WARNING
6) All adjustments must be made
with the vehicle stationary.
7) After releasing the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat
is locked on the guides by trying
to move it back and forth. If it
is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose
control of the vehicle.
8) For maximum safety, keep the
back of your seat upright, lean
back into it and make sure the
seat belt fits closely across your
chest and pelvis.
9) Before putting on the front seat
belts, make sure that the
armrests are in vertical position
(see "Seat belts" paragraph).
10) Before unfastening the belts and
getting out of the vehicle, ensure
that the outer armrest (door side)
is fully raised.
11) All adjustments must be made
with the vehicle stationary. In
particular, while turning the seat,
take care that it does not interfere
with the handbrake lever.12) Ensure the seat is locked in the
driving position before starting up
the vehicle.
13) Do not place heavy loads on the
flap with the vehicle in motion
because they could be thrown
against the vehicle occupants in
the event of sudden braking or
impacts, causing severe injury.
14) Do not travel with passengers
seated in the 3rd row with the
2nd row bench folded over. Do not
place objects of any type on the
backrest of the 2nd row bench
folded over: in the event of impact
or sharp braking they could be
thrown against the occupants of
the vehicle casing serious injury.
For more information, see the
contents of the adhesive plate
located under the bench.
15) When refitting the bench, ensure
that it is correctly locked to the
floor guides.

ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
18)
With the device activated, for
reasons of comfort, limiting
emissions and safety, the engine
does not stop in certain conditions,
including:
❒engine still cold;
❒particularly cold external
temperatures, if the corresponding
indication is provided;❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration in
progress (diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);
❒automatic climate control, if a
suitable thermal comfort level has not
yet been reached or MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system;
❒if the Hill Descent Control system is
active.
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting
harmful emissions and safety
purposes, the power unit

any action by the driver if certain
conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
MODEMODE

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

❒vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine
can be automatically restarted only
by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
NoteIf the engine stops and this is
not desired, due for example to the
clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is active, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by placing the gear lever in
neutral.
NoteIf the clutch is not pressed, when
approx. three minutes have elapsed
since the engine was stopped, the
engine can only be restarted using the
key.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions
through the Start&Stop system, if
the driver unfastens his/her seat
belt and opens the driver's door or
the passenger door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the
key. The driver is notified of this
condition by a buzzer, through the
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where
provided, by a message in the
display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver
does not take any action for a
period of about 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system will
definitively stop the engine to avoid
fuel consumption. The engine
can only be started using the key in
such cases.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR

special attention must be paid to
the disconnection of the battery
power supply. Proceed as follows:
detach connector A fig. 134 (by
pressing button B) from sensor C
for monitoring the status of the
battery installed on the negative
battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the
pole except if the battery is
replaced.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT
BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping
the torso straight and rested
against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 152 and insert it into
the buckle B, until it clicks into
place.
On removal, if the seat belt jams, let
it rewind for a short stretch, then
pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press
button C. Guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding,
to prevent it from twisting.Through the retractor, the belt
automatically adapts to the body of
the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope:
this is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the retractor
mechanism locks the belt if it is
pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
99)
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust, use button A fig. 153 and
raise or lower handle B.
100) 101)
Always adjust the seat belt height
to the passenger's body. This
precaution may considerably
reduce the risk of injury in the event
of a collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained
when the belt passes approximately
half way between the shoulder
and the neck.Seat belt with

The two-seater front bench is
equipped with an on-board seat
belt (retractor on seat) with three
anchorage points for the central

SAFETY

WARNING
99) Never press button C fig. 152
when travelling.
100) The height of the seat belts
must be adjusted with the vehicle
stationary.
101) After the adjustment, always
check that the cursor to which
the ring is fastened is locked
in one of the preset positions.
Release the grip and push
downwards to enable the locking
device to click if the grip has
not been released in one of the
possible positions.
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.
PRETENSIONERS
To 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.
