Switching the heating
system off
Deactivation of the system, depending
on the type of activation (automatic
or manual), may be:
❒automaticwhen the programmed
duration is over; when the set time
is over, the display switches off.❒manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
In both cases, the heating warning light,
the display lighting and the passenger
compartment heater fan go off and
burning stops.
The fluid circulation pump continues to
work for around two minutes to
dissipate as much heat as possible; the
heater can be turned back on during
this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes
off when battery voltage is low to allow
the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level is
above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require
the assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine
coolant system fluid" paragraph. The
water in the heating circuit must
contain a minimum percentage of
10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, consult
only a Fiat Dealership and use only
original parts.
MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter). This
will guarantee safe and economic
operation of the heater as well as a long
duration.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

❒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
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 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.
IMPORTANT
16) The sensor must be clean of
mud, dirt, snow or ice in order for
the system to operate correctly.
Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while
cleaning them. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths. The sensors
must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary.
WARNING
82) The responsibility for parking
and other dangerous manoeuvres
always and in every case lies
with the driver. While carrying out
these manoeuvres, always make
sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the
area concerned. The parking
sensors are used to assist the
driver, who must never allow his
attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT
INFORMATION
The vehicle must be provided with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electrical system to tow caravans or
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, the
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. Consider the weight of the
trailer fully laden, including accessories
and luggage, to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the vehicle
registration document).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 100 km/h.
You are advised to fit a suitable
stabiliser to the trailer drawbar.
In the vehicles equipped with parking
sensors, after fitting the tow hook
malfunctioning warnings may be
displayed, as some parts (tow bar, ball
tow hook) may be within the sensor
detection range. In this case the
detection range must be adjusted or
the parking assistance function must be
deactivated.
131) 132)
INSTALLING THE TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the
vehicle on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle. For the electrical connection, 7
or 13 pin 12 V DC connections are to
be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions
provided by the vehicle manufacturer
and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake (or electric winch)
should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross
section of no less than 2.5 mm
