ABS SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an integral part of the braking system, which pre-
vents one or more wheels from locking or slipping re-
gardless of the road surface conditions and braking action,
giving the best control during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution)
completes the system, allowing the braking action to be
distributed between the front and rear wheels.
WARNING For maximum efficiency of the braking sys-
tem, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: dur-
ing this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and pro-
longed braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be al-
tered to suit the type of road surface. Headlamp alignment adjustment
To adjust, press buttons Òandfig. 100 on the control
panel.
The display located on the instrument panel provides the
visual indication of the positions during the adjustment op-
eration.
Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.
Position 1 – five people.
Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed in
the luggage compartment.
WARNING Check the light beam alignment every time
the load transported changes.
FOG LIGHT DIRECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlamps are adjusted to work in the coun-
try where the vehicle was originally purchased. When in
countries where you drive on the other side of the road,
you need to alter the light beam direction by affixing a spe-
cially designed self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle the
vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. This film is
provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
When the ABS intervenes and you notice
the brake pedal pulsating, do not be afraid
to keep the pedal pushed down. This will help you
to stop in the shortest distance possible, depend-
ing on the road conditions.

INDEXDegraded engine oil should be replaced
as soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km after it
first comes on. Failure to change the oil within the
first 500 km may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember
that when the warning light comes on, it does not
mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if the
light flashes you do not need to top up the en-
gine oil.
WARNING
SEAT BELT NOT FASTENED (red)
The warning light on the panel comes on steadi-
ly when the vehicle is stationary and the driver’s
seat belt is not correctly fastened. It will flash, and
be accompanied by an audible warning, if the front seat belts
are not correctly fastened when the vehicle is moving.
The SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system’s audible warning
can be disabled only by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions, the system can be reactivated from
the setup menu.
<
DOOR OPEN (red)
On certain versions, the warning light turns on
when one or more doors, the boot or the bon-
net are not properly closed.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
You will hear a warning sound if a door is open and the
vehicle is moving.
ENGINE OIL LOW
(red)
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on but it should go off after a few
seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the engine
oil level falls below the minimum recommended value.
Restore the correct engine oil level (see “Checking fluid
levels” in the “Servicing and maintenance” section).
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
