FLAT TYRES
The warning light on the di-
al turns on (together with
message on the display and the
buzzer), when there is a pressure drop
in one or more tyres.
In this way the T.P.M.S. system warns
the driver that one or more tyre/s
is/are flat (i.e. punctured).
IMPORTANTStop travelling with
one or more flat tyre/s since road
holding could be jeopardised. Stop the
car without braking or steering
sharply. Change immediately punc-
tured wheel with space-saver spare
wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided - see section “In an emer-
gency”) and contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING
SYSTEM FAILURE
The warning light on the dial turns
on (together with the message on the
display) when a failure is detected in
the T.P.M.S. system (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
Contact Fiat Dealershipas soon as
possible.
Should one or more wheels without
sensor be fitted, the instrument pan-
el warning light will come on (togeth-
er with the message on the display)
and stay on until fitting again the four
wheels with sensors.

switching on
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device is fitted with an infrared
sensor installed on the windscreen and
is able to detect the outside light
brightness variations.
To activate /deactivate automatic
light turning on, use the display set-
up menu (see paragraph “Info display”
in this section).Main beam headlights fig. 95
To switch on: push the knurled knob
Ainto position 2/1and pull it up
towards the steering wheel.
Instrument panel indicator light 1

To turn off: pull the stalk towards the
steering wheel again.

The light sensor is not
able do detect fog, there-
fore in this case it is nec-
essary to turn the lights on man-
ually.
IMPORTANTWhen the device is
on and the windscreen wiper is work-
ing, lights are automatically turned on.
When the lights come on automati-
cally it is also possible to turn on front
and rear foglights; when the lights are
turned off automatically, the latter
ones will be turned off as well.
IMPORTANTWhen the sensor is
on it is possible to have only the lights
flashing, therefore full-beam headlights
will have to be turned on manually, if
needed.

HEADLAMPS
XENON LAMPS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Xenon lamps work with a voltaic arc
in a pressure Xenon saturated envi-
ronment, in place of the traditional fil-
ament.
The produced light is far greater than
that of traditional lamps, both for its
quality (lighter) and its lighting range.
The advantages in using such lamps
are the following: less eyes fatigue, im-
proved driver’s orientation and driving
safety, especially with the bad weath-
er, with fog and/or inadequate road
signs, illumination of side bands usu-
ally in the shadow.Illumination of side bands consider-
ably improves driving safety because
the driver is able to identify other road
users on the road margins (pedestri-
ans, bikers and motor-bikers).
When the lights come on, the volta-
ic arc tension is very high, but then it
falls.
The maximum light is obtained after
0.5 seconds after turning the head-
lamps on.
The great light produced by this type
of headlamps requires an automatic
system for maintaining the headlight
beam constant and preventing dazzling
other vehicles in the event of sudden
braking, acceleration or while carrying
heavy loads. Never load the rack with
more than the weight al-
lowed (see the “Technical
specifications” section).
Be careful not to knock
the tailgate into objects
on the roof rack.
After travelling a few
miles, check that the an-
chorage bolts of the at-
tachments are still fully tight.

Use the electric adjuster A-fig. 164:
Position 0- on or two people in the
front seats;
Position 1- five people;
Position 2- five people + luggage in
the luggage compartment;
Position 3- eight people + luggage in
the luggage compartment or driver +
the full load allowed all stowed in the
luggage compartment.FOG LIGHT POSITIONING
Have the headlamp positioning
checked at a Fiat Dealership.ABS
The car is equipped with an ABS
brake system which prevents the
wheels from locking when braked and
exploits grip to the maximum making
the car controllable even in emergency
braking.
The operation of ABS is felt by the
driver through a light pulsation of the
brake pedal and a noise.
This should not be considered as a
fault in the brake system but rather in-
dicates the ABS has intervened. It
warns the driver that the car has
reached grip limits and consequently
the speed should be changed accord-
ing to the road conditions.
The ABS system is in addition to the
basic braking system of the car. In the
event of a failure, the ABS will be dis-
abled and the car can be driven as with
a normal braking system without ABS.

DRIVING YOUR CAR
143
Remember that fog also means the
tarmac is wet and therefore manoeu-
vres of all kinds are more difficult and
stopping distances are longer:
– keep a good distance from the cars
in front of you;
– when possible, avoid spurts of
speed or sudden deceleration;
– do not overtake other vehicles if
you can help it;
– if you are forced to stop your ve-
hicle (breakdown, limited visibility,
etc.), first try to stop off the road.
Then turn on the hazard lights and, if
possible, the dipped headlights;
– rhythmically sound the horn if you
realise another vehicle is approaching.DRIVING IN
THE MOUNTAINS
The main suggestions are the fol-
lowing:
– when driving downhill use the en-
gine brake by engaging a low gear so
as not to overheat the brakes;
– under no circumstances should you
drive downhill with the engine off or
with the vehicle in neutral, let alone
with the ignition key out;
– drive at moderate speed without
“cutting” corners;
– remember that overtaking while
going uphill is slower and therefore re-
quires more clear road. If you are be-
ing overtaken while driving uphill,
make it easier for the other vehicle
to pass. DRIVING IN FOG
If the fog is thick, do not start out on
a journey unless you absolutely have to.
If driving in mist, blanket fog or when
there is the danger of fog patches:
– keep your speed down;
– turn on the dipped headlights, rear
fog lights and front fog lights, if fitted,
even during the day. Do not drive with
your headlights at full-beam.
IMPORTANTOn stretches of
road with good visibility, switch off
your rear foglights; the brightness of
these lights could annoy the people
travelling in the cars behind.
