IMPORTANT
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the
steering.
2)Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not
running, doing so will cause the battery to
be discharged.
3)Do not turn the key to the “START”
position while the engine is running. Doing
so could damage the starter motor.
4)The indicator lamp (A) will flash orange
when there is a problem or malfunction in
the keyless operation system. Never drive if
the indicator lamp on the engine switch is
flashing orange. Immediately contact your
Fiat Dealership.
5)If the engine switch operation is not
smooth and feels like it is sticking, do not
operate the switch. Immediately contact
your Fiat Dealership.

operation mode in ON or ACC for a long
time when the engine is not running may
cause the battery to be discharged, making
it impossible to start the engine, lock and
unlock the steering wheel.7)When the battery is disconnected, the
current operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before
disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the
operation mode in OFF. Be careful if you
are not sure which operation mode the
vehicle is in when the battery is run down.
8)The operation mode cannot be changed
from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless
operation key is not detected to be in the
vehicle. Refer to “Keyless operation system:

ignition switch to the “ON” or “ACC”
position. [Vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system] Put the
operation mode in ON or ACC.
NOTE Automatically retract when the
ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK”
position or the operation mode is put in
OFF, and the driver’s door is then
opened.
NOTE Automatically extend when the
vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h.
(vehicles equipped with the keyless
entry key or the keyless operation key)
NOTE Deactivate the automatic
extension function.
WARNING
51)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further, the
reflective surface of the lower part of the
exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase the
field of view. The reflected image size is
thus reduced and gives the impression that
the reflected item is further away than it
actually is.
52)Do not attempt to adjust the rear-view
mirror while driving. This can be
dangerous. Always adjust the mirror before
driving.53)Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors. Remind that objects that you
see in the mirror will look smaller and
farther away compared to a normal flat
mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate
distance of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
54)Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided by the mirror could lead
to an accident.
IMPORTANT
16)It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror
using the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using the
switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move because
of the wind or vibration while you are
driving, taking away your rearward visibility.
