IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions fig. 21:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electric devices
(e.g. sound system, central door lock-
ing system, etc.) may work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices work regularly.
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable posi-
tion).
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
system that, in the event the engine is not
started, turns back the ignition key to
STOPbefore repeating the starting op-
eration.
fig. 21F0H0021m
STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is in position STOP, re-
move the key and turn the steering wheel
until it is locked.
Switching off
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
Never extract the key while
the car is moving. The steer-
ing wheel would lock automatically
as soon as the steering wheel is
turned. This also applies to when the
car is towed.
WARNING
Always remove the key when
you leave your car to pre-
vent someone from accidentally op-
erating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first
gear if the car is parked uphill or re-
verse if the car is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in
the car.

ADJUSTING THE
STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel can be adjusted in
height A-fig. 32and in depth B.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
❒release the lever by pulling it towards
the steering wheel (position 2);
❒adjust the steering wheel as required;
❒release the lever by pushing it for-
wards (position 1);
Any adjustment of the steer-
ing wheel position must be
carried out only with the car station-
ary and the engine turned off.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.

The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition flick.
Turn the ring F-fig. 73to increase the rain
sensor sensitivity.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition flick.
The smart cycle is started when the wind-
screen wiper is turned on while the rain
sensor is active without supplementary
flick after 5 seconds. The sensor will re-
sume normal automatic operation. “Smart wash” function
fig. 72
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the wind-
screen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half
a second, with just one movement it is
possible to operate the washer jet and the
wiper at the same time.
The jet will be released immediately when
the wiper stops after four flicks.
A further stroke after 5 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation. Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protec-
tion which prevents operation for a few
seconds may trip. If rear window wiper
operation is not reset, contact the Fi-
at Dealership.

DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
The car is provided with an electric pow-
er steering system which only works with
the key at MARand the engine running.
The system called “Dualdrive” allows to
customise the effort required to turn the
steering wheel according to driving con-
ditions.
ON/OFF (CITY function)
Press CITY fig. 126in the central part of
the dashboard to turn the function on and
off.
The CITYwarning light on the instru-
ment panel will light up when the function
is on; in other versions, the message
CITYwill appear on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display.
With the CITYfunction the effort on the
steering wheel is lighter, thus facilitating
parking manoeuvres: this is particularly
useful when driving in towns.

Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
The car can be driven using the mechani-
cal steering in case of failure to the elec-
tric power steering system. Take the car
to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT The steering may before
stiffer when parking requiring a lot of
steering. This is normal and caused by the
electric control motor overheating sys-
tem. No repairs are needed. The power
steering system will start working prop-
erly again the next time the car is used.
Before starting any mainte-
nance operation, stop the
engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch to operate the steer-
ing lock, particularly when the car is
lifted off the ground. If this is not pos-
sible (i.e. if the key must be kept in
the MAR position or the engine must
be kept running), remove the main
electric power steering system fuse.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Electric power steering failure is indicated
by the turning on of warning light
gon
the instrument panel together with the
dedicated message on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display (where provided),
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front airbags for
the driver and passenger and window bags
(head protection system). It may be pro-
vided with optional front side bags.
The front driver / passenger air bags have
been designed to protect the occupants in
the event of head-on crashes of medium-
high severity, by placing the cushion be-
tween the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect ve-
hicle occupants in head-on crashes and
therefore non-activation in other types of
collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag
to inflate in the event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing
itself between the front occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause in-
jury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are not
a replacement of but complementary to
the belts, which you are recommended to
always wear, as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.
In the event of a collision, a person not
wearing a seat belt may be thrown for-
ward and con into contact with the bag
before it has fully opened. The protectionoffered by the cushion is reduced in such
a case.
Front air bag may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the car front sur-
face (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath other
vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. un-
derneath a truck or a guard rail); in this
case, the bags would offer no addi-
tional protection with respect to the
seat belt and their deployment is un-
necessary. In these cases non-deploy-
ment of the airbag does not necessar-
ily indicate a system malfunction.
The front airbags (driver and passenger)
are designed and calibrated to protect
front seat occupants who are wearing seat
belts.
The volume of front air bags at max. in-
flation fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S
SIDE, Fig. 17
This consists of an instant inflating bag con-
tained in a special recess in the centre of
the steering wheel.fig. 17F0H0746m

PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
fig. 18
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained into a special recess Ain the
dashboard, this cushion has a volume big-
ger than that of the driver.
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of collisions of low severity (for which the
withholding action of the seat belts is suf-
ficient). For this reason, the seat belt must
be worn at all times. During side collisions
the seat belts hold passengers in the cor-
rect position and prevent ejection from
the vehicle during very violent collisions.
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects on the steering
wheel in zone A-fig. 18, passenger side
airbag cover or side upholstery on
roof. Do not place objects on the pas-
senger side dashboard because these
could interfere with the correct open-
ing of the airbag (e.g. mobile phones)
and cause severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
Do not arranged cradle
child restraints facing back-
wards if the passenger’s airbag is on.
Deployment of the airbag in an ac-
cident could cause fatal injuries to the
baby.
WARNING
If the car is provided with a
front passenger airbag, de-
activate the airbag when ar-
ranging a child restraint seat
on the front seat. Move the
passenger seat as far back
as possible to avoid contact between
the child seat and the dashboard. Al-
though this is not mandatory by law,
the air bag should be immediately re-
activated when children are no longer
carried to ensure better protection
for adults.
