MANUAL DEACTIVATION
OF FRONT AND SIDE CHEST/
PELVIS PASSENGER AIRBAGS
(for versions/markets where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on
the front seat, the passenger’s front and
side chest/pelvis airbags (for versions/ mar-
kets where provided) must be deactivated.
The warning light on the instrument pan-
el stays on steadily until the passenger’s
front and side chest airbags (for versions/
markets where provided) are re-activated.
WARNING: Do not put child
seats facing backwards on
the front seat if the passen-
ger’s airbag is enabled
(ON). Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could
cause fatal injuries to the baby.
Should it be absolutely necessary to
place a child seat on the front seat,
always deactivate the passenger
airbag. Also, the passenger seat
should be as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat
and the dashboard. Although this is
not mandatory by law, the airbag
should be immediately reactivated
when children are no longer carried
to ensure better protection for adults.
WARNING
To manually deactivate the
passenger’s front and side
chest/pelvis airbags (for versions/mar -
kets where provided), refer to para-
graphs “Digital display” and “Mul -
tifunction display” in the section
“Dashboard and controls”.

STARTING
AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINE
The car is fitted with an electronic engine
lock device: if the engine fails to start, see
the paragraph on “The Fiat CODE sys-
tem” in the “Dashboard and controls”
section.
The engine may be noisier during the first
few seconds of operation, particularly af-
ter a long period of inactivity. This is a fea-
ture of hydraulic tappets, the timing sys-
tem chosen to reduce the number of
servicing interventions, and effects neither
functionality nor reliability.
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full car performance
(e.g. excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp brak-
ing etc.).
When the engine is switched
off, never leave the key in
the ignition switch to prevent
draining the battery.
It is dangerous to have the
engine running indoors. The
engine consumes oxygen and pro-
duces carbon dioxide, carbon monox-
ide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the brake
booster and power steering
are not operational until the engine
has been started, therefore you need
to apply much more force than usu-
al to the brake pedal and steering
wheel.
WARNING
STARTING PROCEDURE
FOR PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is on;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way down
without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVand re-
lease it the moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating the starting procedure.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light
Udoes not light up
when the key is turned to
MAR or if, while travelling, it either
comes on permanently or flashes
(along with a message on the display
on some versions). The operation of the
Uwarning light may be checked by
traffic police using appropriate equip-
ment. Respect the regulations in force
in the country where you are driving.
If the light flashes, come off the accelera-
tor pedal to reduce engine revs until the
warning light stops flashing; continue the
journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further
flashing, and get to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible. EOBD engine control
system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the warning light turns
on but it should go off after the engine
starts. This indicates that the warning light
is working correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on while travelling:
❒on permanently: this means there is
a fault in the supply/ignition system
which could cause high exhaust emis-
sions, loss of performance, poor han-
dling and high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can
continue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause damage.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble. The warning light goes out after the
fault disappears, but the indication is
stored in the system.
❒flashing: this indicates possible damage
to the catalytic converter (see “EOBD
system” in the “Dashboard and con-
trols” section). INJECTION SYSTEM

EOBD SYSTEM FAULT
(petrol versions – amber)
Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the warning light turns
on but it should go off after the engine
starts.
If the warning light stays on or comes on
when travelling, it means there is a fault in
the injection system which could cause
loss of performance, poor handling and
high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can
continue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. In any case, you should go to
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
