The pretensioner can
only be used once. After a
collision that has trig-
gered it, have it replaced at a Fi-
at Dealership. The device will last
for 10 years from the date of pro-
duction. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship to replace the pretensioners
as this date approaches.
Operations involving
banging, vibrations or
heating (exceeding 100°C
for a maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioner
may trigger or damage the de-
vice. Vibrations from rough road
surfaces or accidental jolting
cause by mounting pavements
etc. do not have any effect on the
pretensioner. If, however, you
need any assistance, go to a Fiat
Dealership.
LOAD LIMITING DEVICES
This device reduces the load which
is normally exerted by the seat belts
on the passenger’s shoulder and chest
in a collision. It increases protection
by preventing the micro traumas
which are inevitable in road accidents.
The device is built into the front and
second row side seat belt reels.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE USE OF THE SEAT
BELTS
The driver must make sure that all
occupants use their seat belts prop-
erly in accordance with local legisla-
tion.
Always fasten the seat belts before
starting.
For maximum safety,
keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and hips.
Make sure the seat belts on the
front and rear passengers are fas-
tened at all times. You increase
the risk of serious injury or death
in a collision if you travel with the
belts unfastened.

Failure to replace the fil-
ter can reduce the cli-
mate control system’s ef-
ficiency considerably.

Feet
Air is directed towards the feet
through:
– three front vents for the first row
(2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the
passenger’s side);
– four vents on the floor (2 for the
second row and 2 for the third row).
Windscreen/feet
Air is distributed with the same per-
centage to the feet (40%) and wind-
screen vents (40%), but a small per-
centage is devoted to ventilation (20%)
in order to guarantee the passenger
compartment heating and to prevent
frosting.
This type of air distribution is applied
by the climate control system auto-
matic operation, especially when the
external temperature is very low and
it is necessary to direct some warm air
towards the driver’s hands.
MAX-DEF function
Air is completely directed to the
windscreen and front side windows.
This function is used for the wind-
screen/side window rapid defrost-ing/demisting and rear heated window
activation with only one operation.
Such function is activated manually
and enables the following functions:
– ventilation with maximum air ca-
pacity;
– air mixing completely hot;
– air recirculation off (outside air);
– compressor on;
– air distribution to the windscreen;
– rear heated window on.
When the MAX-DEF function is on
it is possible to alter the air capacity
and to deactivate the rear heated win-
dow.
The rear heated window works for
a limited time and turns off automati-
cally.AIR QUALITY
The system is fitted with a pollen fil-
ter which prevents dust particles and
pollen coming from the outside from
getting into the system.
Have the pollen filter checked at a
Fiat Dealership at least once a year,
possibly at the beginning of spring/
summer.
If the car is often used in dusty or
highly polluted areas, you should check
or change the pollen filter more fre-
quently.

IMPORTANTWhen the engine is
started with the climate control sys-
tem in automatic mode and the ex-
ternal temperature is very low, the fan
may not be activated. Do not consid-
er it a malfunction; the system will re-
store the normal operation as soon as
the temperature threshold set by the
system is reached.
AIR DISTRIBUTION
Air distribution options, controlled
automatically or manually, are the fol-
lowing:
– ventilation (front)
– bilevel (front/feet)
– feet
– windscreen/feet
– MAX-DEF function.
Air is also delivered to second and
third row seat.Ventilation
The treated air flow passes through
5 front vents placed on the edge and
in the middle of the dashboard. The air
flow can be directed both horizontal-
ly and vertically by adjusting manually
the tab position and the control lever.
Air capacity can be adjusted by ro-
tating the vent sliders.
With this setting the system enables
air capacity variation for the second
and third row.
Bilevel function
The air flow is distributed in the fol-
lowing way: 45% ventilation, 45% feet,
10% windscreen.
With this setting treated air is di-
rected towards the feet of front and
rear seat passengers and towards the
dashboard vents. It also enables air ca-
pacity variation for the second and
third row.Feet
Air is directed towards the feet
through:
– three front vents for the first row
(2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the
passenger’s side);
– four vents on the floor (2 for the
second row and 2 for the third row).
Windscreen/feet
Air is distributed with the same per-
centage to the feet (40%) and wind-
screen vents (40%), but a small per-
centage is devoted to ventilation (20%)
in order to guarantee the passenger
compartment heating and to prevent
frosting.
This type of air distribution is applied
by the climate control system auto-
matic operation, especially when the
external temperature is very low and
it is necessary to direct some warm air
towards the driver’s hands.

DRIVING YOUR CAR

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
AND POLLUTION
Tyres
Tyre pressure should be checked at
least once every four weeks: if the
pressure is too low fuel consumption
increases as the resistance to the
rolling movement of the tyre is
greater. In this state, tyre wear is in-
creased and vehicle handling suffers,
which will effect safety.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the
vehicle (especially when driving in the
city) and its trim greatly effects con-
sumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof/ski rack from the
roof when no longer necessary. These
accessories reduce the vehicle’s aero-
dynamic penetration, which affects
consumption. Use a trailer, if particu-
larly heavy objects are to be trans-
ported. Some suggestions which may help
you to keep the running costs of the
car down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere are given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
The overall state of the vehicle is an
important factor that has a marked in-
fluence over fuel consumption, driving
comfort and on the life span of your
vehicle. For this reason, care should
be taken to maintain your vehicle by
carrying out the necessary checks and
observing regulations in accordance
with the specifications given in the
Scheduled Maintenance Programme
(see section, idling, air cleaners, tim-
ing).Electrical devices
Use electric devices for the neces-
sary time only. The heated rear win-
dow, supplementary lights, windscreen
wipers, heating system blower require
large amounts of electricity; this means
an increase in the request for power
and consequently an increase in fuel
consumption (up to +25% when dri-
ving in built-up areas).
Climate control system
The climate control unit is an addi-
tional load that greatly affects the en-
gine leading to higher consumption (on
average +20%). When the tempera-
ture outside allows it, use the air
vents.
Spoilers
The use of optional extras which are
not certified for specific use on the car
may reduce the aerodynamic pene-
tration of the car and increase con-
sumption.
