KNOWING YOUR CAR

When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
To ensure steering uniformity, when the
key is pressed while the steering wheel
is being turned, the change of force will
only be felt when it is turned in the
opposite direction, or the steering
wheel is released.
WARNING
28)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
29)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

ACTIVE GRILLE
SHUTTER
(where provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
Active Grille Shutter, an automatic
system with mobile flaps applied in front
of the cooling module, whose
automatic opening/closing movement
aims at improving the vehicle
aerodynamic efficiency and thus
reducing consumption while ensuring
optimal engine operating temperature
conditions.
When a greater air flow is required for
cooling (e.g. when driving in urban
traffic), the flaps open, whereas when
temperature is low or the air flow is
enough (for example when driving in
motorways), the grille closes.
In case of failure, the instrument panel
will show the warning light
.
ECO FUNCTION
(where provided)
To activate the function press the ECO
button fig. 71.
The ECO function only acts in
automatic mode and directs the shifting
logic towards a driving style that
optimises the fuel consumption.
The ECO function will be active
whenever the engine is started.
When the function is on, the
corresponding LED on the button lights.
This function is memorised, so when
the vehicle is started again, the system
keeps the setting it had before the
engine was stopped. Press the ECO
button again to deactivate the function
and restore the normal driving setting.
IMPORTANT If the battery is
disconnected/reconnected, the ECO
function will be turned off, restoring the
normal diving settings.
IMPORTANT For versions equipped
with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the
ECO function also acts on the
acceleration responsiveness of the
Adaptive Cruise Control. If you prefer a
more responsive behaviour, you can
turn off the ECO function or operate the
accelerator pedal. In the latter case,
normal Adaptive Cruise Control
operation will resume when the pedal is
released.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

STARTING THE
ENGINE
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on
the display.
ENGINE STARTING
PROCEDURE
107) 108) 109) 110)
39) 40) 41) 42)
Versions with manual transmission
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and place
the gear lever in neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
only for diesel versions, bring the
ignition device to MAR, warning light
will come on in the instrument
panel and wait for the warning light to
switch off;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Versions with automatic
transmission
(where provided)
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and set
the gear lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral);
set the ignition device to AVV;
if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait
for 10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
107)Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
108)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.109)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.
110)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
39)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km, you do
not drive to full car performance (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking, etc.).
40)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
41)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.
42)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be used
as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.
111

Temporary failure
In the event of a temporary failure,
correct transmission operation can be
restored for all the forwards gears by
proceeding as follows:
stop the vehicle;
bring the transmission lever to P
(Park);
bring the ignition device to STOP;
wait for about 10 seconds, then
restart the engine;
select the desired gear: correct
transmission operation should be
restored.
IMPORTANT In the event of a
temporary failure it is in any case
recommended to contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
GEAR ENGAGEMENT
DISABLING SYSTEM
WITHOUT BRAKE PEDAL
PRESSED
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park)
and N (Neutral) if the brake pedal has
not been previously depressed.
To bring the gear lever to a position
other than P (Park) or from N (Neutral)
to R (Reverse), the ignition device must
be in position MAR (engine on or off)
and the brake pedal must be
depressed. Button 1 fig. 115 on the
gear lever knob must also be pressed.To move the lever from position N
(Neutral) to position D (Drive, automatic
forward gear), you need to press the
brake pedal.
To facilitate parking manoeuvres, move
the lever from D to R (and vice versa)
without pressing the brake if the lever
does not pass through the N position.
The lever will remain locked in the P
position in case of faults or flat battery.
See the “Automatic transmission” in the
“In an emergency” chapter for how to
release the lever manually.
WARNING
115)Never use position P (Park) instead of
the parking brake. Always engage the
parking brake when parking the vehicle to
avoid the accidental movement of the
vehicle.
116)If the P (Park) position is not engaged,
the vehicle could move and injure people.
Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that
the gear lever is in position P and that the
parking brake is engaged.
117)Do not shift the gear lever to N
(Neutral) and do not stop the engine when
driving on a downhill road. This type of
driving is dangerous and reduces the
possibility of intervening in the case of
variation of the road traffic or surface. You
risk losing control of your vehicle and
causing accidents.
IMPORTANT
44)Before moving the gear lever from
position P (Park), bring the ignition device
to position MAR and press the brake pedal.
Otherwise, the gear lever may get
damaged.
45)Engage reverse only with the car
stationary, engine at idling speed and
accelerator fully released.
