EMISSION-REDUCING DEVICES (Multijet engines)
Oxidising catalytic converter
It is used to convert the polluting substances in the exhaust gases (carbon oxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and
particulate) into harmless substances by reducing the smoke opacity index and the typical smell of exhaust gases
produced by diesel engines.
The catalyst converter comprises a stainless steel metal enclosure which contains a ceramic honey-comb body on which
the noble metal, having a catalyst function, is installed.
Exhaust gas recirculation system (E.G.R.)
It is used to recirculate, i.e. recycle, a portion of the exhaust gases in percentage terms that change according to the
engine operating conditions.
When necessary, it is used to check the emissions of nitrogen oxides.

The function is enabled when the pas-
senger compartment needs to be
heated as quickly as possible, thus us-
ing the system operating capacity at
best. This function uses the heating
fluid at max. temperature; air distri-
bution and fan speed are managed by
the system based on the existing con-
ditions.
Specifically, if the heating fluid is not
sufficiently warm, the fan will not
start up at the maximum speed im-
mediately to limit introduction of ex-
cessively cool air into the passenger
compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed
when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply turn
the temperature knob anticlockwise
and set the required temperature.
❒FunctionLO(max. cooling):
select by turning the temperature
knob anticlockwise under the mini-
mum value (16 °C). This function is
activated from either the driver’s or
front passenger’s side or both (even by
selecting function MONO). This function has been included to
make temperature regulation easier
inside the passenger compartment
when the driver is the only passenger.
For separate management of temper-
atures and air distribution in the two
different areas of the passenger com-
partment, turn knobs Hor press but-
tonA-MONOagain when the LED on
the button is on.
Turn the knobs either all the way
right or left to the extreme HIorLO
position to use the maximum heating
or maximum cooling functions:
❒FunctionHI(max. heating):
select by turning the temperature
knob clockwise over the maximum
value (32 °C). This function is acti-
vated from either the driver’s or front
passenger’s side or both (even by se-
lecting function MONO). CONTROLS

Rotate the knobs
clockwise or anti-

area (knob N) and
right left area (knob

compartment respec-
tively.
As the system manages two zones in
the passenger compartment, the driver
and front passenger can set different
temperature values with a maximum
difference of 7 °C.
The temperature values set are high-
lighted on the display near the knobs.
Press button A(MONO) to automat-
ically align the temperature of the air
in the front passenger’s area and that
on the driver’s side. This means that
the same temperature can be set in
the two areas by turning knob Non
the driver’s side.

Pressing these but-

the five possible air
distribution modes to
the passenger com-
partment (right or

▲air flow to the windscreen and
front side window vents to demist
or defrost them;
˙air flow at central and side dash-
board vents to ventilate the chest
and the face during the hot season;
▼air flow to the front and rear foot
well vents. Thanks to the natural
upwards movement of heat, this
type of distribution is the quickest
for heating the passenger com-
partment offering the passenger(s)
a prompt feeling of heated air.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICE INSTALLATION
The electric/electronic devices in-
stalled subsequent to the purchase of
the car and included in the after-sales
service must be marked:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the in-
stallation of transceiver devices on
condition that such installations are
carried out in a workmanlike fashion,
following the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, at a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not
allow the car on the road in the event
of assembly of devices which imply
modifications to the features of the
car. This may also cause lapse of war-
ranty in relation to faults caused by
the change or either directly or indi-
rectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation of
accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A.
and/or installed in compliance with
the provided instructions.“DUALDRIVE”
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electri-
cally controlled power steering system
called “Dualdrive” working only with
ignition key at MARand engine run-
ning, that can be customised by the
driver according to the driving condi-
tions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To enable/disable the function, press
the button fig. 119located on the
central area of the instrument dash-
board.
The enabling of the function is sig-
nalled by the displaying of the word
CITY on the multifunctional display.
With CITY function on, wheel effort
is lighter, easing parking manoeuvres:
The function is particularly helpful
while driving in city centres. TRANSCEIVERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-
tacs mobile phones, HAM radio sys-
tems and the like) shall not be used
inside the car unless a separate aerial
is mounted on the roof.
The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without sep-
arate aerial) produces radio-frequency
electromagnetic fields which, ampli-
fied by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause
electrical systems equipping the car to
malfunction. This could compromise
safety in addition to constituting a po-
tential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and recep-
tion of these devices may be affected
by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly
comply with the instructions for use
provided by the mobile phone’s man-
ufacturer.

The weight of the trailer on the car tow
hook reduces of the same value the load
capacity of the car. Consider the weight
of the car at full load, including acces-
sories and luggage to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the log book).
Respect the speed limits specific for
each country for vehicles towing trail-
ers. In all cases, the top speed must
not exceed 100 km/h.
The ABS with which the
car is equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Take specific care when
travelling on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully indepen-
dent from the hydraulic system of
the car.
WARNING
INSTALLING THE
TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or in-
tegrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to
94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device
used must match the towable weight
of the car on which it is to be in-
stalled.
For the electric connection a unified
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing de-
vice, and a special ECU for external
trailer light control shall be installed
on the car. For the electrical connection, 7 or 13
pin 12VDC connection is to be used
(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Stan-
dards). Follow the instructions pro-
vided by the car manufacturer and/or
the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied
directly by the battery through a ca-
ble with a cross section of no less than
2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other
device shall be used with running en-
gine.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the car’s electric system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15W.
For connections use the preset control
unit with battery cable no less than
2.5 mm
