“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To connect/disconnect the CITY function,
push the button A-fig. 125located on the
central tunnel on the side of the gearbox
control lever.
Connection of this function is reported by
the word CITY on the “Multifunction dis-
play”.
When the CITY function is on the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by warning light
gcoming on (together with the message on
the display) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT Under certain circum-
stances, factors independent from the
electric power steering could cause the il-
lumination of the warning light
gon the
instrument panel. We suggest to stop im-
mediately the car, turn off the engine for
about 20 seconds and then re-start the
car. If the warning light
gstays on (to-
gether with the message on the display),
contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The electrical power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front and
rear (where provided) seat belts, the car
is fitted with pretensioners. These devices,
in the event of violent front crash, rewind
the seat belts a few centimetres. In this
way they ensure that the seat belt adheres
perfectly to the wearer before the re-
straining action begins. The seat belt locks
to indicate that the device has intervened;
the seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
keeping it firmly close to the chest and
pelvis.
Front seat pretensioners activate only if
front seat belts are properly fitted into
buckles. A small amount of smoke may be
produced. This smoke is in no way toxic
and presents no fire hazard.LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, the front
and rear (where provided) seat belt reels
contain a load limiter which allows con-
trolled sag in such a way as to dose the
force acting on the shoulders during the
belt restraining action in case of front
crash.
The pretensioner can only
be used once. After a colli-
sion that has triggered it, have it re-
placed at a Fiat Dealership. Preten-
sioner validity is written on the label
inside the lower oddment compart-
ment. Pretensioners should be re-
placed at Fiat Dealership as this date
approaches.
WARNING
Operations which lead to
knocks, vibrations or localised
heating (over 100°C for a
maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may
cause damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibrations
caused by irregularities of the road sur-
face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.
Contact a Fiat Dealership for any as-
sistance.The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing. Anything that
modifies its original conditions invalidates
its efficiency. If due to unusual natural
events (floods, seas storm, etc.) the device
has been affected by water and mud, it
must necessarily be replaced.

STOPPING THE CAR
To stop the car, simply release the accel-
erator pedal and, if necessary press the
brake pedal.
Regardless of the gear engaged and the op-
erating mode activated (MANUAL or AU-
TO) the system automatically disengages
the clutch and shifts to a lower gear.
Stopping the car the system automatical-
ly engages the first gear (1).PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely nec-
essary to engage first gear (1) or reverse
(R) and also the handbrake if the car is on
a slope.
When turning off the engine with the car
on an uphill slope and a gear engaged, it
is absolutely necessary to wait for the dis-
play showing the gear engaged to go off
before releasing the brake pedal.
If the gearbox is in neutral (N) and want-
ing to engage a parking gear, the system
should be activated and with the foot on
the brake pedal it is necessary to engage
first gear (1) or reverse (R).
TOWING THE CAR
See the instructions contained in para-
graph “Towing the car” in section “In an
emergency”. BUZZER WARNINGS
The buzzer is activated when:
❒reverse gear is engaged (R);
❒clutch overheating occurs when mov-
ing off (in this case it is necessary to
“force” start-up without hesitation or,
if the car is on a slope, release the ac-
celerator and use the brake pedal to
stop the car);
❒an attempt is made to start the engine
with a gear engaged and the brake ped-
al is not pressed completely;
Still for safety reasons, when the car is sta-
tionary, with engine started gear engaged,
the system activates the buzzer and au-
tomatically shifts to neutral (N) when:
❒no action is made on the accelerator
and/or brake pedal for at least 3 min-
utes;
❒the brake is pressed for over 10 min-
utes;
❒the driver’s door is opened and no ac-
tion is made on the accelerator and
brake by at least 2 seconds;
❒a gearbox failure has been detected.

WIPERS
BLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
If the rubber blades are bent or worn they
should be replaced. In any case they
should be changed once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and over-
heating;
❒do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.Changing the windscreen
wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm A-fig.
22and position the blade so that it
forms an angle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tab Bof the coupling spring and
remove the blade to be replaced from
the arm A;
❒fit the new blade by inserting the tab in-
to the special slot in the arm. Make sure
it is properly locked into place.For certain versions, to replace the blades
proceed as follows:
❒raise the windscreen wiper arm and po-
sition the blade so that it forms an an-
gle of 90° with the arm;
❒press tabs A-fig. 23(set aside the
blade) and remove the blade to be re-
placed from the arm;
❒fit the new blade and check it is prop-
erly locked into place.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

MAINTENANCE
To correctly wash the car:
❒ remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the car is washed in
an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet
of water;
❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing with the sponge;
❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with the
less visible parts like door surrounds, bon-
net and around the headlights where wa-
ter may stagnate. The car should not be
taken to a closed area immediately, but left
in the open so that residual water can
evaporate.Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substance many species re-
lease give the paint a dull appearance and
increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens.
Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the
rearscreen should be wiped gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine com-
partment should be carefully washed,
without directing the jet against electron-
ic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT The car should be washed
with the engine cold and the ignition key
at STOP. After washing make sure that
the various protections (e.g. rubber caps
and various covers) have not been dam-
aged or removed. Detergents cause water
pollution. Therefore the car
should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and
purifying the liquid used in the wash-
ing process.
Do not wash the car after it has been left
in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.
