andwarning lights to switch
off. Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with Comfort-matic transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral).
Then depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with Dualogic™transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral). Then
depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after purchasing the vehicle, you want to install accessories that require electric power (with the risk that they gradually drain the battery),
contact the Fiat Dealership, which will evaluate the overall electrical consumption and make sure that the electrical system in the vehicle
can handle the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system is automatically
activated when the vehicle is started.
FAULT INDICATIONS
In the event of a fault, the ESC will be
automatically switched off and the
warning light will come on
permanently on the instrument panel,
along with a message on the
multifunction display (for versions/
markets where provided) (see "Warning
lights and messages" section). The
LED on the ASR OFF button will also
light up. Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting on
slopes. It is automatically activated
in the following conditions:
uphill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%, engine
running, brake pedal pressed and
gearbox in neutral or gear other than
reverse;
downhill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%, engine
running, brake pedal pressed and
reverse gear engaged.When setting off, the ESC system
control unit maintains the braking
pressure at the wheels until the torque
necessary for starting is reached, or
in any case for a maximum of 1.75
seconds, allowing your right foot to be
moved easily from the brake pedal to
the accelerator.
If the vehicle has not departed after
1.75 seconds, the system will
deactivate automatically by gradually
releasing the brake force.
During this release stage, the typical
brake disengagement noise indicating
that the vehicle is going to move
imminently will be heard.
Fault indications
Any system fault is indicated by the
turning on of the
warning light on
the instrument panel with digital display
and the
warning light on the
instrument panel with multifunction
display (for versions/markets where
provided) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake, therefore do not
leave the vehicle without activating the
handbrake, switching off the engine
and engaging first gear.
54) 55)
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip
Regulator)
This is a traction control system that
cuts in automatically every time one or
both drive wheels slip.
Depending on the slipping conditions,
two different control systems are
activated:
if the slipping involves both drive
wheels, the ASR intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
if the slipping only involves one
of the drive wheels, it intervenes
automatically braking the wheel that is
slipping.
The action of the ASR system is
particularly helpful in the following
circumstances:
slipping of the inner wheel on bends
due to dynamic variations in the load
or excessive acceleration;
excessive power transmitted to the
wheels, also in relation to road surface
conditions;
acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy road surfaces;
in the case of loss of grip on a wet
surface (aquaplaning).
79

EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
stays on steadily, you can perform
an emergency start by using the code
on the CODE card (see the “In an
emergency” section).
22)
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the
engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a long drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.
WARNING
91)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
WARNING
18)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive accelerations, long distances at
top rpm, excessive intense braking, etc.)
as soon as the engine is started.19)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
20)If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates an
anomaly in the glow plug pre­heating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
21)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by a buzzer.
22)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.
PARKING THE
VEHICLE
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever fig. 122 is located
between the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement:
Pull lever upwards until the vehicle is
secured. The warning light
comes
on with the key at MAR.
Handbrake disengagement:
slightly raise lever A and hold button B
fig. 122 pressed, checking that the
warning light switches off in the
instrument panel

PARKING THE VEHICLE
93) 94)
Proceed as follows when parking and
leaving the vehicle:
engage a gear (1stgear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the key in the MAR
position to prevent the battery from
running down.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission (Comfort-matic or
Dualogic™), wait for the letterPto
appear on the display before releasing
the brake pedal.
Versions with COMFORT-MATIC
transmission or DUALOGIC™
transmission
To park safely, it is essential to engage
1
stgear or reverse (R), with your foot on
the brake pedal and, if the road is
sloping, to operate the handbrake; it is
also essential to wait for the engaged
gear to disappear from the display
before releasing the brake pedal.IMPORTANT NEVER leave the vehicle
with the transmission in neutral (N)
or, on versions equipped with automatic
(Comfort-matic orDualogic™)
transmission, before putting the shift
lever in thePposition.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
With the vehicle stationary and a
gear engaged, always keep the brake
pedal pressed until you decide to
set off, then release the brake and
accelerate gently;
during prolonged stops with the
engine running, it is advisable to keep
the gearbox in neutral (N);
In order to safeguard the efficiency
of the clutch, do not use the
accelerator to keep the vehicle
stationary (e.g. when stopped on an
incline);
the clutch could overheat and be
damaged; use the brake pedal and only
operate the accelerator pedal when
you decide to set off;
only use second gear when you
need greater control for starting
manoeuvres on surfaces with poor grip;
if, with reverse gear (R) engaged,
you have to engage first gear or vice
versa, only do this when the vehicle is
completely stationary and with the
brake pedal pressed;
although it is strongly inadvisable, if
you are driving downhill and, for
unexpected reasons, you let the vehicle
move forward with the transmission in
neutral (N), when you engage a gear,
the system will automatically engage
the best gear to transmit the correct
drive torque to the wheels depending
on the vehicle's speed;
WARNING
92)The vehicle should be secured after
several clicks of the lever. If it is not,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have it
adjusted.
93)Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you.
94)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If
the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge
or stone.
106
STARTING AND DRIVING

PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper
fig. 135 and their function is to inform
the driver, through an intermittent
beeping noise, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer
to the bumper, the frequency of the
acoustic signal increases.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
112)
OPERATION WITH A
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.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
113)
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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

TYRE REPAIRING AND
PRESSURE RESTORING
PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can carry out the procedure safely.
The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the car (anyway
comply with the laws in force in the
country you are driving in);
Insert the cartridge 1 containing the
sealant in the proper compartment of
the compressor 2, pressing it down
hard fig. 181. Remove the speed limit
sticker 3 and apply it in a clearly visible
position fig. 185;
wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 4
fig. 181. If a 250 ml cartridge is present
the housing of the transparent tube is
provided with removable ring to
facilitate extraction. Make sure that the
ON-OFF button 5 fig. 183 is in the off
position (button not pressed);
plug the electric connector 6 fig. 182
into the 12V socket of the vehicle and
start the vehicle engine;
operate the compressor by pressing
the ON-OFF button 5 fig. 183. When
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. 184.If the pressure gauge 7 fig. 183
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.
184.
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. 186
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. 186.
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.
