HEADLIGHTS
HEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct direction of the headlights is essential for
the comfort and safety of the driver and other road
users. To ensure the best visibility when travelling with
the headlights on, the headlight alignment must be
correct. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR-ON
position and the dipped headlights on. The vehicle tilts
backwards when it is laden, raising the beam. The beams
must therefore be aimed again in this case. IMPORTANT Follow the instructions contained in the
assembly kit carefully. Assembly must be performed by
qualified personnel.
Respect the regulations in force
concerning maximum clearance.
Distribute the load evenly and when
driving, bear in mind the increased
sensitivity of the vehicle to side wind.
WARNING
Never exceed the permitted weight (see
“Technical data” section).

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
allows continuous diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
Uwarning
light on the instrument panel (together with a relevant
message in the multifunction display, for versions/
markets where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section), when these components are no
longer in peak condition.
The goal of the system is to:
❒keep the system efficiency under control;
❒warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle
malfunction;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorated
components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate equipment, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the control
unit together with a series of specific parameters for
engine operation and diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by traffic control authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check
the system completely, Fiat Dealerships run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for
a long journey.
If, when the ignition key is turned to the
MAR-ON position, the Uwarning light
either does not come on or, when driving,
it comes on constantly or flashing (along with
a message in the multidirection display,
for
versions/markets where provided
) contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of
the warning light Umay be checked by the
traffic control authorities using specific devices.
Always comply with the traffic regulations in
force in the country where you are driving.

The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in
pressure in the tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap is absolutely normal.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the device inside
the flap as shown in fig. 136.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice after the first
click of the fuel delivery gun. Further top-ups could
cause faults in the fuel feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 136
When refuelling, open the flap A then undo the cap B
turning the ignition key anticlockwise; the cap has
a device C to prevent it being lost.Only use diesel fuel that conforms to
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due to
the damage caused. If you accidentally introduce
other types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine and empty the tank. If the engine has run,
even for a very short time, you will need to have
the entire fuel system emptied in addition to
the tank.
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank opening:
fire risk. Keep your face away from the fuel
filler to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.
WARNING

S.B.R. SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with a Seat Belt Reminder system
(S.B.R.), consisting of a buzzer and a flashing warning
light
that the seat belt must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the next engine
stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR-ON;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then release one of the
seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact the Fiat Dealership.
With digital display, the S.B.R. system can only be reset
at Fiat Dealership.
With multifunction display, the S.B.R. system can also be
reset through the set-up menu.
