When the car is parked on a steep
slope the reel mechanism may block;
this is normal. The reel mechanism
prevents the webbing coming out
when it is jerked or if the car brakes
sharply, as in a collision or when cor-
nering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial
seat belts with three anchor points
and reel.
CENTRAL REAR SEAT
For versions /markets where ap-
plicable the centre seat, if any, is
fitted with lap belt with two an-
chor points. To unfasten the seat belts, press but-
ton D. Guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent
it from twisting.SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
chest straight and rested against the
seat back.
Take hold the tongue B-fig. 5and
insert it into the buckle C, until hear-
ing the locking click.
If it jams, let it rewind for a short
stretch, then pull it out again without
jerking.

Do not press button D
when running.
Through the reel, the belt automat-
ically adapts to the body of the pas-
senger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.

When the reserve warning light
comes on A-fig. 21 there are still
about 7 litres of fuel in the tank.
E -tank empty.
F -tank full (see the indications given
in paragraph “At the filling station").
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

ENGINE CONTROL
SYSTEM FAILURE
(EOBD) (amber)
In normal conditions, the warning
light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to MARand should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.
If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
1. Fixed light- warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which may
increase emissions in exhaust or cause
possible drops in performance, poor
handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warn-
ing light on can cause damage. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealershipas soon as
possible.
The warning light will go out when
the failure disappears. In any case, the
system will store the error.
U
2. Flashing- warning that the catal-
yser can be damaged (see
EOBD SYSTEM
in this chapter).
If the warning light starts flashing, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing. Continue driving at moderate
speed, preventing the warning light
from coming on again. Contact a Fiat
Dealershipas soon as possible.
Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the
Uwarning light ei-
ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes
on, with fixed or flashing light,
when travelling.
FIAT CODE
(amber)
The warning light will
come on the three cases when the
key is at MAR:
1.Single flash - indicates that the
key code has been recognised. The
engine can be started.
2.Fixed light - the key code has not
been recognised. Follow the emer-
gency procedure to start the engine
(see
IN AN EMERGENCY).
3.Flashing light - indicates that the
car is not protected by the immo-
biliser system. The engine can how-
ever be started.

Press button (.
We recommend you switch the de-
vice off as soon as the window is
demisted.Do not place stickers on
the heated rear window
filaments, this could gen-
erate a short-circuit with possi-
ble overheating and rear window
explosion.

IMPORTANTIf the outside air is
very damp, if it is raining and/or if
there is a considerable difference be-
tween the inside and outside temper-
ature, prevent the windows from
misting up as follows:
– slider at

– air temperature knob in the red
sector;
– fan on 2

trol, adjust the controls as described
above and press the √button.

RECIRCULATION
When the slider Dis in position
Tonly air already inside the pas-
senger compartment is recirculated.
IMPORTANTThis function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air is
heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel etc.). You are advised against us-
ing this function for long periods how-
ever, especially if there are a lot of
people in the car. Do not use the re-
circulation function during cold/wet
weather as this will increase the like-
lihood of the windows misting up.
MANUAL CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
The climate control system is ad-
justed manually.
CONTROLS fig. 35
Switch E automatically sets the fan
to the 1
stspeed.
A- Air temperature knob (mixing
hot and cold air).
B- Fan knob.
C- Air distribution knob.
D- Air recirculation slider. IMPORTANTWhen the outside
temperature is very high, the air will
be cooled more quickly if the air re-
circulation function is turned on. This
function is also particularly useful
when the outside air is heavily pol-
luted (in a traffic jam, tunnel etc.). You
are advised against using this function
for long periods however, especially if
there are a lot of people in the car.
E- Climate control on/off switch.
The system uses refrig-
erating fluid R134a which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment if it accidentally leaks.
Under no circumstances should
fluid R12 be used as this is in-
compatible with the system’s
component parts.

CLIMATE CONTROL
(Cooling)
1)Air temperature knob A-fig. 35:
pointer in the blue sector.
2)Climate control: press button √E.
3)Slider D: at T.
4)Fan knob B: pointer at required
speed.
5)Air distribution knob C: pointer
at ¥.
To decrease cooling effects: set
pointer to
U, increase temperature
and decrease fan speed.
For normal heating and ventila-
tion , do not use the manual climate
control system. Use the normal heat-
ing and ventilation system instead (see
following chapter).IMPORTANTThe manual climate
control system is very useful for
speeding up the demising process be-
cause it dries the air. Simply adjust the
controls for the demistingfunction
(see previous section) and switch the
manual climate control system on by
pressing knob √. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
During the winter, the climate con-
trol system must be turned on at least
once a month for about ten minutes.
Have the system and pollen filter ef-
ficiency checked before the summer
at a Fiat Dealership.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should
R12 fluid be used as it is incom-
patible with the system compo-
nents and contains CFC.
