WARNING
79)Don’t put papers and other things that
burn into your ashtrays. If you do,
cigarettes or other smoking materials could
set them on fire, causing damage.
80)Do not touch the heating element or
the cigarette lighter housing, hold the knob
only to prevent burns.
81)Keep the lids of storage spaces closed
while driving the vehicle. A lid or the
contents of a storage space could
otherwise cause injuries.
82)The holder should not be used to store
anything heavier than sunglasses. These
objects could drop out.
83)Do not drink beverages while driving.
This is distracting and could cause an
accident.
84)Drinks could be spilled by the vibration
and jolts while driving. If the spilt drink is
very hot, you could be burnt.
85)Do not put a hanger or any heavy or
pointed object on the coat hook. If the
curtain airbag was activated, any such item
could be propelled away with great force
and could prevent the curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on
the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp
objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
IMPORTANT
27)When the accessory socket is not in
use, be sure to close the lid, because the
socket might become clogged by foreign
material and be short-circuited.
28)Never leave lighters, canned
carbonated beverage, and spectacles in
the cabin when parking the vehicle in hot
sunshine. The cabin will become extremely
hot, so lighters and other flammable items
may catch fire and unopened drink cans
may rupture. Also, spectacles with plastic
lenses or materials could deform or crack.
29)Put out matches and cigarettes before
they are placed in the ashtray.
30)Always close the ashtray. If left open,
other cigarette butts in the ashtray may be
rekindled.
31)Be sure to use a “plug-in” type
accessory operating at 12 V and at 120 W
or less. When using more than one socket
at the same time, make sure that the
electrical accessories are 12 V accessories
and that the total power consumption does
not exceed 120 W.
32)Long use of the electric appliance
without running the engine may run down
the battery.
FUEL SELECTION
RecommendedPetrol-powered vehicles:
Unleaded petrol octane number
90 RON or higher
Diesel-powered vehicles: Cetane
number (EN590) 51 or higher
Ethanol/Gasohol (Petrol-powered
vehicles only)
A mixture of up to 10 % ethanol (grain
alcohol) and 90 % unleaded petrol may
be used in your vehicle, provided the
octane number is at least as high as
that recommended for Fuel selection
unleaded petrol.
33) 34) 35) 36) 37) 38)
In petrol-powered vehicles, repeatedly
driving short distance at low speeds
can cause deposits to form in the fuel
system and engine, resulting in poor
starting and poor acceleration. If these
problems occur, you are advised to add
a detergent additive to the petrol when
you refuel the vehicle. The additive will
remove the deposits, thereby returning
the engine to a normal condition. Be
sure to use a FCA GENUINE FUEL
SYSTEM CLEANER. Using an
unsuitable additive could make the
engine malfunction. For details, please
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
Poor quality petrol can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, engine
noise and hesitation. If your experience
these problems, try another brand
and/or grade of petrol. If the check

running, there is a problem in the charging
system. Immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and we recommend you to have
it checked.
52)If this lamp illuminates when the engine
oil level is not low, have it inspected.
53)This warning lamp does not indicate
the amount of oil in the crankcase. This
must be determined by checking the oil
level on the dipstick, while the engine is
switched off.54)If you continue driving with low engine
oil level or with this warning lamp
illuminated, engine seizure may occur.
55)Before moving your vehicle, check that
the warning lamp is OFF.
56)If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS
airbags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners,
and they may not function properly in a
collision or may suddenly activate without a
collision: 1 – Even when the ignition switch
or the operation mode is in ON, the SRS
warning lamp does not come on or it
remains on. 2 – The SRS warning lamp
comes on while driving.
57)The SRS airbags and seat belt
pre-tensioners are designed to help reduce
the risk of serious injury or death in certain
collisions. If either of the above conditions
occurs, immediately have your vehicle
checked by a Fiat Dealership.

SEAT BELTS
To protect you and your passengers in
the event of an accident, it is the most
important that the seat belts be worn
correctly while driving.
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat
belt equipped with an airbag each have
a pre-tensioner system and the rear
seat belts equipped with a dual stage
airbag system each have a
pre-tensioner system. These belts are
used the same way as a conventional
seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system”.

3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
This type of belt requires no length
adjustment. Once worn, the belt
adjusts itself to the movement of
wearer, but in the event of a sudden or
strong shock, the belt automatically
locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTE You can check if the belt locks
by pulling it forward quickly.To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while
holding the latch plate.
NOTE When the seat belts cannot be
pulled out in a locked condition, pull the
belts once forcefully and then return
them. After that, pull the belts out
slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle
until a “click” is heard.
114)
59) 60)
To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the
button on the buckle.NOTE As the belt retracts
automatically, keep the latch plate held
while retracting so that the belt stows
slowly. Failure to do this could damage
the vehicle.
113)
SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed
metallic parts. Replace the belt
assembly if defective.
A dirty belt should be cleaned with
neutral detergent in warm water. After
rinsing in water, let it dry in the shade.
Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the
belts because this affects their
characteristics.

118)When adjusting the seat belt anchor,
set it at a position that is sufficiently high so
that the belt will make full contact with your
shoulder but will not touch your neck.
PRETENSIONERS
AND FORCE LIMITER
SYSTEM
(where provided)
119) 120) 121) 122)
64) 65) 66) 67)
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat
equipped with airbags each have a
pretensioner seat belt and force limiter
system.
Pretensioner system
When the ignition switch or the
operation mode is under the following
conditions, if there is a frontal impact or
a side impact (vehicles equipped with
SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
airbags) severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger, the
pretensioner system will retract their
respective seat belts instantaneously,
thus maximizing the seat belt’s
effectiveness.
Except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system: the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
Vehicles equipped with the keyless
operation system: the operation mode
is in ON.
NOTE The pretensioner seat belts will
be activated if the vehicle suffers a
severe impact, even if the seat belts are
not worn.NOTE The pretensioner seat belts are
designed to work only once. After the
pretensioner seat belts have been
activated, we recommend you to have
them replaced by a Fiat Dealership.
SRS warning lamp (where provided)
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS
airbags and the pre-tensioner seat
belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp”.
Force limiter system
In the event of a collision, each force
limiter system will effectively absorb the
load applied to the seat belt so as to
minimize the impact to the passenger.
WARNING
119)The pretensioner may be used only
once. After it is triggered, have it replaced
at a Fiat Dealership.
120)Removing or otherwise tampering
with pretensioner and seat belt
components is strictly prohibited. Any
intervention on these components must be
performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.
121)For maximum safety, keep the
backrest upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts for both the front and rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
106
SAFETY
Page 109 of 312
122)If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible defects, it
may have lost its resilience.
IMPORTANT
64)To obtain the best results from your
pretensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly.
65)Installation of audio equipment or
repairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be
performed in line with FCA Italy S.p.A.
guidelines. It is important to do so because
the work could affect the pretensioner
systems.
66)If you need to scrap the vehicle, please
consult a Fiat Dealership. It is important to
do so because unexpected activation of
the pretensioner seat belts could cause
injuries.
67)Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of six hours) in the area
around the pretensioners may damage or
accidentally deploy them. Contact a Fiat
Dealership should intervention be
necessary on these components.
CHILD RESTRAINT
When transporting children in your
vehicle, some type of child restraint
system should always be used
according to the size of the child. This
is required by law in most countries.
The regulations concerning driving with
children in the front seat may differ from
country to country. You are advised to
comply with the relevant regulations.

model.Infants and small children
When transporting infants and small
children in your vehicle, follow the
instruction given below.

Page 110 of 312
Instructions:For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should
be used.
The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For a
higher degree of safety THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT
(Double cab and Club cab).
Before purchasing a child restraint
system, try installing it in the seat to
make sure there is a good fit. Because
of the location of the seat belt buckles
and the shape of the seat cushion, it
may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can bepulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another
manufacturer’s child restraint system.
138) 139) 140)
Older children
Children who have outgrown the child
restraint system should be seated in the
rear seat and wear combination lap
shoulder belt. The lap portion of the belt
should be snug and positioned low on
the abdomen so that it is below the top
of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt
could intrude into the child’s abdomen
during an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
123)Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary.
124)When possible, put children in the
rear seat. Accident statistics indicate that
children of all sizes and ages are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat (Club cab and
Double cab).
125)Holding a child in your arms is no
substitute for a restraint system. Failure to
use a proper restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
126)Each child restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.127)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided by
the Manufacturer.
128)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).
129)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.
130)When attaching a child restraint
system to the rear seat, prevent the front
seat from touching the child restraint
system. Otherwise, the child could be
seriously injured in the event of hard
braking or a collision (Club cab and Double
cab).
131)On vehicles with an airbag for the
front passenger, a REARWARD FACING
CHILD RESTRAINT must NOT be used in
the front passenger seat as it places an
infant too close to the passenger airbag.
The force of an inflating airbag could kill or
cause serious injuries to the child. A
rearward facing child restraint must only be
used in the rear seat. (Club cab and
Double cab).
