FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCHThe vehicle is fitted with a safety switch
that, in the event of a crash, comes
into operation by cutting off the fuel
supply and turning off the engine as a
consequence.When the inertia switch cuts in, it cuts
off the fuel supply and also activates
the hazard warning lights, side lights
and courtesy lights while releasing
all the doors and displaying the relevant
message; they are deactivated by
pressing button A. On some versions,
there is also a safety relay that activates
in the event of impact to cut off the
electrical supply. In this way, fuel is
prevented from escaping if the pipes
are broken and the formation of sparks
or electrical discharges following
damage to the vehicle electrical
components is avoided.
29) 30)
IMPORTANT After an accident,
remember to remove the key from the
ignition device to prevent the battery
from running down. If no fuel leaks
or damage to vehicle's electrical
devices (e.g. headlights) are detected
after the impact and the vehicle is
able to set off again, reactivate the
automatic fuel cut-off switch.Restoring the fuel
cut-off switch
Press button A fig. 81 to reactivate the
fuel cut off switch.
WARNING
29) If, after an impact, you smell fuel
or notice leaks from the fuel
system, do not reactivate the

WARNING
44) After travelling for a few
kilometres, check to ensure that
the fixing screws for the
attachments are well tightened.
45) Evenly distribute the load and
take into account, when driving,
the increased responsiveness
of the vehicle to side wind.
IMPORTANT
5) The size of the loads you
transport must strictly comply
with currently applicable
regulations.
6) Never exceed the maximum
permitted loads (see “Technical
specifications” section).
HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the headlights
is essential for the comfort and safety
of the driver and other road users.
To ensure the best visibility when
travelling with the headlights on, the
headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key
in the MAR-ON position and the dipped
beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is
laden, raising the beam.
The beams must therefore be realigned
in this case.

On some versions, the intervention of
the system is indicated by a message
shown on the display.
When the system is not active, the LED
on the button ASR OFF turns on and,
on some versions, a message appears
on the display.
If the ASR is disengaged during driving,
it is automatically reactivated when
the vehicle is next started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn
the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
the driving wheels slipping when
moving off gives you better traction.HBA SYSTEM
(Hydraulic Brake Assist)
The HBA system is designed to
improve the vehicle’s braking capacity
during emergency braking. The system
detects emergency braking by
monitoring the speed and strength with
which the brake pedal is pressed,
thereby applying the optimal brake
pressure.
This can reduce the braking distance:
the HBA system therefore completes
the ABS.
Maximum assistance from the HBA
system is obtained by pressing the
brake pedal very quickly. In addition,
the brake pedal must be pressed
continuously during braking, avoiding
intermittent presses, to benefit from the
system.
Do not reduce pressure on the brake
pedal until braking is not necessary
anymore.
The HBA system is deactivated when
the brake pedal is released.
59) 60) 61)
ERM ELECTRONIC ROLLOVER
MITIGATION SYSTEM
(Electronic Rollover Mitigation)
The system monitors the tendency of
the wheels to rise from the ground if the
driver performs extreme manoeuvres
like quick steering to avoid an obstacle,
especially in poor road conditions.
If these conditions occur, the system
intervenes on the brakes and engine
power to reduce the possibility that the
wheels are raised from the ground.
It is not possible to avoid the tendency
to roll over if this is due to reasons
such as driving on high side gradients,
collision with objects or other vehicles.
62)
HILL DESCENT CONTROL
(HDC) SYSTEM
It is an integral part of the ESC and is
aimed at keeping the vehicle at a
constant speed during a descent,
operating autonomously on the brakes
in various ways at the same time. In this
way the vehicle stability and completely
safe driving are guaranteed, above all
in poor grip conditions and/or steep
descents.

To activate the system reach a speed
slower than 25 km/h and press the
dedicated key A fig. 125; the LED on
the button turns on and the display
gives a specific message.
After reaching the desired speed,
release the accelerator and brake
pedals completely (the LED on the
button flashes). If you want to
increase/decrease the speed, press the
accelerator/brake pedals again.
IMPORTANT Do not use the device
with the gearbox in neutral position.
IMPORTANT It is important to engage a
gear suitable for the set speed, to
prevent the engine from stalling.
While the HDC system is operating it is
also possible to take control of the
vehicle again by pressing the brake and
accelerator pedals.If the function is not made available
when the button is pressed, this could
be due to brake overheating. In this
case, wait a few minutes before using
the function again.
IMPORTANT The system is available for
speeds below 25 km/h.
IMPORTANT Above 25 km/h the HDC
system deactivates but is still ready
to operate (the LED on the button
remains on) when the speed is again
below 25 km/h. If the speed exceeds
50 km/h, the HDC system deactivates
completely (the LED on the button
switches off) and the function does not
operate autonomously on the brakes
anymore. To reactivate it, press the
dedicated button again when the speed
is again below 25 km/h.

WARNING
54) The ESC system can’t overrule
the natural laws of physics, and
can’t increase the grip available
according to the condition of
the road.55) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners,
driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
56) The capability of the ESC system
must never be tested irresponsibly
and dangerously, in such a way
as to compromise personal safety
and the safety of others.
57) The performance of the ESC and
ASR systems must not encourage
the driver to take unnecessary
risks. Driving style must always be
adapted to road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is,
in any case, responsible for safe
driving.
58) For the ESC and ASR systems to
function correctly, all four tyres
must be the same brand and type,
must be in excellent condition
and, above all, must be of the
prescribed type and size.
59) The HBA system cannot increase
tyre grip on the road over the
limits imposed by laws of physics:
always drive carefully according
to the conditions of the road
surface.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The LED on the button switches on to
confirm that the system has been
activated and a dedicated message
appears on the display.
When the system is activated, the LED
on the dedicated button is off. If the
user deactivates the system, the LED
on the button switches on constantly
and a dedicated message appears
on the display to confirm that the
system has been switched off.
The system is enabled at every key
cycle of the vehicle and starts
recognition of the operating conditions
(condition signalled to the driver when
the 2 direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel light up).When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual
and acoustic warnings. Therefore
the two direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel switch off
to prevent excessively frequent
warnings while driving in towns or on
winding roads at low speeds.
IMPORTANT If the operating conditions
are no longer present, the system
remains activated but inactive.
Therefore the driver is warned by the 2
direction warning lights
and
on
the instrument panel switching on
constantly.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
❒front driving direction (reverse not
engaged);
❒the system does not detect any error;
❒calibration in progress;
❒vehicle speed between 60 km/h and
max. vehicle speed;
❒presence of lane demarcation lines
not deteriorated and visible on both
sides;❒suitable visibility conditions;
❒straight line or wide radius bends;
❒sufficient field of vision condition
(safety distance from vehicle in front);
❒direction indicators not activated
in the lane exiting direction (e.g. right
lane exiting direction, right direction
indicator activated);
❒vehicle direction getting constantly
closer to the lane demarcation lines
(the vehicle trajectory is within the
lane demarcation lines);
❒vehicle not constantly next to the lane
demarcation line.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
When the system is active, if the vehicle
gets close to one of the limit lines or
one of the two lane demarcation lines,
the driver is warned with an acoustic
signal (coming from the crossed line
side if the vehicle is equipped with the
radio navigation system) along with
the corresponding direction warning
light (
or
) lighting up.
If the driver turns on the direction
indicator in order to change lanes or for
overtaking, then the system will switch
off the driver warning.
