phone FIAT TALENTO 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS / ALTERATIONS
WARNING
Any modification or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which
the occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose
personnel will check whether the vehicle's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the
ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing
obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the following label:.
Fiat authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised centre, in a workmanlike
fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that involve modifications to the
features of the vehicle. This may also cause lapse of the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change or either directly or
indirectly related to it.
Fiat shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Fiat and/or
not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio, etc.) cannot be used inside the car unless a
separate aerial is mounted on the roof of the vehicle.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile
phone Manufacturer.
IMPORTANT The use of such devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may, in addition to
potential damage to the health of the passengers, cause malfunctions in the vehicle’s electronic systems, compromising the
safety of the vehicle.

Autonomy
Make sure your batteries are in good
condition, they are the type required
and inserted correctly. The battery has
a two-year life span: replace it when
you see the apposite message on the
instrument panel (see following pages).
The electronic key's scope
This varies according to the
surroundings; therefore be careful to
handle the remote control that could
cause it to lock or unlock the doors
accidentally because of involuntary
pressure on the buttons.
Integrated key
The integrated key 5 fig. 15 serves to
lock or unlock the front left door and,
depending on the vehicle, the rear door
when the electronic key cannot

the engine.
IMPORTANT Do not put the key near a
source of heat, cold, or humidity. Do
not place the electronic key where it
could be accidentally folded or ruined
(for example, when you put the key in
your trousers back pocket then sit on
it).IMPORTANT Please see a Fiat
Dealership to replace the electronic key,
or if you need a supplementary one in
case of loss. If you replace an electronic
key, you will have to bring the vehicle
and all the electronic keys to a Fiat
Dealership to be re-initialised. Every
vehicle can be assigned up to four
electronic keys.
Keyless ENTRY
This lets you lock/unlock without
needing to use the electronic key, if you
are in the access area 1 fig. 16.
Locking/unlocking the vehicle
There are two ways to lock/unlock the
vehicle: being physically in the access
area or by using the electronic key.
IMPORTANT Do not place the
electronic key where it could come into
contact with other electronic equipment
(computer, phone, etc.) that could
compromise its operation.

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 to
travel 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.

SAFETY

RemarksIf the vehicle does not start, a
dedicated message appears on the
instrument panel;
In some cases, you will need to
move the steering wheel while pressing
the ignition button 1 to unlock the
steering wheel column; You will be
warned with message to this effect;
When starting the engine in very cold
weather (less than -10°C): keep the
clutch pressed until the engine starts.
Accessory function
When the engine starts, you can
access a few functions (radio,
navigation system, windscreen wipers,
etc.).
To make the other functions available,
with the key in the passenger
compartment or inserted in the key
reader 2 fig. 205, press button
1 without pressing on the pedals.
Irregular operation
The electronic key with easy access will
not function in the following instances:
The electronic key might have dead
batteries
In the vicinity of a device functioning
on the same frequency (screen cell
phone, video games, etc.);
The vehicle is located in an area
known for a high presence of
electro-magnetic waves.A message to this effect appears in the
instrument panel.
Insert the electronic key in the reader 2
fig. 205 as far as it will go.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
142) 143)
23) 24)
Vehicles with an electronic key
The vehicle needs to be stopped.
With the electronic key in the reader 2
fig. 205 or in the detection area 3
fig. 206, press button 1 fig. 205: the
engine turns off. The steering wheel
lock locks when the driver's door opens
or when the vehicle is locked.
If the key is not in the passenger
compartment when you try to turn the
engine off, a dedicated message
appears on the instrument panel: press
button 1 fig. 205 for more than
2 seconds.
After turning the engine off, a few
accessories still on (radio, etc.) continue
functioning for about 10 minutes.
When you open the driver's door, the
accessories turn off.
WARNING
138)Do not start the vehicle on an incline
with the gear in neutral. The power steering
might not activate. Risk of accident.139)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
140)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
141)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
142)Do not remove the key from the
starter device or the electronic key from the
reader before effectively stopping the
vehicle; stopping the engine means
deleting various aids: When the engine is
stopped, the power brakes, power steering
and safety devices like the air bags and
pre-tensioners no longer work.
143)Especially when you leave the car
with the electronic key in your pocket,
make sure the engine is effectively
stopped.
IMPORTANT
23)When the engine is stopped, never
leave the ignition device in the "M" position
to prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
24)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
