EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
the components of the vehicle correlat-
ed with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
warning light
Uon the instrument panel
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”), when these conditions are no
longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under con-
trol;
❒ warn when a fault causes emissions lev-
els to increase;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorat-
ed components.The system also has a diagnostic connec-
tor that can be interfaced with appropri-
ate tools, which makes it possible to read
the error codes stored in the control unit,
together with a series of specific parame-
ters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may also call for a long journey.If when turning the ignition
key to M, the warning light
Udoes not turn on or if,
while travelling it turns on
glowing steadily or flashing, contact
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Warning light Uoperation can be
checked by means of special equip-
ment by traffic agents. Always comply
with the traffic regulations in force in
the country where you are travelling.

PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 114and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
In order to deactivate the parking sensors,
press button A-fig. 115present between
the commands on the bridge of the cen-
tral compartment. The deactivation is sig-
nalled by the lighting of the led Bon the
button.
In order to re-activate them, press button
Aagain.
When the distance from the obstacle sit-
uated behind the vehicle diminishes, it cor-
responds with an increase in the frequen-
cy of the beeping.
WARNING The condition of the parking
sensors (activated or deactivated) is mem-
orised upon switching off the engine.BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the distance be-
tween the vehicle and the obstacle de-
creases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of manoeu-
vres along walls.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures, if any, will be in-
dicated when engaging reverse by the
buzzer and the turning on of led
B-fig. 115together with the message on
the display.

Refuelling
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 116
To carry out fuelling, open lid A, fit the ig-
nition key into the cap lock and turn it
counterclockwise, then loosen cap B.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the de-
vice Cinside the lid.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
Operation at cold temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suit-
able for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART ad-
ditive in the proportions stated on the can,
putting first the antifreeze in the tank and
then the diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the vehicle
is used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period.
In this event you are recommended to
keep an amount of fuel higher than 50% in
the tank.The vehicle must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with in-
validation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fu-
el, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in ad-
dition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
Keep naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes away from the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
During refuelling, do not open
the left sliding door due to the
fact that the open fuel door.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter, integral with the exhaust system,
that physically traps particulates present
in the exhaust gases of Diesel engine.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost totally par-
ticulates in compliance with current / fu-
ture law regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the en-
gine control unit records a set of data (e.g.:
travel time, type of route, temperatures,
etc.) and it will then calculate how much
particulates has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles.
Reclaiming procedure is controlled auto-
matically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the vehicle.
During reclaiming the following phenom-
ena could take place: idling slight increase,
fan activation, slight smoke increase, high
exhaust temperatures. These situations
shall not be considered as faults and they
do not affect vehicle performance and en-
vironment.
During normal service the
diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures. Do not
therefore park the vehicle over in-
flammable materials (grass, dry leaves,
pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
WARNING
During normal service the
catalyst reaches high tem-
peratures. Do not therefore park the
vehicle over inflammable materials
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.):
fire hazard.
WARNING
PROTECTING
THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing diesel engine
emissions are:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒ exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
Diesel re-ignition pump
In case of the lack of fuel, it is necessary
to re-start the circuit:
❒ fill the fuel tank with at least 5 litres of
diesel;
❒ activate the manual re-operation pump,
situated under the engine casing under
the protection, until the fuel appears in
the transparent tube;
❒ activate the starting engine, until the en-
gine starts.

If the vehicle has been stolen
or in the case of attempt to
steal it, if it has been subjected to
vandalism or floods, have the airbag
system checked by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The airbags may also be de-
ployed when the vehicle is
not moving, if the key is in the igni-
tion and turned to MAR-ON or when
the engine is off, if the vehicle is hit
by another moving vehicle. For this
reason, children must NEVER occupy
the front seats in a rearward facing
seat even if the vehicle is not moving.
Deployment of the airbag following
an impact could cause fatal injuries
to the child. Always deactivate the
front passenger airbag if arranging a
child restraint system on one of the
front seats is necessary. On the oth-
er hand, if the key is turned to STOP,
none of the safety devices (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in the
event of an impact. Non-deployment
of these devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
The airbag deployment
threshold is higher than that
of the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two thresholds,
it is normal for only the pretensioners
to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace
the seat belts but increases
their efficiency. Because front airbags
are not deployed for low-speed im-
pacts, side collisions, rear-end shunts
or rollovers, in these cases occupants
are protected only by their seat belts,
which must therefore always be fas-
tened.
WARNINGThe expiry dates of the py-
rotechnic charge and the
clock spring are shown on a specific
plate contained in the glove box. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealership when these
dates approach.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects
in your lap, in front of your
chest or between your lips (pipe, pen-
cils, etc.). They could cause severe in-
jury if the airbag is deployed.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
ENGINE STARTING
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic en-
gine lock device: if the engine fails to start,
see the paragraph “The Fiat CODE sys-
tem” in section “Dashboard and controls”.
The engine may be noisier than usual dur-
ing the first seconds of operation, espe-
cially after it has not been used for a while.
This characteristic feature does not com-
promise functionality or reliability of the
hydraulic tappets: the timing system de-
vised to limit servicing.
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full vehicle perfor-
mance (e.g.: excessive accel-
eration, long journeys at top speed,
sharp braking, etc.).
When the engine is switched
off never leave the key into
the ignition switch to prevent
pointless current absorption
from draining the battery.
Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely dan-
gerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
WARNING
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering
are not operational until the engine
has been started, therefore much ef-
fort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING
Dashboard and controls
Proceed as follows:
❒Ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒Put the gear lever into neutral;
❒Turn the ignition key to M: the warn-
ing light
mon the instrument panel
display will turn on;
❒Wait for the warning light mto turn
off. The hotter the engine is, the quick-
er this will happen;
❒Press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒Turn the ignition key to Das soon as
warning light
mgoes out. If you wait
too long you will lose the benefit of the
work done by the glow plugs. Release
the key as soon as the engine starts.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to Sbefore
repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at M, the dis-
play warning light
mremains lit, turn the
key to Sand then back to M; if the warn-
ing lights remain on, try with the other
keys provided with the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key
to Mwhen the engine is off.
The warning light m will flash
for 60 seconds at start-up or
during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault in the glow
plug heating system. You can use the
vehicle as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒Do not drive at full performance for the
initial kilometres. Wait until the coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering are
not operational until the en-
gine has been started, there-
fore much effort than usual is required
on the brake pedal and steering wheel.
Never bump start the engine
by pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill as this could
cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic exhaust system and damage
it beyond repair.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to Swhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch its
breath” before turning it off by letting it
idle to allow the temperature in the en-
gine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the acceler-
ator before turning off the en-
gine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to tur-
bocharged engines.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLEHANDBRAKE fig. 1
The handbrake lever is located next to the
driver’s seat.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the
vehicle cannot be moved. Four or five
clicks are generally enough when the ve-
hicle is on level ground while nine or ten
may be required if the vehicle is on a steep
slope or laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake
adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up
and the ignition key is at M, the instrument
panel warning light
xwill turn on.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒Stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
❒Engage a gear (on a slope, engage first
gear if the vehicle is faced uphill or re-
verse if it is faced downhill) and leave
the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the vehicle is parked on a steep slope.
Do not leave the key in the ignition switch
to prevent draining the battery. Always
remove the key when you leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave children unat-
tended in the vehicle. Always
remove the ignition key when leaving
the vehicle and take it out with you.
WARNING
fig. 1F0P0118m
To release the handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and press re-
lease button A;
❒keep button Apressed and lower the
lever. Warning light xwill turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out
this operation to prevent the vehicle from
moving accidentally.
If pneumatic suspensions are
fitted when parking always
make sure there is enough
space above the roof and
around the vehicle. The vehicle could
actually raise (or lower) automatical-
ly according to changes in temperature
or load.

GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-
al fully and shift the gear lever into one of
the required positions (the diagram is
shown on the knob).
IMPORTANT The vehicle can only be put
into reverse gear when it has stopped
moving completely. With the engine run-
ning, before engaging the reverse, wait at
least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal ful-
ly down to prevent damage and grating of
the gears.

In order to activate the reverse motion R
from the neutral position, move the lever
towards the right and then backwards.
6 speed gearbox fig. 2/a
In order to activate the reverse motion R
from the neutral position, lift the sliding
collar placed under the knob and, at the
same time move the lever towards the left
and then forwards.
To change gears properly
you must push the clutch
pedal fully down. It is therefore es-
sential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying
flat and do not get in the way of 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 on the gearbox inter-
nal components.
