SUNROOF OPENING/CLOSING
With key without remote control
(where provided)
Opening: turn the key clockwise in the
door revolving plug.
Closing: turn the key counterclockwise in
the door revolving plug.
With key with remote control
Opening: prolonged pressing (for more
than 2 seconds) on button
Ë.
Closing: prolonged pressing (for more
than 2 seconds) on button
Á.
When buttons
Á/Ë, are released, the
above functions are cut-off.
When opening, blades and curtain open at
the same time.
When closing, the curtain closes first and
then are closed the blades.ANTI-CRUSHING SAFETY
SYSTEM
The anti-crushing safety system fitted on
the front curtain outline is active along the
whole closing range of the curtain and cuts
into operation when an obstacle (e.g.: fin-
ger, hand, etc...) is met. This safety device
guarantees the reversal for a short sec-
tion.
In addition, the anti-crushing safety system
is active on the rear border of the first
blade and on the front outline of the sec-
ond blade: in this case it is active on the
whole closing range of the curtain and cuts
into operation when an obstacle (e.g.: fin-
ger, hand, etc...) is met. This safety device
guarantees the reversal for a short sec-
tion.
As concerns the first blade it is active on
the whole rotation range and guarantees
the reversal of the whole stroke.
After anti-crushing system activation, re-
setting can be carried out with the fol-
lowing 2 procedures:
❒pushing knob A-fig. 83upwards (reset
previously stopped movement);
❒turning knob Ato another position.INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Sunroof shall be re-initialised after dis-
connecting the battery or if the relevant
protection fuse is blown:
❒turn knob A-fig. 81to “0” (fully
closed);
❒keep the knob pressed for over 5 sec-
onds: the sunroof will close jerkily;
❒keep the knob pressed and wait for
complete closing of the sunroof, until
the sun curtain clicks twice.
Sunroof is now initialised and it shall work
regularly. Otherwise, contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
IMPORTANT Carry out the initialisation
procedure with the engine running. If stop-
ping the initialisation procedure before
ending it, repeat it from the beginning.

BONNET
TO OPEN THE BONNET
Proceed as follows:
❒pull lever A-fig. 118in the direction of
the arrow;
❒pull lever B-fig. 119and lift the bon-
net.
IMPORTANT Bonnet raising is aided by
two side gas springs. Do not tamper with
these springs and guide the bonnet while
raising it.
IMPORTANT Before opening the bonnet,
check that windscreen wiper arms are not
lifted from the windscreen.TO CLOSE THE BONNET
Lower the bonnet at approx. 20 cm from
the engine compartment and then let it
drop, ensuring that it is fully closed and
not just held in position by the safety
catch. If the bonnet does not close prop-
erly do not push it down but open it again
and repeat the above procedure. If the
bonnet is not shut properly, the warning
light
´comes on together with the mes-
sage on the display (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
IMPORTANT Always check that the bon-
net is closed properly to avoid its opening
while the car is travelling.
fig. 118F0C0029mfig. 119F0C0383m
For safety reasons the bon-
net must be closed properly
to avoid its opening while the car is
travelling. Therefore, always check it
is properly closed and the catch en-
gaged. Should you notice that the
catch is not perfectly engaged when
travelling, stop the car immediately
and close the bonnet.
WARNING
This should only be done
when the car is stationary.

ESP SYSTEM (Electronic
Stability Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road
surfaces changes.
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.
ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically activat-
ed when the car is started and cannot be
de-activated.FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected and the warn-
ing light
áwill turn on glowing steadily on
the instrument panel, together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
ESP SYSTEM INITIALISATION
(after disconnecting the battery)
After reconnecting the battery, to restore
regular operation of the ESP system, pro-
ceed as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise (to
pass through position “straight
wheels”);
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
back to MAR.
A few seconds later the warning light will
turn off; if it stays on contact Fiat Dealer-
ship.
These operations can also be performed
with the engine on.
During the use of the space-
saver spare wheel, the ESP
system carries on working. However,
you must remind that the space-saver
spare wheel has dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore
its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the
ESP system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.

ASR SYSTEM
(Antislip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESP system, it
controls car drive and cuts in automati-
cally every time one or both driving
wheels slip.
According to slipping conditions, two dif-
ferent control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both the driving
wheels, the ASR function intervenes re-
ducing the power transmitted by the
engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping.
The action of the ASR is particularly help-
ful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).Switching on/off of the ASR system
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching on/off is indicated by the rele-
vant message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
When travelling ASR can be switched off
and on again pressing switch A-fig. 123
on the central console.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
switch and by the relevant message on the
display (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.
The performance of the sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.

Failure indications
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light
áwill come on with
fixed light on the instrument panel to-
gether with the message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”). In this case contact Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible. MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
The car is fitted with a special system, in-
tegral with the ASR system, that in case of
sudden gear shifting, cuts in providing
torque to the engine thus preventing ex-
cessive driving wheel drive that, specially
in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of
stability.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car correlated with
emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
warning light
Uon the instrument pan-
el (together with the message on the dis-
play) (see section “Warning lights and
messages”), when these components are
no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions lev-
els to increase;
❒warn of the need to replace deterio-
rated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connec-
tor that can be interfaced with appropri-
ate tools, which makes it possible to read
the error codes stored in the control unit,
together with a series of specific parame-
ters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
When using the spare wheel,
the ASR system is excluded
and the warning light
áon the in-
strument panel turns on glowing
steadily together with the message on
the display (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
WARNING
For correct operation of the
ASR system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To connect/disconnect the CITY function,
push the button A-fig. 125located on the
central tunnel on the side of the gearbox
control lever.
Connection of this function is reported by
the word CITY on the “Multifunction dis-
play”.
When the CITY function is on the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by warning light
gcoming on (together with the message on
the display) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT Under certain circum-
stances, factors independent from the
electric power steering could cause the il-
lumination of the warning light
gon the
instrument panel. We suggest to stop im-
mediately the car, turn off the engine for
about 20 seconds and then re-start the
car. If the warning light
gstays on (to-
gether with the message on the display),
contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The electrical power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 126(saloon versions) and
fig. 127 (Multi Wagon versions) and their
function is to inform the driver, through
an intermittent buzzer, about the pres-
ence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
Sensors are automatically activated when
the reverse gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind
the car decreases, the acoustic alarm be-
comes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of dis-
tance between the car and the obstacle
decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less
that 30 cm and stops immediately if the
distance raises.
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried.
If this situation takes place for side sen-
sors, the signal is stopped after about 3
seconds to prevent sound indications
when performing manoeuvres near
walls.
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with homolo-
gation requirements.
WARNING
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steer-
ing lock before carrying out any main-
tenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running), re-
move the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-
el tank filler is too small to introduce a lead
petrol pump filler. Use petrol with a rat-
ed octane number (R.O.N.) not lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.DIESEL ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel filter.
In order to avoid these problems, different
types of diesel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type arc-
tic type (mountains/cold areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for
the current temperature, mix diesel fuel
with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting first
the antifreeze in the tank and then the
diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car is
used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period. In this event you
are recommended to keep an amount of
fuel higher than 50% in the tank.The car must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures
may irreparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warranty due
to the damage caused. In the event of
accidentally filling with another type
of fuel, do not start the engine and
empty the tank. If the engine has been
run even for only a very short time, in
addition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
