(where provided)
The cigarette lighter can be used while
the ignition switch or the operation
mode is in ON or ACC.A — Push all the way in.
The cigarette lighter will automatically
return to its original position with a
“click” when ready. Pull it out for use.
After use, insert the cigarette lighter to
its original position in the socket.
NOTE Do not leave the cigarette lighter
removed from its socket, because the
socket might become clogged by
foreign material and be short-circuited.
80)
Do not allow children to operate or play
with the cigarette lighter as burns may
occur.
Do not use any electric appliance that is
not approved by FCA. Doing so could
damage the socket. If you used the
cigarette lighter after damaging the
socket, the cigarette lighter might pop
out or fail to come out after being
pushed in.Something is wrong with the cigarette
lighter if it does not pop back out within
approximately 30 seconds of being
pushed in. Pull it out and have the
problem corrected at Fiat Dealership.
When the cigarette lighter socket is
used as a power source for an electric
appliance, be sure that the electric
appliance operates at 12 V and has an
electric capacity of 120 W or less. In
addition, long use of the electric
appliance without running the engine
may run down the battery.
ACCESSORY SOCKET
(where provided)
The accessory socket can be used
while the ignition switch or the
operation mode is in ON or ACC. To
use a plug-in type accessory, open the

engine warning lamp flashes, have the
system checked as soon as possible at
an authorised Fiat Dealership.
In diesel-powered vehicles, in case
cetane number (EN590) 51 or higher is
not available, use cetane number 45 or
higher.
In diesel-powered vehicles, poor-quality
diesel fuel can cause deposits form in
the injector, resulting in black smoke
and rough idling. If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a
cleaning additive to the diesel fuel when
you refuel the vehicle. The additive will
break up and remove the deposits,
thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a FCA
GENUINE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For
detailed, please contact the nearest
authorised Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
33)For unleaded petrol-powered vehicles,
the use of leaded fuel can result in serious
damage to the engine and catalytic
converter. Do not use the leaded fuel.
34)Do not use more than 10 %
concentration of ethanol (grain alcohol) by
volume. Use of more than 10 %
concentration may lead to damage to your
vehicle fuel system, engine, engine sensors
and exhaust system.35)Do not operate your vehicle on petrol
containing methanol. Using this type of
alcohol could adversely affect the vehicle’s
performance and damage critical parts of
the vehicle’s fuel system.
36)Diesel-powered vehicles to comply with
the Euro 4 and Euro 5 regulation are
designed to use only diesel fuel that meets
the EN 590 standard. Use of any other type
of diesel fuel would adversely affect the
engine’s performance and durability.
37)Your vehicle is designed to use only
diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard.
Use of any other type of diesel fuel (bio
diesel, methylester, etc.) would adversely
affect the engine’s performance and
durability.
38)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with EN
590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Active Traction Control function
On slippery surfaces, the active traction
control function prevents the drive
wheels from spinning excessive, thus
helping the vehicle to start moving from
a stopped condition. It also provides
sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while
pressing the acceleration pedal.
196)
WARNING
180)The brake assist system is not a
device designed to exercise braking force
greater than its capacity. Make sure to
always keep a sufficient distance between
vehicles in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
181)The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It
is your responsibility to take safety
precautions and to drive carefully.
182)To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure
all 4 wheels and tyres are the same size
and the same type.
183)Do not install any aftermarket limited
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
ABS may stop functioning properly.
184)The ABS exploits the grip available to
the full, but it cannot improve it. Therefore,
you should take great care when driving on
slippery surfaces, without taking
unnecessary risks.185)When the ABS intervenes and you
notice the brake pedal pulsating, keep the
pedal pushed down and don’t be alarmed.
This will help you to stop in the shortest
distance possible, depending on the road
conditions.
186)If the ABS intervenes, it means you
have almost reached the grip limit between
the tyres and the road surface: slow down
to make sure that you drive in accordance
with the available grip.
187)The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and can’t increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
188)The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
189)The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
190)Do not over-rely on the ASTC. Even
the ASTC cannot prevent the natural laws
of physics from acting on the vehicle. This
system, like any other system, has limits
and cannot help you to maintain traction
and control of the vehicle in all
circumstances. Reckless driving can lead
to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility
to drive carefully. This means into account
the traffic, road and environmental
conditions.
191)The ASTC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.192)Be sure to use the same specified
type and size of tyre on all 4 wheels.
Otherwise, the ASTC may not work
correctly.
193)Do not install any aftermarket limited
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
active stability control function may stop
functioning properly.
194)For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF”
switch should only be operated when the
vehicle is stopped.
195)Be sure to keep the active stability
control function on while driving in normal
circumstances.
196)When driving a vehicle on a snowy or
icy road, be sure to install snow tyres and
drive the vehicle at moderate speeds.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn
off the electrical circuit concerned and
place the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the
inside of the fuse block in the engine
compartment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity
table, check the fuse pertaining to the
problem.B. Fuse is OK
C. Blown fuse
NOTE If any system does not function
but the fuse corresponding to that
system is normal, there may be a fault
in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle
checked.
4. Insert a new fuse of the same
capacity by using the fuse puller into
the same place at the fuse block.
WARNING
294)If the newly inserted fuse blows again
after a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
295)Never use a fuse with a larger
capacity than specified or a substitute
(such as a cable or foil). Doing so could
cause the circuit wires to overheat and
create a fire.
296)Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other material.
297)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition key has been removed and
that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.

REPLACEMENT OF
LAMP BULBS
299) 300) 301) 302) 303) 304)
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the
lamp is off. Do not touch the glass part
of the new bulb with your bare fingers;
the skin oil left on the glass will
evaporate when the bulb gets hot and
the vapor will condense on the reflector
and dim the surface.
NOTE If you are unsure of how to carry
out the work as required, we
recommend you to consult a specialist.
Be careful not to scratch the vehicle
body when removing a lamp and lens.
When it rains, or when the vehicle has
been washed, the inside of the lens
sometimes becomes foggy. This is the
same phenomenon as when window
glass mists up on a humid day, and
does not indicate a functional problem.When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water
gathers inside the lamp, we
recommend you to have the lamp
checked.
Bulb location and capacity
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb
with the same wattage and colour.

BATTERY
155) 156)
4)
The condition of the battery is very
important for quick starting of the
engine and proper functioning of the
vehicle’s electrical system. Regular
inspection and care are especially
important in cold weather.
Battery precautions
325) 326) 327) 328) 329) 330) 331) 332) 333) 334) 335)
Checking battery electrolyte level
The electrolyte level must be between
the specified limit on the outside of the
battery. Replenish with distilled water as
necessary. The inside of the battery is
divided into several compartments;
remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark.
Do not top up beyond the upper markbecause spillage during driving could
cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once
every four weeks, depending on the
operating conditions. If the battery is
not used, it will discharge by itself with
time.
Check it once every four weeks and
charge with low current as necessary.
During cold weather
The capacity of the battery is reduced
at low temperatures. This is an
inevitable result of its chemical and
physical properties. This is why a very
cold battery, particularly one that is not
fully charged will only deliver a fraction
of the starter current which is normally
available.
We recommend you to have the battery
checked before the start of cold
weather and, if necessary, have it
charged or replaced. This does not only
ensure reliable starting, but a battery
which is kept fully charged also has a
longer life.
Disconnection and connection
157) 158) 159) 160)
To disconnect the battery cable, stop
the engine, first disconnect the negative
(-) terminal and then the positive (+)
terminal. When connecting the battery,
first connect the positive (+) terminal
and then the negative (-) terminal.NOTE Open the terminal cover (A)
before disconnecting or connecting the
positive (+) terminal of the battery.
NOTE Loosen the nut (B), and then
disconnect the battery cable from the
positive (+) terminal.
NOTE Keep the terminals clean. After
the battery is connected, apply terminal
protection grease. To clean the
terminals, use lukewarm water.
NOTE Check to see if the battery is
securely installed and cannot be moved
during travel. Also check each terminal
for tightness.
NOTE When the vehicle is to be left
unused for a long period of time,
remove the battery and store it in a
place where the battery fluid will not
freeze. The battery should be stored
only in a fully charged condition.
