IMPORTANT If one of the doors is not perfectly closed, or there is a
system fault, the central locking device will not work and after 8 or 9
attempts in rapid succession the device will cut out for about 30 seconds.
During these 30 seconds the doors can be locked or unlocked manually,
without involving the electric system. After 30 seconds the central
system is ready to receive commands again. If the reason for the
malfunction has been removed, the device will start to work properly
again. If not it will cut out once more.
IMPORTANT If one or both rear doors are open and the remote
control (or the key in the door lock) is operated, the central door
locking system will lock all the doors lowering the door sill buttons.
When closing the open doors they will lock.
CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
This prevents the rear doors from being opened from the inside.
Insert the tip of the ignition key into (F) and turn it:
Position 1 - device off.
Position 2 - device on.

WARNINGImproper use of power windows can be dangerous. Before and during its operation
ensure that any passengers are not at risk from the moving window either by
personal objects getting caught on the mechanism or by being injured by it directly.
When leaving the car, the ignition key should be removed to prevent the power
window from being operated inadvertently and harming anyone remaining in the
car.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS
FRONT SEATS
The electric windows are controlled by two buttons in the inside of the
handle on the driver’s door:
A - to open/close left window;
B - to open/close right window.
If button (A) on driver’s side is pressed for over one second, the
automatic opening/closing function is activated: the window will stop
moving when it reaches the end of its stroke (or when the button is
pressed again).
On the passenger side there is a switch in the door handle to control the
relevant window.

EOBD SYSTEM
The European On Board Diagnostic system (EOBD) fitted to engine and
automatic transmission (where provided) electronic control units allows
monitoring and warning of any malfunction to the electronic systems that
could increase exhaust emissions.
The objective is:
❒To keep system efficiency under control
❒Warn when a fault causes emission levels to increase
❒Warn of the need to replace deteriorated components
This diagnostic system indicates the presence of deteriorated
components or system malfunctioning (see section “Warning lights and
Messages”) by the turning on of the instrument panel warning light
U
(together with the relevant message on the multifunction display, where
provided).
NOTE: The car is provided with a diagnostic connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control units, together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This test can also be performed by traffic controller agents.
IMPORTANT: After a servicing operation at Fiat Dealership aimed to
eliminate malfunctioning connected to the EOBD system, in order to
check the system thoroughly it could be required to run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.
F0G0382m
If turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if, while travelling it
turns on glowing steadily or flashing (together with the message on the multifunction display),
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. Warning light
Uoperation can be checked by means
of special equipment by traffic controller agents. Always comply with the traffic regulations in force
in the country where you are travelling.

The hands-free telephone shall be purchased by the Customer since it must be compatible with the
Customer’s cellular phone.
To install the cellular phone and make the relevant connection in the car it is essential to have the
system installed at a Fiat Dealership. This will ensure the best results and prevent problems which
could affect the car safety.

FUEL FILLER CAP
the cap (B) is fitted with an antiloss device (C) which fastens it to the lid
(A) so it cannot be mislaid.
To open: hold the cap (B) still, turn the key anticlockwise, turn the cap by
about half a turn and remove it.
While refuelling, the cap can be placed directly on the flap (A) as shown
in the figure.
IMPORTANT The hermetic closure may cause a slight pressure build-up
in the tank, a slight hiss when opening the cap is quite normal.
To close: fit the cap (with the key) and turn it clockwise until you hear
one or more clicks; hold the cap still, turn the key clockwise then
remove it.
IMPORTANT If it becomes necessary to replace the cap, use only an
original spare, otherwise the vapour recovery system efficiency could
become reduced.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel system.
F0E0667m
Do not put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the fuel filler hole as there is a
danger of fire. Do not bend too close to the hole either so as not to breathe in
harmful vapours.WARNING

All restraint devices must bear the certification data,
together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed
label which must absolutely never be removed.Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each weight group,
which are the recommended choice, as they have been
designed and experimented specifically for Fiat cars.
WARNINGWith passenger’s air bag active, never place child’s seats with the cradle facing
backwards since the air bag activation could cause to the child serious injuries,
even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it. You are
advised to carry children always with proper restraint systems on the rear seats, as
this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.
WARNINGSERIOUS DANGER Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a baby on the front
passenger seat with a child's seat with the cradle facing backwards, deactivate the
passenger's air bags (front and side on the seat, where provided) using the key
switch and then check warning light
Fon the cluster to make sure that
deactivation has actually took place (see paragraph “ Manual deactivation of
passenger's front air bag”).
The front passenger's seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to
prevent any contact between child's seat and dashboard.
