play will show the engine oil amount by
displaying five symbols.
F0N1017g
Few seconds after, engine oil amount sym-
bols will disappear from the display, and:
❒if scheduled servicing interval is near
to come, the display will show the dis-
tance to cover and the instrument
panel warning light õwill turn on.
When reaching the scheduled servic-
ing interval the display will show some
dashes.
❒then, if engine oil change interval is
near to come, the display will show on
the top of the screen the distance to
cover to next oil change together with
message “OIL” displayed on the bot-
tom of the screen. When reaching the
scheduled servicing interval the display
will show five dashes.
Versions with multifunction display
Turning the ignition key to MARthe dis-
play will show the oil level by the turning
on/off of five symbols.
F0N1018g
Partial gradual turning off of the symbols
indicates oil decrease.
The oil level is correct when 4 or 5 sym-
bols are turned on. If the fifth symbol does
not turn on, it shall not be considered as
a failure or low oil level in the sump.
When the oil level falls below the preset
limit the display will show the dedicated
message to warn the driver that topping
up is required.
IMPORTANT Proper engine oil level shall
however be checked by means of the dip-
stick (see paragraph “Checking levels” in
section “Vehicle maintenance”).

ceeded. Displayed image will stay on for
approx. 5 seconds after disengaging re-
verse. GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Visible range
The visible range varies according to ve-
hicle conditions (including full load con-
dition), vehicle characteristics and weath-
er conditions (daylight, rain, snow and fog);
with poor light or in full load conditions
the range of visibility may be reduced.
The camera covers a range of approx. 3
m length and approx. 5.5 m max. width
fig. 105.Instructions for use
To clean the camera use a soft cloth when
the protecting glass is dirty or frozen (out-
side). Never use other tools for cleaning
it to prevent scratching the glass.
To clean the display use also a dry soft
cloth. Dust can be removed using proper
brushes provided for the purpose. Nev-
er use detergents.
The display glass may break if blown. In
this event do not touch the leaking fluid.
Rinse immediately with water and soap in
case of accidental contact.

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.
fig. 125F0N0067m
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
It works with ignition key at MARand
dipped beams on. When the vehicle is
loaded, it slopes backwards. This means
that the headlight beam rises. In this case,
it is necessary to return it to the correct
position.To adjust the headlight slant
fig. 125
Press buttons Òand set on the con-
trol panel.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el, provides the visual indication of the po-
sitions during the adjustment operation.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.
ADJUSTING THE FRONT FOG
LIGHTS (where provided)
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the
vehicle is marketed. In countries with op-
posite circulation, to avoid glaring on-
coming vehicles, it is necessary to cover
the areas of the headlight using a special
sticker tape provided for the purpose.

HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
Observe the following:
❒always use the belt with the tap taut
and never twisted; make sure that it
is free to run without impediments;
❒after a serious accident, replace the
belt being worn at that time, even if it
does not appear damaged. Always re-
place the seat belts if pretensioners
have been activated;
❒to clean the belts, wash by hand with
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in
the shade. Never use strong deter-
gents, bleach or dyes or other chem-
ical substance that might weaken the
fibres;
❒prevent the reels from getting wet:
their correct operation is only guar-
anteed if water does not get inside;
❒replace the seat belt when showing
significant wear or cut signs.For optimal protection in the event of a
crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, their head is pro-
portionally larger and heavier than the rest
of the body, while the muscles and bone
structure are not completely developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are
necessary, other than adult seat belts. The
results of research on the best child re-
straint systems are contained in the Euro-
pean Standard EEC-R44. This Standard en-
forces the use of restraint systems classi-
fied in five groups:Group 0 0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weight
As it may be noted, the groups overlap
partly and in fact, in commerce it is pos-
sible to find devices that cover more than
one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the certi-
fication data, together with the control
brand, on a solidly fixed label which must
absolutely never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
