GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if
safe to do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.

Caution for installing the child
restraint on vehicle with front
passenger’s airbag
The label shown here is attached on
vehicles with front passenger’s airbag.
153)
NOTE The labels may be in different
positions depending on the vehicle
model.
Driver’s and front passenger’s
airbag system
The driver’s airbag is located under the
padded cover in the middle of the
steering wheel. The front passenger’s
airbag is contained in the instrument
panel above the glove box.
The driver’s airbag inflates at two
different rates according to the severity
of the impact (if so equipped).
The driver’s airbag and the front
passenger’s airbag are designed toinflate at the same time even if the
passenger seat is not occupied.
Driver’s knee airbag system*
The driver’s knee airbag is located
under the steering wheel. The driver’s
knee airbag is designed to deploy at the
same time as the driver’s front airbag.201AF0009484

WARNING
145)Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
bruises, light cuts, and the like.
146)IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED. A driver or front
passenger too close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel during airbag
deployment can be killed or seriously
injured. Airbags inflate very fast, and with
great force. If the driver and front
passenger are not properly seated and
restrained, the airbags may not protect you
properly, and could cause serious or fatal
injuries when they inflate.
147)Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or
sit with your lower legs too close to the
instrument panel, or lean head or chest
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.
148)Always drive with your hands on the
rim of the steering wheel so that the airbag
can inflate freely if required. Do not drive
with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.149)Place all infants and small children in
the rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system. The
rear seat is the safest for infants and
children.
150)Infants and small children should
never be unrestrained, stand up against
the instrument panel or held in your arms
or on your lap. They could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in an appropriate child
restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.
151)When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact.
Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
side airbag when a rearward facing child
restraint system is installed on the front
passenger seat. The front passenger seat
must also be positioned back as far as
possible in order to prevent the child
restraint system from coming into contact
with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate
the passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed.
152)Older children should be seated,
properly wearing the seat belt, with an
appropriate booster seat if needed.
153)Extreme Hazard! NEVER use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.154)Do not fit any accessory that makes
the indicator impossible to see, and do not
cover the indicator with a sticker. You
would not be able to verify the status of the
passenger airbag system.
155)To reduce risk of serious or fatal
injury: always turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or put the operation mode
in OFF, before operating the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Failure
to do so could adversely affect the airbag
performance; Wait at least 60 seconds to
operate the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or putting
the operation mode in OFF. The SRS
airbag system is designed to retain enough
voltage to deploy the airbag; Always
remove the key from the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch after operating that
switch. Failure to do so could lead to
improper position of the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch; Do not turn OFF
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch except when a child restraint
system is fitted to the front passenger seat;
If the OFF indicator does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ONOFF
switch is turned OFF, do not fit a child
restraint system to the front passenger
seat. We recommend you to have the
system inspected by a Fiat Dealership; if
the OFF indicator remains on when the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is
turned ON, do not allow anyone to sit on
the front passenger seat. We recommend
you to have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership.

SAFETY

STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the "heart" of the vehicle:
seeing how you can exploit all of its
potential to the full.
We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome
companion, with our comfort and our
wallets in mind.ECONOMICAL DRIVING........133

AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
SPORT MODE 5A/T
(where provided)
During running-in period or immediately
after reconnection of the battery cable,
there may be a case where gear shifts
are not made smoothly. This does not
indicate a faulty transmission. Gear
shifts will become smooth after the
transmission has been shifted several
times by the electronic control system.
Selector lever operation
The transmission has 5 forward gears
and 1 reverse gear.
The individual gears are selected
automatically, depending on the speed
of the vehicle and the position of the
accelerator pedal.
The selector lever (A) has 2 gates; the
main gate (B) and the manual gate (C).
While depressing
the brake pedal,
move the selector
lever through the
gate.
Move the selector
lever through the
gate.
92)
To avoid erroneous operation, move the
selector lever firmly into each position
and briefly hold it there. Always check
the position shown by the selector lever
position display after moving the
selector lever.
If the brake pedal is not depressed and
held, the shift-lock device activates to
prevent the selector lever from being
moved from the “P” (PARK) position.
When the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” (PARK)
position
When the selector lever cannot be
shifted from the “P” (PARK) position to
another position while the brake pedal
is pressed and held down with the
ignition switch at the “ON” position or
the operation mode in ON, the battery
may be flat or the shift-lock mechanism
may be malfunctioning. Immediately
have your vehicle checked by a Fiat
Dealership.
If you need to move the vehicle, shift
the selector lever as follows.

ENGINE COOLANT
To check the coolant level
A transparent coolant reserve tank (A) is
located in the engine compartment. The
coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the “L” (LOW) and “F” (FULL)
marks when measured while the engine
is cold.
To add coolant
The cooling system is a closed system
and normally the loss of coolant should
be very slight. A noticeable drop in the
coolant level could indicate leakage. If
this occurs, we recommend you to
have the system checked as soon as
possible. If the level should drop below
the “L” (LOW) level on the reserve tank,
open the lid and add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely
empty, remove the radiator cap (B) andadd coolant until the level reaches the
filler neck.316)
Anti-freeze
The engine coolant contains an
ethylene glycol anti-corrosion agent.
Some parts of the engine are cast
aluminium alloy, and periodic changing
of the engine coolant is necessary to
prevent corrosion of these parts.
Use the recommended coolant by Fiat
or equivalent*. *: similar high quality
ethylene glycol based non-silicate,
non-amine, nonnitrate and nonborate
coolant with long life hybrid organic
acid technology Fiat genuine coolant
has excellent protection against
corrosion and rust formation of all
metals including aluminium and can
avoid blockages in the radiator, heater,
cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this
anti-corrosion agent, the coolant must
not be replaced with plain water even in
summer. The required concentration of
anti-freeze differs depending on the
expected ambient temperature.

During cold weather
If the temperatures in your area drop below freezing, there is the danger that the coolant in the engine or radiator could freeze
and cause severe damage to the engine and/or radiator. Add a sufficient amount of antifreeze to the coolant to prevent it from
freezing.
The concentration should be checked before the start of cold weather and anti-freeze added to the system if necessary.
WARNING
316)Do not open the radiator cap (B) while
the engine is hot. The coolant system is
under pressure and any hot coolant
escaping could cause severe burns.
IMPORTANT
148)Do not use alcohol or methanol
anti-freeze or any engine coolants mixed
with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The
use of an improper anti-freeze can cause
corrosion of the aluminium components.149)For effective anti-corrosion and
anti-freeze performance, keep the
anti-freeze concentration within the range
of 30 to 60 %. Concentrations exceeding
60 % will result in a reduction of both the
anti-freeze and cooling performance thus
adversely affecting the engine.
150)Do not top up with water only. Water
by itself reduces the rust-protective and
anti-freeze qualities of the coolant and has
a lower boiling point. It can also cause
damage to the cooling system if it should
freeze. Do not use tapwater, as it can
cause corrosion and rust formation.151)PARAFLU UP anti-freeze is used in
the engine cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type as that contained in the cooling
system for any top-ups. PARAFLU UP
cannot be mixed with any other type of
fluid. If this happens, do not start the
engine under any circumstances and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
