 133 when
the device is adjusting the speed (for
versions/markets, where provided);
133F0V0092
114
STARTING AND DRIVING

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. 133 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
110)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
111)In the event of device faults or failures,
turn the ring nut A to OFF and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful
for setting off in poor grip conditions
(snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the
drive force to be distributed in the
best way over the front axle when one
wheel is slipping.
Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those slipping
more than the others), thereby
transferring the drive force to those
which have greater grip on the ground.
This function can be activated manually
by pressing the A fig. 134 button on
the control panel and operates under
50 km/h. When this speed is exceeded,
it is automatically deactivated and it is
reactivated again when the speed
falls below 50 km/h.Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system press the A fig. 134 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.

If they are open, they can cause the
system to send false signals: always
close the rear doors.
Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
WARNING
112)The sensor must be free of mud, dirt,
snow or ice in order for the system to
work. Be careful not to scratch or damage
the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid
using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of vehicle
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
113)Parking manoeuvres, however, are
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The parking sensor is designed
to assist drivers, who must still never
allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres even if
performed at low speed.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
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
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
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
whose specifications are not suitable
for the usage temperature, it is
advisable to mix PETRONAS
DURANCE DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the 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.
28)
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you 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
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
Opening
1) Open the flap A fig. 136 by pulling it
outwards, keep the 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.

WARNING
28)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
introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine. Empty the tank.
If the engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time, you must
not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of
the supply circuit as well.
29)Do not approach naked flames or lit
cigarettes to the fuel tank filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
30)Methane refuelling stations are not
authorised to refill the cylinders when the
inspection date has expired. The check
valve prevents the methane from flowing
back to the fuel filler.
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.
