a spring-loaded latch that stops the door from opening any
further. To lock it, simply push the door as far as it will go;
to unlock it, pull forward firmly.

to the device which keeps it fully open.SLIDING SIDE DOORS
(for versions/markets where provided)
Before opening a door, check that you can
do so safely.
WARNING
Before refuelling, check that the left sliding
side door is fully closed; if it is not, you could
damage the door and the slide locking
mechanism when the fuel cap is open.
You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel cap open while re-
fuelling. Check that the fuel cap is closed while
opening/closing the sliding side door to avoid dam-
age.

ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
If, after the engine has been automatically restarted, the
driver does not take any action for a period of about 3 min-
utes, the Start&Stop system will definitively stop the en-
gine to avoid fuel consumption. The engine can only be
started using the key in such cases.
N.B.: In any case, it is possible to keep the engine running
by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
OPERATING IRREGULARITIES
In the case of malfunctions the Start&Stop system is dis-
abled. The driver is informed of the problem by the gen-
eral failure warning light A-fig. 105, where provided, com-
ing on with an information message and the system fail-
ure symbol B-fig. 105 in the control panel.
In this case, contact the Fiat Service Network. VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy pole fig. 106
If the vehicle is inactive, special care must be taken to dis-
connect the battery electrical power supply. This proce-
dure is carried out by disconnecting the rapid release neg-
ative terminal A from the negative false pole B because
there is a battery status monitoring sensor D at the neg-
ative battery pole C which should never be disconnected
except if the actual battery is replaced.

The vehicle should always be evacuated
after the key has been removed or turned
to the OFF position. During refuelling operations,
it is necessary to make sure that the vehicle is off
with the ignition key in the OFF position.
WARNING
For vehicles with a robotised transmission,
if the engine cuts out automatically on
a gradient, it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-) without
releasing the brake pedal. For vehicles with ro-
botised transmission, where the Hill Holder func-
tion is present, if the engine cuts out automati-
cally whilst on a hill, it is advisable to restart it
by moving the gear lever to (+) or (-) without re-
leasing the brake pedal to make the Hill Holder
function – which is only active when the engine
is running – available.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise climate comfort,
the Start&Stop system can be disabled to
allow continuous operation of the climate control
system.

REFUELLING THE VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number (R.O.N.)
no lower than 95.
WARNING An inefficient catalytic silencer leads to harm-
ful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.
WARNING Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic silencer beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel thick-
ens due to the formation of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel
are distributed according to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold/mountain areas). If refuelling
with diesel fuel whose specifications are not suitable for
the usage temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA
DIESEL ART additive in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive into the tank before
the fuel.
WARNING The use of similar devices inside the passen-
ger compartment (without an external aerial) may, in ad-
dition to potential damage to the health of the passengers,
cause malfunctions in the vehicle electronic systems, com-
promising the safety of the vehicle.
In addition, the transmission and reception of these de-
vices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehi-
cle body.
With regard to EC-approved mobile phones (GSM, GPRS,
UMTS), you should adhere strictly to the instructions pro-
vided by the mobile phone’s manufacturer.

REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the pump
switches off. Further top ups could cause faults in the fu-
el supply system. If using/parking the vehicle in mountainous/cold areas for
a long time, you should refuel with locally available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused. If you ac-
cidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel supply system emptied
in addition to the tank.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 109
To open
1) Open the flap A-fig. 109 by pulling it outwards, keep the
cap B still, insert the ignition key in the lock and turn it an-
ticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it. The cap has
a device C that attaches it to the flap so it cannot be lost.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the flap as illustrated
in the diagram.
