Values displayed
Range
Indicates the travel distance left before the
vehicle runs out of the fuel in the tank.
The message “----” will appear on the dis-
play in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle left parked with engine running
for long.
IMPORTANT Changes of the range value
can be affected by many factors: driving
style (see paragraph “Driving style” in sec-
tion “Starting and driving”), type of route
(motorway, urban cycle, mountain roads,
etc…), conditions of use of the vehicle
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes.Trip distance
Indicates the distance covered from the
start of a new mission.
Average consumption
Represents the approximate average con-
sumption from the start of a new mission.
Instant consumption
Indicates the fuel consumption. The val-
ue is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the ve-
hicle is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
Represents the vehicle average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of a new mission.Trip time
Indicates the time elapsed since the start
of a new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “----” will appear instead
of the Trip Computer values. Counting of
the different values will be resumed reg-
ularly when normal operation is restored.
This will not cause any resetting of the val-
ues displayed before the failure nor start-
ing a new mission.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
FRONT fig. 26
Head restraints are adjustable in height
and they lock automatically in the required
position.
❒Upward adjustment Raise the head re-
straint until you hear it click in position.
❒Downward adjustment Press button A
and lower the head restraint.
fig. 26F0T0053m
Perform these operations
only when the car is stationary
and the engine is not running.
Remember that the head restraints
should be adjusted to support the
back of your head and not your neck.
Only in this position do they exert
their protective action.
To optimise head restraint protective
action, adjust the backrest upright
and keep your head as close as
possible to the head restraint.
WARNINGREAR HEAD RESTRAINTS
(where provided) fig. 27
Lift the rear head restraints to use them.
To bring the head restraint back to its
non-use position, press buttons Aand
push the head restraint down into the
backrest.
To extract the head restraint, raise it un-
til hearing the click (position of use) indi-
cating that it has come all the way out.
IMPORTANT During travel rear seat pas-
sengers must always set the head re-
straints in the “all the way out” position.

WARNING
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-

sage “Fuel cut-off tripped - see handbook”
is displayed on some versions.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks,
for instance in the engine compartment
below the vehicle or near the fuel tank
area.
After the collision, position ignition key on
STOPto avoid battery draining.To reset vehicle operation, follow this
procedure:
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒activate the right-hand indicator;
❒deactivate the right-hand indicator;
❒activate the left-hand indicator;
❒deactivate the left-hand indicator;
❒activate the right-hand indicator;
❒deactivate the right-hand indicator;
❒activate the left-hand indicator;
❒deactivate the left-hand indicator;
❒turn the ignition key to STOP.
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or notice leaks from the
fuel system, do not reset the system
to avoid fire risk.

If warning light xonly lights

(with a message on the display in
some versions), immediately stop the
vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic flu-

EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the instru-
ment panel (together with the dedicated
message on the display in some versions)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP)
(where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
brake circuit thus supporting the driver to
obtain prompt and effective braking.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by warning light
áswitching on together with the message
on the multifunction display, where pro-
vided).
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 sur-
faces changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, (where provided) also the
MSR system (adjusting the engine braking
torque) and the HBA system (improving
the braking force during emergency brak-
ing) are provided.
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.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
