REV COUNTER fig. 12
The rev counter shows the number of engine rpm.
WARNING The electronic injection control system grad-
ually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is over-
revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase in the rate.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate con-
trol system or fan. In such cases, a slight increase in en-
gine idle speed helps to sustain the battery charge.INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type may vary ac-
cording to the version.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant and
starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds ap-
prox. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the mid-
dle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the multi-
function display may appear on certain versions) to indi-
cate that the coolant temperature is too high; in this case,
stop the engine and contact the Fiat Service Network. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
Warning light A comes on to indicate that approximately
8-10 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
WARNING The needle will point to E and warning light
A will flash to indicate a fault in the system. If this is the
case, go to the Fiat Service Network to have the system
checked.
If the needle enters the red zone, switch off
the engine immediately and contact the
Fiat Service Network.

Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, put the left lever in the
temporary position for less than half a second. The direc-
tion indicator on the side selected will flash five times and
then go out automatically.
“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This device lights up the space in front of the vehicle for
a short time.
Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position or extracted,
pull the lever towards the steering wheel and move it with-
in 2 minutes of the engine switching off.
Each time the lever is moved, the lights stay on for an ex-
tra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds; then the
lights are switched off automatically.
Each time the lever is moved, warning light 3 on the in-
strument panel comes on and the corresponding mes-
sage will appear on the display (see “Warning lights and
messages”) for as long as the function remains on. The
warning light comes on when the lever is operated and
stays on until the function is automatically deactivated. Each
movement of the lever only increases the amount of time
the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the lever pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than two seconds. DIRECTION INDICATORS fig. 46
Place the lever in the (stable) position:
❒up (position 1): activation of right direction indicator;
❒down (position 2): activation of left direction indicator.
The
¥or Îwarning lights will come on intermittently in
the instrument panel.
Direction indicators switch off automatically when the ve-
hicle is back in a straight line.
If you want the indicator to flash briefly to show that you
are about to change lane, move the lever up or down with-
out it clicking into position. When released, the lever will
return to its default position.

F0V0054mfig. 47
Move the lever to position A-fig. 47 (temporary position)
to limit operation to the time for which the lever is held
in this position. When released, the lever will return to
its default position and the wiper will be automatically
stopped. With the twist switch at
≤, the windscreen wiper
will automatically adapt to the speed of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers working, the rear window
wiper is automatically activated when reverse gear is en-
gaged.
WINDOW CLEANING
The right lever fig. 47 controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation (for ver-
sions/markets where provided).
WINDSCREEN WIPER/WASHER
This operates only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
The right lever can assume four different positions:
Owindscreen wiper off.
≤intermittent operation.
≥continuous slow operation.
¥continuous fast operation.
Do not use the windscreen wipers to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the windscreen
wipers may be subjected to excessive stress and the
motor protection which prevents operation for
a few seconds may trip. If the issue persists, contact
the Fiat Service Network.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel (temporary po-
sition) to operate the screen washer jet. Keeping the lever
pulled for more than half a second, with just one move-
ment it is possible to operate the washer jet and the wiper
at the same time. The wiper stops working three strokes
after releasing the lever.
A further stroke after approximately six seconds com-
pletes the wiping cycle.

INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the
vehicle by aftersales must carry the following label:
FGA S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceiving de-
vices provided that they are installed by a specialised cen-
tre according to rules of good engineering practice and
in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING Traffic authorities may not allow the vehicle
on the road if devices are fitted that modify vehicle spec-
ifications. This may also invalidate the warranty in rela-
tion to faults caused by the change or either directly or in-
directly related to it.
FGA S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the in-
stallation of accessories either not supplied or recom-
mended by FGA S.p.A. and/or not installed in compliance
with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radiotransmitting apparatus (e.g. car mobile phones, CB
radios etc.) should not be used inside the vehicle unless
a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
❒two rear speakers (located next to the parcel shelf)
(for versions/markets where provided);
❒radio compartment;
❒aerial lead;
❒aerial.
RADIO INSTALLATION
The sound system must be installed in the space occu-
pied by the centre glove compartment where you will find
the wiring. Press tabs A-fig. 108 to remove the compart-
ment.
To connect to the existing wiring in the ve-
hicle, contact the Fiat Service Network to
prevent any problems that could impair vehicle
safety.

REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the pump
switches off. Further top ups could cause faults in the fu-
el supply system. If using/parking the vehicle in mountainous/cold areas for
a long time, you should refuel with locally available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused. If you ac-
cidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel supply system emptied
in addition to the tank.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 109
To open
1) Open the flap A-fig. 109 by pulling it outwards, keep the
cap B still, insert the ignition key in the lock and turn it an-
ticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it. The cap has
a device C that attaches it to the flap so it cannot be lost.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the flap as illustrated
in the diagram.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
It is needed to eliminate almost all carbon particles in com-
pliance with current/future legislation. During normal use
of the vehicle, the engine management control unit records
a set of data (e.g. journey time, type of route, tempera-
tures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much particu-
late has been trapped by the filter.Since the filter is a collecting system, it should be regular-
ly regenerated (cleaned) by burning the carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by
the engine management control unit according to the fil-
ter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a limited in-
crease in the engine speed, activation of the fan, a limited
increase in fumes and high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle perfor-
mance or damage the environment. If the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed, refer to the “Warning lights and mes-
sages” section.

INDEXIf you are having the vehicle scrapped, have the airbag sys-
tem deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle
changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of
the method of use of the airbags and the above warnings
and also be given this “Owner’s Handbook”.
Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags are de-
ployed differently according to the type of collision. Non-
deployment of one or more of these devices does not
therefore indicate a system fault.
If the warning light ¬does not turn on
when the key is turned to MAR, or if it
stays on when travelling (together with the mes-
sage on the display on some versions), there could
be a failure in the restraint systems. If this is the
case, the airbags or pretensioners may not trig-
ger in the event of an accident or, less likely, they
may trigger accidentally. Before continuing your
journey, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked immediately.
WARNING
The expiry dates of the pyrotechnic
charge and spiral contact are shown on
the label in the glove box. When these dates ap-
proach, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the parts
replaced.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on your lap, in
front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil,
etc. between your lips; serious injury may result
if the airbag is triggered.
