New mission
The new mission begins after:
– “manual” resetting by the user, by press-
ing the relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the “Trip
distance” reaches 9999.9 km or when the
“Travel time” reaches 99.59 (99 hours and
59 minutes);
– disconnection/reconnection of the bat-
tery.
IMPORTANT The reset operations per-
formed after the “General Trip” message
appears are used to also reset the “Trip
B”, which, on its turn, is used to reset the
values of the corresponding function. Travel time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of a new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “----” will appear instead
of the Trip Computer values. Displaying
of the values will be resumed regularly
when normal operation is restored with-
out resetting the values displayed before
the failure nor starting a new mission.
TRIP button fig. 34
Button TRIPlocated on the top of the
right steering column stalk is used (with
ignition key at MAR) to display and re-
set the previously described values to start
a new mission:
– short pressing to display the different
values;
– long pressing to reset and then start a
new mission. Values displayed
Range
It indicates the distance left to travel based
on the fuel in the tank assuming that dri-
ving conditions will not change. The mes-
sage “----” will appear on the display in the
following cases:
– the range value is below 50 km (30
miles) or the fuel level is below 4 litres;
– car left parked with engine running for
long.
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of a new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the average consump-
tion from the start of a new mission.
Instant consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The
value is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the car
is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car average speed as
a function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of the a mission.

ary and the engine turned off.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-

Activation
With the ignition key on STOPor
removed, pull the stalk towards the
steering wheel within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk,
the time in which the lights stay on is
extended by 30 seconds up to maximum
210 seconds. After this time, the lights
go off automatically. AUTOMATIC LIGHT SENSORS
(dusk sensor) (where provided)
This sensor detects any changes in the
external brightness according to the
sensitivity of the set light level: the high-
er the sensitivity, the lower the amount
of external light needed to switch the
lights on. The sensitivity of the dusk sen-
sor is adjusted by means of the “Setup
menu” on the “Multifunctional Display”.
Activation
Rotate the knurled ring in position
2A
fig. 72as to cause automatic switching
on of the side/tail lights and low beam
lights simultaneously depending on the
external brightness.

TO REDUCE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒disengaging the device and then
memorising the new speed;
or
❒moving the stalk downwards (–) until
reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk down-
wards continuously will correspond to a
continuous speed reduction.
DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
Turn the ring A-fig. 78to OFFor the ig-
nition key to STOP. The device is auto-
matically deactivated also in one of the fol-
lowing cases:
❒pressing the brake or clutch pedal.
In the event of device mal-
function or failure, turn the
knurled ring A to OFF and contact a
Fiat Dealership after checking the
protective fuse integrity.

When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
WARNING
If brake fluid low warning
light xlights up on the in-
strument panel (together, where pro-
vided, with the message on the re-
configurable multifunction display),
stop immediately the car and contact
the closest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaks
from the hydraulic system, in fact, can
compromise the braking system, both
traditional systems and systems with
ABS.
WARNING
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuos diagnosis of
the components of the car correlated with
emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
warning light Uon the instrument panel
(together, where provided, with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunction
display - see the “Warning lights” chapter)
when these components are no longer in
peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep system efficiency under con-
trol;
❒to warn when a fault causes emission
levels to increase;
❒to warn of the need to replace dete-
riorated components.The system also has a diagnostic connec-
tor that can be interfaced with appropri-
ate tools, which makes it possible to read
the error codes stored in the control unit,
together with a series of specific parame-
ters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may also call for a long journey.
If turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light
Udoes not turn on or if, while
travelling, it turns on glowing
steadily or flashing, (on some versions
together with the message on the re-
configurable multifunction display),
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible. The operation of warning light
Ucan be checked by the traffic po-
lice. Attain to the rules enforced in the
country where the car is being used.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is fitted with an electrically con-
trolled power steering called “Dualdrive”.
It only works when the ignition key is at
MARand the engine is running and it can
be customised by the driver according to
the driving conditions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To turn this function on/off, press the
CITY fig. 130button located in the mid-
dle of the instrument panel.
On some versions the activation of this
function is signalled by the lighting up of
the CITYwarning light on the instrument
panel, on others by the lighting up of
CITYon the reconfigurable multifunction
display.
With the CITYfunction, the steering
wheel will be lighter and require less ef-
fort for parking. This operating strategy
is suitable for driving in cities.
fig. 130F0H0716m
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and result in car non-
compliance with the regulations in
force.
WARNING
In the event of electric power steering fail-
ure, the car can be driven with mechani-
cal steering to the closest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by the system to pre-
vent motor overheating. No servicing is
required. The electrical power steering
system will return to normal operation
the next time the car is used.
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steer-
ing lock before carrying out any main-
tenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running), re-
move the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
WARNING
FAILURE WARNINGS
Any electric power steering failure is in-
dicated by cluster warning light
gcom-
ing on (together, where provided, with the
message on the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display - see the “Warning lights”
chapter).
