STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the "heart" of the vehicle:
seeing how you can exploit all of its
potential to the full.
We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome
companion, with our comfort and
our wallets in mind.STARTING THE ENGINE .................130

PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper
fig. 152 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”).
97)
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
98)
❒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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

23)
IMPORTANT
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.
SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM),
etc.).
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR
REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND
HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
❒Have checks and adjustments for
vehicle maintenancecarried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled
servicing plan”.
❒Checktyrepressure regularly, at
least once every four weeks.
Excessively low pressures will
increase consumption because
rolling resistance will be higher. In
addition, this wears the tyre more
quickly and impairs performance.
❒Only usesnow tyreswhen
the weather conditions make them
absolutely necessary. They increase
consumption and noise.❒Do not travel witha heavy load: the
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
❒Removeroof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the vehicle's aerodynamic
penetration and have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
❒When transporting particularly large
objects, use atrailerif possible.
❒Use the vehicle's air vents if possible:
travelling with the windows open
impairs aerodynamics.
❒Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The vehicle’s
heated rear window, additional
headlights, screen wipers and heater
fan require a considerable amount
of energy; this increases fuel
consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
❒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.
147

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.
99) 100)
WARNING
99) 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.
100) 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.
SNOW TYRES
Fiat Dealerships will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyres for the customer's
requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation
pressures and the specifications of
snow tyres, follow the instructions given
in the "Wheels" paragraph of the
"Technical specifications" section.
The winter features of these tyres are
reduced considerably when the tread
depth is below 4 mm. Replace them in
this case.
Due to snow tyre characteristics, under
normal conditions of use or on long
motorway journeys, the performance of
these tyres is lower than that of
standard tyres. Limit performance
according to the use for which they
were approved.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres
with a maximum speed index below the
one that can be reached by the vehicle
(increased by 5%), place a notice in
the passenger compartment, plainly in
view, which states the maximum speed
allowed by the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for
ensuring long vehicle life under the best
conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services every 30,000/
35,000 km (depending on the version).
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not
completely cover all the vehicle's
requirements: even in the initial period
before 30,000/35,000 km, and then
subsequently between one service and
another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks
involving topping up fluid levels,
checking tyre pressures etc...
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
Coupons are required by the
manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may only be carried out with the
express agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT It is advisable to contact a
Fiat Dealership in the event of any
minor operating failure, without waiting
for the next service coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
trailer towing, the interval between
scheduled maintenance services must
be reduced.
