ELECTRIC WINDOWS
Electric windows are fitted with safe-
ty anti-crushing gaskets. The system
control unit can feel the presence of
an obstacle when winding up the win-
dow: in this case it stops the window
winding up and reverses it immedi-
ately.
IMPORTANTWith the ignition
key at Sor removed, electric windows
work for 1 minute.
IMPORTANTIf, after disconnect-
ing the battery, the electric window
winder does not work, initialize the
system; release the control and oper-
ate it again until the window is com-
pletely closed and keep it pressed for
one second after the limit switch. The
system will start working properly
again.Incorrect use of the elec-
tric windows could be
dangerous. Before and
when pressing the switches, al-
ways make sure that passengers
cannot be injured either directly
by moving glass or by personal ef-
fects being dragged along or hit
by the glass. Always remove the
ignition key when getting out of
the vehicle to make sure that the
electric windows cannot be acci-
dentally operated and constitute
a hazard for passengers remain-
ing in the vehicle.VERSIONS WITH FRONT

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) system fitted in this car
complies with Directive 98/69/CE
(EURO 3).
This system continuously monitors
the engine emission system compo-
nents. Furthermore, the system warns
the driver of deterioration concerning
the emission system components by
means of
Uwarning light on the in-
strument panel.
The objective is to:
– monitor system efficiency;
– warn when failures can increase
emissions over the threshold estab-
lished by the European regulations;
– warn of the need to replace dete-
riorated components.
Furthermore, the system is equipped
with a connector for interfacing with
specific tools used to read the error
codes stored in the control unit mem-
ory along with a set of diagnostic and
engine specific parameters. This check can also be performed by
traffic controller agents.
If, turning the ignition
key to M, the warning
light
Udoes not turn on
or if, while travelling it turns on
glowing steadily or flashing, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible. Dealership as soon as
possible. Warning light
Uoper-
ation can be checked by traffic
controller agents by means of
special equipment. Always com-
ply with the traffic regulations in
force in the country where you
are travelling.
IMPORTANTAfter eliminating the
problem, your Fiat Dealershipwill
run a bench test to fully check the sys-
tem. In some cases, a long road test
may be required.
TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING
SYSTEM - T.P.M.S.
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car can be equipped with the
T.P.M.S. (Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System). This system consists of a ra-
dio-frequency sensor, installed on each
wheel (on the rim inside the tyre) that
sends pressure information to the
control unit.
IMPORTANTSystem control unit
monitors the pressure of the four car
tyres but not the space-saver spare
wheel. It is therefore recommended
to always check also the space-saver
spare wheel pressure.
IMPORTANTPay the attention
when checking or inflating tyres. Ex-
cessive pressure impairs road holding,
increases suspension and wheel stress
and causes abnormal tyre wear.

Deactivating the passenger’s
front air bag manually
The passenger’s front airbag can be
deactivated if it is absolutely necessary
to carry a child in the front passenger
seat.
Deactivation takes place using the ve-
hicle ignition key in the special key
switch on the right-hand side of the
dashboard fig. 170. Access to the
switch is only possible with the door
open.The key operated switch has two po-
sitions:
POSITION 1 (ON): passenger’s
front air bag activated, warning light
“
on instrument cluster off; it is ab-
solutely prohibited to carry a child on
the front seat;
POSITION 2 (OFF): passenger’s
front air bag activated, warning light
“
on instrument cluster on; it is possible
to carry a child protected by special
restraint system on the front seat.
The
“warning light on the cluster
stays on permanently until the pas-
senger’s air bag is reactivated.
The side airbag will work although
the front airbag is deactivated.
When the door is open, the key can
be inserted and removed in both po-
sitions.

SERIOUS DANGER
The car is fitted
with an Air bag on
the passenger’s side. Do not place
a child’s seat on the front seat. In
the case of need, always deacti-
vate the passenger’s Air bag
when a child’s seat is placed on
the front seat. Even if not com-
pulsory by law, you are recom-
mended to reactivate the Air bag
immediately as soon as child
transport is no longer necessary.

All control, repair and replacement
operations concerning the air bags
must only be carried out c/o Fiat
Dealership.
If the car is to be demolished, Fiat
Dealershipshould be contacted to
have the system deactivated.
If the vehicle changes ownership, the
new owner must be informed of the
method of use of air bags and the
above warnings and also be given this
“Owner handbook”.
IMPORTANTThe triggering of
pretensioners, front air bags and side
air bags is decided in a differentiated
manner by the electronic control unit,
depending on the type of crash. The
failure to deploy one or more of them
does not mean that the system is not
working properly.GENERAL NOTES
If the
¬warning light
does not turn on when
turning the ignition key to
M or if it stays on when travelling,
this could indicate a failure in
safety retaining systems; under
this condition air bags or preten-
sioners could not trigger in the
event of collision or, in a re-
stricted number of cases, they
could trigger accidentally. Stop
the car and contact Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the system checked
immediately.
When the ignition key is
turned to M, the warning
light
“(with the passen-
ger’s front air bag deactivation
switch in the ON position) turns
on for about 4 seconds and flash-
es for another 4 seconds to remind
that the passenger’s air bag and
side air bags will be deployed in a
crash, after which it should go off.
IMPORTANTTriggering of the air
bags releases a small amount of pow-
der. This powder is not harmful and
does not indicate the start of fire; al-
so the surface of the deployed bag and
the vehicle interior may be covered by
dusty residue: this may irritate the skin
and eyes. In the event of exposure,
wash with neutral soap and water.
The airbag system has a validity of 14
years for the pyrotechnic charge and
10 years for the coil contact . As this
date approaches, contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
WARNINGSShould an accident
occur in which the Airbag is activated,
take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership
to have the safety device, the elec-
tronic control unit, the seat belt, the
pretensioners and the electric system
checked.

REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry
out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun.
Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel
system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 172
The fuel filler cap Ais locked; to ac-
cess it, open the fuel tank flap Bwith
the ignition key and turn it anticlock-
wise while releasing the cap.
During filling, hang the cap to the
hook inside the flap, as illustrated.
fig. 172
F0B0116b
The vehicle must only
be filled with diesel fuel
for motor vehicles, in
compliance with European Stan-
dard EN590. The use of other
products or mixtures may ir-
reparably damage the engine
with invalidation of the warran-
ty due to the damage caused. In
the event of accidentally filling
with another type of fuel, do not
start the engine and empty the
tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time,
in addition to the tank, it is also
necessary to drain out the whole
fuel circuit.
If driving or parking the vehicle for
a long period in cold areas/mountains,
refuel with the diesel fuel available at
local filling stations.
In this situation you are also recom-
mended to have in the tank an amount
of fuel 50% higher than usable capac-
ity.AT THE FILLING
S TAT I O N
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel thickens due to the for-
mation of paraffin and could cause the
malfunctioning of the fuel system.
In order to avoid these problems, dif-
ferent types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas). If refuelling with
diesel fuel not suitable for the current
temperature, mix diesel fuel with
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions stated on the can, putting
first the antifreeze in the tank and then
the diesel fuel.
