NOTE When replacing the battery, avoid
touching the electronic circuit and the
contacts located near the electronic
key.
IMPORTANT Check that the cover has
been properly hooked.
IMPORTANT Batteries are available at a
Fiat Dealership, and they last about two
years. Make sure there are no ink traces
on the battery: there is a risk of
improper electrical contact.
Irregular operation
If the battery is too low to ensure
operation, you can start the engine
(insert the electronic key in the reader)

1 fig. 47 for about 5 seconds, until you
hear an acoustic signal.
Operating principle
After starting the vehicle, the system
automatically locks the doors as soon
as you are going faster than about
7 km/h.
Unlocking happens when:
you press button 1 fig. 47 to open
the doors;
the vehicle is stopped, and you open
a front door.
NOTE that if a door is opened then
closed, it will be locked again

If you notice a malfunction (the
automatic locking does not work) first of
all check that all the opening door parts
are properly closed. If they are closed
correctly and the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Also make sure the lock system was
not accidentally disabled.
In case it was disabled, re-enable it
after disconnecting and reconnecting
the starter device.
WARNING
3)For safety reasons, make sure all the
doors are well closed before setting out.
4)Never leave the vehicle with the remote
or electronic key inside.
5)For safety reasons, always open/close
doors when the vehicle is stopped.
6)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, let alone leave it with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake or the brake pedal.7)Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the
door carefully until it locks in place. Always
make sure the sliding door is completely
closed before the vehicle starts moving.
8)Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.
9)You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel flap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel flap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side door
to avoid damage.
10)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
12)Always use this device when carrying
children.
13)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
14)When closing, shut the right hand
swing door fully before you close the left
hand swing door. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
15)In case of wind, do not leave the rear
swing doors open. Risk of injury.47T36595

19)When the front seat backrest is folded
down, the front passenger airbag must be
deactivated (refer to the “Passenger side
airbag and child restraint systems – how to
deactivate the airbags” paragraph in the
“Safety” chapter). Risk of serious injury in
case the air bag opens up because of
objects placed on the folded backrest
flying around. The label (on the dashboard)
and the silkscreen and printed markings
(on the windscreen) remind you of these
instructions.
20)For the occupants' safety, fasten
transported items when the seat in in table
position.
21)For safety reasons, carry out these
operations when the vehicle is stopped. In
order not to limit the safety belt's
effectiveness, do not incline the backrests
back too far. There should be no objects
on the driver's side floorboard: in case of
sharp braking, they could slide under the
pedals, hampering their use.
22)When moving a single rear seat, make
sure the relative anchorages are clean
(there must not be any stones, bits of cloth
or other items that could prevent the seat
from locking into place).
23)You absolutely must place the single
rear seats back into their original
anchorages. When driving, you must not
place the "single seats with their backrests
facing backwards.

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.

89)Do not change the originally installed
restraining system components in any way:
belts, seats and related fasteners. In
special cases (e.g.: installing a child seat)
see a Fiat Dealership.
90)Do not use anything that could loosen
the buckles (diaper pins, clips, etc.)
because a loose seat belt can cause injury
in case of an accident.
91)Never pass the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.
92)Never use the same belt for more than
one person, and never fasten your seat
belt across a newborn or child you are
holding in your lap.
93)The seat belt must not be twisted.
94)After an accident, check the seat belts
and if necessary replace them. In addition,
replace the seat belts if they start to show
any sign of wear or deterioration.
95)When refitting the single rear seat,
make sure the safety belts and their tabs
are positioned correctly so they can be
used normally.
96)Check that the seat belt locking device
is correctly inserted into the buckle.
97)Do not insert any object that could
block the belt and compromise its correct
operation.
98)Make sure you have positioned the
locking housing (it should not be covered,
crushed or flattened by people or objects).PRE-TENSIONERS
99)
When the pretensioners intervene, they
make the seat belt adhere to the seat
occupant's body, increasing the
effectiveness of the seat belt.
With starter switch on, in the event of a
violent frontal collision, depending on its
magnitude, the system may trigger the
seat belt winder pretensioner 1 fig. 176
causing it to retract the belt
immediately.
LOAD LIMITERS
Depending on the collision’s degree of
violence, this mechanism activates to
limit the seat belt action against the
body to a supportable level.
WARNING
99)Check the safety devices after every
accident. Any intervention on the complete
system (pre-tensioners, air bags, electronic
modules, wiring) or re-use on another
vehicle, even if identical, is strictly
prohibited. In order to prevent accidental
deployments that could cause damage,
only qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene in pre-tensioners and air bags.
Checking the electrical features of the
actuator can only be effected by
specifically prepared personnel using the
proper tools. When the vehicle is
scrapped, see a Fiat Dealership to remove
the pre-tensioner gas generator and air
bags.

ISOFIX FASTENING
SYSTEM
Authorised child seats are approved
according to the ECE-R44 law in one of
the three following cases:
universal ISOFIX with 3 couplings
facing forward;
semi-universal ISOFIX with
2 couplings;
specific.
For the last two, check that your child
restraint system can be installed by
referring to the list of compatible
vehicles.

ISOFIX anchors, where provided. The
ISOFIX system ensures simple, fast and
safe installation.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.The two rings 1 fig. 195, shown by a
label
, are located between the
backrest and the seat cushion.
To facilitate and lock your child seat to
ring 1, use its access guide 2.
Child seat coupling rings facing
forward for rear side positions: the
3rd ring is used to hook the upper seat
belt found in some child seats.
Place the headrest in the upper
position or remove it;
pass belt 3 fig. 196 (provided with
the seat) between the two rear headrest
rods;

(2)Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install the child seat backwards from driving direction, then move it back to
maximum so it does not come into contact with the child seat.
(3)Child seat facing forward: position the child seat backrest in contact with the seat backrest. In any case, remove the rear
seat headrest that the child seat is positioned against. This should be done before positioning the child restraint system (refer to
the "Rear headrest" paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter). Do not move the seat in front of the child back more
than half the distance and do not incline it more than 25°.
WARNING
120)To prevent opening the door from the
inside, use the safety device (refer to the
"Child safety” paragraph in the “Knowing
your vehicle” chapter).
121)A collision at 50 Km/h is the
equivalent of falling 10 meters. Never hold
a child in your arms or on your knees, in
case of an accident you would never be
able to hold him even if you have your seat
bets fastened.
122)Never leave the vehicle unguarded
with the electronic key and a child, a
handicapped person or an animal inside,
even for a short time. This could result in
your own safety or that of others who
could start the engine, setting in motion
equipment such as the electric windows or
even locking the doors. Moreover, in hot
and/or sunny weather, the vehicle's interior
temperature will increase rapidly. Risk of
death or serious injury.123)Never leave a child alone in the
vehicle. Make sure the child always has
his/her seat belt fastened and correctly
adjusted. Avoid too heavy clothing that
causes the belts to be loose. Never allow
the child to put his/her head or arm out the
window. Make sure the child is seated
correctly throughout the trip. especially
when asleep.
124)Make sure the child seat or his/her
feet do not prevent the front seat from
locking into place correctly. Refer to the
"Front seat" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle” chapter. Make sure that the
child seat installed in the vehicle is not at
risk of coming out of its housing. If you
have to remove the head rest, make sure it
is positioned so it is not thrown about in
case of abrupt braking or collision. Always
fasten the child seat even if you are not
using it so it is not thrown about in case of
abrupt braking or collision.
125)RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY: before installing a rear-facing child
restraint system in the front passenger
seat, check that the air bag has been
correctly deactivated (refer to the
"Passenger side airbag and child restraint
systems" paragraph in this chapter).
126)Install the child seat preferably in one
of the rear seats.127)Never install a child seat on the rear
centre seat. RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
128)Do not use child seats that could
unlock the belt holding it in place: the child
seat base must not rest on the seat belt
buckle and/or housing.
129)The seat belt must never be loose or
twisted. Never pass the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your back.
Check that the belt has not been damaged
by sharp edges. If the seat belt is not
working normally, it will not protect the
child. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
use this seat until the belt has been
repaired.
130)Using a child seat inappropriate for
this vehicle will not properly protect the
child. You risk causing him/her serious
injury or death.
