USING THE GEARBOXTo engage the gears, fully depress the clutch pedal
and put the gear lever into the required position (the
diagram is shown on the knob fig. 109).
For 0.9 TwinAir 65 HP, 85 HP and 1.2 8V 69 HP
versions, to engage reverse R from neutral, lift the
ring A fig. 109 and shift the lever to the right and
back.
For 1.3 16V MultiJet version: to engage reverse R
from neutral position, shift the lever to the right and
then back.
WARNING
The clutch pedal should be used only for
gear changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal, however lightly.
For versions/markets where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut in,
interpreting the incorrect driving style as a
fault .
IMPORTANT Reverse can only be engaged when the
car is completely stationary. With the engine
running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to
prevent damage to the gears and grating.
WARNING
Press the clutch pedal fully to change
gears correctly. It is therefore essential
that there is nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do not get
in the way of the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight , could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.

❒use of the car for short drives, in which the engine
does not have time to reach its regular operating
temperature;
❒repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light switching on.
WARNING
If the warning light switches on, the
deteriorated engine oil must be changed
as soon as possible, and never more than 500
km from the first time that the warning light
switches on. Failure to observe the above may
result in severe damage to the engine and
invalidate the warranty. Remember that the
operation of this warning light is not related to
the amount of oil in the engine.Therefore,
never top up with oil when the light starts
flashing.EXCESSIVE ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE (red)
Turning the key to MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on (on some versions,
with a message on the display and a symbol on
the display) when the engine is overheated.If the warning light comes on when driving, proceed
as follows:
❒when driving normally:stop the car, stop the
engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait
for a few minutes for the engine to cool down
then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with
coolant and check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks. Also check visually for any
fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light
should switch on again, contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the car is used under demanding
conditions(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on, stop
the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to further favour
the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine.
Check the correct liquid level as described above.
IMPORTANT On demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a
few minutes before stopping it.
FUEL RESERVE - LIMITED RANGE
(amber)
This warning light comes on when about 5 to 7 litres
of fuel are left in the tank. When the remaining
range is lower than approx. 50 km (or equivalent
value in miles), on some versions, the display will
show a warning message.

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.The overall
duration of the space-saver spare wheel is
of about 3000 km, after which the relevant tyre
must be replaced with another one of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a small spare wheel.
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Using two or more small spare
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting:
they could unscrew themselves.
WARNING
The jack may be used to replace wheels
only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the jack
may cause the car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Never install snow chains on the space-saver
spare wheel; if a front tyre (driving wheel)
is punctured and you need to use snow chains,
use a standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver spare wheel on the rear
axle. In this way, with two normal front drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, complying with the values
given in the "Technical specifications" chapter.

PHONE SET-UP
If a hands-free kit is installed on the car, when there
is an incoming phone call the radio audio will be
connected to the telephone output. The incoming
telephone sound always arrives at a fixed volume, but
it can be adjusted during the conversation using the
ON/OFF button/knob.
The fixed telephone audio volume can be adjusted
using the "SPEECH VOLUME" function in the Menu.
The text “PHONE” appears on the display during the
telephone audio deactivation.ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft protection
system based on the exchange of information
between the radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety and prevents
the secret code from being entered each time the
radio power supply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the radio will
start to function, whereas if the comparison codes
are not the same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the device will ask the
user to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the code is
requested, the display will show "Radio code" for
about 2 seconds followed by four dashes "----".
The code is made up of four numbers from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding button of the pre-selected stations
(from 1 to 6). Enter the other code digits in the same
way.
If the four digits are not entered within 20 seconds,
the display will show "Enter code----".Ifthis
occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds),
the car radio will start to work.

AUTOSTORE FUNCTION
(automatic station storing)
To activate the Autostore function, hold the FM AS
button down until a beep is heard. With this
function, the radio automatically stores the 6 stations
with the strongest signal in a decreasing order on the
FMA frequency band.
During the automatic storing process, the text
“Autostore” flashes on the display.
Press the FM AS button again to stop the Autostore
function: the radio will again tune into the station
listened to before the activation of the function.
When the Autostore function has finished, the radio
automatically tunes into the first preselected station
on the FMA band on the preset side 1.
The stations that have a strong signal at that moment
are then automatically stored in the preselected band
on the buttons numbered 1 to 6.
When the Autostore function is activated within the
MW band, the FMA band is automatically selected
and the function is performed there.
Note
Sometimes the Autostore function is not able to find
6 stations with a strong signal. In this case, the
strongest stations stored will be duplicated in the
free preset buttons.Note
When the Autostore function is activated, the
stations that were previously stored in the FMA band
are deleted.
EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio is configured to receive emergency alerts
in RDS mode in exceptional circumstances or where
dangerous situations are present (earthquakes,
floods, etc.) if these are being transmitted by the
current broadcaster.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be
turned off.
The word “Alarm” will be shown in the display during
the transmission of an emergency announcement.
The volume of the radio changes during this
announcement in the same way as during traffic
news.
