FRONT FOG LIGHT
ADJUSTMENT
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT BEAM
ADJUSTMENT ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the
car is marketed. In countries with oppo-
site circulation, to avoid glaring oncom-
ing vehicles, it is necessary to cover the
areas of the headlight using a special stick-
er tape provided for the purpose and avail-
able at Lineaccessori Fiat. Contact Fiat
Dealership.ABS SYSTEM
The car is fitted with ABS braking system,
which prevents the wheels from locking
when braking, makes the most of road grip
and gives the best control when emer-
gency braking under difficult road condi-
tions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking Force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To have the maximum ef-
ficiency of the braking system, it is neces-
sary a setting period of about 500 km: dur-
ing this period, it is better to avoid sharp,
repeated and prolonged brakes.ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
When the ABS cuts in, you will feel the
brake pedal pulsating slightly and the sys-
tem get noisier: it means that the speed
should be altered to fit the type of road
surface.
If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign that
the grip between tyre and the road sur-
face has reached the limit: you must slow
down to match the speed to the road grip
available.
If the ABS system cuts in it
is a sign that the grip be-
tween the tyre and the road surface
has reached the limit you must slow
down to match the speed to the road
grip available.

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a per-
manent electric supply (alarm, satellite an-
titheft system, etc.) or accessories that in
any case burden the electric supply, con-
tact Fiat Dealership, whose qualified per-
sonnel, besides suggesting the most suit-
able devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fi-
at, will also evaluate the overall electric ab-
sorption, checking whether the car’s elec-
tric system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be inte-
grated with a more powerful battery.
INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after
buying the car or in aftermarket shall bear
the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation
of transceivers provided that installation
is carried out at a specialized shop, work-
manlike performed and in compliance with
manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Installation of devices re-
sulting in modifications of car characteris-
tics may cause driving license seizing by
traffic agents and also the lapse of the war-
ranty as concerns defects due to the
abovementioned modification or traceable
back to it directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility
for damages caused by the installation of
non-genuine accessories or not recom-
mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed
not in compliance with the specified re-
quirements.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Mobile phones and other radio transceiv-
er equipment (e.g.: HAM radio systems
and the like) shall not be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted.
IMPORTANT The use of mobile phones,
HAM radio systems or other similar de-
vices inside the passenger compartment
(without separate aerial) may cause elec-
tronic systems equipping the car to mal-
function. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns the use of mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS) with homolo-
gation, keep strictly to the mobile phone
manufacturer's specifications.
Take care when fitting addi-
tional spoilers, alloy rims and
non-standard wheel caps: they might
reduce ventilation of the brakes, thus
their efficiency, during abrupt and re-
peated braking, or long downhill
slopes. Make sure that nothing (mats,
etc.) gets in the way of the pedals
when they are pushed down.

If several obstacles are detected, the con-

FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of sensor failures, when en-
gaging the reverse gear the driver is
warned by the turning on of warning light
èon the instrument panel and by the rel-
evant message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles set above or under the sen-
sors.
❒Objects set close to the car front or
rear part, under certain circumstances
are not detected and could therefore
cause damages to the car.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car. For proper operation, the
parking sensors set on the
bumpers shall be clean from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. When
cleaning the sensors, take the utmost
care to prevent their damaging; do not
use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sen-
sors shall be washed with clean water
and car detergent, if required. In wash-
ing stations, clean sensors quickly keep-
ing the vapour jet/high pressure wash-
ing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the
sensors.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.

When the car is parked on a steep slope
the reel mechanism may block; this is nor-
mal. The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked or
if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or
when cornering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel for
the side and centre seats.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the
tongue A-fig. 1and insert it into the buck-
le B, until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a
short stretch, then pull it out again with-
out jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wear-
ing it, allowing freedom of movement.
Never press button C-fig. 1
when travelling.
WARNING
Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in
