Never exceed the maximum allowed load
in the boot (see “Technical Specifica-
tions”). Make sure that the objects are well
arranged in the boot so that they will not be pro-
jected forwards following sudden braking.

haust gases may get into the passenger’s
compartment.
WARNING
If you travel in areas with few filling sta-
tions and you want to transport fuel in
a spare tank, comply with the regulations in force
and use only an approved, suitably secured tank.
Even in this way the risk of fire increases in case
of accident.

ed and place only for one person on the rear seat.

To close - fig. 81
Hold the bonnet up with one hand and with the other
remove rod B from its recess D; then, fit it back into its
catch C.
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres above
the engine compartment and let it come down. Make sure
the bonnet is properly locked and not just secured in safe-
ty position. In this case, do not press the bonnet down, rather
lift it again and repeat the procedure.
For safety reasons, the bonnet must al-
ways be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Make sure that the bonnet is properly
closed and that the lock is engaged. Should you
notice that the bonnet is not properly secured
while travelling, stop the car immediately and lose
the bonnet safely.
WARNING
Pay attention to scarves, ties and other
loose fitting garments. If they accidental-
ly touch moving parts, they may easily get caught
up with serious risks for those who wear them.

When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not raise foot,
but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop in the
shortest amount of space possible depending on
the current road conditions.
WARNING
If the ABS system cuts in, it means that the
grip between the tyre and the road surface
is close to its limit: you must slow down to match
the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
The ABS make the best use of the avail-
able grip but cannot increase it. You
should always drive carefully on slippery surfaces
and avoid any unnecessary risks.
WARNING
ABS SYSTEM (for versions/markets, where provided)
This system, which is an integral part of the braking sys-
tem, prevents one or more wheels from locking and slip-
ping in all road surface conditions, irrespective of the
intensity of the braking action, ensuring that the vehicle can
be controlled even during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution)
completes the system allowing the brake force to be dis-
tributed between the front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To get the maximum efficiency of the brak-
ing system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is need-
ed: during this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeat-
ed and prolonged braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system gets
noisier: it means that the car speed should be altered to suit
the type of road surface.

If only the
x
warning light on the instru-
ment panel lights up – together with
a message in the reconfigurable multifunction dis-
play (for versions/markets, where provided) – stop
the car immediately and contact the nearest
Fiat Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from
the braking system will compromise the operation
of the braking system, whether it is of the con-
ventional type or with ABS.WARNING
FAILURE WARNING
ABS failure fig. 86
It is indicated by the
>
warning light on the instrument
panel - together with the dedicated message in the re-
configurable multifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided) - coming on (see “Warning lights
and messages” chapter).
In this case, the braking system will still be effective, al-
though without the extra capacity offered by the ABS sys-
tem. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
EBD failure fig. 87
It is indicated by the
>
and
x
warning lights on the in-
strument panel - together with the dedicated message
in the multifunction display (for versions/markets, where
provided) - coming on (see “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the ve-
hicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive carefully
to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
