instrument panel FIAT TALENTO 2021 Owner handbook (in English)

IMPORTANT In vehicles equipped with
the Start&Stop function, fill with AdBlue
(Urea) additive when the engine is
stopped. Always stop the engine (refer
to the information about starting and
stopping the engine).
AdBlue (Urea) additive quality
Only use additives that comply with the
ISO 22241 standard and in compliance
with the label on the fuel tank flap.
Average fuel consumption
Approximately 3.5 l / 1000 km,
according to the vehicle version,
depending on the vehicle version and
driving style.
Operating precautions
The additive can be topped up in
service stations using the nozzles or the
commercially available containers.
Always refer to the information on the
AdBlue (Urea) 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.
IMPORTANT Use a soft sponge if the
additive crystallises.
In extremely cold climates
In case of ice, the AdBlue (Urea)
additive tank must be topped up until
the warning lightaccompanied by a
dedicated message appears on the
instrument panel.
Precautions while refilling the tank
The AdBlue (Urea) additive freezes at
temperatures lower than approximately
-10 °C. Do not attempt to fill or top up
in this case. However, we advise you to
top up the AdBlue (Urea) additive or
have a qualified professional do it when
the warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on.
47) 48)
WARNING
46)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.47)The AdBlue (Urea) additive must not
come into contact with eyes or skin. If that
happens, rinse thoroughly with water. If
necessary, see a doctor.
48)For vehicles with Start&Stop function:
to refill AdBlue (Urea) additive, the engine
must be turned off (and not in stand-by):
you must stop the engine (refer to the
"Starting the engine” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter):
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 AdBlue (Urea) additive tank
(minimum 10 litres) and see the refilling
instructions. Danger that the vehicle will be
immobilised.
11)After filling the AdBlue (Urea) 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.
12)No kind of intervention is authorised on
any part of the system. To avoid possible

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
56)This function is an auxiliary driving aid
with acoustic signals to indicate that you
are approaching an obstacle while
manoeuvring. However, this does exempt
the driver from normal driving alertness nor
from liability in the event of an accident
while manoeuvring. The driver must always
be ready to face any unexpected situations
that could occur when driving. Before
starting a manoeuvre, specifically check for
any moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, bicycle, stone, pole, etc.) or
obstacles in the blind spot that are too
small to be detected.
57)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
13)In the event of a collision while
manoeuvring the vehicle (e.g. hitting a
bollard, raised pavement or any other street
furniture), the vehicle could be damaged
(e.g. deformed axle). To prevent any risk of
accident, have the vehicle checked at a Fiat
Dealership.
14)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.
15)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.

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
