DUALOGIC
GEARBOX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
45)
The vehicle can be equipped with an
electronically controlled manual
gearbox known as Dualogic which
allows two operating modes: MANUAL
and AUTO.
GEAR LEVER
The gear lever A fig. 79, located on the
dashboard, is floating multistable type,
i.e. it has three stable positions and
three unstable positions.
The three stable positions correspond
to neutral (N), reverse (R) and the
central position located between the
unstable positions (+) and (-).The unstable positions, in other words
those that are abandoned as soon
as the lever is released, are the
positions for requesting a higher gear
(+), requesting a lower gear (–) and
requesting automatic operating mode
(A/M).
IMPORTANT With the engine started,
any error between the lever position
and the gear actually engaged is
signalled by a buzzer until consistency
is restored.
MANUAL MODE
Proceed as follows:
press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
if AUTO appears on the display,
move the lever A fig. 79 to A/M to
select MANUAL mode;
push gear lever A towards (+) to
engage first gear (if starting from N or
R, simply place the lever in the middle
position) or R to engage reverse;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal;
in driving conditions, push lever A of
the gearbox towards (+) to engage
the next gear up or towards (–) to
engage the next gear down.AUTOMATIC MODE
Proceed as follows:
press the brake pedal;
start the engine;
if AUTO does not appear on the
display, move the gear lever A fig. 79 to
A/M to select AUTOMATIC mode;
push the gear lever towards (+) to
engage 1st gear (if starting from N or R,
simply place the lever in the middle
position) or R to engage reverse;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal: the gear most
suited to the vehicle speed will be
engaged.
AUTO-ECO OPERATION
To activate the function press the ECO
button fig. 80 on the central tunnel.
The ECO function can be only activated
only with automatic mode active.

STOP/START
SYSTEM
125) 126)46)
The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine when the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off. This
reduces consumption, the emission of
harmful gases and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Engine stopping mode: with the
vehicle stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal
released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding a speed
of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
Restarting the engine: press the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.MANUAL SYSTEM
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system
manually, press the
fig. 84 button on
the dashboard control trim.
LED off: system deactivated.
LED on: system deactivated.
WARNING
125)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. The
replacement battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should have the
same characteristics.126)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Please
follow the instructions on the decal near
the front crossmember. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the vehicle. Exit
from the vehicle only after having removed
the ignition key or having rotated it to the
STOP position. During refuelling, make sure
that the engine is off and that the ignition
key is in the STOP position.
WARNING
46)If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Stop/Start system can be disabled, for a
continuous operation of the climate control
system.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions. For this
reason, Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to a set time
schedule. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with
the owner's explicit agreement only.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should
be reduced.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the vehicle is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer
or motorhome; dusty roads; short (less
than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys
with sub-zero outside temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speed or long periods
of inactivity, the following checks must
be carried out more often than
indicated in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes
and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes)
and rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter / pollen
filter / air cleaner.

ENGINE OIL
60) 61)3)
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
km.
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 FLUID
160)62)
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 WASHING FLUID
161)
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
162) 163)63)
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.

164) 165) 166) 167)
64)5)
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.
