KEY EMERGENCY LOCK (KEL) DEVICE
fig. 77
The sliding side doors are provided with a device for lock-
ing all the doors using the lock in case of a power fault.
The device can be engaged with the sliding side doors open
as follows:
❒position 2: device not engaged (doors released)
❒position 1: device engaged (fit the metal insert of the
ignition key in its seat and rotate clockwise), door
locked
The device is released and thus the doors can be opened
as follows:
If the power is restored:
❒by remote control
or
❒opening a front door by inserting the key into the key
pawl.
F0V0383mfig. 77
If the power is not restored:
❒opening the driver side door by key pawl and the oth-
er doors (passenger's side and sliding side door) pulling
the inner handle.
If the child lock was engaged and the previously described
locking procedure was carried out, operating the inter-
nal handle will not open the door but will only realign the
door lock knob. To open the door, the outside handle
must be pulled. The door central locking/unlocking button
is not disabled by the engagement of the emergency lock.
DOUBLE REAR SWING DOORS
The rear double swing doors are fitted with a link system
that stops them when they have opened to an angle of
approximately 90 degrees.
To open them wider to an angle of 180 degrees, push the
locking device A-fig. 78 (one on each side) as shown in the
diagram and simultaneously open the doors.

The tailgate can be opened at any time if the doors are un-
locked.
To open it the handle must be enabled by opening one of
the front doors or operating the remote control unlock-

the side shock absorbers C-fig. 84b. Also be
careful not to knock the side shock ab-
sorbers when you load the boot, to avoid damag-

ABS SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an integral part of the braking system, which pre-
vents one or more wheels from locking or slipping re-
gardless of the road surface conditions and braking action,
giving the best control during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution)
completes the system, allowing the braking action to be
distributed between the front and rear wheels.
WARNING For maximum efficiency of the braking sys-
tem, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: dur-
ing this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and pro-
longed braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be al-
tered to suit the type of road surface.
Headlamp alignment adjustment
To adjust, press buttons Òandfig. 100 on the control
panel.
The display located on the instrument panel provides the
visual indication of the positions during the adjustment op-
eration.
Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.
Position 1 – five people.
Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed in the luggage compartment.
WARNING Check the light beam alignment every time
the load transported changes.
FOG LIGHT DIRECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlamps are adjusted to work in the coun-
try where the vehicle was originally purchased. When in
countries where you drive on the other side of the road,
you need to alter the light beam direction by affixing a spe-
cially designed self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle the
vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. This film is
provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
When the ABS intervenes and you notice
the brake pedal pulsating, do not be afraid
to keep the pedal pushed down. This will help you
to stop in the shortest distance possible, depend-
ing on the road conditions.

EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by warning lights
>andxin the
instrument panel coming on (together with the appropri-
ate message on the multifunction display on some versions)
(see “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the ve-
hicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive carefully
to the nearest Fiat Service Network to have the system
checked.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
>in the instru-
ment panel coming on (together with the appropriate mes-
sage on the multifunction display on some versions) (see
“Warning lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system will work as normal with-
out the extra capacity offered by the ABS system. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Service Network to have the
system checked.
If the ABS intervenes, it means you have
almost reached the grip limit between the
tyres and the road surface: slow down to make
sure you can use the available grip.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most out of the available
grip, but it cannot increase it; you must
therefore always take care when driving on slip-
pery roads. Do not take any unnecessary risks.
WARNING
If only warning light xlights up in the in-
strument panel (with a message in the
multifunction display on some versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and contact the nearest Fiat
Service Network. Fluid leaking from the hydraulic
system will compromise the operation of the brak-
ing system, whether it is of the conventional type
or with ABS.
