OPERATION
WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically
disabled when the electric cable plug of the
trailer is fitted into the vehicle tow hook
socket.
Sensors are automatically enabled again
when removing the trailer cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles that may be set above or un-
der the sensors.
❒Objects located near the vehicle back,
under certain circumstances, are not
detected and could therefore cause
damage to the vehicle or become dam-
aged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) near the vehicle.
❒For correct parking sensor operation
the swing-doors must be closed. Open
swing-doors may produce incorrect in-
dications by the system. The rear doors
must always be closed.
The driver is fully responsible
for parking operations and
other dangerous manoeuvres. Make
sure that no-one is standing in the
area, especially children or animals.
Parking sensors are designed to assist
drivers, who must always pay the ut-
most attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres even if they
are performed at low speed.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Wear the belt keeping the chest straight
and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue
A-fig. 1and insert it into the buckle B,
until the locking click is heard.
If the seat belt jams while it is removed,
let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.
Press button Cto release the belt. Ac-
company the belt while it is being re-
wound to prevent twisting.The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.
fig. 1F0T0147m
Never press button C-fig. 1
when travelling.
WARNING
Remember that in the event
of a violent collision, rear
seat passengers that do not wear the
seat belt both pose a risk for their
safety and represent a serious danger
for the front seat passengers.
WARNING
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wear-
ing it, allowing freedom of movement.
The reel may block when the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly
normal. In addition, the reel mechanism
blocks the belt whenever it is pulled and
in the event of brisk braking, collisions and
on high speed bends.

SAFETY
SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Some versions have front side bags on
both the driver’s and passenger’s sides.
Side bags protect vehicle occupants from
side crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the bag between the occupant and
the internal parts of the side structure of
the vehicle.
Non-deployment of side bags in other
types of collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc...) does not neces-
sarily indicate a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags
to inflate in the event of a frontal crash.
The bags inflate instantaneously placing
themselves between the front occupant’s
body and the structures which could cause
injury. They deflate immediately after-
wards.
Side bags are not a replacement of, but
complementary to, the seat belts, which
you are always recommended to wear, as
specified by law in Europe and in most
non-European countries.
For this reason, the seat belt must be
worn at all times. During side collisions
the seat belts hold the occupant in the
correct position and prevent ejection
from the vehicle during very violent colli-
sions.SIDE BAGS fig. 16
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It consists of an instant-inflating bag
housed in the front seat backrest. It pro-
tects the chest and the hips of the pas-
sengers in the event of side crashes of
medium-high severity.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash,
the system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct po-
sition, thus allowing correct side bag de-
ployment.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light stays on glowing steadi-
ly if there is a failure in the airbag system.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.FRONT PASSENGER
AIRBAG/SIDE BAGS
DISABLED
(amber)
The warning light “comes on when the
front passenger’s airbag and the side bags
(where provided) are disabled. With front
passenger’s airbag on, turning the ignition
key to MAR, the warning light “comes
on steadily for about 4 seconds, it flashes
for other 4 seconds and then it goes off.
¬“
If the warning light ¬does
not turn on or stays on dur-
ing vehicle travel when turning the
key to MAR, a failure may be present
in the restraint systems. If this is the
case, the airbags or pretensioners
may not be deployed after an impact
or, in a minor number of cases, they
may be deployed accidentally. Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership immediate-
ly to have the system checked imme-
diately.
WARNING
The failure of the warning
light ¬is indicated by the
warning light flashing longer than the
expected 4 seconds “, thus signalling
that the front passenger airbag is de-
activated. In addition, the airbag sys-
tem automatically disables the airbag
on the passenger’s side (both front
and side airbags, for versions/markets,
where provided). In this case, warn-
ing light ¬may not indicate a fault
in the system. Contact the Fiat Deal-
ership immediately to have the sys-
tem checked before driving off.
WARNING
When the warning light “
comes on, it indicates that
the light ¬has failed. In addition, the
airbag system automatically disables
the airbag on the passenger’s side
(both front and side airbags, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership immediate-
ly to have the system checked before
driving off.

boot.
The tyre repair kit fig. 14includes:
❒a cylinder A containing sealant which is
fitted with:
– filling tube B;
– an adhesive label Cbearing the words
“max. 80 km/h”, to be attached in an
easy-to-see position for the driver (on
the dashboard) after tyre repair;
❒a compressor Dcomplete with a pres-
sure gauge and connections;
❒an instruction brochure (see fig. 15) to
be utilised for prompt and proper use
of the fast repair kit and to be handed
over to the personnel who will be in
charge of handling the repaired tyre;
❒a pair of safety gloves located in the side
space of the compressor;
❒adapters for inflating different elements.

fig. 14F0T0129mfig. 15F0T0130m
Give the instruction brochure
to the personnel who will be
in charge of repairing the tyre using
the kit.
WARNING
The kit cannot be used to re-
pair damage to the tyre side-
wall. Do not use the fast repair kit if
the tyre is damaged as the vehicle has
run a flat tyre.
WARNING
If the wheel rim is damaged
(the channel is so deformed
as to cause an air leakage) it cannot
be repaired. Do not remove the for-
eign body (screw or nail) from the tyre.
WARNINGIn the event of a puncture
caused by foreign bodies, it is
possible to repair tyres show-
ing damages on the track or
shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter.

❒If at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-
store proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart.
❒Drive with the utmost care to the near-
est Fiat Dealership.FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for
restoring pressure only. Release the quick
coupling and connect directly to the tyre
valve fig. 20; in this way, the cylinder will
not be connected to the compressor and
no sealant will be injected. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-
lows:
❒disconnect connection B-fig. 21;
❒turn the cylinder anticlockwise to raise
and replace it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;
❒plug connection Binto the cylinder and
fit the transparent tube Ainto the
proper space.
Stop the vehicle if the pres-
sure has dropped below 1.8
bars. The automatic Fix & Go fast re-
pair kit cannot work properly be-
cause the tyre is excessively damaged.
Go to a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remember to inform the
workshop that the tyre has
been treated with a fast repair kit.
Give the instruction booklet to the
tyre repair workshop personnel.
