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. 134-135.

HANDBRAKE fig. 154
The handbrake lever is located to the left side of the
driver’s seat. Pull the lever upwards to engage the
handbrake and ensure that the vehicle does not move.
Four or five notches are normally sufficient to brake the
vehicle on flat ground, while nine or ten may be
necessary on a steep slope with the vehicle loaded.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up and the ignition
key is at
MAR-ON, the instrument panel warning light
xwill turn on. Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and press the release
button
A;
❒keep button Apressed and lower the lever.
The warning light
xon the instrument panel will
turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally.
IMPORTANT Apply the handbrake lever only when
the vehicle is at a standstill or with the vehicle in
motion only in the event of a fault in the hydraulic
system. If exceptional use is made of the handbrake
with the vehicle in motion, moderate traction is
advisable in order not to cause locking of the rear end
with consequent swerving of the vehicle.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the
vehicle is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced
downhill) and leave the wheels steered.
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 ignition switch to prevent draining
the battery. Always remove the key when you leave
the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the ignition
key when leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you.
