SKY DOME SUNROOF
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The large electric sunroof comprises two
panes of glass, one of which is mobile and
the other fixed. These are equipped with
two shutters (front and rear) that can be
moved manually. The shutters can be used
in the “fully closed” or “fully open” posi-
tions (they have no fixed intermediate po-
sitions). To open the shutters: grip handle
A-fig. 68, release it and move it in the
direction of the arrows to the “fully open”
position. To close them, carry out the
procedure in reverse. The sunroof can be
operated only when the ignition key is
turned to MAR. The controls A-B fig. 67

fig. 79F0M0094m
Putting additional objects on-
to the parcel shelf or rear
door (speakers, spoiler, etc.),
except when approved by the
manufacturer, can affect the correct
operation of the side gas shock ab-
sorbers of the rear door itself.
When using the boot, never
exceed the maximum ad-
missible loads (see section “Technical
specifications”). Make sure that the
objects are well arranged in the boot
so that they will not be projected for-
wards following sudden braking, caus-
ing injury to passengers.
WARNING
When travelling, do not put
any object on the parcel
shelf because they can injure passen-
gers in the event of an accident or
sudden braking.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS
ANDMOBILEPHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mo-
bile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.)
shall not be used inside the car unless
a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices in-
side the passenger compartment (without
a separate aerial) may cause the vehicle
electrical systems to malfunction. This
could compromise safety in addition to
constituting a potential hazard for pas-
sengers’ health.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the car body.
With regard to EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), you should
adhere strictly to the instructions provid-
ed by the mobile phone’s manufacturer.
Take care when fitting addi-
tional spoilers, alloy wheels
or non-standard wheel hubs: they
could reduce the ventilation of the
brakes and affect efficiency under
sharp, repeated braking or on long
descents. Make sure that nothing ob-
structs the pedals (mats, etc.)
WARNINGINSTALLING ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed
after buying the car in the context of af-
ter-sales service must carry the following
label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation
of transceiving devices provided that they
are installed by a specialised centre ac-
cording to rules of good engineering prac-
tice in compliance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not al-
low the car on the road if devices have
been installed which modify the features
of the car. This may also cause invalida-
tion of warranty in relation to faults
caused by the change or either directly or
indirectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for dam-
age caused by the installation of acces-
sories either not supplied or recom-
mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not
installed in compliance with the provided
instructions.

Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or ski rack from the
roof after use. These accessories decrease
aerodynamic penetration and have a neg-
ative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particu-
larly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount
of time needed. The heated rear window,
auxiliary headlights, windscreen wipers and
fan heater use up a considerable amount
of current, causing increased fuel con-
sumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Air conditioning
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel con-
sumption (on average up to +20%). If the
temperature outside is not too extreme,
try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect aerodynamics and fuel con-
sumption.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary; this
causes the engine to warm up more slow-
ly, thereby increasing fuel consumption
and emissions. It is advisable to set off im-
mediately and slowly, avoiding high revs:
this allows the engine to warm up more
quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when stationary at traf-
fic lights or before stopping the engine.
The latter action, like double declutching,
is entirely unnecessary and causes in-
creased fuel consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and
road conditions allow. Using a low gear
for faster acceleration will increase fuel
consumption.
In the same way, improper use of a high
gear increases fuel consumption, emissions
and engine wear.SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to save fuel and reduce the
amount of toxic emissions released into
the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled Service
Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once
every 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low,
consumption levels increase as resistance
to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the car (especially when dri-
ving in town) and its arrangement greatly
affect fuel consumption and stability.

EXHAUSTED ENGINE
OIL
(only Multijet versions with
DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR
(ON), the warning light switches on and
should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on
constantly (for versions/markets, where
provided) along with the message on the
display when the system detects that en-
gine oil pressure is low.
v
If the warning light vturns on when the vehicle is
travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the dis-
play) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
❒if the vehicle is used under de-
manding conditions (e.g. towing
trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow
down and, if the light stays on, stop the
car. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated
to assist better coolant circulation.
Then switch the engine off. Check cor-
rect fluid level as described above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding
journeys, it is advisable to keep the engine
on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
out as soon as the engine is started (with
the engine idling, a brief delay can be ex-
pected).
If the warning light comes on, either per-
manently or intermittently, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
w
Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided). The
warning light may flash in the following
ways, depending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning
light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil
is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the en-
gine is started up, the warning light will
continue to flash in the above mentioned
modes, until the oil is changed. A specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided) in ad-
dition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not
mean that the car is defective but simply
informs the driver that it is now necessary
to change the oil as a result of regular ve-
hicle use.
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster
under the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city dri-
ving, requiring more frequent regenera-
tion of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time to
reach its regular operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regenera-
tion process, signalled by the DPF warn-
ing light coming on.

LOW ENGINE OIL
LEVEL (red)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
When turning the ignition key to MAR,
the warning light turns on but it should go
off after a few seconds.
This warning light where provided comes
on when the engine oil level falls below the
minimum recommended value. Restore
the correct engine oil level (see “Check-
ing fluid levels” in the “Servicing and care”
section).
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
kExhausted engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes on,
never more than 500 km after the
warning light first comes on. Failure
to change the oil within the first 500
km may result in severe damage to
the engine and will result in forfeiture
of the warranty. Remember that
when the warning light flashes, it does
not mean that the level of engine oil
is low, so if the light flashes you must
not top up.
WARNING
For versions/markets, where
provided:
the
vwarning light turns on and flash-
es along with the message on the display
(if applied) when the system detects that
the engine oil is exhausted. The flashing of
the warning light should not be considered
as a fault, rather simply informs the driver
that oil needs to be changed after a stan-
dard period of car utilisation. If the oil is
not changed, when reaching a second de-
terioration threshold, also the warning
light
Uswitches on in the instrument
panel and the engine operation is limited
at 3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when reach-
ing a third deterioration threshold, the en-
gine is limited at 1500 rpm to avoid dam-
age.
WARNING! To avoid dam-
aging the engine it is recom-
mended to change the en-
gine oil when the warning light
v
flashes. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

DPF (Particulate Filter)
CLEANING IN
PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions
with DPF – amber)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR
position, the warnintg light turns on but
should go off after a few seconds. The
warning light stays on constantly to noti-
fy the driver that the DPF system needs
to eliminate captured pollutants (particu-
late) by the regeneration process. The
warning light does not come on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when
driving conditions require notification to
the driver. The warning light will go off if
the vehicle stays in motion until regener-
ation has been completed. The process
normally takes about 15 minutes. The op-
timum conditions to end the process are
achieved by keeping the car in motion at
up to 60 km/h with an engine speed high-
er than 2000 rpm. This light coming on is
not a defect and therefore the car does
not need to go to the workshop. A spe-
cific message will appear on the display
when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
hAlways drive at a speed ap-
propriate to the traffic con-
ditions, the weather and speed limits.
The engine may be turned off while
the DPF light is on; however, repeat-
ed interruption of the regeneration
process may result in premature
degradation of engine oil. For this
reason it is always advisable to wait
for the light to go off before turning
off the engine, following the instruc-
tions appearing above. It is not
a good idea to complete DPF regen-
eration with the vehicle stationary.
