miles). This is automatically displayed, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR-ON, starting from
2,000 km (or the equivalent in miles) from this
point and reappears every 200 km (or the
equivalent in miles). Below 200 km servicing
indications are more frequent. The indication will
appear in kilometres or miles depending on the unit
of measurement settings. When the next
scheduled servicing is approaching, the message
"Service" will appear on the display, followed by the
number of kilometres or miles left, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR-ON. Go to a Fiat
Dealership, where the "Scheduled Servicing Plan"

TRIP COMPUTERGeneral information
The Trip computer is used to display information
on car operation when the key is turned to
MAR-ON. Two separate trips, called “Trip A” and
“Trip B”, are provided to monitor the entire
mission (journey) in a reciprocally independent
manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Range
❒Distance covered
❒Average consumption
❒Instantaneous consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
NoteThe “Trip B” function may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). The “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be reset.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can
be travelled with the amount of fuel present in
thetank.“----”will appear on the display in the
following cases:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for an extended
period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type of
route (motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above into
account.
Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the start of the
new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption
since the start of the new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----”if
the car is parked with the engine running.

Seat heating fig. 31
(for versions/markets, where provided)
With the key turned to MAR-ON, press the
buttons shown in the figure to switch the function
on/off.
When the function is enabled, the LED on the
button turns on.
HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONT
These are height-adjustable and lock into place
automatically.
❒Upward adjustment: lift the head restraint until it
clicks into place.
❒Downward adjustment: press button A fig. 32
and lower the head restraint.
On some versions the front head restraints are
equipped with an “Anti-Whiplash” device, which
reduces the distance between head and head
restraint in the event of a rear shunt, thus
mitigating the “whiplash” effect.
The “Anti-Whiplash” type front head restraints may
move when the backrest is pressed by the
occupant's torso or hand. This behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be considered a
malfunction.
WARNING
Head restraints must be adjusted so
that the head, rather than the neck,
rests on them. Only when they are adjusted in
this manner can they serve their intended
purpose.

EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnostic) is a diagnosis system installed on the
ECUs, which detects and reports possible
malfunctions in the electronic systems that could
worsen emissions.
The goal of the system is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions due to vehicle
malfunction;
❒indicate the need to replace components which
have deteriorated.It also alerts the driver, by turning on the warning
light
on the instrument panel (together with
relevant message on the display), when these
components are damaged; it can also report any
system malfunctions (see "Warning lights and
messages" chapter).
Note The car also has a connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the
electronic control units together with a series of
specific parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After an operation at the Fiat
Dealership, aimed at solving malfunctions linked to
the EOBD system, some bench tests should be
made, along with road tests if necessary, for a
complete check of the system. The latter may also
require the car to cover a long distance.

PARKING SENSORS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors provide the driver with information
on the distance when approaching obstacles
behind the vehicle (versions with 4 rear sensors) or
in front of and behind the vehicle (versions with 4
front and 4 rear sensors).
The system therefore provides a further aid during
parking manoeuvres because it allows the
identification of obstacles outside of the driver's
field of vision.
The driver is notified of the presence and distance
of the obstacle from the vehicle by an acoustic
signal which varies depending on the distance from
the obstacle (as the distance from the obstacle
decreases the frequency of the acoustic signal
increases).
SENSORS
In order to measure the distance of obstacles, the
system uses 4 sensors located in the front bumper
(for versions/markets, where provided) fig. 113
and 4 sensors located in the rear bumper fig. 114.
Version with 4 sensors
On the version with 4 rear sensors, the system is
activated automatically when the reverse gear is
engaged.Version with 8 sensors
On the version with 4 front sensors and 4 rear
sensors, the system is activated when reverse gear
is engaged or by pressing button
fig. 115.

When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around 15
km/h is exceeded to allow the parking manoeuvre
to be completed.
The system can also be activated by pressing the
button
fig. 115 in the central panel: a warning
light in the button comes on when the system
is activated.
Every time the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON
the LED on the button
flashes briefly to
indicate that the system is running a diagnosis. The
LED activation should not be understood as a fault.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the button
again
fig. 115 or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the warning light in the button is off
when the system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts
to produce acoustic signals from the front orrear buzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected with
the frequency increasing as the obstacle gets closer.
When the obstacle is less than about 30 cm away,
the sound becomes continuous. Depending on
the position of the obstacle (in front or behind) the
sound is produced by the corresponding buzzers
(front or rear). The obstacle closest to the vehicle
is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the
distance of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle
remains constant if the distance measured by the
centre sensors remains unchanged, while if this
situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is
interrupted after about 3 seconds (for example, to
prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres alongside
walls).
WARNING
Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres however are always the
driver ’s responsibility.When making these
manoeuvres, always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are present
in your manoeuvring space.The parking
sensors are designed to assist drivers: in any
case, you must always pay the utmost
attention during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even when carried out at low
speed.
