STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is up. Put the gearbox in neutral. Press the clutch pedal fully without pressing
the accelerator. At this point:
petrol engines: turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
diesel engines:turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the warning lights ¢(Y) and mto go off; turn
the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation, Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is equipped with a system for continuously monitoring emissions control system components to
ensure environmental-friendlier running.

20GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you try to turn it. This
also applies when the vehicle is
being towed.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steer-
ing column modifications (e.g.: in-
stallation of anti-theft device)
that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the vehicle
with homologation require-
ments.
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 4 different
positions fig. 26:
– STOP:engine off, key can be re-
moved, steering column locked. Some
electrical devices can be worked (e.g.
sound system, electric window
winders).
– MAR: drive position. All electrical
devices can be used.
– AVV: engine ignition.
– PARK:engine off, parking lights
on, steering column locked. Press but-
ton Aand turn the key to PARK.

WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Turning on of warning light is ac-
companied by specific message and/or
by buzzer sound where provided by
instrument panel. These indications
are concise and cautionaryand
shall not be considered as exhaustive
and/or as an alternative to the speci-
fications contained in this Owner
Handbook which shall always be read
through carefully and thoroughly. In
case of failure indication always re-
fer to the specifications contained
in this section.
IMPORTANTFailure indications
displayed are divided into two cate-
gories: very serious and less seri-
ousfailures.
Very seriousfailures are indicated
by a warning “cycle” repeated until fail-
ure is eliminated.
Less seriousfailures are indicated
by a limited warning “cycle”.The warning cycle of both failure cat-
egories can be stopped by pressing
button MODE. The instrument pan-
el warning light will stay on until elim-
inating the fault.
LOW BRAKE
FLUID LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON
(red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go
off after few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the
level of the brake fluid in the reservoir
falls below the minimum level, due to
possible leak in the circuit.
x
On certain versions the dedicated
message is displayed.
If the warning light
x
turns on when travelling
(on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the
display) stop the vehicle immedi-
ately and contact Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the
handbrake is on.
On certain versions, if the vehicle is
moving the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANTIf the warning light
turns on when travelling, check that
the handbrake is not engaged.

HEATED REAR
WINDOW (amber)
The warning light turns
on when switching the heated rear
window on.

The presence of water in
the fuel circuit may cause
serious damage to the en-
tire injection system and cause ir-
regular engine operation. If the
warning light
cor èturns on
(on certain versions together
with the message on the display)
contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible to have the system re-
lieved. If the above indications
come on immediately after refu-
elling, water has probably been
poured into the tank: turn the en-
gine off immediately and contact
Fiat Dealership.
¢Y(
EXTERNAL LIGHT
FAILURE (amber)
The warning light turns on
when one of the following
lights is failing:
– sidelights

FAILURE -
FIAT CODE
(amber)
Turning the key to MARthe warn-
ing light shall flash only once and then
go off.
If with the ignition key at MAR, the
warning light stays on, this indicates a
possible failure (see “Fiat Code sys-
tem” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).
IMPORTANTThe turning on at
the same time of the warning lights
U
and Yindicates a failure of the Fiat
CODE system.
If with the engine running the warn-
ing light
Uflashes, this means that
the vehicle is not protected by the en-
gine inhibitor device (see “Fiat Code
system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”).
Contact Fiat Dealership to have all
the key memorised.

79GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
When using the boot,
make sure the load you
are carrying does not ex-
ceed the permitted weight (see
“Technical specifications”). Also
ensure the items in the boot are
arranged properly to prevent
them being thrown forwards and
injuring passengers should you
brake sharply. Do not travel with
the tailgate open: exhaust gas
could filter into the passenger
compartment.
If you are travelling in
areas where refuelling
can be difficult and you
want to carry a can of petrol, fol-
low the law in force. Use a ho-
mologated can and secure it ad-
equately. Even given these pre-
cautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
Do not use the key as a
handle to open the tail-
gate. You could damage
it.
The opening of the boot is made eas-
ier by the gas-filed struts on each side.
IMPORTANTFit the key well into
the lock before turning it.
You will be able to open the tailgate
with the key only if you remove the
key from the lock after turning it by 45
degrees.
To close, lower the tailgate until the
lock clicks.
CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
SYSTEM
From the outside
With the doors closed, fit and turn
the key in one of the front door locks.IMPORTANTAdjust the height of
the dipped headlight beam when trav-
elling at night with a rather heavy load
in the boot (see “Headlights” in this
chapter).
Make sure the load does not exceed
the values shown in “Weights” para-
graph, “Technical specifications” chap-
ter for correct operation of the head-
light adjustment device.
Do not knock the tail-
gate into objects on the
roof rack when you open
it.

89GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
ABS
The vehicle can be fitted with an ABS
braking system, which prevents the
wheels from locking when braking,
makes the most of road grip and gives
the best control when emergency
braking under difficult road conditions.
The driver can tell the ABS system
has come into play because the brake
pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier.
This should not be interpreted as a
fault in the brakes; on the contrary it
is a sign that the ABS system is work-
ing: it tells the driver that the vehicle
is travelling at the limit of its road grip
and that he should alter his speed to
fit the type of road surface.
The ABS system is an addition to the
basic braking system. If there is a mal-
function, the system turns off auto-
matically and only the ordinary brakes
continue to work.If a failure occurs, and consequently
the anti-lock function is not effective,
the braking system will continue to
work as usual.
If you have never driven a vehicle
with ABS before, you should practice
using the system on slippery terrain,
obviously with the necessary safety
precautions and keeping to the High-
way Code of the country you are in.
It is also a good idea to read the fol-
lowing information carefully.
The advantage in using the ABS sys-
tem is that it continues to give you
maximum manoeuvrability even when
braking hard in conditions of poor grip
by preventing the wheels locking.
You should, however, not expect the
braking distance to always decrease:
for example surfaces with gravel or
fresh snow on a slippery road will in
fact increase the braking distance. Correct positions as a function
of the load
0- one or two occupants in the
front seats.
1- five occupants.
2- five occupants + load in boot.
3- driver + maximum permissible
load stowed in boot.
Check the headlight
beam position every time
you change the load to be
carried.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
Headlights are orientated as to drive
inside the country of origin before sell-
ing the vehicle. When travelling in
countries with opposite driving direc-
tion, you need to cover the headlight
areas according to the Road Code of
the country you are travelling in.
