ADBLUE ADDITIVE
RESERVOIR
Make sure that you comply with the
laws of the country you're in.
You need to remember that if the owner
of the vehicle does not comply with the
laws in effect, there could be legal
consequences.
Operating principle
Using additives reduces exhaust
emissions, transforming polluting gases
into water vapour and nitrogen.
Filling
Usable tank capacity: Approx. 20 litres
Open the left front door to access the
flap A. Unscrew the cap 1.
43)
9) 10) 11)
IMPORTANT In vehicles equipped with
the Start&Stop function, fill with additive
when the engine is stopped. Always
stop the engine (refer to the information
about starting and stopping the engine).
Quality of the additive
Only use additives that comply with the
ISO 22241 standard and in compliance
with the label on the fuel tank flap.
Average fuel consumption
About 2 l/1000 km depending on the
vehicle version and driving style.
Operating precautions
Always read the information on the
additive package.
Handle additives carefully. They can
damage clothing, shoes, chassis
components, etc.
If the additive overflows or
contaminates any painted surface,
quickly clean the area with a damp
cloth.
In extremely cold climates
The vehicle has a heating system for
the additive that allows driving in
extremely cold conditions.
Precautions while refilling the tank
The additive congeals at temperatures
lower than about -10°C. In that case,
do not attempt to refill. However, we
advise you to top up the additive or
have a qualified professional do it when
the warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on.
44)
WARNING
43)The tank cap is specific. If you need to
replace it, make sure it is the same as the
original. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
wash the filling area with a high pressure
cleaning machine.
44)The additive must not come into
contact witheyes or skin. If that happens,
rinse thoroughly with water. If necessary,
see a doctor.
IMPORTANT
9)No kind of intervention is authorised on
any part of the system. To avoid possible
damage, only Fiat Dealership qualified
personnel is authorised to intervene on the
system.
10)When the appropriate message
appears, fill the additive tank (minimum
10 litres) and see the refilling instructions.
Danger that the vehicle will be immobilised.
11)After filling the additive tank, check that
the cap and flap are closed, start the
engine and WAIT 10 seconds with the
vehicle not moving and engine started
before starting off again. If you do not do
this, the tank filling will be automatically
detected only after a few minutes' driving.
The message to that effect and/or warning
lights will still appear until the filling has not
been detected by the system.

CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recycling on, ventilation speed nil or
insignificant, etc.), the vehicle windows
and windscreen can mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Maintenance
Please see the Scheduled Service Plan.
IMPORTANT Air conditioning function
means greater fuel consumption (turn
off the system when you no longer
need it).
50) 51)
2)
Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use. Some advice for
reducing fuel consumption to a
minimum and helping safeguard the
environment:
deactivate the system when it is not
needed;
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in high
temperatures or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before leaving.

ADDITIONAL CLIMATE
CONTROL
(For versions/markets where provided)
If equipped with them, the vehicle has
four diffusers that can be aimed, 1
fig. 96.
These controls only act on the amount
of air in the passenger compartment:
one control for heat (air coming out
of the lower diffusers);
one control for cold (air coming out
of the upper diffusers);
NOTE Do not close all four diffusers at
the same time (you risk damaging the
system components).Climate control system
Make sure the air conditioning is
working (button 2 fig. 97 led on).

perfumed items to remove unpleasant
odours, etc.) There is a risk of damaging or
fire.
51)Do not open the cooling liquid circuit. It
is dangerous to eyes and skin.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf (indicated on a specific plate in
the engine compartment). The use of other
coolants affects the efficiency and condition
of the system. Also the compressor

RADAR PARKING
52)
12) 13) 14)
Operating principle
The ultrasound sensors installed in the
rear bumpers (depending on the vehicle
version) "measure" the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle.
If they detect an obstacle, the sensors
set off an acoustic warning, which
frequency increases when getting
closer to the obstacle, until it becomes
a single sound when the obstacle is
about 30 centimetres from the vehicle.
NOTE Make sure you check that the
ultrasound sensors are not covered
(with dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
NOTE Depending on the versions, the
display lets you see the vehicle's
surrounding area to complement the
acoustic warning signal.Operation
When you put the gear in reverse, most
of the objects located less that
1.20 meters from the rear of the vehicle
are detected, an acoustic warning
signal goes off and, depending on the
type of vehicle, display 1 fig. 99 lights
up.
Adjusting the assisted parking
acoustic volume
Depending on the vehicle type, you can
adjust a few parameters on the
multi-media display screen.
Temporary system deactivation

the system.The warning light in the switch lights up
to remind you the system is
deactivated.
Press it again and the system will be
reactivated and the light will go off.
Depending on the vehicle type, you can
deactivate the function from the
multi-media display screen.
Forced system deactivation
You can deactivate the system
definitively by pressing button 2 for a
long time.
The integrated warning light in the

Irregular operation
Depending on the versions, when the
system detects irregular operation, an
appropriate message will appear on the
instrument panel along with the alarm
warning light
and an acoustic
signal going off every 5 seconds.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
52)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to take. The parking sensors are
an aid for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
IMPORTANT
12)If the vehicle collides with something
when in reverse (for example against a
stake, a curbstone or any other street
furniture) you could damage the vehicle (for
example, bend an axle). To prevent any risk
of accident, have the vehicle checked at a
Fiat Dealership.13)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
14)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Fiat
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the Radar parking operation.
REAR CAMERA
Operation

When in reverse, video camera 1
fig. 101 located on the tailgate or on the
rear swing door, depending on the
vehicle, lets you view the area behind
the vehicle on the inside rear view
mirror 2 fig. 102 or on the multi-media
display panel 3 fig. 103, along with one
or two shapes 4 fig. 104 and 5 fig. 104
(moving and stationary).
NOTE Check that the rear view video
camera is not covered up (dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE Depending on the versions,
adjust a few of the parameters on the
multi-media display panel 3 fig. 103.
Moving shape 4 (depending on the
vehicle): is represented in blue on the
multi-media display panel 3fig. 103.It
indicates the vehicle's trajectory
according to the steering wheel
position.Stationary shape 5: the stationary
shape consists of coloured references
A, B and C fig. 104 that indicate the
distance behind the vehicle:
A (red) about 30 centimetres from the
vehicle;
B (yellow) about 70 centimetres from
the vehicle;
C (green) about 150 centimetres
from the vehicle.
This shape remains stationary and
indicates the vehicle's trajectory if the
wheels are aligned.
This system is initially used by making
use of one or more shapes (moving for
the trajectory, stationary for the
distance). When you get to the red
zone, use the bumper representation to
stop accurately.IMPORTANT The display will show a
reversed image. The shapes are a
projected representation on flat ground;
this information has to be ignored when
you superimpose it on a vertical object
or one resting on the ground. The items
that appear on the edge of the screen
can be distorted. If the light is too bright
(snow, vehicle is in sunshine) the video
camera's vision can be disrupted.
When the rear doors are open or not
closed properly, the dedicated message
appears and, depending on the vehicle,
the video camera image disappears.
WARNING
53)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
