DIESEL VERSION
PARTICULARITIES
17)
Engine speed
Diesel engines are equipped with an
injection system that does not let the
engine exceed a certain number of
revs, no matter what gear is engaged.
If you see the message "Anti-pollution
control" with the warning light
and
the alarm light, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
While driving, depending on the fuel
type used, in exceptional cases the
vehicle might emit white smoke.
This is due to the automatic
regeneration of the anti-particulate filter
and has no consequences on the
vehicle's performance.
Complete lack of fuel
When refuelling after completely using
up all fuel, you need to restore the fuel
circuit: refer to the "Refuelling the
vehicle" paragraph before restarting the
engine.Winter precautions
To prevent any ice-related
inconvenience:
make sure that the battery is always
charged,
make sure not to leave too little
diesel in the tank, so it doesn't form
water vapour condensation that
accumulates on the bottom of the tank.
IMPORTANT
17)Modifications or repairs to the supply
system that are not carried out correctly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

CONTROL PANEL
AND ON-BOARD
INSTRUMENTS
On-board computer 1 fig. 167
Depending on the vehicle version, it
includes the following functions:
distance travelled;
travel parameters;
information messages;
malfunction messages (together with
warning lights
);
alarm messages (together with the
STOPwarning light).
Selection buttons for displaying
Scroll up (button 9) or down (button 10)
for the following information, pressing a
few times briefly (the display will depend
on the vehicle's equipment and country
of sale) fig. 168.You can view the following information
on the display screen:
overall and partial odometer for the
distance travelled;
fuel consumed;
average fuel consumption;
instantaneous consumption;
foreseeable autonomy;
distance travelled;
average speed;
service limit, oil change counter;
tyre pressure re-initialisation;
speed set on the Cruise Control /
Speed Limiter;
time and temperature;
on-board log, information message
scrolling and operational malfunction;
percentage volume of remaining
additives.Resetting the trip odometer
When the "overall and partial milometer"
display is selected, press either button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the milometer is
reset to zero.
Resetting travel parameters
When one of the trip parameters is
selected on the display, press button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the display is reset.
Interpreting some of the displayed
values after resetting
The further you travel after the last
reset, the more accurate and significant
the average fuel consumption,
autonomy and average speed become.
During the first kilometers travelled after
resetting, you will notice that the
autonomy increases as you travel. This
is because the system takes the
average fuel consumption since the last
reset into account. The average fuel
consumption can decrease when:
the vehicle is no longer accelerating;
the engine reaches operating
temperature (reset: cold engine);
going from urban to extra-urban
driving.
Automatic travel parameter reset
Reset is automatic when one of the
parameter's capacities is exceeded.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Selection examples
Meaning of the data selected
On-board computer with service limit message
Depending on how old the vehicle is, the oil change limit will adapt to driving style (frequently at low speeds, door-to-door, the least prolonged
driving, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance that remains until the next oil change can, in certain cases, thus be reduced more rapidly than the
distance actually covered.
Re-initialisation:to re-initialise the system, view the “Maintenance schedule” (distance and time), press button 9 or 10 fig. 168
for about
10 seconds without interruption until the oil change time appears fixed.
ON-BOARD: information messages
These can help vehicle ignition, provide information on a selection or on driving conditions.
ON-BOARD COMPUTER: malfunction messages
They appear along with the warning light
.When these messages appear, drive carefully to the Fiat
Dealership. Failure to follow this instruction could damage the vehicle.
They are deleted when you press the viewing selection button, or automatically after a few seconds. However, they are stored
in the on-board log. The warning light
stays on.
ON-BOARD COMPUTER: alarm messages
They appear along with the STOP warning light to make you stop as soon as traffic conditions allow, for your own
safety. Stop the engine and do not turn it back on. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
84) 85)
19) 20)
3)
Depending on the trim, there could be:load limiters;
driver and front passenger airbags;
These systems are designed to function
separately or at the same time in case
of a frontal collision.
Depending on the violence of the
collision, the system activates:
seat belt locking.
seat belt pre-tensioner (which
activates the belt tension);
the airbags.
WARNING
84)Check the safety devices after every
accident.
85)Any intervention on the complete
system (pre-tensioners, airbags, electronic
modules, wiring) or re-use on another
vehicle, even if identical, is strictly
prohibited.
IMPORTANT
19)In order to prevent accidental
deployments that could cause damage,
only qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene in pre-tensioners and air bags.
20)Checking the electrical features of the
actuator can only be effected by specifically
prepared personnel using the proper tools.
IMPORTANT
3)When the vehicle is scrapped, see a Fiat
Dealership to remove the pre-tensioner gas
generator and air bags.
SEAT BELTS
86)
For obvious safety reasons, always
fasten the seat belts. In addition, always
comply with the laws of the country you
are in.
IMPORTANT For full effectiveness of the
rear seat belts, make sure that the
single rear seat is correctly locked in
place. Refer to the "Rear single seats”
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle”
chapter.
Before starting the engine, first adjust
the driving position and adjust the seat
belts to obtain the best possible
protection (for all the passengers).
The safety belts must always be kept
clean. Use products selected by Fiat
Dealership services or soap and warm
water, rubbing with a sponge and
drying with a dry cloth. Do not use
detergents or chemical products.
ADJUSTING THE DRIVER'S
POSITION
Sit with your back against the
backrest (after taking off clothing like
coat, jacket, etc.). This is an essential
factor for correctly positioning the back;
adjust the seat position according to
the pedals. The seat position must be
so as to allow pressing the clutch pedal
all the way. The backrest must be
inclined so arms are slightly bent;
93

The safety devices complementary to
the front passenger seat belt have to be
activated.
Functioning defects
If the activation/deactivation system for
the front passenger air bags is not
functioning, you cannot install the child
restraint on the front seat with the head
facing rear. We advise you also not totravel with passengers seated there.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
100)The air bag system uses a
pyrotechnical principle, meaning that its
activation produces heat, emits smoke
(that does not mean fire) and generates an
explosive sound. Air bag deployment,
which should be immediate, can cause
skin injuries or other problems.
101)Do not attach any object (pins, logos,
watches, phone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel.
102)The steering wheel must not be
covered in any way.
103)Dismantling the steering wheel is
prohibited (except by a qualified Fiat
Dealership technician).
104)Do not drive to close to the steering
wheel: adopt a driving position with your
arms slightly bent. This position will ensure
a sufficient distance for the air bag to
deploy efficiently.
105)Do not glue anything (pins, logos,
watches, phone supports, etc.) to the
dashboard near the airbag.
106)Do not place anything (animals,
umbrella, cane, boxes, etc.) between the
dashboard and the passenger.
107)Do not rest your feet on the
dashboard or the seat: these positions
could cause serious injuries. In general,
keep all parts of the body (knees, hands,
head, etc.) away from the dashboard.108)The passenger air bag only protects
the side front seat passenger; the centre
front seat passenger is only protected by
the seat belt. We recommend you respect
normal safety regulations (fasten your seat
belt). There may be serious injuries in the
event of an accident.
109)The passenger airbag must be
activated/deactivated when the vehicle is
stationary. If deactivated while driving, the
andwarning lights turn on. To turn
these lights off, you need to deactivate
then reactivate the passenger air bag again
when the vehicle is stopped.
110)When the child restraint is no longer in
use, reactivate the front seat belt
complementary safety devices to ensure
front passenger protection in case of an
accident. Installing a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger is
prohibited until the front seat belt
complementary safety devices have been
deactivated (refer to the "Passenger side
airbag and child restraint systems – how to
deactivate the airbags" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
111)Because of the incompatibility of the
front passenger air bag deployment and
the positioning of a child seat facing
forward, NEVER INSTALL a child restraint
system facing backwards on a seat
equipped with FRONT AIRBAG
ACTIVATION. It could result in a CHILD'S
DEATH or could SERIOUSLY INJURE
him/her.
