GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the
driver to change gear through a specific indication on
the control panel. Through the GSI, the driver is
notified that changing gear will allow a reduction in
fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) fig. 5 is shown
on the display, the GSI is advising the driver to
engage a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN
(
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to engage a lower
gear.
The indication in the instrument panel remains on
until the driver changes gear or the driving
conditions return to a situation where changing gear
is not required to improve consumption.

WARNING
Evenly distribute the load and take into
account , when driving, the increased
responsiveness of the car to side wind.Fully comply with the regulations in force
concerning maximum clearance.
HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct alignment of the headlights is important
for the comfort and safety of not only the driver
but all other road users. This is also covered by
a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to guarantee
the best visibility conditions for all drivers while
travelling with headlights on.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the lights checked
and adjusted, if necessary.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its
distribution changes.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR
position and the dipped headlights on.

FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the
country where the vehicle was originally purchased.
When travelling in countries with opposite driving
direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers on the other
side of the road, you need to cover areas of the
headlight according to the Highway code of the
country you are travelling in.
ABSABS is an integral part of the braking system which
prevents, whatever the road conditions and force
applied to the brake pedal, one or more wheels from
locking and consequently slipping, thus ensuring
that the car remains under control even during
emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency of
the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 500
km is needed: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it ;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS system has come
into action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly
and the system gets noisier: it means that the speed
should be altered to suit the type of road surface.

Rear seats (warning light no. 2, no. 3 and no. 4)
For the rear seats, the reminder cycle is only
activated when any seat belt is unfastened together
with an acoustic signal (three beeps) (icon A
fig. 92). If the condition of any (front or rear) seat
belt changes, also the condition of the other
(front/rear) seat belts is reported.
The visual indication (icon A
fig. 92) will start and
stop independently for each warning light if several
seat belts are unfastened. The visual signal will
change condition (icon B
fig. 92) after the
corresponding seat has been fastened again.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, if all the front and rear belts are already
fastened the warning lights will remain in position B
fig. 92 for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the belts fastened icons will remain in position
B
fig. 92, whilst the belts unfastened icons will
be displayed as in position A
of fig. 92. If the last
belt is also fastened, the icons will remain in position
B
fig. 92 for 30 seconds then they will switch off.
PRETENSIONERSThe car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioners, which draw back the seat belts by
several centimetres in the event of a strong frontal
impact. This guarantees the perfect adherence of the
seat belts to the occupants' bodies before the
restraining action begins. It is evident that
the pretensioners have operated when the belt
withdraws towards the reel. This car is also equipped
with a second pretensioner (in the kick plate area).
Its activation is signalled by the shortening of the
metal cable. A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the pretensioner
which is not harmful and does not involve any fire
hazard.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning
device, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and
pelvis.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or lubrication: any changes to its original conditions
will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to unusual natural
events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has
been affected by water and mud, it must be replaced.
