steering wheel FIAT FIORINO 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering cars with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on cars with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your
vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,
which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle integrity;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it

IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 5:
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. car radio,
central door locking system, alarm,
etc.) can work.
MAR: driving position. All electric
devices can operate.
AVV: engine starting. The ignition
device is fitted with a safety system that
requires the ignition key to be turned
back to STOP if the engine does not
start, before the starting operation can
be repeated.STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the device is at STOP, remove
the key and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Turning off
Move the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON
4)
WARNING
4)Never extract the key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This also applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed. It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out any after-market operation
involving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device) that could adversely
affect performance, invalidate the warranty,
cause serious safety problems and also
result in the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle. It
is automatically activated when the
key is removed from the ignition device.
Each time the vehicle is started turning
the ignition key toMAR-ON, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
If, during ignition, the code is not
correctly recognised, the warning light
lights up on the instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key toSTOP
and then back toMAR;ifthe
lock continues, try with the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start
the engine.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the
system's control unit. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have new keys (up to 8)
stored with a code.

What it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning
light turns on but it should go off after a few seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the
engine oil level falls below the minimum recommended
value.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.Restore the correct engine oil level (see “Checking fluid
levels” in the "Servicing and care" section).
redDOOR OPEN
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when
one or more doors or the boot are not properly closed.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Check that all doors or the boot (for versions/markets,
where provided) are perfectly closed.
redPOWER STEERING FAILURE
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the
warning light on the dial turns on, but it should turn off
after a few seconds.

when the space-saver wheel is
fitted. Before carrying out the “Reset”
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the “Reset” procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the “Reset” procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Reset";
press thebutton or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Confirm";
pressbutton orto select

video page);
press thebutton again to return
to the standard screen or to the main
menu according to where you are in the
menu.
After the “Reset” the display will show
the "Reset saved" message, indicating
that the "self-learning" has been
started.Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h. In a few situations such as
sporty driving, particular conditions of
the road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,
unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may
be delayed or partial in detecting the
contemporary deflation of more than
one tyre. Under special conditions (e.g.
vehicle loaded asymmetrically on one
side, towing a trailer, damaged or worn
tyre, fitting the space-saver wheel,
use of the "Fix&Go Automatic"
kit, fitting snow chains, fitting different
tyres on the axles) the system may give
false indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light
flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message. This warning is
displayed also after the engine has
been switched off and then on again if
the correct operating conditions are not
restored.

WARNING
55)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver, who must take into account
the traffic conditions in order to drive
in complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle
in front.
56)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
57)The laser beam is not visible at the
naked eye. Do not look directly, or with
optical instruments (e.g. lenses), at the
laser beam from a distance lower than 10
cm: this may cause damage to the sight.
The laser beam is also present when
the key is at MAR but its operation is off,
not available or manually deactivated
with the display Setup Menu.
58)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. Small sized
vehicles (e.g. bicycles or motorbikes)
or people, animals and things (e.g.
pushchairs) and more in general all those
obstacles with a low reflection of the light
emitted by the laser (e.g. vehicles soiled
with mud) are not taken into consideration.
