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.WARNING
29) If, after an impact, you smell fuel
or notice leaks from the fuel
system, do not reactivate the
switch to avoid the risk of fire.
30) Before reactivating the fuel
cut-off switch, carefully check for
fuel leaks or damage to the
vehicle's electrical devices (e.g.
headlights).

WARNING
34) Once the dead lock system is
engaged it is impossible to open
the doors from inside the vehicle.
Therefore, before engaging the
system check that there is no one
left inside. If the remote control
battery is flat, the system can be
disengaged only by inserting
the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described
previously: in this case the device
remains active only for the rear
doors.
35) Before leaving the vehicle
parked with sliding doors open,
always check that the latch is
engaged.
36) Do not move the vehicle with
side doors open.37) Before setting off after parking
or before moving the vehicle in
any way, ensure that the
footboard is fully stowed away. As
the movement of the platform is
linked to that of the sliding side
door, thewarning light in the
instrument panel comes on if it is
not fully retracted in the same
way as when the rear doors are
not shut.
38) This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were
designed for optimum comfort.
Accidental knocks or a strong
gust of wind may release the
springs and close the doors
spontaneously.
39) With the doors opened to 180
degrees, no locking system is
effective. Do not use this opening
with the vehicle parked on a
gradient or when it is windy.
40) It is forbidden to drive the
vehicle with the footboard open.
41) Do not use the retracted
footboard for getting up or down
the load compartment.42) Make sure that the footboard is
suitably locked by the provided
retaining systems before, after
and during its use. An incomplete
opening or closing might cause
an improper movement of the
footboard with risks arising for the
operator and external users.
43) The footboard lightly projects
from the vehicle even if retracted;
therefore, when rear parking
sensors are provided, their
operating range is lightly reduced.
IMPORTANT
5) The footboard presence may
reduce the ramp approach angles;
it is therefore recommended, in
case of a very steep ramp, to
be very careful in order not to
damage the footboard.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM
ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the
headlights is essential for the
comfort and safety of the driver and
other road users. To ensure the
best visibility when travelling with
the headlights on, the headlight
alignment must be correct. Contact
a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT
ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition
key in the MAR-ON position and
the dipped beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it
is laden, raising the beam.
The beams must therefore be
realigned in this case.Headlight alignment
adjustment
Pressoron the control panel
fig. 124.
The instrument panel display shows
the position in relation to the
adjustment set.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment
of the light beams each time the
weight of the load transported
changes.

ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and
adjusted.ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are
aligned for operation in the country
where the vehicle was originally
purchased. When in countries
where you drive on the other side of
the road, you need to alter the
beam direction by affixing a
specially designed self-adhesive
film in order not to dazzle the
vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction. Such film is provided
by Lineaccessori Fiat and is
available at Fiat Dealerships.

HILL DESCENT
CONTROL (HDC)
SYSTEM
It is an integral part of the ESC and
is aimed at keeping the vehicle at
a constant speed during a descent,
operating autonomously on the
brakes in various ways at the same
time. In this way the vehicle stability
and completely safe driving are
guaranteed, above all in poor grip
conditions and/or steep descents.
To activate the system reach a
speed slower than 25 km/h and
press the dedicated key A fig. 126;
the LED on the button turns on
and the display gives a specific
message.After reaching the desired speed,
release the accelerator and brake
pedals completely (the LED on
the button flashes). If you want to
increase/decrease the speed, press
the accelerator/brake pedals
again.
IMPORTANT Do not use the device
with the gearbox in neutral position.
IMPORTANT It is important to
engage a gear suitable for the set
speed, to prevent the engine from
stalling.
When this function is active the
brake lights turn on automatically.
While the HDC system is operating
it is also possible to take control
of the vehicle again by pressing the
brake and accelerator pedals.
If the function is not made available
when the button is pressed, this
could be due to brake overheating.
In this case, wait a few minutes
before using the function again.
IMPORTANT The system is
available for speeds below 25
km/h.IMPORTANT Above 25 km/h the
HDC system deactivates but is still
ready to operate (the LED on the
button remains on) when the speed
is again below 25 km/h. If the
speed exceeds 50 km/h, the HDC
system deactivates completely
(the LED on the button switches off)
and the function does not operate
autonomously on the brakes
anymore. To reactivate it, press the
dedicated button again when the
speed is again below 25 km/h.
8)
WARNING
58) The ESC system can’t overrule
the natural laws of physics, and
can’t increase the grip available
according to the condition of
the road.
59) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners,
driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
