ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
PRESETTING
Couplings are located in a longitudinal run-
ner on the vehicle roof.
Secure roof rack/ski racks to the proper
preset holes shown in fig. 108.
IMPORTANT Strictly follow the installa-
tion instructions contained in the kit. In-
stallation hall be carried out by skilled per-
sonnel.
fig. 108F0P0100m
After travelling a few kilo-
metres, check that the cou-
pling fastening screws are tight.
WARNING
Strictly comply with current
law regulations concerning
max. overall dimensions.
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 section “Techni-
cal specifications”).
For safety reasons the bon-
net must be closed properly
to avoid its opening while the vehi-
cle is travelling. Therefore, always
check it is properly closed and the
catch engaged. Should you notice
that the catch is not perfectly en-
gaged when travelling, stop the vehi-
cle immediately and close the bonnet.
WARNING
If the supporting rod is not
positioned correctly the bon-
net may fall violently.
WARNING
Carry out operations only
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
WARNING

RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs
mobile phones, HAM radio systems and
the like) shall not be used inside the ve-
hicle unless a separate aerial is mounted
on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause elec-
trical systems equipping the vehicle to mal-
function. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with
the instructions for use provided by the
mobile phone’s manufacturer.ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to
install electrical accessories that require a
permanent electric supply (alarm, satellite
antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that
in any case burden the electric supply,
contact Fiat Dealership, whose qualified
personnel, besides suggesting the most
suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori
Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric
absorption, checking whether the vehicle
electric system is able to withstand the
load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
SICUREZZA
INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after
buying the vehicle and in after-market shall
bear the following marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation
of transceivers, provided that installation
is workmanlike performed in compliance
with Manufacturer’s specifications at a spe-
cialised service centre.
IMPORTANT The installation of devices
involving modifications of vehicle charac-
teristics may determine the withdrawal of
the driving licence by the appointed pub-
lic authorities and the forfeiture of the
warranty as concerns defects/failures due
to said modification or leading directly or
indirectly to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility
due to damages connected with the in-
stallation of accessories/devices not sup-
plied by or recommended by Fiat Auto
S.p.A. and installed not in compliance with
the specified prescriptions.

PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
fig. 17
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained into a special recess in the
dashboard, this cushion has a volume big-
ger than that of the driver.
fig. 16F0P0606m
fig. 17F0P0114m
In minor crashes (for which the restrain-
ing action of the seat belts is sufficient),
the air bags are not deployed. Also in this
case it is of vital importance to wear the
seat belts since in case of side crash they
guarantee proper positioning of the oc-
cupant and prevent the occupants to be
pitched out of the vehicle in case of vio-
lent crashes.
DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 16
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained in a special recess in the cen-
tre of the steering wheel.
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects to the steering
wheel or to the air bag cover on the
passenger’s side or on the side roof
lining. Never put objects (e.g. mobile
phones) on the dashboard on pas-
senger side since they could interfere
with proper air bag inflation and al-
so cause serious injury.
WARNINGAt their maximum inflation, the front air
bags volume fills most of the space be-
tween driver and steering wheel and be-
tween dashboard and passenger.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the
seat belt moves forward and may come in-
to contact with the cushion while it is still
inflating. Under this circumstance the pro-
tection offered by the air bag is reduced.
Front air bag may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒ in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the vehicle front
surface (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);
❒in case of wedging under other vehicles
or protective barriers (for example un-
der a truck or guard rail), the air bag
is not triggered as it offers no additional
protection compared with the seat
belts, consequently it would be point-
less. Therefore, failure to come into ac-
tion in the above circumstance does
not mean that the system is not work-
ing properly.

SIDE WINDOW BAGS - HEAD
PROTECTION fig. 20
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They consist of two “curtain” cushions,
one on the right and the other on the left
side of the vehicle, located behind the side
coverings of the roof and covered by
proper finishing.
Window bags have been designed for pro-
tecting the head of front and rear occu-
pants in the event of side crash, thanks to
the wide cushion inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
unfolding.IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the vehicle
is subject to heavy knocks or accidents in-
volving the underbody area, such as for
example violent shocks, against steps,
kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the ve-
hicle in big holes or sags in the road.
IMPORTANT When the airbag inflates it
emits a small amount of dusts. These dusts
are harmless and is not the beginning of
a fire; then the unfold cushion surface and
the vehicle interiors can be covered by a
dusty remains: this dust can irritate skin
and eyes. In case of contact, wash yourself
using neutral soap and water.
Expiry dates for pyrotechnic charge and
coil contact are specified on the label in-
side the glovebox. As this date approach-
es, contact Fiat Dealership to have it re-
placed.
fig. 20F0P0117m
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in
which any of the safety devices is activat-
ed, take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to
have the devices activated replaced and to
have the system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement op-
erations concerning the air bags must on-
ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the vehicle scrapped,
have the air bag system deactivated at a
Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle changes
ownership, the new owner must be in-
formed of the method of use of air bags
and the above warnings and also be given
this “Owner Handbook”.

OF THE VEHICLEHANDBRAKE fig. 1
The handbrake lever is located next to the
driver’s seat.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the
vehicle cannot be moved. Four or five
clicks are generally enough when the ve-
hicle is on level ground while nine or ten
may be required if the vehicle is on a steep
slope or laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake
adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up
and the ignition key is at M, the instrument
panel warning light
xwill turn on.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒Stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
❒Engage a gear (on a slope, engage first
gear if the vehicle is faced uphill or re-
verse if it is faced downhill) and leave
the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the vehicle is parked on a steep slope.
Do not leave the key in the ignition switch
to prevent draining the battery. Always
remove the key when you leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave children unat-
tended in the vehicle. Always
remove the ignition key when leaving
the vehicle and take it out with you.
WARNING
fig. 1F0P0118m
To release the handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and press re-
lease button A;
❒keep button Apressed and lower the
lever. Warning light xwill turn off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out
this operation to prevent the vehicle from
moving accidentally.
If pneumatic suspensions are
fitted when parking always
make sure there is enough
space above the roof and
around the vehicle. The vehicle could
actually raise (or lower) automatical-
ly according to changes in temperature
or load.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents
where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary or at high or low speed:
in this way the engine will warm up grad-
ually increasing consumption and emis-
sions. You should drive off slowly straight
away avoiding high revs so that the engine
will warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern vehicles and
also increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selections
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Some suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of the vehicle
down and lower the amount of toxic emis-
sions released into the atmosphere are
given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Carry out the checks and adjust-
ments/regulations specified in the “Service
Schedule”.
Tyres
Check tyre inflation pressure regularly.
Tyres should be checked at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, fuel consumption increases as the re-
sistance to the rolling movement of the
tyre is greater.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much load.
The weight of the vehicle (specially in ur-
ban traffic) and its trim greatly effects con-
sumption and stability.
