AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
The controls fig.110are located in the
bottom rear of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is fitted with pneumatic sus-
pensions with automatic adjustment, the
system will adjust automatically the height
of the vehicle according to the load.
The warning light
…on the instrument
panel will blink when the height level is not
adequate and is to be adjusted: in this case
let the engine run without accelerating un-
til the warning light turns off (optimum
suspension adjustment).
Under certain conditions it could be tem-
porarily not possible to perform the re-
quired adjustment:
❒one or more doors open;
❒vehicle braked (brake pedal pressed,
e.g. stop at red light).
Turning the system off
and on again
To turn the system off: keep button A-
fig. 110pressed until hearing the beep.
Double beep and button led Aturning on
will confirm deactivation.Once the system is deactivated, to reac-
tivate it (only with vehicle stationary) keep
button A-fig. 110pressed until hearing
the beep. Double beep and button led A
turning on will confirm reactivation.

LOAD
RECOMMENDATIONS
This vehicle has been designed and ap-
proved on the basis of several set maxi-
mum weights (see the tables “Weights” in
section “Technical Specifications”):
❒kerb weight;
❒payload;
❒total weight;
❒max. load on front axle;
❒max. load on rear axle;
❒towable load.
Each of these limits must be
borne in mind and MUST
NEVER BE EXCEEDED under any cir-
cumstances. In particular, never ex-
ceed the maximum weight permitted
on the front and rear axles when ar-
ranging loads in the vehicle (espe-
cially for special version vehicles).

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el together with the message on the mul-
tifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
In this case the braking system is still effi-
cient, though without the aid of the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the closest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
brake circuit.
Brake Assist is deactivated on vehicles
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by the switching on
of warning light
™).
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
WARNING
EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>, xand STOP on the
instrument panel together with the mes-
sage on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the pos-
sibility of skidding. Drive extremely care-
fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
If warning light xalone
comes on (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
for versions/markets, where provid-
ed), stop the vehicle immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system,
in fact, can compromise the braking
system, both traditional systems and
systems with ABS.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
In case of an eventual anomaly, the ESP
system automatically disconnects itself and
on the instrument panel the warning light
™is fixed, accompanied by a beeper and
a dedicated message on the display (see
chapter “Warning lights and messages”).
In which case please seek advice, as soon
as possible, from the Fiat Dealership.
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility and traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
The ASR system controls the vehicle
drive and cuts in automatically every
time one or both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different con-
trol systems are activated:
❒ if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping. The action of the ASR system is particu-
larly helpful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).
For correct operation of the
ESP and ASR systems, the
tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in per-
fect conditions and, above all, of
type, brand and size specified.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
It is an integral part of the ASR system that
in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-
viding torque to the engine thus prevent-
ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.Switching the system on/off
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching the ESP system off will auto-
matically switch off the ASR system too.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again by pressing switch Alo-
cated on the dashboard fig. 119.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led
B-fig. 119on the switch and by relevant
message on the multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.
The performance of the sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks.
The style of driving must in any case
always be adapted to the conditions
of the road surface, visibility and traf-
fic. Road safety is always the driver’s
responsibility.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ASR system,
the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect
conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light
™will come with fixed
light on the instrument panel, (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.

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.

MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS TO CARRY CHILDREN SAFELY:
1) The recommended position for installing child restraint systems, is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in the event
of an impact.
2) If the passenger airbag is deactivated, always check that the amber warning light on the instrument panel switches on constantly
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions provided with the child restraint system which are mandatory by law. Keep the instructions in
the vehicle along with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use second-hand child restraint systems without in-
structions.
4) Always check that the seat belts are well fastened with a traction test.
5) Only one child is to be secured into each restraint system; never carry two children using one child restraint system.
6) Always check that the seat belts do not interfere with the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
8) Never allow a child to put the seat belt’s diagonal section under an arm or behind their back.
9) Never carry children on your lap, not even newborns. No-one, regardless of his/her strength, can restrain a child in the event of
an accident.
10) In the event of an accident, replace the child restraint system with a new one

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.
