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.
Headlight alignment
adjustment
Press
or
on the control panel fig.
123.
The instrument panel display shows the
position in relation to the adjustment
set.IMPORTANT Check the alignment of
the light beams each time the weight of
the load transported changes.
FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT

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.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
14) Always use genuine spare parts
when replacing the bulbs of the
headlights. Other bulbs may
reduce the system performance.
15) Clean the windscreen from
foreign matters such as bird
droppings, insects, snow or ice.
EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis
of emission-related components on
the vehicle to be made.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on
the
warning light in the instrument
panel (together with relevant message
in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided) when
these components are no longer in
peak condition (see “Warning lights and
messages” paragraph).
The aim of the system is to:
❒monitor system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions due
to vehicle malfunction;
❒indicate the need to replace
components which have
deteriorated.
The system also has a connector that
can be interfaced with appropriate
equipment, which makes it possible to
read the error codes stored in the
control unit together with a series of
specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis. This check
can also be carried out by traffic control
authorities.IMPORTANT After eliminating the
failure, to check the system completely,
Fiat Dealerships run a bench test and,
if necessary, road tests which may
also call for a long journey.

of the vehicle in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions
can be reset (reset means start of
a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures
relating to:
❒Outside temperature
❒Range
❒Distance travelled A
❒Average consumption A
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed A
❒Trip time A (driving time).

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGESThe warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic signal.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the
information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a
few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light switches on when the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light turns on when travelling (on
certain versions together with the message on the
display) stop the vehicle immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the
handbrake is engaged.Release the handbrake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
