EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
allows continuous diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
Uwarning
light on the instrument panel (together with a relevant
message in the multifunction display, for versions/
markets where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section), when these components are no
longer in peak condition.
The goal of the system is to:
❒keep the system efficiency under control;
❒warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle
malfunction;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorated
components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate equipment, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the control
unit together with a series of specific parameters for
engine operation and diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by traffic control authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check
the system completely, Fiat Dealerships run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for
a long journey.
If, when the ignition key is turned to the
MAR-ON position, the Uwarning light
either does not come on or, when driving,
it comes on constantly or flashing (along with
a message in the multidirection display,
for
versions/markets where provided
) contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of
the warning light Umay be checked by the
traffic control authorities using specific devices.
Always comply with the traffic regulations in
force in the country where you are driving.

Detection distances
Central action range: 140 cm ±10 cm
Side action range: 60 cm ±20 cm
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
FAILURE WARNING
Any parking sensor failures will be indicated when
engaging reverse by the
twarning light in the instrument
panel together with the message in the multifunction
display coming on for versions/markets where provided
(see “Warning lights and messages” section).
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the rear bumper,
fig. 136 and their function is to inform the driver,
through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the
reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer to the
bumper, the beeping becomes more frequent.
WARNING BUZZER
When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent beeping is
automatically activated.
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;
❒remains constant if the distance remains unchanged;
if this situation concerns the side sensors, the
buzzer will stop after about 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, warning indications in the event of
manoeuvres along walls.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically disabled when
the electric cable plug of the trailer is fitted into the
vehicle tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again when the
trailer 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.
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.
The driver always has ultimate
responsibility for parking and other
dangerous manoeuvres. While manoeuvring,
always make sure that no-one is in the area
concerned (especially children) or animals.
The parking sensors are designed to assist
drivers: in any case, you must always pay the
utmost attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when carried out at low
speed.
WARNING
For correct operation, sensors must
always be clean from mud, dirt, snow or
ice. Be careful not to scratch or damage
the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths. The sensors should be
washed with clean water, possibly with some car
shampoo.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles
that may be above or below the sensors.
❒Objects close to the vehicle, in certain
circumstances are not detected and could therefore
cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged.
The following conditions may influence the performance
of the parking sensor 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.

SOUND SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
For radio operation, consult the Supplement attached to
this Owner Handbook.
SOUND SYSTEM CAPABILITY
(for versions/markets where provided)
The system consists of:
❒sound system power cables
❒front speaker connection cables
❒aerial power cable
❒2 tweeters A on the front pillars (30 W max power
each), fig. 137;
❒2 mid-woofers B in the front doors (165 mm
diameter, 40 W max power each)
fig. 138;
❒radio aerial lead.
❒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 by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems 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.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case burden the electric supply, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides
suggesting the most suitable devices from Lineaccessori
Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle’s electric system is able to
withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery. The sound system must be installed in the place
occupied by the central oddments compartment, where
you will find the wiring.
For connection to the existing devices
supplied in the vehicle contact a Fiat
Dealership to prevent any problems that could
impair vehicle safety.
WARNING
Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard
wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation
of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp,
repeated braking or on long descents. Make
sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke
(mats, etc.)

RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmission equipment (e.g.: ETACS mobile
phones, CB radio systems and so on) should not be
used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial roof-
mounted is fitted.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may, in addition to potential damage to the health of the
passengers, cause malfunctions in the vehicle electronic
systems, compromising the safety of the vehicle.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle
body.
As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is
concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the instructions
for use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer. INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the
following label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of
transceivers provided that installation is carried out at
a specialised shop, in a workmanlike fashion and in
compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic authorities may not allow the
vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that modify
vehicle specifications. This may also invalidate the
warranty in relation to faults caused by the change or
either directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused
by the installation of accessories either not supplied or
recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed
in compliance with the provided instructions.

REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
OPERATION AT LOW TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel thickens
due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply system.
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 fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is advisable to
mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions
shown on the container with the fuel. Pour the additive
into the tank before the diesel 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 situation it is also advisable to keep the fuel tank
more than 50% full. PREPARATION FOR TELEPASS DEVICE
IN REFLECTIVE WINDSCREEN
(for versions/markets where provided)
If the vehicle is equipped with a reflective windscreen,
install the Telepass in the appropriate area shown in
fig. 139-140.

The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in
pressure in the tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the device inside
the flap as shown in fig. 141.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the first
click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top-ups could
cause faults in the fuel feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 141
When refuelling, open the flap A then undo the cap B
turning the ignition key anticlockwise; the cap has
a device C to prevent it being lost.Only use diesel fuel that conforms to
European specification EN590. 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 and empty the tank. If the engine has run,
even for a very short time, you will need to have
the entire fuel system emptied in addition to
the tank.
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank opening:
fire risk. Keep your face away from the fuel
filler to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust gases of diesel
engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been adopted to
eliminate almost all particulates in compliance with
current/future legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine
management control unit records a set of data (travel
time, type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will
then calculate how much particulate has been trapped
by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular intervals by burning
carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically
by the engine management control unit according to the
filter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
There may be a limited increase in the engine idle speed
during the regeneration, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust. These are not faults;
they do not impair vehicle performance or damage the
environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed, refer to the
“Warning lights and messages” section.PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel
engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF).
The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during
operation. Therefore do not therefore park the
vehicle on inflammable materials (grass, dry
leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
WARNING
The catalytic converter also reaches
high temperatures during normal
operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the
body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
The reel may block when the vehicle is parked on
a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled and in
the event of sudden braking, collisions and on high
speed bends.SAFETY BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
fig. 142
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and
rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it
into the buckle B, until the locking click is heard.
On removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the
seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent
it from twisting.
SAFETY
Do not press button C-ig. 142 when
driving.
WARNING
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT fig. 143
The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle at a standstill.
WARNING
To adjust, use button A-fig. 143 and raise or lower
handle B.
Always adjust the seat belt height to the passenger’s
body: This precaution may considerably reduce the risk
of injury in the event of a collision.
