SYSTEM ACTIVATION
Turning the ignition key to MAR, after
about one second, the display shows the
gear engaged (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R): from this
moment onwards, the Selespeed system
accepts gearshift commands.
IMPORTANT If after 10 seconds the dis-
play does not show the gear engaged, turn
the ignition key to STOP, and wait for the
display to turn off, then repeat system
switch on. If the fault persists, contact Fi-
at Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the driver’s door is
opened the system starts the hydraulic
part of the system to prepare it for when
the engine is started. MOVING-OFF
With the engine on and the car stationary,
the gears that can be engaged for moving
off are only first (1), second (2) and/or re-
verse (R).
To engage them it is possible, keeping the
brake pedal pressed, to use only the
gearshift lever on the central console.
Moving off of the car is obtained releas-
ing the brake pedal and gradually press-
ing the accelerator pedal.
With the ASR system off (pressing the
ASR off button) moving off will be more
“brilliant”.
IMPORTANT Reverse gear (R) can be en-
gaged from any of the following other
gears: neutral (N), first (1) or second (2)
only when the car is stationary.IMPORTANT If when shifting from re-
verse (R) / first (1) or neutral (N) / first (1)
sticking occurs on the first gear, the sys-
tem automatically engages second gear (2).
This is not to be considered as a fault as
it is part of the operating logic. For the
same reason, in the case of sticking on re-
verse gear, the system partially closes the
clutch to allow gear engagement; in this
case the engagement of reverse gear (R)
will not be as smooth as usual.
After a request to shift gear
with the car stationary, be-
fore pressing the accelerator pedal to
make the car move, the driver must
always check the display to see that
the gear engaged is the one required.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
with speed. Avoid superfluous braking and
accelerating, which cost in terms of both
fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do
not allow the engine to reach optimum
operating temperature. This results in a
significant increase in consumption levels
(from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle)
and emission of harmful substances.
Traffic situations and road
conditions
Rather high consumption levels are tied to
situations with heavy traffic, for example
in queues with frequent use of the lower
gears or in cities with many traffic lights.
Also winding mountain roads and rough
road surfaces adversely affect consump-
tion.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (traffic lights,
level crossings) the engine should be
switched off. DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at
a standstill or at idle or high speed: under
these conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly, increasing electrical
consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slow-
ly, avoiding high speeds. This way the en-
gine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern cars and al-
so increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.

SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided with the car.
Fiat Dealership will be glad to provide ad-
vice concerning the most suitable type of
tyre for the customer’s requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation
pressures and the specifications of snow
tyres, follow the instructions given in para-
graph “Wheels” in section “Technical
specifications”.
The winter features of these tyres are re-
duced considerably when the tread depth
is below 4 mm. In this case, they should
be replaced.Due to the snow tyre features, under nor-
mal conditions of use or on long motor-
way journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It
is therefore necessary to limit their use to
the purposes for which they are certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used
with a max speed index below the one
that can be reached by the car (increased
by 5%), place a notice in the passenger
compartment, plainly in the driver’s view
which states the max permissible speed of
the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety when
driving and braking and better driveabili-
ty.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of tyres.The max speed for snow
tyres with “Q” marking is
160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T”
marking and 210 km/h for tyres with
H marking. The Road Traffic Code
speed limits must however be always
strictly observed.

WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES
GENERAL WARNINGS
Turning on of warning light is accompa-
nied by specific message and/or by buzzer
sound where provided by instrument pan-
el. These indications are concise and
cautionaryand shall not be considered
as exhaustive and/or as an alternative to
the specifications contained in this Own-
er Handbook which shall always be read
through carefully and thoroughly. In case
of failure indication always refer to the
specifications contained in this sec-
tion.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed
are divided into two categories: very se-
riousand less seriousfailures.
Very seriousfailures are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning “cycle”.
Less seriousfailures are indicated by a
limited warning “cycle”.
The warning cycle of both failure classes
can be stopped by pressing button
MODE. The instrument panel warning
light will stay on until eliminating the fault.Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is on.
If the car is moving, a buzzer will also
sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on
when travelling, check that the handbrake
is not engaged. LOW BRAKE
FLUID LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level, due to possi-
ble leak in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.BRAKE PAD
WEAR (red)
The warning light turns on when the
front brake pads are worn; in this case
have them changed as soon as possible.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
IMPORTANT Since the car is fitted with
wear sensors for the front brake pads,
when changing them, check also the rear
brake pads.
x
If the warning light xturns
on when travelling (together
with the message on the display) stop
the car immediately and contact Fiat
Dealership.
