Warning light What it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / PARKING BRAKE ON
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has
switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the parking brake is engaged.
POWER STEERING FAILURE
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on when the ignition device is brought to MAR, but it
should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you
could not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be
increased; steering is, however, possible. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on
indicates either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side
seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning
light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger side seat
belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened. In this
case, fasten the seat belt.

not warn the driver about the possible
collision with the preceding vehicle.
The system deactivation status will not
be stored when the engine is switched
off: if the system is deactivated when
the engine is switched off, it will be
active when it is next started.
This function is not active at a speed
lower than 7 km/h or higher than
200 km/h.
The system is only active if:
it is correctly activated through the
Menu;
the ignition device is at MAR;
the vehicle speed is between 7 and
200 km/h;
the front seat belts are fastened.
Changing the system sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Menu, choosing
from one of the following three options:
"Near", "Med" or "Far". See the
description in theUconnect™ 5"o7"
HDsupplement for how to change the
settings.
The pre-set option is "Near". With this
setting, the system will warn the driver
of a possible collision with the vehicle in
front when it is close. This setting offers
the driver a lower reaction time
compared to the "Med" and "Far"
settings, in the event of a potentialcollision, but permits more dynamic
driving of the vehicle.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a greater
distance, thus providing the possibility
of acting on the brakes more lightly and
gradually. This setting provides the
drivers with the maximum possible
reaction time to prevent a potential
accident.
Changing the setting to “Med”, the
system warns the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front when it
is at a standard distance, between that
of the other two settings. The system
sensitivity setting is kept in the memory
when the engine is switched off.
System failure signalling
If the system switches off and a
dedicated message is shown on the
display, it means that there is a fault on
the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive
the vehicle, but you are advised to
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Radar indication not available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the
system is deactivated and a dedicatedmessage appears on the display. This
generally occurs in the event of poor
visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The system can also be temporarily
dimmed due to obstructions such as
mud, dirt or ice on the bumper. In such
cases, a dedicated message will be
shown on the display and the system
will be deactivated. This message can
sometimes appear in conditions of high
reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with reflective
tiles or ice or snow). When the
conditions limiting the system functions
end, this will go back to normal and
complete operation.
In certain particular cases, this
dedicated message could be displayed
when the radar is not detecting any
vehicles or objects within its view range.
If atmospheric conditions are not the
real reason behind this message, check
if the sensor is dirty. It could be
necessary to clean or remove any
obstructions in the area illustrated in
fig. 53.
If the message appears often, even in
the absence of atmospheric conditions
such as snow, rain, mud or other
obstructions, contact a Fiat Dealership
for a sensor alignment check.
In the absence of visible obstructions,

PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front air bags, side air bags and
drop down air bags (where provided).
Read the information given the following
pages with the utmost care. It is of
fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle"
chapter.
SEAT BELTS
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due to
an impact. This allows the belt strap to
slide freely and to adapt to the body of
the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the belt will lock reducing the
risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tab 1
fig. 59 and insert it into the buckle 2,
until it clicks into place.On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
3fig. 59 and guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
68) 69)
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel
mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden
braking, collisions and high-speed
bends.
Once seated, put on the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 60.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT
SEAT BELT HEIGHT
70) 71)
Four different adjustments in height are
possible.
To carry out window height adjustment,
from the top to the bottom, button 1
fig. 61 must be pressed, and the handle
must be slid downwards.
To carry out window height adjustment,
from the top to the bottom, the handle
must be slid (without pressing
anything).Always adjust the height of the seat
belts to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
68)Never press button 3 when travelling.
69)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
70)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.71)After the height adjustment, always
check that the grip is locked in one of the
preset positions. To do this, with button 1
released, exert further pressure
downwards to allow the locking device to
click if the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.

SBR (SEAT BELT
REMINDER) SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The SBR system warns the passengers
of the front and rear (where provided)
seats if their seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning
lights on in the instrument panel and
symbols on the display) and an
acoustic signal (see the following
paragraphs).
NOTE To deactivate the acoustic
warning permanently go to a Fiat
Dealership. The acoustic warning can
be reactivated at any time through the
display menu (see the "Display"
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
Operation of front seat belt warning
light
When the ignition device is turned to
MAR, warning light
(see fig. 62 )
comes on for a few seconds,
regardless of the status of the front seat
belts.
With vehicle at a standstill, if the driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (with occupant seated) is
unfastened, the warning light stays on
constantly.As soon as the threshold of 8 km/h
(5 mph) is reached for a few seconds
with driver or passenger side (with
passenger present) seat belts
unfastened, an acoustic warning is
activated together with the flashing of
the
warning light for approximately
100 seconds.
When this cycle of warnings is activated
it will stay on for its entire length
(regardless of the vehicle speed) or until
the seat belts are fastened again.
When the reverse is engaged, during
the cycle of warnings, the acoustic
signal is deactivated and the
warning light turns on constantly.
The cycle of warnings will be
reactivated as soon as speed exceeds
8 km/h again.Operation of rear seat belt symbols
The symbols are shown on the display
fig. 63 after a few seconds have
elapsed since the ignition device is
turned to MAR.
The symbols are displayed according to
the corresponding seat belts and turn
off at least 30 seconds after the doors
have been closed or after a change in
the seat belt fastening status.
seat belt unfastened
seat belt fastened
The symbols shown on the display
indicate:
A: rear left seat belt;
B: rear central seat belt;
C: rear right seat belt.
62P2000037-000-000

SAFETY

If a rear seat belt is unfastened, an
acoustic warning (3 "beeps") will be
activated along with the relevant symbol
lighting up on the display.
Furthermore the symbols will light up
again for 30 seconds each time one of
the rear doors is closed.
The symbol will change state after the
corresponding seat belt has been
fastened again.After about 30 seconds from the last
indication, the rear seat symbols will
switch off, irrespective of the seat belt
status.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBR system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
or fastened, not the presence of any
passengers.
The warning lights/symbols are all off if
all seat belts (front and rear) are
fastened when the ignition device is at
MAR.
For the rear seats, the symbols will
activate a few seconds after the ignition
device has been turned to MAR,
regardless of the status of the seat belts
(even if the seat belts are all fastened).
All the warning lights/symbols will come
on when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.
PRE-TENSIONERS
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back the
seat belts by several centimetres in the
event of a strong frontal impact. This
guarantees the perfect adherence of
the seat belts to the occupant's bodies
before the retention action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the safety belt
withdraws toward the retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (in the kick plate
area). Its activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable and rolling
up of the protective sheath.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the torso and pelvis.

LOAD LIMITERS
72)
27)
To increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front seat belt retractors
contain a load limiter which controls the
force acting on the chest and shoulders
during the belt restraining action in the
event of a head-on collision.
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
73) 74) 75)
Respect and ensure that all the other
occupants of the vehicle comply with
the local laws in force regarding the use
of seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in the
event of an accident is reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen fig. 64. While pregnancy
progresses, the driver must adjust both
seat and steering wheel to have full
control over the vehicle (pedals and
steering wheel must be easy to
access). The maximum clearanceshould be kept between the abdomen
and the steering wheel.
The seat belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally. The
lower part must adhere to the pelvis
fig. 65, not to the abdomen of the
occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt
away from your body.Each seat belt must be used by only
one person. Never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger's lap and a
single belt to protect them both fig. 66.
In general, do not place any objects
between the person and the belt.
SEAT BELTS
MAINTENANCE
For keeping the seat belts in efficient
conditions, carefully observe the
following warnings:
always use the seat belt well
stretched and never twisted; make sure
that it is free to run without
obstructions;
check seat belt operation as follows:
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;
replace the belt after an accident of a
certain severity even if it does not
appear to be damaged. Always replace
the seat belt if the pretensioners were
deployed;
