SUSPENSIONS
In some versions the tires rear suspen-
sions self-leveling may be included as an
optional.
According to versions suspensions can be
adjusted manually or automatically.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT
The controls fig.109are located in the
rear right of the vehicle.
Height adjustment
The height adjustment varies from a max-
imum alignmentto an intermediate
alignmentto a minimum alignment.
The reaching of the two stabilities, maxi-
mum or minimum is signalled by 3 “beeps”.
By pressing down twice on one of the A
buttons (starting from the minimum align-
ment position) or one of the Bbuttons
(starting from the maximum alignment po-
sition), the system will automatically ad-
just the setting to the intermediate align-
ment.

Before starting the manual
adjustment procedure with
doors open, make sure there
is enough space around the
vehicle.
First-time use
To initialize the system, keep pushbutton
C-fig.109pressed for 2 seconds
Operating faults
If, when acting on the controls, the sus-
pensions do not adjust, 3 acoustic warn-
ings indicate a system malfunction.
This malfunction could be due to one of
these causes:
❒the brake pedal is pressed and the ig-
nition key is in Mposition
❒excessive use of the system manual ad-
justment;
❒the battery is low (or completely dis-
charged);
❒a tire suspension system error.
If the acoustic warning persists, contact
the Fiat Dealership. The required height level should be set
with vehicle at a standstill and engine run-
ning or off.
With engine off, manual adjustment is on-
ly possible for a restricted number of
times.
IMPORTANT Only make adjustments
with vehicle stationary and:
❒front and side doors closed;
❒handbrake engaged;
❒without pressing the brake pedal.

Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
It works with ignition key at Mand dipped
beams on. When the vehicle is loaded, it
slopes backwards. This means that the
headlight beam rises. In this case, it is nec-
essary to return it to the correct position.To adjust the headlight slant

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
the components of the vehicle correlat-
ed with emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
warning light
Uon the instrument panel
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”), when these conditions are no
longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under con-
trol;
❒ warn when a fault causes emissions lev-
els to increase;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorat-
ed components.The system also has a diagnostic connec-
tor that can be interfaced with appropri-
ate tools, which makes it possible to read
the error codes stored in the control unit,
together with a series of specific parame-
ters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may also call for a long journey.If when turning the ignition
key to M, the warning light
Udoes not turn on or if,
while travelling it turns on
glowing steadily or flashing, contact
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Warning light Uoperation can be
checked by means of special equip-
ment by traffic agents. Always comply
with the traffic regulations in force in
the country where you are travelling.

Refuelling
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 116
To carry out fuelling, open lid A, fit the ig-
nition key into the cap lock and turn it
counterclockwise, then loosen cap B.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the de-
vice Cinside the lid.

AT THE FILLING
STATION
Operation at cold temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suit-
able for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART ad-
ditive in the proportions stated on the can,
putting first the antifreeze in the tank and
then the diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the vehicle
is used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period.
In this event you are recommended to
keep an amount of fuel higher than 50% in
the tank.The vehicle must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with in-
validation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fu-
el, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in ad-
dition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
Keep naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes away from the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
During refuelling, do not open
the left sliding door due to the
fact that the open fuel door.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS
(for versions/markets where provided)
If a child must absolutely be carried on one of the front seats, deactivate the front pas-senger airbag and side bag for pelvis, chestand shoulder protection (for versions/markets, where provided).
The deactivation device on the edge of the glove compartment; toaccess it open its flap.
fig. 14F0P0115m
Use the ignition key to turn the pawl of the deactivation device to OFFto deacti- vate the airbag or to ONto activate it. Warning light “on the instrument pan-el stays on constantly until the front pas-senger airbags and side bag for chest pro-tection (side bag) (for versions/marketswhere provided) are reactivated.
SIDE BAGS
The car is equipped with front side airbagsfor driver and passenger (for ver-sions/markets, where provided) pelvis,chest and shoulder protection (front sidebags), airbags for protecting the heads offront and rear occupants (window bags)(for versions/markets where provided).The front side airbags (for versions/mar-kets, where provided) protect the occu-pants during impacts of medium-highseverity, by placing the bag between theoccupant and the internal parts of the sidestructure of the vehicle. Therefore non-deployment of the side bags in other typesof impacts (front, rear, roll-overs, etc.)does not indicate a system malfunction.
Side airbags (for versions/markets where provided) are not a replacement for, butare complementary to, the seat belts,which you are recommended to alwayswear, as specified by law in Europe andmost non-European countries.
An electronic control unit will inflate the bags, when necessary, in the event of aside impact. The bags will inflate instanta-neously placing themselves between theoccupant bodies and the structures whichcould cause injuries;

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
If, when the key is turned to
M, the ¬warning light does
not switch on or stays on whilst dri-
ving, a fault may have occurred in the
restraint systems. In this case the
airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower
number of cases, they may be de-
ployed accidentally. Before continu-
ing, contact a Fiat Dealership imme-
diately to have the system checked.
WARNING
For versions/markets where
provided, if warning lights ¬and “stay on constantly contact a
Fiat Dealership for immediate check
of the system.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the car is sub-
ject to violent impacts involving the un-
derbody area (e.g. violent impacts against
steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the
road, etc.).
IMPORTANT When the airbag deploys it
emits a small amount of dust. The dust is
not harmful and does not indicate the be-
ginning of a fire. Furthermore, the surface
of the deployed bag and the interior of the
vehicle may be covered with a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
IMPORTANT Airbag checking, repair and
replacement must be carried out at a Fi-
at Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated at a Fi-
at Dealership.IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags
and front side bags are deployed in differ-
ent ways, according to the type of impact.
Failure to deploy of one or more of the
devices does not indicate a system mal-
function.
Warning light ¬flashes to in-
dicate a failure of the “warning light: in this case, the py-
rotechnic charges of the passenger
airbag are deactivated (for versions/
markets, where provided). Contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
WARNING
When the ignition key is
turned to MAR-ON, the
warning light
“(with front passenger
airbag active) switches on and flashes
for a few seconds to remind you that
the passenger airbag will be deployed
in an impact, after which it should
switch off.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
the front seats with covers or
upholstery that are not suitable for use
with side bags.

If the vehicle has been stolen
or in the case of attempt to
steal it, if it has been subjected to
vandalism or floods, have the airbag
system checked by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The airbags may also be de-
ployed when the vehicle is
not moving, if the key is in the igni-
tion and turned to MAR-ON or when
the engine is off, if the vehicle is hit
by another moving vehicle. For this
reason, children must NEVER occupy
the front seats in a rearward facing
seat even if the vehicle is not moving.
Deployment of the airbag following
an impact could cause fatal injuries
to the child. Always deactivate the
front passenger airbag if arranging a
child restraint system on one of the
front seats is necessary. On the oth-
er hand, if the key is turned to STOP,
none of the safety devices (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in the
event of an impact. Non-deployment
of these devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
The airbag deployment
threshold is higher than that
of the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two thresholds,
it is normal for only the pretensioners
to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace
the seat belts but increases
their efficiency. Because front airbags
are not deployed for low-speed im-
pacts, side collisions, rear-end shunts
or rollovers, in these cases occupants
are protected only by their seat belts,
which must therefore always be fas-
tened.
WARNINGThe expiry dates of the py-
rotechnic charge and the
clock spring are shown on a specific
plate contained in the glove box. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealership when these
dates approach.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects
in your lap, in front of your
chest or between your lips (pipe, pen-
cils, etc.). They could cause severe in-
jury if the airbag is deployed.
