KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberDRIVING ADVISOR
The two warning lights on indicate that the system
has started recognising the operating conditions.
When the system recognises the operating
conditions, it becomes active, i.e. it can assist the
driver with visual and acoustic warnings. Therefore,
the warning lights switch off.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions are no
longer present, the system is engaged but inactive,
and therefore the two warning lights on the panel
switch on.
When the system is active, if the vehicle gets close
to one of the side limit lines or one of the two
demarcation lines of the lane, the driver is warned
with an acoustic signal along with the direction
warning light (right or left) on the panel lighting up.
The system failure is indicated by the two direction
warning lights
and
lighting up on the panel,
along with an acoustic signal and a dedicated
message.

SBR SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The vehicle is fitted with a Seat Belt
Reminder system (SBR), consisting of
a buzzer and a flashing warning light
on the instrument panel which
warns the driver that the seat belt
must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the
next engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver's seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON
position;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then
release one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
With digital display, the SBR system
can only be reactivated at a Fiat
Dealership.
With multifunction display, the SBR
system can also be reactivated through
the set-up menu.
PRETENSIONERSTo increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a head-on crash or side
impact, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way, they ensure
that the belts fit tightly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins.
The retractor locks to indicate that the
pretensioner has intervened; the seat
belt cannot be drawn back up even
when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication. Any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must
absolutely be replaced.
