IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 4 different positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering
locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. sound system,
central door locking system, etc.) can operate;
❒MAR-ON: driving position. All electrical devices are
enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an electronic safety
system that requires the ignition key to be turned back
to STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

Never extract the key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering wheel would
automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it.
This is always the case, even when the vehicle is
being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-sales operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installing an anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in
the vehicle failing to comply with regulations.
WARNING
If the ignition device is tampered with
(e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked
over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
Always remove the key from the vehicle
when leaving it in order to prevent
accidental engagement of the control.
Remember to engage the handbrake. Engage
first gear if the vehicle is parked uphill or
reverse gear if the vehicle is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is at STOP, remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until it locks.
Disengagement
Move the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition
key to MAR-ON.

Height adjustment
To raise the seat: whilst sitting, move the lever B
upwards (front part of the seat) or the lever C (rear
part of the seat) and shift your body weight away from
the part of the seat to be raised.
SEATS
Any adjustments should only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary.
WARNING
The fabric covers on your vehicle have
been dimensioned to be resistant to
normal wear and tear. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged rubbing
against clothing accessories, such as metal
buckles, bosses, Velcro strips and the like, which
by applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a small area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery.
Lengthwise direction adjustment fig. 26
Lift the lever A and push the seat forwards or
backwards: in driving position your arms should rest on
the rim of the steering wheel.
Once you have released the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat is
locked on the guides by trying to move it back
and forth. If it is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose control of the
vehicle.

Each time the lever is operated the lights will stay on
another 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
when this time has elapsed, the lights will go out
automatically.
The warning light 3on the instrument panel will light
up and the corresponding message will appear in the
display (see “Warning lights and messages”) for as long
as the function is activated. The warning light comes on
when the lever is operated and stays on until the
function is automatically deactivated. Each movement of
the lever only increases the amount of time the lights
stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the lever pulled towards the steering wheel for
more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the vehicle
depending on the light sensitivity setting: the greater the
sensitivity, the less outside light needed to activate the
exterior lights being turned on. The sensitivity of the
dusk sensor is adjusted by means of the “Setup menu”
for the display. Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, place the left lever in
the unstable position for less than half a second. The
direction indicator on the side selected will flash five
times and then switch off automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This device allows the illumination of the space in front
of the vehicle for a preset time.
Activation fig. 75
With the ignition key in the OFF position or extracted,
pull the lever towards the steering wheel and operate
the lever within 2 minutes of switching the engine off.

“Smart washing” function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) to operate the windscreen washer jet, fig. 78.
Keeping the lever pulled for more than half a second,
with just one movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time.
The wipers stop operating four strokes after releasing
the lever.
A stroke 5 seconds later completes the wiping
operation. A: windscreen wipers off;
B: intermittent operation.
With the lever in position B, turn ring nut F to select
one of four different speeds for the intermittent
operation mode:
,= very slow intermittent operation
-- = slow intermittent operation
--- = medium intermittent operation
---- = fast intermittent operation
C: continuous slow operation;
D: continuous fast operation;
E: temporary fast operation (unstable position).
Temporary fast operation in position E is limited to the
time that the lever is manually held in this position. The
lever returns to position A when it is released,
automatically stopping the windscreen wipers.
IMPORTANT Replace the wiper blades as specified in
the “Maintenance and care” section.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor protection which prevents
operation for a few seconds may trip. If the
operation is not restored, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

The front air bags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❒during collisions against highly deformable objects
that do not affect the vehicle front surface (e.g.
bumper collision against guard rail, heaps of gravel,
etc.);
❒jamming of the vehicle underneath other vehicles or
protective barriers (e.g. underneath a truck or
a guard rail); in this case, the bags would offer no
additional protection with respect to the seat belt
and their deployment is unnecessary. Failure to
deploy in such cases does not consequently indicate
a system fault.
FRONT AIR BAGS
The vehicle is provided with front airbags for the driver
and the passenger.
The front driver/passenger air bags have been designed
to protect the occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion
between the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions
(side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not
a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate in
the event of a head-on crash. The bag will inflate
instantaneously placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures which could cause
injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are not
a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
The volume of the front airbags at maximum inflation
fills most of the space between the steering wheel and
the driver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat
belt could move forward and come into contact with
a bag which is still in the opening phase. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in such a case.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
the steering wheel, to the passenger’s
side air bag cover or on the roof side lining.
Do not place objects on the passenger side
dashboard because these could interfere with
the correct opening of the airbag (e.g. mobile
phones) and cause severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor
collisions (for which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient). For this reason, the seat belt must be
worn at all times. In the event of side collisions, the seat
belts hold occupants in the correct position and prevent
them being thrown out of the car by a very violent
collision.
