DESK/BOOKREST fig. 100
(for versions/markets where provided)
There is a desk A in the middle of the dashboard above
the sound system compartment; on some versions this
desk can be used as a bookrest by raising the back
section and resting it on the dashboard as illustrated in
the figure.
On versions with passenger side air bags, the desk is
fixed.
Do not use the desk in a vertical position
with the vehicle in motion.
WARNING

SOUND SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
For radio operation, consult the Supplement attached to
this Owner Handbook.
SOUND SYSTEM CAPABILITY
(for versions/markets where provided)
The system consists of:
❒sound system power cables
❒front speaker connection cables
❒aerial power cable
❒2 tweeters A on the front pillars (30 W max power
each), fig. 132;
❒2 mid-woofers B in the front doors (165 mm
diameter, 40 W max power each) fig. 133;
❒radio aerial lead.
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for example
when washing the vehicle, in case of rain, strong
wind, hail.
❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near
the vehicle.
❒The performance of the parking assistance system
may also be affected by the position of the sensors.
For example by a change in the ride setting (caused
by the wear of the shock absorbers, suspension),
changing the tyres, overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations that require
the vehicle to be lowered;
❒Detection of obstacles in the upper part of the
vehicle (particularly in the case of vans or chassis
cabs) may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could strike the lower part
of the vehicle.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case burden the electric supply, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides
suggesting the most suitable devices from Lineaccessori
Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle’s electric system is able to
withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery. The sound system must be installed in the place
occupied by the central oddments compartment, where
you will find the wiring.
For connection to the existing devices
supplied in the vehicle contact a Fiat
Dealership to prevent any problems that could
impair vehicle safety.
WARNING
Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard
wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation
of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp,
repeated braking or on long descents. Make
sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke
(mats, etc.)

On some versions the warning light turns on
when one or more doors or the tailgate are not
properly closed.
On some versions, the display shows a dedicated
message that indicates left/right front door or rear/load
compartment door opening.
A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and
the vehicle is moving.
´
Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km after it
first comes on.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the engine could be severely damaged and it may
invalidate the warranty. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the
warning light flashes, never add oil.
WARNING
EBD FAILURE (red)
(amber)
Warning lights
xand >lit at the
same time with the engine running,
indicate an EBD system failure or that the system is not
available. Early locking of the rear wheels may occur in
the event of violent braking causing the car to swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have the
system inspected immediately.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
>
SEAT BELT NOT FASTENED (red)
The warning light on the display will light up
when the vehicle is moving and the driver’s
seat belt is not correctly fastened. The warning
light will flash and a buzzer will sound if the front seat

If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at very low temperatures,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place to avoid freezing.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer,
observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly to avoid the
ceiling lights remain on;
❒the ceiling lights must be off. The vehicle is however
provided with an automatic system for switching off
internal lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒battery terminals should always be completely
tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for
a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and starting attitude.The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can
happen as early as −10°C). Refer to the paragraph
“Vehicle inactivity” in “Starting and driving” if the car is
left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electric
accessories which require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable
devices from the Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking whether the
vehicle’s electrical system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even
when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the
battery.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if the vehicle is
parked for a long period of 5 days, it is advisable to
disconnect the negative battery terminal to maintain its
charge.
If the vehicle is equipped with a battery disconnection
function (disconnector), see the description of the
procedure in the „Controls“ paragraph in the
„Dashboard and controls“ section.
