START&STOP
SYSTEM
29) 30)
This system lets you reduce fuel
consumption and harmful gas
emissions. When you start the vehicle,
the system is automatically activated.
When driving, the system stops the
engine (in stand-by) while the vehicle is
not moving (traffic jam, stop for a traffic
light, etc.).
OPERATING MODE
The engine is put in stand-by if:the vehicle was driven since its last
stop;
the gear is in neutral;
the clutch pedal is released;
the vehicle speed is lower than about
3 km/h.
2) 3)
The warning lightshown on the
instrument panel indicates that the
engine is in standby.
The equipment of the car remains
functioning for the entire time the
engine is off.
The engine is automatically restarted
when the clutch pedal is pressed and
the vehicle is put in gear.
ACTIVATION AND
DEACTIVATION OF THE
SYSTEM
Press button 1 fig. 65 to deactivate the
function. The dedicated message will
appear on the instrument panel and the
warning light 2 fig. 65 on the button will
turn on.
Pressing again will reactivate the
system. The appropriate message will
appear on the instrument panel and the
warning light 2 on the button 1 will turn
off.
The system re-activates automatically
whenever the vehicle is voluntarily
restarted (refer to the "Starting the
engine” paragraph in the “Starting and
driving” chapter).
NOTES: With the engine in stand-by,
press button 1: the engine restarts
automatically.Special cases
For vehicles with an electronic key,
with the system activated, engine in
standby mode (traffic jam, stopping at a
red light, etc.), if the driver rises up from
his seat or unbuckles his seat belt, the
contact is disengaged. To restart the
Start&Stop system, press the ignition
button (see "Starter switch” paragraph
in the “Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
In case the engine stops, if the
system is activated, press down hard
on the clutch pedal to restart it.
MISSED ENGINE
STOPPING CONDITIONS
Depending on the vehicle, some
conditions stop the system from
applying the stand-by engine,
specifically:
reverse is in gear;
the bonnet is not locked;
for cars with an electronic key, the
driver's door is not closed;
for vehicles with an electronic key,
the driver's seat belt is not fastened;
the outside temperature is too low or
too high (lower than 0°C or over 35°C);
the battery not sufficiently charged;
there is too much difference between
the inside vehicle temperature and that
set by the automatic climate control;

NOTE When driving, each time the
vehicle stops, the windscreen wipers
slow down: from fast to slow
continuous operation. As soon as the
vehicle moves again, the wipers return
to the initially selected speed. Any
operation of lever 1 fig. 81 takes
precedence and annuls any
automatism.
Cars with automatic windscreen
wipers
(For versions/markets where provided)
With the engine started, move lever 1
fig. 82
Afig. 81 Stop
Bfig. 81 Automatic windscreen
wiper function. In this position, the
system detects water on the
windscreen and runs the wipers to the
best speed.You can change the activation threshold
and the time between one wipe and the
next by turning the ring 2:
Efig. 82 Minimum sensitivity
Ffig. 82 Maximum sensitivity
C fig. 81Continuous slow operation
Dfig. 81 Continuous fast operation
NOTE If there is fog or snow, the
automatic windscreen wipers are not
systematic and the driver has to
operate them.
IMPORTANT Position C fig. 81 is
accessible when the starter device is
on. Position B and D fig. 81 are
accessible with the engine started.
NOTE There is a service position for
replacing the wiper blades. With the
starter device on and engine stopped,
move the wiper stalk 1 all down
(position D) fig. 81. The wiper arm stops
in a position away from the bonnet (see
the "Windscreen wipers" paragraph in
the "Maintenance and care" chapter).
Windscreen washer
With starter device inserted, pull lever 1
fig. 83 towards the driver. Pulling the
lever briefly, activates a single wipe
together with the screen washer. Pulling
the lever for a longer time, activates
three consecutive wipes together with
the screen washer, and then a fourth
wipe after a few seconds.IMPORTANT In the case of ice or snow,
clean the windscreen (including the
central section behind the interior rear
view mirror) and the rear window before
activating the wipers (risk of overheating
their electric motor). Check condition of
the wiper blades:
they have to stay clean: clean both
windscreen and rear window regularly
with soapy water;
do not use them when the
windscreen and rear window are dry;
detach them from the windscreen or
rear window if they have not been used
for a long time.
In any case, replace them as soon as
they are no longer efficient: about once
a year. Check that there is no item that
could interfere with the windscreen
wiper trajectory.

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
occupant is sticking out of a window or an
open door.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Opening the bonnet
Lift the bonnet and accompany it.
Lifting is aided by side dampers.
Closing the bonnet
Make sure nothing has been left in the
engine compartment. Lower the bonnet
to approximately 30 centimetres from
the engine compartment and let it drop.
Make sure that the bonnet is
completely closed and not only
fastened by the locking device by trying
to open it. If it is not perfectly closed,
do not try to press the bonnet down
but open it and repeat the procedure.
WARNING
62)Before any intervention, the engine
must be turned off (and not in stand-by):
you must turn the engine off (refer to the
"Starting the engine" paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter).
63)Do not lean on the bonnet: it could
close involuntarily.
64)When you intervene near the engine,
this last could be hot. Moreover, the
cooling fan could start up at any time. The
warning light serves to remind you of
this condition. Risk of injury.
65)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper is in the stopped
position. Risk of injury.
66)In case of a collision, even a light one
like against the cowling or bonnet, have it
checked at a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.67)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the parking brake is engaged.
68)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
IMPORTANT
17)After every intervention in the engine
compartment, make sure you have not left
anything (rags, tools, etc.); basically these
could damage the engine or start a fire.
INTERIOR FITTINGS
SUN VISORS

JUMP STARTING
186) 187) 188) 189) 190)
40)
Starting the engine that supplies
electrical power and keeping it at
medium speed.
To start, if you use the battery from
another vehicle, you need to have the
right cables (large size) from a Fiat
Dealership or, if you already have them,
make sure they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries have to have nominal
identical voltage: 12 Volt The battery
that supplies the power has to have a
capacity (amperes/hour, Ah) that is at
least identical to the dead battery.
Make sure that there is no contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuit at the moment the positive poles
are in contact) and that the dead
battery is well connected. Disengage
the starter device.Depending on the versions, unhook the
battery guard.
Connect positive cable A fig. 268 to
terminal 1 (+) fig. 268 then to terminal 4
(+) fig. 268 of the battery supplying the
power.
Connect negative cable B fig. 268 to
terminal 3 (-) fig. 268 from the battery
supplying power, then to terminal 2 (-)
fig. 268 of the dead battery.
Start the engine and as soon as it turns
over, disconnect cables A and B in
reverse order (2-3-4-1) .
WARNING
186)Check that the wires A and B are not
touching and that the positive cable A does
not touch any metal component of the
vehicle providing the current. You risk injury
and/or damage to the vehicle.187)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the "S" (Stop) position.
Follow the indications on the plate
underneath the bonnet.
188)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
189)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
190)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Therefore, keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
40)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.

SERVICING
PROCEDURES
The vehicle respects the recycling
criteria and scrapped vehicle
assessment which came into force in
2015.
Therefore, some of the vehicle’s
components are designed with their
ultimate recycling in mind.
These components can easily be
disassembled to be recovered and
reused in the recycling industry.
Moreover, thanks to its advanced
design, its original setup and its modest
fuel consumption, the vehicle complies
with the anti-pollution regulations in
force. We are actively committed to
reducing polluting gases and saving
energy. But the level of polluting gas
emissions and vehicle consumption
also depend on you. Take care to use
and service your car correctly.
Keep in mind that lack of respect for
anti-pollution laws can expose the
vehicle's owner to administrative
sanctions. Moreover, replacing engine,
fuel system and exhaust parts with
other non-original ones voids the
vehicle's compliance with the
anti-pollution regulations.
