ton Aor Bis pressed again.
The power windows are fitted with a safe-
ty system (for versions/markets, where
provided) that detects the presence of an
obstacle during window closing and cuts
in by stopping and reversing the window
stroke.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush function is
enabled for 5 times within 1 minute, the
system automatically switches to “recov-
ery” mode (self-protection). This condi-
tion is highlighted by upward jogging of the
window while closing.In this case, it is necessary to carry out the

HEADLIGHTS
DIRECTING THE BEAM
Correct direction of the headlights is es-
sential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and the other road users. To en-
sure the best visibility conditions during
travel with the headlights on the vehicle
must have beams aimed correctly. Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights checked and properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on.
The vehicle slants backwards when it is
loaded, raising the beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.FOG LIGHT AIMING DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have the
fog lights checked and properly adjusted.
REGULATING THE BEAMS
ABROAD
Dipped beams factory adjustment depends
on the country where the vehicle is pur-
chased. In countries driving on the left, the
beams are aimed by affixing a purposeful-
ly studied adhesive film in order not to
dazzle the vehicles travelling in the oppo-
site direction. This adhesive film is pro-
vided in Lineaccessori Fiat and is available
at the Fiat Dealership. Headlight aiming device regulation
To adjust, press buttons Òand

on the control panel.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el provides a visual indication of the posi-
tions during adjustment operations.
Position 0 - one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1 - five passengers.
Position 2 - five passengers + loaded
boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted
cargo in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming when-
ever the weight of the load carried
changes.

SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is available with a speed re-
striction function that can be set, by the
user, at one of 4 pre-set levels: 90, 100,
110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function, go to
a Fiat Dealership.
After the operation a label (fig. 103) will
be stuck on the windscreen containing the
maximum set speed.
WARNING The speedometer may show
a top speed that is higher than the actual
one set by the Dealership as provided for
by legislation.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
emission-related components of the vehi-
cle. It also alerts the driver, by switching
on of the warning light Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant mes-
sage on the display in some versions)
when these components are no longer in
peak conditions (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
The objective of this system is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒to warn about increased emissions due
to a vehicle malfunction;
❒to warn of the need to replace deteri-
orated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector
that can be interfaced with appropriate
tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control unit to-
gether with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.IMPORTANT After eliminating the prob-
lem, to check the system completely, Fi-
at Dealerships are obliged to run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light Udoes not light up when the
key is turned to MAR or if, during
travel, the warning light comes on ei-
ther steady or blinking (along with a
message on the display). The opera-
tion of the warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.

DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots with consequent anomalous
operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different
types of diesel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type and
arctic type (cold, mountain areas). If refu-
elling with diesel fuel whose features are not
suitable to the temperature of use, it is ad-
visable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART addi-
tive in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive in-
to the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold areas,
it is advisable to refuel using locally avail-
able fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the
tank over 50% full.For diesel engines, use diesel
fuel for motor vehicles com-
pliant with EN590 European
specifications only. The use of
other products or mixtures may dam-
age the engine beyond repair and con-
sequently cause lapse of warranty in
relation to the damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types of
fuel in the tank, do not start the engine
and empty the tank. If the engine has
run also for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel feed sys-
tem emptied in addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the pump switches off. Further top-
ups could cause faults in the fuel feeding
system.FUEL TANK PLUG fig. 106

ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). Do not place free flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel
filler: this may pose a risk of
fire. Keep your face away
from the fuel filler to prevent breath-
ing in harmful vapours.
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER DPF
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter integral with the exhaust system
that physically traps carbon particles pre-
sent in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate particulates almost
totally in compliance with current / future
law regulations. During normal use of the
vehicle, the engine control unit records a
set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late the amount of particles trapped by the
filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles. The
regeneration procedure is controlled au-
tomatically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the vehicle.
During the regeneration procedure, the
following situations may occur: limited in-
crease of idle speed, activation of electric
fan, limited increase of smoke, high tem-
peratures at the exhaust. These events
must not be considered as a malfunction-
ing: they do not impair vehicle behaviour
and the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, refer to section
“Warning lights and messages”. Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn
it clockwise until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-
crease in pressure in the tank. A suction
noise when you release the cap is there-
fore entirely normal.

SAFETY
If the vehicle is scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership
first. If the vehicle is sold to a new owner,
the new owner must be informed on how
the airbags work along with the above
warnings, and also be given this “Owner
Handbook”.
Pretensioners, front airbags and front side
bags are deployed differently according to
the type of collision. Non-deployment of
one of these devices does not therefore
indicate a system fault.
If the warning light ¬does
not turn on or if it stays on
when travelling (together with the
message on the multifunctional dis-
play, where provided) when turning
the key to MAR, there could be a fail-
ure in the restraint systems. If this is
the case, the airbags or pretensioners
do not trigger in the event of an im-
pact or, in a minor number of cases,
they may trigger accidentally. Do not
drive the vehicle and contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system imme-
diately checked.
WARNING
The expiry dates of the py-
rotechnic charge and spiral
contact are shown in the plate in-
stalled inside the oddment compart-
ment. When these dates are near, go
to the Fiat Dealership for replace-
ment of these components.
WARNING
Do not travel holding objects
on your lap, opposite the
breast, holding a pipe, pencil, etc. in
your lips. Airbag deployment after a
collision could cause serious dam-
age/injury.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
The front airbags and/or side bags (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) are de-
ployed also if the vehicle is subject to
strong collisions involving the underbody
area, such as violent shocks against steps,
kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the ve-
hicle in big holes or sags in the road.
A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The dust
is not harmful and does not indicate the
beginning of a fire. Furthermore, the sur-
face of the deployed bag and the interior
of the vehicle may be covered with resid-
ual dust. This dust may irritate the skin and
the eyes. Wash with mild soap and water
in the event of exposure.
Should an accident occur in which any of
the safety devices is activated, take the ve-
hicle to a Fiat Dealership to have the de-
ployed devices replaced and to have the
system integrity checked.
All checking, repair and replacement op-
erations concerning the airbags must on-
ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.
