ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any ab-
normal car raising/sloping, even partial
(e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest car
sideslip angle changes, both longitudinally
and transversally.
Sideslip angle changes lower than 0.5°/min.
(e.g.: slow tyre flattening) are not consid-
ered.
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the car with
alarm on) press button A-fig. 16 on the
front ceiling light. Sensor cut-out stays on
until activating the central door opening
again.INDICATIONS OF ATTEMPTS
TO BREAK IN
Any attempt to break in is indicated by
warning light
Yon the instrument pan-
el with the relevant message on the dis-
play (see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
HOW TO CUT OFF THE ALARM
SYSTEM
To deactivate the alarm system com-
pletely (for instance during prolonged in-
activity of the car) simply lock the car
turning the metal insert of the key with re-
mote control in the lock.
IMPORTANT To cut-out the electronic
alarm if remote control batteries are
down or the system is failing, fit the key
into the ignition switch and turn it to
MAR.

This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.Activation
With the ignition key at STOPor re-
moved, pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel and operate it within 2 minutes
from when the engine is turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 2.5 minutes,
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally.

“Smart washing” function fig. 52
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled, with just one
movement it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second.
The wiper stops working a few strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning
stroke”, after a few seconds, completes
the wiping operation.RAIN SENSOR (where provided)
The rain sensor A-fig. 53is behind the
driving mirror in contact with the wind-
screen and has the purpose of automati-
cally adjust, during the intermittent oper-
ation, the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes as to the rain intensity.
The sensor has a range of adjustment that
gradually varies between wiper stationary
(no wiping) when the windscreen is dry,
to wiper at first continuous speed (con-
tinuous slow) with heavy rain.Activation
Move the right-hand stalk downwards by
one position.
The activation of the rain sensor is sig-
nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.
IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in the
sensor area.
Turning the knurled ring F-fig. 51it is
possible to increase the sensitivity of the
rain sensor, obtaining a quicker change
from stationary (no wiping) when the
windscreen is dry, to first continuous
speed (continuous slow).
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition “stroke”.
Operating the windscreen washer with
the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.
IMPORTANT When turning on gas dis-
charge headlight lamps (where provided),
it is normal that there should be a vertical
movement of lenses, and consequently the
same will also happen to the light beam,
for the time required to achieve the cor-
rect headlight trim stabilisation, equal to
approx. 2 seconds.HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device can be operated with the ig-
nition key at MARand dipped beams on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes back-
wards. This means that the headlight beam
rises. In this case, it is necessary to return
it to the correct position.
To adjust the headlight slant
Press button A-fig. 122located on the
mask aside the steering wheel column; if
the car is fitted with gas discharge head-
lights (xenon), slant adjustment is elec-
tronic and therefore button Ais not pre-
sent.Press button Aat arrow
Nthis will in-
crease by one position, press the arrow
Oon the button, this will lower by one
position.
The display B-fig. 122located on the in-
strument panel, provides the visual indi-
cation of the positions during the adjust-
ment operation.
Correct positions as a function
of the load
Position 0- one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1- five passengers.
Position 2- five passengers + load in the
boot.
Position 3- driver + maximum admitted
load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.

ESP SYSTEM (Electronic
Stability Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road
surfaces changes.
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.
ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically activat-
ed when the car is started and cannot be
de-activated.FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected and the warn-
ing light
áwill turn on glowing steadily on
the instrument panel, together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
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 an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
ESP SYSTEM INITIALISATION
(after disconnecting the battery)
After reconnecting the battery, to restore
regular operation of the ESP system, pro-
ceed as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise (to
pass through position “straight
wheels”);
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
back to MAR.
A few seconds later the warning light will
turn off; if it stays on contact Fiat Dealer-
ship.
These operations can also be performed
with the engine on.
During the use of the space-
saver spare wheel, the ESP
system carries on working. However,
you must remind that the space-saver
spare wheel has dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore
its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the
ESP system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.

ASR SYSTEM
(Antislip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESP system, it
controls car drive and cuts in automati-
cally every time one or both driving
wheels slip.
According to slipping conditions, two dif-
ferent control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both the driving
wheels, the ASR function intervenes re-
ducing 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 is particularly help-
ful 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).Switching on/off of the ASR system
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching on/off is indicated by the rele-
vant message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
When travelling ASR can be switched off
and on again pressing switch A-fig. 123
on the central console.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
switch and by the relevant message on the
display (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
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 al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.

USING THE
“SELESPEED” GEARBOX
(where provided)
The car may be fitted with a mechanical
transmission with electronic control called
“Selespeed”. This device includes a con-
ventional mechanical gearbox to which an
electronically-operated electro-hydraulic
device has been added which controls au-
tomatically the clutch and gear engage-
ment.
The car moves off using only the acceler-
ator pedal.
To be able to use the Selespeed correct-
ly, this chapter should be read in full. OPERATION
The gearbox can work in two operating
modes:
❒the first mode is manual (MANUAL),
the driver directly requests gearshift-
ing;
❒the second mode is automatic (AUTO),
the system directly decides when shift-
ing gear.
On versions fitted with Cruise Control,
when activating it, the Selespeed gearbox
will automatically set in AUTO mode. To
select the manual mode deactivate the
Cruise Control (see paragraph “Cruise
Control” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).Manual mode (MANUAL)
In MANUAL mode, the display shows the
gear engaged.
The requests to change gear may take
place through:❒the gear lever A-fig. 5on the central
console;
❒the steering wheel controls fig. 6,
which can be operated only when the
car speed exceeds 5 km/h.
It is not necessary to release the acceler-
ator pedal when shifting gears.
Neutral (N) is accepted until the car speed
exceeds 40 km/h. The reverse gear en-
gagement (R) is accepted only if the car
is stationary.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CARIMPORTANT Before using the gearshift
control lever, always check the gear en-
gaged on the display (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, R).
With the engine off and the car stationary
it is possible to engage all the gears.
With the car stopped and the brake ped-
al pressed, requests to change gear are ac-
cepted only through the control lever on
the centre console.
From any gear (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and with
the car practically stationary, it is possi-
ble to request the engagement of reverse
gear pushing the lever to the right and
then backwards fig. 10. If the car is mov-
ing, the request is not accepted. Wait for
the car to stop and then request gear en-
gagement again.IMPORTANT Once a gear has been
changed it is necessary to immediately re-
lease the gearshift control lever after mak-
ing the request. A manoeuvre prolonged
(over 10 seconds) will cause the system
to switch automatically to AUTO; every-
thing stops releasing the gearshift lever.
IMPORTANT When parking the car on
a sloping road and engaging a gear to keep
it braked, always check that the display
shows the new gear engaged and wait for
one or two seconds before releasing the
brake pedal to allow complete engage-
ment of the clutch.Through steering wheel controls
They are placed on the steering wheel
spokes fig. 11through which, only with
the car on the move (with speed above 5
Km/h), it is possible to shift gear up or
down.
If during operation in the automatic mode
(AUTO) a request to change gear is made,
this is performed without switching the
operating mode.
To allow setting to neutral (N), (with the
car stationary and brake pedal pressed),
move the gearshift lever to the right

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.
