IMPORTANT Check alignment every time the load
carried changes.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the lights checked
and adjusted, if necessary.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the
country where the vehicle was originally purchased.
When travelling in countries with opposite driving
direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers on the other
side of the road, you need to cover areas of the
headlight according to the Highway code of the
country you are travelling in.
ABSABS is an integral part of the braking system which
prevents, whatever the road conditions and force
applied to the brake pedal, one or more wheels from
locking and consequently slipping, thus ensuring
that the car remains under control even during
emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency of
the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 500
km is needed: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it ;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS system has come
into action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly
and the system gets noisier: it means that the speed
should be altered to suit the type of road surface.

TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful for setting off in
poor grip conditions (snow, ice, mud, etc.) which
allows the drive force to be distributed in the best
way over the front axle when one wheel is slipping.
In effect, Traction Plus acts by braking the wheels
with poor grip (or those slipping more than the
others), thereby transferring the drive force to those
which have more grip on the ground.
This function can be activated manually by pressing
the button T+ close to the gear lever fig. 68 and
operates under 30 km/h. When this speed is
exceeded, it is automatically deactivated (the LED on
the button is still on) and it is reactivated again
when the speed is below 30 km/h.Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when starting. To activate
the Traction Plus system, press the T+ button fig. 68:
the LED on the button switches on; the display
shows a dedicated message.
The activation of the Traction Plus system causes the
differential locking effect on the front axle, through
the braking system, to improve traction on irregular
grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty, theESCwarning
light on the instrument panel switches on
constantly.

WARNING
Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition switch to operate the steering
lock, particularly when the wheels do not touch
the ground. If this is not possible (for example
if the key needs to be turned to MAR or the
engine must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.
WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
If no car radio was requested at the time of
purchase, the car is provided with a compartment on
the dashboard fig. 79.

SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the torso straight
and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 86
and insert it into the buckle B, until it clicks into
place. On removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the
seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting. Through the reel, the belt
automatically adapts to the body of the passenger
wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.
WARNING
Never press button C fig. 86 when
travelling.
The reel may lock when the car is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or
in the event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel. Fasten the rear seat
belts as shown in fig. 87 (4-seater versions) or
(5-seater versions) fig. 88.

IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when the
vehicle is in motion, check that the handbrake is
not engaged.
EBD FAILURE (red)
(amber)
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and
(amber) warning lights with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive very
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the
system inspected immediately. On some versions the
display shows the dedicated message.
ABS FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on (on some versions,
with a message on the display and a symbol on
the display) when the system is not efficient. In this
case the braking system maintains its own efficiency
unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS
system. Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
Turning the key to MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly (on some
versions, with a message on the display and a symbol
on the display) to indicate an airbag system fault.
WARNING
If, when turning the key to MAR, the
warning light
does not switch on or
stays on whilst driving, a fault may be present in
the restraint systems. In this case the airbags
or pretensioners may not be deployed in an
impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may
be deployed accidentally. Before continuing,
contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.The overall
duration of the space-saver spare wheel is
of about 3000 km, after which the relevant tyre
must be replaced with another one of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a small spare wheel.
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Using two or more small spare
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting:
they could unscrew themselves.
WARNING
The jack may be used to replace wheels
only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the jack
may cause the car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Never install snow chains on the space-saver
spare wheel; if a front tyre (driving wheel)
is punctured and you need to use snow chains,
use a standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver spare wheel on the rear
axle. In this way, with two normal front drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, complying with the values
given in the "Technical specifications" chapter.
