The navigation system
helps the driver while dri-
ving by suggesting, vocal-
ly and graphically, the best route
to be followed to reach the pre-
set destination. The suggestions
given by the navigation system do
not exempt the driver from fully
responsibility due to driving be-
haviour and compliance with
road and other traffic regulations.
The responsibility for road safety
always and anyway lies with the
vehicle’s driver.RESETTING

– turn the ignition key to S;
– press and keep button Cpressed;
– turn the key to M;
– press and keep button Cpressed
for around 10 seconds so that the
maintenance indicator starts progres-
sive resetting until = 0 will be dis-
played;
– release button C and warning lamp
Awill go off to confirm successful re-
setting.
Your Fiat Dealership will reset
the maintenance indicator after
each control carried out.
INFOTELEMATIC
CONNECT SYSTEM
(where fitted)
The vehicle can be fitted with the in-
fotelematic CONNECT system which
includes a radio with CD-ROM/Audio
player, GSM cell phone, navigator and
on-board computer, designed in ac-
cordance with the specific features of
the passenger compartment and with
a personalised design that blends with
the styling of the dashboard.
The system is installed in an user-
friendly position for the driver and the
graphics on the front panel make it
easy to quickly locate the controls
which facilitate the use of them.
To use the system keep to the
instructions and warnings con-
cerning both its functions and the
relative road safety rules con-
tained in the specific Annex pro-
vided with the present Owner
Handbook.

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.

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.

INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRIC/ ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed
after buying the vehicle or in after-
market shall bear the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the in-
stallation of transceivers provided that
installation is carried out at a special-
ized shop, workmanlike performed
and in compliance with manufacturer's
specifications.IMPORTANT Installation of devices
resulting in modifications of vehicle
characteristics may cause driving li-
cense seizing by traffic agents and al-
so the lapse of the warranty as con-
cerns defects due to the abovemen-
tioned modification or traceable back
to it directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all respon-
sibility for damages caused by the in-
stallation of non-genuine accessories
or not recommended by Fiat Auto
S.p.A. and installed not in compliance
with the specified requirements.RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-
tacs mobile phones, HAM radio sys-
tems and the like) shall not be used in-
side the vehicle unless a separate aer-
ial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar de-
vices inside the passenger compart-
ment (without separated aerial) pro-
duces radio-frequency electromag-
netic fields which, amplified by the res-
onance effects inside the passenger
compartment, may cause electrical
systems equipping the vehicle to mal-
function. This could compromise safe-
ty in addition to constituting a poten-
tial hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and recep-
tion of these devices may be affected
by the shielding effect of the vehicle
body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly
comply with the instructions for use
provided by the mobile phone’s man-
ufacturer.

IN AN EMERGENCY
182
IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved in
the accident, stop at least ten meters
away from the accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with
your car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on the
hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of the
accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk be-
ing run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– Call for rescue making the infor-
mation you give as accurate as you can.
One the motorway use the special col-
umn-mounted emergency phones.– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-
ticularly when visibility is bad, there is
a high risk of other vehicles running in-
to those already stopped. Get out of
the car immediately and take refuge
behind the guard-rail.
– Remove the ignition keys from the
vehicles involved.
– If you can smell petrol or other
chemicals, do not smoke and make
sure all cigarettes are extinguished.
– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket, sand
or earth to put out fires no matter how
small they are. Never use water.
– If the doors are blocked, do not at-
tempt to smash the windscreen to get
out of the car. It is made of layered
glass and is very hard. Side and rear
window are much more easily broken.IF ANYONE IS INJURED
– Never leave the injured person
alone. The obligation to provide as-
sistance exists even for those not di-
rectly involved in the accident.
– Do not congregate around the in-
jured person.
– Reassure the injured person that
help is on its way and will arrive soon.
Stay close by to calm him/her down in
case of panic.
– Unfasten or cut seat belts holding
injured parties.
– Do not give an injured person any-
thing to drink.
– Do not move an injured person un-
less the following situations arise.
– Pull the injured person from the
car only if it risks catching fire, it is
sinking in water or is likely to fall over
a cliff or similar. Do not pull his/her
arms or legs, do not bend the head
and, as far as possible, keep the body
horizontal.

CAR MAINTENANCE
204
These devices will, in fact, run off the
battery even when the key is not in-
serted (car parked) and can deploy the
battery.
The total intake of these systems
(factory and after-market) must be less
than a 0.6 mA x Ah (of the battery), as
shown in the following table:
Battery:
50 Ah
60 Ah
70 AhMaximum
admitted
stand-by intake:
30 mA
36 mA
42 mA
Furthermore, remember that high in-
take electric devices (such as baby bot-
tle warmers, vacuum cleaners, cellular
phones, mini-fridges, etc.) powered
when the engine is off can deploy the
battery.
IMPORTANTIf you need to fit ad-
ditional systems in the car, remember
that improper wiring connections, in
particular if they affect safety devices,
are dangerous.ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNITS
When the car is being used normal-
ly, special measures are not necessary.
The following instructions must be
followed very carefully, however, if
you work on the electrical system or
in cases where emergency starting is
necessary:
– never disconnect the battery from
the electrical system while the engine
is running.
– disconnect the battery from the
electrical system if you are recharg-
ing it.
– never perform emergency start-
ups with a battery charger. Always use
an auxiliary battery.
– be particularly careful when con-
necting the battery to the electrical
system. Make sure that the polarity is
correct and that the connection is ef-
ficient.
– before connecting/disconnecting
the electronic unit terminals make
sure the ignition key.
