USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOKOPERATING INSTRUCTIONSEach time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position
or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSWhile reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your
vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,
which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;vehicle safety;environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

the boot and this is open.
NOTE With the ignition device at MAR,
if 30 minutes pass with the vehicle
stationary (versions with manual
gearbox) or with the gear lever at P
(Park) (versions with automatic
transmission) and the engine off, the
ignition device will automatically move
to the STOP position.
NOTE With engine started, it is possible
to go away from the vehicle taking the
electronic key with you. The engine
will still be running. The vehicle will
indicate the absence of the key
on board when the door is closed.

WARNING
2)If the ignition device is tampered with
(e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked
over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
3)When getting out of the vehicle, always
take the key with you to prevent any
occupants from accidentally activating the
controls. Remember to engage the electric
parking brake. Never leave children
unattended in the vehicle.4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device).
This could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in the non-compliance of the vehicle
with type-approval requirements.
5)Never remove the key without remote
control while the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel will automatically lock as
soon as it is turned. This also applies
to cases in which the vehicle is towed.

parked on a steep slope, chock the wheels
with wedges or stones. When leaving the
vehicle, always lock all the doors by
pressing the dedicated button on the
handle (see "Keyless Entry" in the "Doors"
paragraph).
7)On versions equipped with Full Keyless
system, do not leave the electronic key
inside or near the vehicle or in a place
accessible to children. Do not leave the
vehicle with the ignition device in the MAR

Automatic main beam headlights(where provided)
In order not to disturb other road users,
the main beam headlights are
automatically deactivated when
approaching vehicles travelling in the
opposite direction or when following a
vehicle travelling in the same direction.
This function can be set through the
display menu (see the instructions
in the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter); the light
switch ring nut must be turned to
AUTO to activate.
The function is activated by pushing the
stalk toward the dashboard (stable
position); the
warning light comes
on in the instrument panel. The
warning light will also come on in
the instrument panel with main beam
headlights on. If the vehicle is turned off
with the setting described previously,
the automatic main beam headlight
function will need a new resetting: bring
back the stalk in the centre position
and then press it again towards the
instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 40 km/h
and the function is active, if the stalk
is brought again to the stable central
position the function deactivates and
the main beam headlights turn off.When the speed is lower than 15 km/h
and the function is active, the system
automatically switches the main beam
headlights off.
If the stalk is moved from the stable
central position and pushed again
towards the dashboard in the stable
position, this is interpreted as a request
for fixed main beam headlights: the
warning light comes on in the
instrument panel and the main beam
headlights turn on until vehicle speed
exceeds 40 km/h again. When this
threshold is exceeded the function
activates again automatically and the
warning light comes on again
in the instrument panel.
To deactivate this function, rotate the
light switch ring nut to the
position.
DIRECTION INDICATORSBring left stalk A fig. 28 to the (stable)
position:
upwards: activates the right direction
indicator;
downwards: activates the left direction
indicator.
The
or
warning light respectively
will flash on the instrument panel.
The direction indicators switch
off automatically when the steering
wheel is straightened or when the
daytime running lights (DRL)/parking
lights are activated.
"Lane Change" functionIf you wish to signal a lane change while
running, place the left stalk in the
unstable position for less than half a
second.
The direction indicator on the side
selected will flash five times and then
switch off automatically.HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
ADJUSTMENT
Headlight alignment correctorThe headlight alignment corrector
operates with ignition device at MAR
and dipped headlights on.
To adjust rotate ring nut A fig. 29.
❒Position 0: one or two people on the
front seats;
❒Position 1: 4 or 5 passengers
❒Position 2: 4 or 5 passengers + load

fast continuous operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST function:
operation is limited to the time for which

useful to remove small deposits of dust
from the windscreen, or morning dew.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen
washer fluid onto the windscreen, the
washing function must be used.
With ring nut A fig. 31 in
or
position, the windscreen wiper
will automatically adapt its operating
speed to the speed of the vehicle.
"Smart washing" functionPull the lever towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate both
the windscreen washer jet and the
windscreen wiper with a single
movement; the latter turns on
automatically.The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
The cycle is completed, after about 6
seconds, by a final cleaning stroke
of the windscreen wipers.
RAIN SENSOR(where provided)
This is located behind the interior rear
view mirror, in contact with the
windscreen fig. 32 and can detect the
presence of rain and, consequently,
manage the cleaning of the windscreen
in accordance with the amount of
water on the screen.Activation
