CIGAR LIGHTER fig. 135
To use the cigar lighter, with the ig-
nition key at M, press button A; after
about 15 seconds the button auto-
matically pops back into its original po-
sition and the cigar lighter is ready for
use.ASHTRAY fig. 135-136The passengers in the rear seats can
use the ashtray by placing cup Din the
removable litter container Eas illus-
trated in fig. 135.
Extract compartment Band lift tab
C to use the ashtray. Remove cup D
to empty the ashtray. When the cup
is extracted the compartment can be
used as a glass holder. The cigar lighter gets
very hot. Be careful how
you handle it and make
sure children do not use it: dan-
ger of fire or burns. Always make
sure that the cigar lighter does in
fact pop out after it has been
pushed in.

Deactivating the passenger’s
front air bag manually
The passenger’s front airbag can be
deactivated if it is absolutely necessary
to carry a child in the front passenger
seat.
Deactivation takes place using the ve-
hicle ignition key in the special key
switch on the right-hand side of the
dashboard fig. 170. Access to the
switch is only possible with the door
open.The key operated switch has two po-
sitions:
POSITION 1 (ON): passenger’s
front air bag activated, warning light
“
on instrument cluster off; it is ab-
solutely prohibited to carry a child on
the front seat;
POSITION 2 (OFF): passenger’s
front air bag activated, warning light
“
on instrument cluster on; it is possible
to carry a child protected by special
restraint system on the front seat.
The
“warning light on the cluster
stays on permanently until the pas-
senger’s air bag is reactivated.
The side airbag will work although
the front airbag is deactivated.
When the door is open, the key can
be inserted and removed in both po-
sitions.

SERIOUS DANGER
The car is fitted
with an Air bag on
the passenger’s side. Do not place
a child’s seat on the front seat. In
the case of need, always deacti-
vate the passenger’s Air bag
when a child’s seat is placed on
the front seat. Even if not com-
pulsory by law, you are recom-
mended to reactivate the Air bag
immediately as soon as child
transport is no longer necessary.
Page 130 of 254

Remember that with the
key engaged and in M po-
sition, even with the en-
gine not running, the air bags may
be triggered on a stationary ve-
hicle if it is bumped by another
moving car. Therefore, never seat
children on the front seat even
when the vehicle is stationary.
On the other hand, remember
that with the vehicle stationary,
without the key engaged and
turned, the air bags are not trig-
gered in the event of an impact;
in these cases, failure to come in-
to action of the air bags cannot
be considered as a sign that the
system is not working properly.

129
Never travel with ob-
jects on your lap, in front
of your chest or with a
pipe, pencil, etc. between your
lips; injury may result in the event
of the air bag being triggered.If the car has been stolen
or an attempt to steal it
has been made, if it has
been subjected to vandals or
floods, have the air bag system
checked by Fiat Dealership.
Do not wash the seat
back rest with pressurised
water or steam at auto-
matic seat washing stations.
Do not cover the back-
rest of front seats with
trims or covers that are
not suitable to be used with side
bags. Always keep you hands
on the steering wheel rim
when driving, so that if
the air bag is triggered, it can in-
flate without meeting any obsta-
cles which could cause serious
harm to you. Do not drive with
the body bent forward, keep the
seat back rest in the erect posi-
tion and lean your back well
against it.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the
steering wheel or to the
air bag cover on the passenger’s
side or on the side roof lining.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile
phones) on the dashboard on pas-
senger side since they could in-
terfere with proper passenger air
bag inflation and also cause seri-
ous injury.

PARKING SENSORS
(where fitted)
Parking sensors inform the driver
about the presence of obstacles be-
hind the vehicle.
They are a valid support to identify
fences, walls, poles, plant-pots and
alike, together with children playing
behind the car.
The system uses the four sensors on
the bumper fig. 171to detect the dis-
tance between the vehicle and possi-
ble obstacles. When the reverse is en-
gaged, the system is automatically
turned on with a sound signal
(“beep”).
The driver is therefore warned that
the distance between the vehicle and
the rear obstacle is getting reduced by
the increasing of the sound warning
frequency.The sound warning becomes contin-
uous when the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is lower than
25 cm.
The sound warning stops as soon as
the distance increases. The sequence
of sound warnings remains constant
if the distance is not changed.
If the car features the CONNECT
Nav+ infotelematic system, the park-
ing sensor buzzer will be completed
with graphic information on the colour
display.
IMPORTANTIn the event a the
system failure, the driver is informed
of it by a repeated alarm consisting of
a short sound followed by long one; in
this case contact aFiat Dealership.
If the sensor detects more than one
obstacle, the control unit signals the
obstacle having the shortest distance
from the vehicle. The airbag is set to be
fired in the event of colli-
sions which are greater
than the pretensioner settings.
Consequently, for collisions in the
bracket between the two thresh-
olds, it is normal for only the pre-
tensioners to be fired.
The air bag does not
substitute the seat belts,
but only increases their
effectiveness. Moreover, since
the air bag does not come into
operation in the event of front
impact at low speed, side colli-
sions, bumps from behind or
overturning, in these circum-
stances the occupants would be
only be protected by the seat
belts which must therefore al-
ways be fastened.

DRIVING YOUR CAR
140
BEFORE GETTING BEHIND
THE WHEEL
The main suggestions are the fol-
lowing:
– make sure all lights including the
headlights are working properly;
– adjust the position of the seat,
steering wheel, driving and door mir-
rors properly for the best driving po-
sition;
– adjust the head restraints careful-
ly so that they support the head and
not the neck;
– make sure that nothing (mats, etc.)
gets in the way of the pedals when
they are pushed down;
– make sure that any child restraint
systems (child seats, carriers, etc.) are
properly fixed, preferably on the back
seat as this is the safest place in the
event of an accident;– make sure that objects being trans-
ported are carefully arranged so they
will not fly forward if you have to
brake sharply;
– do not eat a heavy meal before
travelling. Light eating will help keep
your reflexes prompt. Above all, do
not have anything alcoholic to drink.
Using certain prescription drugs can
reduce your ability to drive: read in-
structions for use carefully.
Periodically, remember to check:
– tyre pressure and conditions;
– engine oil level;
– coolant level and conditions of the
system;
– brake fluid level;
– power steering fluid level;
– windscreen washer liquid level.WHEN TRAVELLING
The main suggestions are the fol-
lowing:
– the first rule of safe driving is pru-
dence. Prudence also means putting
yourself into a position where you can
predict wrong or imprudent behaviour
from other drivers;
– stick closely to the rules of the
road in the particular country where
the vehicle is being driven and, above
all, do not exceed speed limits;
– ensure that, besides yourself, all the
other passengers in the vehicle have
their seat belts fastened, that children
are sitting in the appropriate child
seats and any animals in the car are
placed in suitable compartments;
– you should be physically fit and
mentally alert before setting out on
long journeys;

DRIVING YOUR CAR
141
Be careful when fitting
additional spoilers, light
alloy rims and optional
wheel caps: these devices could
reduce brake ventilation and ef-
ficiency in the event of repeated
and sudden braking or long
downhill drives.Never drive with objects
on the floor in front of the
driver’s seat. The objects
could get jammed under the ped-
als making braking or accelerat-
ing impossible.
Driving while drunk or
under the influence of
drugs or certain medi-
cines is dangerous for both you
and other road users.Pay attention to mats: if
you note even a small
problem in braking, the
pedal stroke may need to be ad-
justed.
Always fasten both front
and back seat belts, in-
cluding child restraint sys-
tems. Travelling with the seat
belts unfastened increases the
risk of injury or death if you are
in a collision.
Water, ice and road salt
may deposit on brake
discs making it difficult to
brake the first time this is neces-
sary.– do not drive too many hours at a
time but stop at intervals to stretch
your legs and recoup your energies;
– make sure the air in the vehicle is
being changed continuously;
– never coast downhill (i.e. with the
engine off): if you do, you lose the aid
of the engine brake, power brakes and
power steering, so that braking and
steering require greater effort.
