iTPMS SYSTEM(for versions/markets
where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System) which monitors the tyre in-
flation status thanks to wheel speed sen-
sors.
The system comprises a radio-frequency
transmitter sensor fitted to each wheel
(on the rim inside the tyre), which is able
to send information on the inflation pres-
sure of each tyre to the control unit.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on the
dedicated warning light
n
and a warning
message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can in-
dicate its position: it is in any case rec-
ommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
WARNING
If the system signals a pres-
sure decrease on a specific
tyre, it is recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
WARNING
iTPMS does not relieve the
driver from the obligation to
check the tyre pressure every month;
it is not to be considered a system to
replace maintenance or a safety sys-
tem.
WARNING
Tyre pressure must be
checked with tyres cold.
Should it become necessary for what-
ever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure
even if it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres
are cold.
WARNING
The iTPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops
(for example when a tyre bursts). In
this event, brake the vehicle cautious-
ly and avoid sudden steering.
WARNING
The system only warns that
the tyre pressure is low: it is
not able to inflate them.
WARNING
Insufficient tyre inflation in-
creases fuel consumption, re-
duces the tread duration and may af-
fect the capacity to drive safely.

Insufficient tyre pressure
The warning light
n
switches on, to-
gether with a dedicated message on the
display, to indicate that the tyre pressure
is lower than the recommended value
and/or that slow pressure loss is occur-
ring. In these circumstances, optimal tyre
duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.
Should two or more tyres be in the con-
dition mentioned above, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each
tyre in sequence.
❒
Slow down immediately, avoid sudden
braking and steering.
❒
Stop as soon as traffic conditions al-
low.
❒
In the event of a puncture, use the
quick tyre repair kit or fit the spare
wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided);
or
❒
if you have a compressor, for example
the one of the quick tyre repair kit,
check the pressure of the four tyres
when cold;or
❒
if you cannot check the pressure im-
mediately, drive very carefully and slow-
ly.
The alarm is active until the next inflation,
repair or replacement of the tyre involved.
The spare wheel (space-saver wheel or
steel rim) does not have sensors.
The detected pressure loss does not al-
ways involve visible deformation of the
tyre. Therefore, do not rely on the visual
check only.iTPMS failure
When a fault in the iT.P.M.S. is detected,
the warning light
n
switches on and flash-
es, the warning light è
switches on as
well and a dedicated message is displayed.
In this case, the monitoring of the tyre
pressure is no longer guaranteed.
This alarm is displayed also when at least
one of the wheels is not equipped with
sensor (e.g. with spare wheel, space-saver
or steel type).
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked or, after a puncture, refit a
tyre equipped with sensor on the origi-
nal rim.

FRONT AIRBAGS


The front driver and passenger airbags
(for versions/markets where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of head-on impacts of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the steering wheel or dash-
board. Therefore non-deployment in
other types of impacts (side impacts, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate
a system malfunction. Front driver and passenger airbags (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) are not a
replacement for, but are complementary
to, the seat belts, which you are recom-
mended to always wear, as specified by law
in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.
An electronic control unit will inflate the
bag, when necessary, in the event of a
frontal impact. The bag will inflate instan-
taneously placing itself between the front
occupant’s body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate immedi-
ately afterwards. The volume of front
airbags at max. inflation fills most of the
space between the steering wheel and the
driver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
AIRBAGThe car is equipped with front airbags for
driver and passenger (for versions/markets,
where provided), seat-mounted side airbags
for driver’s and passenger pelvis-chest-
shoulder protection (for versions/ markets,
where provided), and window airbags for
protecting the heads of front and rear out-
er occupants (for versions/markets where
provided).
The location of the airbags on the car is
marked by the writing “AIRBAG” in the
middle of the steering wheel, on the dash-
board, on the side trim or on a label placed
next to the airbag deployment area.In the event of impact, those not wearing
a seat belt are projected forwards and may
come into contact with the bag which is still
inflating. The protection offered by the bag
is compromised in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the fol-
lowing situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable
objects not involving the front surface of
the vehicle (e.g. wing collision against
guard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);❒underride impacts with other vehicles;
Failure to activate in the conditions de-
scribed above is due to the fact that they
may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activa-
tion would be inappropriate. In these cas-
es, non-deployment of the airbag does not
necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

Always drive with your hands
on the rim of the steering
wheel so that the airbag can inflate
freely if required. Do not drive with
your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dash-
board in the passenger airbag area,
on roof side trim. Never put objects
(e.g. mobile phones) on the passen-
ger side dashboard since they could
interfere with correct inflation of the
airbag and cause serious injury to the
passengers.

SEVERE DANGER:When an
active passenger airbag is
fitted, DO NOT install rear-
ward facing child restraints
on the front seat. Deploy-
ment of the airbag in an ac-
cident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision.Therefore, always re-
lease the passenger airbag when a
rearward facing child restraint is in-
stalled on the passenger front seat.
The front passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible
in order to avoid the child restraint
from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate
the passenger airbag as soon as the
child restraint system has been re-
moved.

OF THE VEHICLE
ENGINE STARTINGThe vehicle is fitted with an electronic en-
gine lock device: if the engine fails to start,
see the paragraph “The Fiat CODE sys-
tem” in section “Dashboard and controls”.
The engine may be noisier than usual dur-
ing the first seconds of operation, espe-
cially after it has not been used for a while.
This characteristic feature does not com-
promise functionality or reliability of the
hydraulic tappets: the timing system de-
vised to limit servicing.
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full vehicle perfor-
mance (e.g.: excessive accel-
eration, long journeys at top speed,
sharp braking, etc.).
When the engine is switched
off never leave the key into
the ignition switch to prevent
pointless current absorption
from draining the battery.Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely dan-
gerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
WARNING
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering
are not operational until the engine
has been started, therefore much ef-
fort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING
Dashboard and controls
Proceed as follows:❒
Ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒
Put the gear lever into neutral;
❒
Turn the ignition key to M: the warn-
ing light
m
on the instrument panel
display will turn on;
❒
Wait for the warning light
m
to turn
off. The hotter the engine is, the quick-
er this will happen;
❒
Press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒
Turn the ignition key to Das soon as
warning light
m
goes out. If you wait
too long you will lose the benefit of the
work done by the glow plugs. Release
the key as soon as the engine starts.

OF THE VEHICLE
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to Sbefore
repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at M, the dis-
play warning light
m
remains lit, turn the
key to Sand then back to M; if the warn-
ing lights remain on, try with the other
keys provided with the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key
to Mwhen the engine is off.
The warning light m will flash
for 60 seconds at start-up or
during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault in the glow
plug heating system. You can use the
vehicle as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED
Proceed as follows:❒
Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒
Do not drive at full performance for the
initial kilometres. Wait until the coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering are
not operational until the en-
gine has been started, there-
fore much effort than usual is required
on the brake pedal and steering wheel.
Never bump start the engine
by pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill as this could
cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic exhaust system and damage
it beyond repair.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to Swhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch its
breath” before turning it off by letting it
idle to allow the temperature in the en-
gine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the acceler-
ator before turning off the en-
gine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to tur-
bocharged engines.
