GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it
is made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.DASHBOARD ................................. 7

D - Heated rear window and (for versions/markets, where provided) heated mirrors/heated windscreen activation/deactivation.
E - Fan speed adjustment and climate control system activation/deactivation knob (for versions/markets, where provided).
IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch the air recirculation on whilst queuing or in tunnels, or whilst driving on dusty roads, to
prevent the introduction of polluted air. However, it is better not to use the function for long periods, particularly if there are
many people on board, to prevent the windows from misting.
NoteTo stop the air flow from the vents, turn the knob to 0.
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The additional heater speeds up passenger compartment warming when it is very cold. The heater switches on automatically
according to the environmental conditions and with engine started when the temperature of the engine coolant is low. The
additional heater turns off automatically after the required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater only works if the outside temperature and engine coolant temperature are low. The heater will not activate if the
battery voltage is too low.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Controls
A - Manual air distribution selection.
By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible air flow distribution patterns can be selected:
air outlet from the windscreen and front side window vents to demist or defrost them.
air outlet from the dashboard central and side vents to ventilate the chest and the face.
air outlet from footwell vents. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the
passenger compartment up as quickly as possible.
+air outlet from the footwell vents (warmest air) and the dashboard vents (coolest air).
+air outlet from footwell, windscreen and front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves effective heating of
the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.

B - Activation/deactivation of the MAX-DEF function (fast front window defrosting/demisting).
C - Climate control system compressor activation/deactivation.
D - Internal air recirculation activation/deactivation button.
E - Climate control on/off.
F - Heated rear window and (for versions/markets, where provided) heated mirrors/heated windscreen activation/deactivation.
G/M - Fan speed adjustment.
H - AUTO function activation (climate control system automatic operation).
I/L - Adjustment of temperature inside the passenger compartment.
The automatic climate control manages the Stop/Start function (engine off when the vehicle speed is zero) to guarantee
adequate comfort inside the passenger compartment.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop/Start function to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
18)It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could rapidly steam up.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is
not compatible with the system components.

WARNING
44)If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Stop/Start system can be disabled, for a
continuous operation of the climate control
system.
PARKING SENSORS
128)45)
SENSORS
The sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 83 and their function is to
detect the presence of any obstacles
near the rear part of the vehicle and
inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal.
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer,
the acoustic signal becomes more
frequent.OPERATION WITH A
TRAILER
Sensor operation is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric
cable plug is fitted in the vehicle's
tow hook socket. The sensors are
automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above
or under the sensor.
Objects close to the vehicle are not
detected under certain circumstances
and could therefore cause damage
to the vehicle or be damaged.
The following conditions may influence
the performance of the parking
assistance system:
❒the presence of ice, snow, mud or
multiple layers of paint on the surface of
the sensor may reduce its sensitivity
and the system performance;
❒mechanical interference (e.g. washing
the vehicle, rain, strong wind, hail) may
cause the sensor to detect a
non-existent obstacle ("echo
interference");

STARTING AND DRIVING
Page 135 of 196
ENGINE OIL
56) 57)4)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
five) after the engine has stopped,
with the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick B. If the oil level is near or even
under the MIN mark, add oil using the
filler A to reach the MAX mark.
NOTE For the 0.9 TwinAir and 0.9
TwinAir Turbo versions, engine oil
dipstick B is integral with the cap A.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 k m .
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the
level.ENGINE COOLANT
167)58)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, unscrew reservoir
cap C and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" section.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
168)
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap
D (see previous pages) and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
BRAKE FLUID
169) 170)59)
Check that the fluid is at the maximum
level (the fluid level in the reservoir
must not exceed the MAX mark). If the
fluid level in the reservoir is too low,
undo reservoir cap E and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.

HYDRAULIC ACTIVATION
SYSTEM OIL
5)
The fluid level should only be checked
at a Fiat Dealership.BATTERY
171) 172) 173) 174)
60)6)
Battery F does not require topping up
the electrolyte with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Fiat
Dealership is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked at a
Fiat Dealership.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, vehicle load, presence of roof racks and other situations that
adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured. The
fuel consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.
FUEL CONSUMPTION ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE (litres/100 km)
NOTE Consumption of methane-fuelled Natural Power versions is intended in m
3/100 km.
