Following the locking of the doors using: ❒
remote control;
❒
door catch;
it will not be possible to unlock them by
pressing button
A-fig. 72
located on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking on,
pulling the internal handle of one of the
front doors will unlock that door. Indi-
vidual doors can be unlocked by pulling
the internal handle of one of the rear
doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is, how-
ever, possible to lock the doors manually.
After exceeding a speed of 20 km/h, all
doors will be centrally locked automati-
cally if the setup menu function has been
selected (see paragraph “Multifunction dis-
play” in this section).
Once the dead lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to
open the doors from inside the vehi-
cle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is
no-one left on board. If the remote
control battery is flat, the system can
be disengaged only by inserting the
key in either of the door locks as de-
scribed previously: in this case the de-
vice remains active only for the rear
doors. DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒
interior handles;
❒
locking/unlocking button A-fig. 72;
thereby preventing the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger com-
partment if there has been a break-in at-
tempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the
best possible protection against break-in
attempts. We recommend engaging it
whenever the vehicle is parked and left un-
attended.Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door by briefly pressing
the remote control button
Áfig. 70twice.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes
of the direction indicators and a flash of
the LED on button
A-fig. 72
on the dash-
board.
If one or more of the doors is not closed
correctly, the dead lock device will not ac-
tivate, thus preventing a person from get-
ting stuck inside the passenger compart-
ment by entering the car through, and
then closing, the open door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒
when opening the driver’s door using
the key without remote control;
❒
when unlocking doors using the remote
control;
❒
when turning the ignition key to MAR.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION
OF FRONT AND SIDE CHEST/
PELVIS PASSENGER AIRBAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on
the front seat, the passenger’s front and side
chest/pelvis airbags (for versions/ markets,
where provided) must be deactivated.
The warning light
“
on the instrument
panel stays on steadily until the passenger’s
front and side chest airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) are re-activated.
To manually deactivate the
passenger’s front and side
chest/pelvis airbags (for versions/mar -
kets, where provided), refer to para-
graphs “Digital display” and “Mul -
tifunction display” in the section
“Dashboard and controls”.
WARNING
SIDE AIRBAGS The car is fitted with front side airbags
for driver and passenger (for versions/
mar kets, where provided) for protecting
the chest and pelvis, and window bags
(for versions/markets, where provided)
for protecting the heads of front and rear
passengers.
Side airbags (for versions/markets, where
provided) protect car occupants from
side-on crashes of medium/high severity
by placing the bag between the occupant
and the internal parts of the side structure
of the car.
Non-activation of side bags in other types
of collisions (head-on collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc…) is not an indi-
cation of system malfunction.
In the event of a side-on crash, an elec-
tronic control unit triggers the inflation of
the bag if required. The cushion immedi-
ately inflates, placing itself between the oc-
cupant’s body and structures that could
cause injuries, the cushion deflates Imme-
diately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets, where
provided) are not a replacement for, but
rather a complement to, the seat belts,
which should be worn at all times as spec-
ified by law in Europe and most non-Eu-
ropean countries.FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS
CHEST/PELVIS ZONE
PROTECTION fig. 17
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Front side airbags are housed in the seat
backrests. They consist of an instant-in-
flation bag designed to increase protection
of the occupants’ chest and pelvis zone in
the event of a side-on crash of medium/
high severity.

IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the car is sub-
ject to heavy knocks involving the under-
body area, such as violent shocks against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles, the car
falling into big holes or hollows in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will
be released when the airbags are de-
ployed. The dust is not harmful and does
not indicate the beginning of a fire. Fur-
thermore, the surface of the deployed bag
and the interior of the car may be covered
in a dusty residue: this may irritate skin
and eyes. Wash with mild soap and wa-
ter in the event of exposure. IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in
which any of the safety devices are acti-
vated, take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership
to have the activated devices replaced and
to have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement op-
eration concerning the airbags must be
carried out only at Fiat Dealerships.
If you are having the car scrapped, have
the airbag system deactivated at a Fiat
Dealership first. If the car changes own-
ership, the new owner must be informed
of the method of use of the airbags and
the above warnings, and also be given this
“Owner’s Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags
and front side bags are deployed differ-
ently according to the type of collision.
Non-deployment of one of these devices
does not therefore indicate a system fault. SIDE WINDOW BAGS - HEAD
PROTECTION fig. 18
(for versions/markets, were provided)
These consist of two “curtain” cushions,
one on the right and the other on the left
side of the car, located behind the side
coverings of the roof and covered by ap-
propriate finishings.
Window bags have been designed for pro-
tecting the head of front and rear occu-
pants in the event of a side-on collision,
thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side-on
crash, the system offers the best protec-
tion if you have a correct position on the
seat because this allows the side bags to
inflate correctly.

Never rest your head, arms
or elbows on the doors, on
the windows or in the window bag
area as this could cause injuries dur-
ing the inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean your head, arms
or elbows out of the window.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light
¬
does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the message
on the multifunction display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), there
could be a failure in the safety sys-
tems; in this event, airbags or pre-
tensioners may not trigger in case of
impact or, in a minor number of cas-
es, they could trigger accidentally.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear seats with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.

Depress the clutch pedal ful-
ly to change gear correctly.
There should be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make
sure that mats are always flat and do
not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox inter-
nal components.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or ski rack from the
roof after use. These accessories decrease
aerodynamic penetration and have a neg-
ative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-
ter to use a trailer to transport particu-
larly bulky objects.
Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount
of time needed. The heated rear window,
auxiliary headlights, windscreen wipers and
fan heater use up a considerable amount
of current, causing increased fuel con-
sumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Air conditioning
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel con-
sumption (on average up to +20%). If the
temperature outside is not too extreme,
try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect aerodynamics and fuel con-
sumption.
SAVING FUELHere are some suggestions which may
help you to save fuel and reduce the
amount of toxic emissions released into
the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled Service
Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once
every 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low,
consumption levels increase as resistance
to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the car (especially when dri-
ving in town) and its arrangement greatly
affect fuel consumption and stability.

CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer
than a month, the following precautions
should be observed:❒
park the car in covered, dry and, if pos-
sible, well-ventilated premises;
❒
engage a gear;
❒
check that the handbrake is engaged;
❒
disconnect the clip for the negative bat-
tery terminal and check battery charge.
Repeat this check once every three
months during storage. Recharge the
battery if the indicator is dark and the
middle area is not green;
❒
clean and protect the painted parts us-
ing protective wax;
❒
clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily avail-
able;
❒
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒
open the windows slightly;
❒
cover the car with a fabric or perfo-
rated plastic sheet. Do not use compact
plastic sheets which do not allow hu-
midity to evaporate from the surface of
the car;
❒
inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar
above the normal specified pressure
and check regularly;
❒
if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the in-
dicator shows a dark colour without
the central green area;
❒
do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off
the car alarm with the remote control.
Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted – do
not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pave-
ments and also avoid driving
for long distances on roads
not covered with snow to avoid dam-
aging the car and the road surface.
