FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety switch
that, in the event of a crash, comes
into operation by cutting off the fuel
supply and turning off the engine as a
consequence.
When the inertia switch cuts in, it cuts
off the fuel supply and also activates
the hazard warning lights, side lights
and courtesy lights while releasing
all the doors and displaying the relevant
message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. On some versions,
there is also a safety relay that activates
in the event of impact to cut off the
electrical supply. In this way, fuel is
prevented from escaping if the pipes
are broken and the formation of sparks
or electrical discharges following
damage to the vehicle electrical
components is avoided.
29) 30)
IMPORTANT After an accident,
remember to remove the key from the
ignition device to prevent the battery
from running down. If no fuel leaks
or damage to vehicle's electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) are detected
after the impact and the vehicle is
able to set off again, reactivate the
automatic fuel cut-off switch.
Restoring the fuel cut-
off switch
Press button A fig. 81 to reactivate the
fuel cut off switch.

72) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm
tyres, do not reduce pressure
even if it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the
check when tyres are cold.
73) The TPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the car, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
74) The system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them.
75) An insufficient tyre inflation
increases fuel consumption,
reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity of driving
safely.
76) Always refit the valve stem cap
after inspecting or adjusting tyre
pressure. This prevents dampness
or dirt from entering the valve
stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being
damaged.77) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go)
provided with the car (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original
kit may adversely affect its
operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one
are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensor operation
checked by a qualified repair
centre.DRIVING ADVISOR
(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
82) 79) 80)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system
that notifies the driver if he/she crosses
the lane because he/she has been
distracted.
A video sensor, fitted on the windscreen
near the interior rear view mirror,
detects the lane demarcation lines and
the position of the car in relation to
them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving
Advisor, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership should the windscreen
need to be replaced. If the repair is
carried out at a specialist window
replacement centre, it is still necessary
to go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
camera calibrated.

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
IN BRIEF
Refuel the vehicle exclusively with
dieselfor motor vehicles in
compliance with European
specification EN590.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
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. 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 case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
19)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top-ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK CAP
When refuelling, open Door A fig. 141
located on the left side of the vehicle
therefore unscrew the plug B fig. 141
turning it counter-clockwise.
For versions / markets where provided,
insert the ignition key in the lock of
the cap. Turn the key counter-clockwise
and remove the cap by gripping the
key. Do not remove the key from the
cap during refuelling. During the
operation of refuelling, the cap can be
hung to its appropriate place located on
the door A (fig. 141).
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.In case of loss or damage to the fuel
tank cap, make sure that the
replacement cap is for the appropriate
vehicle.
Tighten the cap of the fuel tank filler
until you hear a "click". This sound
shows that the cap of the fuel tank filler
is properly tightened.
For versions / markets where provided,
turn the key clockwise until it stops. It
is not necessary to apply an additional
load on the key to complete the
tightening of the cap. Only in the case
where the cap has been tightened
properly, it will be possible to remove
the ignition key from the cap.
After each refuelling, make sure the fuel
filler cap is securely tightened.141F1A5004

IMPORTANT
❒When the gun distributor fuel "snaps"
or interrupts the supply, the tank is
nearly full and you can run two
additional top-ups after shooting
automatic.

Topping for additive Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA)
96)
When refuelling the additive for Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA) with
dispensing gun:
❒park the vehicle on ground level;
❒turn off the engine by turning the key
in the OFF position;
❒open the door to fuel A fig. 141 and
then unscrew and remove the cap C
fig. 141 from the filler neck of UREA;
❒insert the dispensing gun for topping
up UREA in the filler neck;
❒immediately stop filling the tank
UREA if it shows one of the cases
listed below:
- If AdBlue is spilled out of the filler
neck, clean up well the area and
proceed to filling up again;- If during filling the dispensing gun
clicks, it indicates that the UREA tank is
full. Do not proceed with the
replacement, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue (UREA).
❒When you finished topping, remount
cap C fig. 141 on the filler neck
UREA, turning it clockwise until it
stops;
❒turn the key in the pawl starter in the
ON position (no need to start the
engine);
❒wait for the signal on the instrument
panel to power off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay
on for a few seconds to half a
minute. In case of motor start-up and
movement of the vehicle, the
warning sign will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are
no problems on the engine
functionality. If topping up is done
with the UREA tank empty, you have
to wait two minutes before starting
the vehicle.
When refuelling the additive for Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA) with bottle:
❒park the vehicle on ground level;
❒turn off the engine by turning the key
in the OFF position;❒open the door to fuel A fig. 141 and
then unscrew and remove the cap C

❒if during the topping up, the level of
AdBlue in the bottle does not drop,
it means that you have reached
the full tank, therefore proceed pulling
the bottle towards you in order to
re-lock the safety valve of the bottle
and unscrew the bottle from the
filler (fig. 142, ref. 3);
❒after removing the bottle remount
cap C fig. 141 on the filler neck
UREA, turning it clockwise until it
stops;
❒turn the key in the pawl starter in the
ON position (no need to start the
engine);
❒wait for the signal on the instrument
panel to power off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay
on for a few seconds to half a
minute. In case of motor start-up and
movement of the vehicle, the
warning sign will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are
no problems on the engine
functionality;
❒If topping up is done with the UREA
tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle;NoteThe driving conditions (altitude,
vehicle speed, load, etc.) determine the
quantity of UREA used by the vehicle.
In order to use the additive for Diesel
Emissions (UREA) correctly, see "Fluids
and lubricants" in the "Technical data".
IMPORTANT
❒Exceeding the maximum filling
level of the tank UREA, it can
cause damage to the tank and
spilling UREA. Please avoid
topping up after filling the tank.
❒DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL. The UREA freezes at
under -11 ° C. Although the
system is designed to operate
below the freezing point of the
UREA, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level
because if the UREA freezes
the system can be damaged.
❒If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium,
immediately clean the area with
water and use absorbent material
to collect the fluid that has been
spilled on the ground.
❒Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added
to the diesel fuel tank, this can
result in serious engine damage,
contact Dealership.❒Use AdBlue only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other
fluids may cause damage to the
system: also exhaust emissions
would no longer comply with
the law. The distribution
companies are responsible for
the compliance of their product.
Observe the precautions of
storage and maintenance, in
order to preserve the initial
qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognize any
guarantee in case of
malfunctions and damage caused
to the vehicle due to the use of
urea (AdBlue) not in accordance
with regulations.
❒Any introduction of diesel fuel
inside the tank AdBlue, causes
irreversible damage to the
pumping unit circuit AdBlue.
❒Do not add additives to AdBlue.
Do not dilute AdBlue with tap
water as this may damage the
system of purification of exhaust
gases.
111

WARNING
92) 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 prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
93) To avoid fuel spillage and the
exceeding of the maximum level,
avoid topping up after filling the
tank.
94) Any fuel pumping in portable
containers located on a floor
can cause a fire. Danger of burns.
Always put the fuel container on
the ground during filling. Avoid
using contaminated fuel: a fuel
contaminated with water or earth
can cause serious damage to
the motor supply. Proper
maintenance of the fuel filter, of
the engine and the fuel tank is
essential.
95) Do not open the fuel system at
high pressure with the engine
running. The operation of the
engine creates a high fuel
pressure. A jet of high-pressure
fuel can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING
96) If AdBlue overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank
to over 50 ° C (for example due
to direct solar irradiation), AdBlue
can decompose ammonia
vapours. Ammonia vapours have a
pungent odour when the cap of
the AdBlue tank is unscrewed,
therefore be careful not to inhale
any ammonia vapours in the tank
outlet. In this concentration,
however, the ammonia vapors are
not harmful or dangerous to
health.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
97)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles 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
Powertrain Control Module records
a set of data (travel time, type of route,
temperatures reached etc.) and
calculates how much particulate has
been trapped by the filter.
113

SPEEDOMETER (speed
indicator)
Indicator A shows the speed of the car.
REV COUNTER
Indicator C shows the engine revs.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is over-revving, resulting in a gradual
loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden increase of the speed.
This is normal and does not indicate a
fault. It may be caused, for example, by
the activation of the climate control
system or fan. In these cases, a slow
change in revs is used to protect the
battery charge.FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Needle E shows the amount of fuel left
in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in
paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this
chapter).
The warning light on the indicator
switches on when there are about
10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with
tank capacity 90-120 l) or 10 l (for
versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty
to prevent damaging the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and the warning light will flash to
indicate a fault in the system. If this is
the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to
activate the additional Webasto heater
in reserve conditions.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle D shows the temperature of
the engine coolant and starts
supplying indications when the fluid
temperature exceeds approx. 50°C. In
normal use, the needle could assume
different positions within the scale,
depending on the usage conditions.
C - Low engine coolant temperature.
H - High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light on the indicator
may light up (and a message on the
display may appear on certain versions)
to indicate that the coolant fluid
temperature is too high; in this case,
stop the engine and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

STARTING THE
ENGINE
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light
stays on constantly on
the instrument panel.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery
with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
It is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership to check/replace the battery.
145)
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle:
❒raise the flap A fig. 179 to gain
access to the positive battery
terminal.
❒connect the positive terminals (sign +
near the terminal) of the two batteries
with a jump lead;
❒use a second cable to connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to the earth point as shown in
fig. 180;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the
order above.If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another
vehicle, avoid any metal parts on the
latter and the vehicle with the flat
battery from accidentally coming into
contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
