warning FIAT TALENTO 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

NOTE Depending on the versions,
adjust a few of the parameters on the
multi-media display panel 3 fig. 106.
Moving shape 4 (depending on the
vehicle): is represented in blue on the
multi-media display panel 3fig. 106.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. 107 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 outlines are a
representation projected onto a flat
surface. Do not consider this
information if it is superimposed onto a
vertical object or an object 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
58)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.

NOTE If the window encounters any
resistance during closing (for example a
tree branch, etc.) it stops and lowers a
few centimetres again.
Irregular operation
If the window closing fails to function,
the system moves to no pressure
mode: pull the concerned switch up as
much as needed until the window
closes completely (the window goes
back up gradually); then keep the
switch pulled up (always on the closing
side) for a second, then lower it and
raise it back up completely to reinstate
the system.
If necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Rear sliding windows:
61)
Use the handle 4 fig. 111 and run the
window to the desired stop.
WARNING
59)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
60)When you close the windows, check
that no part of a body (arm, hand, etc.) is
sticking out from the vehicle. Danger of
serious injury.
61)Before manoeuvring it, make sure no

WARNING
80)The Cruise Control does not impact the
braking system in any case.
81)It provides a supplementary driving aid.
However, it does not replace the driver. It
cannot take the place of local speed limit
observations, attentiveness (always be
ready to brake) or driver responsibility. The
Cruise Control must not be used when
traffic is heavy, on winding or slippery
roads (ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or when
weather conditions are unfavourable (fog,
rain, wind gusts, etc.). Risk of accident.82)Warning: keep your feet near the
pedals so they are ready to intervene in an
emergency.
83)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
84)Putting the engine in stand-by or
deactivating the Cruise Control does not
rapidly lower the speed: you need to brake
using the brake pedal.
85)In case of a malfunction or failure of the
device, contact a Fiat Dealership.
86)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or
slippery roads.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

While exceeding the set speed, the set
speed flashes on the instrument panel,
along with an acoustic signal.
Afterwards, release the accelerator: the
cruise control function will reactivate
when you reduce the speed to lower
than the stored one.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot maintain the set speed:
the stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel along with an
intermittent acoustic warning.
Impossible to maintain the set
speed limit
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot maintain the speed: the
stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel along with an
intermittent acoustic warning.
Placing the function in stand-byThe speed limiter can be disabled using
the switch 5 (O) fig. 160. In this case,
the speed limit is stored and is viewed
on the display in a dedicated message
together with the stored speed.
Recalling the stored speed limit
If speed data is stored, you can recall it
by pressing button 4 (R) fig. 160.
When the cruise control function is in
stand-by, pressing switch 2 fig. 160 will
reactivate the regulator function without
taking into account the stored speed:
the speed the vehicle is travelling will be
used.
Interrupting the function
The cruise control function can be
deactivated; in this case, the speed is
no longer stored. The orange warning
light
on the instrument panel turns
off to confirm that the speed limiter has
been turned off.
WARNING
87)The Speed Limiter does not impact the
braking system in any case.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Temperature of the exhaust gases
The system controlling the exhaust lets
you identify the malfunctions of the
vehicle's anti-pollution device. These
faults can cause an excess in polluting
emissions and cause mechanical
damage.
This warning light on the instrument
panel indicates any system function
failure:
If it stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible;
If it flashes, you need to reduce the
engine running until the flashing stops.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information in the "AdBblue
(Urea) additive tank" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle" chapter.
Ambient
The vehicle was designed with
environmental friendliness in mind for its
entire life cycle: from manufacture to
use up to the end of its life cycle.
160T36544
73

Manufacture
The vehicle's manufacture has been
carried out at an industrial factory that
applies advanced procedures aimed at
environmental impact reduction with
respect to the inhabitants and nature in
the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and power consumption,
atmospheric and water emissions,
disposal and evaluation of waste).
Emissions
While it is being used, the vehicle was
designed to emit a lower quantity of
greenhouse gasses (CO
2) and
therefore lower consumption (ex.:
170 g/km amounts to 6.4 l/100 km for
a Diesel vehicle).
Moreover, the cars are equipped with
anti-pollution systems such as the
catalytic exhaust, oxygen sensor, etc.
For some vehicles, this system is
rounded out with an anti-particulate
filter that allows a reduction in particle
emissions.
Respecting the environment
Used and replaced parts on sale during
regular servicing (battery, oil filter, air
filter, batteries, etc.) and oil tanks (both
empty and full of used oil) must be
delivered to specialised waste disposal
consortiums.To hand the vehicle over at the end of
its life without extra cost, contact one of
our dealerships if you are purchasing
another vehicle or an FCA-authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These
centres have been carefully chosen to
offer high quality service for the
collection, treatment and recycling of
vehicles at their end of life, respecting
the surrounding environment.
Recyclability
The vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95%
recoverable.
To achieve these aims, several of the
vehicle's parts have been designed so
they can be recycled. The structure and
materials have been especially studied
to facilitate dismantling of these
components and their re-treatment in
specific chains.
In order to preserve raw material
resources, the vehicle incorporates
several parts in recycled plastic or
renewable materials (plant or animal like
cotton or wool).
DIESEL VERSION
PARTICULARITIES
88)
18)
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.
Engine smoke level label
The information (1) will be shown on the
label A fig. 161 in the engine
compartment.
