If warning light xonly lights
up on the instrument panel
(with a message on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display, where pro-
vided), stop the car immediately and
go to the nearest Fiat Dealership.
Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the
braking system will compromise func-
tionality of the braking system, either
of the conventional type or with ABS.
WARNINGEOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car correlated with
emissions. It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the warning light
Uon the in-
strument panel (together with relevant
message on the multifunctional display,
where provided) (see section “Warning
lights and messages”), when these condi-
tions are no longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions
levels to increase;
❒warn of the need to replace deterio-
rated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connec-
tor that can be interfaced with appropri-
ate tools, which makes it possible to read
the error codes stored in the control unit
together with a series of specific parame-
ters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may also call for a long journey. Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light
Ueither does not light
up when the key is turned to
MAR to if while travelling the warning
lights comes on either steady or blink-
ing (along with a message on the mul-
tifunctional display, where provided).
The operation of warning light
Umay
be checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are dri-
ving.
GSI SYSTEM
(for versions with
mechanical gearbox
only)
(where provided)
The gear shift indication makes it possible,
on cars with a manual gearbox, to suggest
the driver should change gear (higher gear:
shift up, see Fig. 1or lower gear: shift
down, see Fig. 2), through a dedicated in-
dication in the control panel. This sugges-
tion to change gear is designed to improve
consumption and ensure the best driving
style.
NOTE: the indication in the instrument
panel remains on until the driver makes
a gear change or until the driving condi-
tions return to a situation where a gear
change is not required to improve con-
sumption.

USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch pe-
dal fully and shift the gear lever into one
of the required positions (the diagram is
shown on the knob).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be enga-
ged when the car is at a standstill. With
the engine running, wait for at least 2 se-
conds with the clutch pedal fully pressed
before engaging reverse to prevent da-
mage to the gears and grating.
To engage 6th gear (where provided),
operate the lever by pressing it towards
the right in order to avoid engaging 4th
gear by mistake. The same applies to shif-
ting from 6th to 5th gear.
To engage reverse Rfrom idle position,
lift the sliding ring A-fig. 2-3under the
knob and at the same time shift the lever
rightwards and then backwards (petrol
versions only).
For Multijet versions, simply move the le-
ver rightwards and then backwards.
fig. 2F0H0150mfig. 3F0H0353m
Press the clutch pedal fully
to change gears correctly.
For this reason, there must be no ob-
stacles on the floor under the pedals:
ensure that rubber mats (if any) are
correctly positioned, not interfering
with the pedals.
WARNINGDo not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever, be-
cause this pressure, even if li-
ght, over time can wear out
the gearbox inner components.
