system is capable of maintaining the
required temperature, the word
FULL will disappear from the display.
If, on the other hand, it is no longer
capable of maintaining the
temperature, the letters flash and
the word AUTO goes out.
IMPORTANT With the compressor
off, it is not possible to introduce air
cooler than ambient temperature
into the passenger compartment.
Furthermore, in certain conditions,
the windows could mist up rapidly
because the air is not dehumidified.The system remembers that the
compressor has been switched off,
even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor
control, press thebutton again (in
this case, the system will only work
as a heater) or press the AUTO
button.
With the compressor switched off, if
the outside temperature is higher
than the one set, the system is not
capable of satisfying this request
and signals it by the digits for the
temperature setting flashing after
which the word AUTO goes out.
With the climate control compressor
off, the fan speed can be set to
zero manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and
the engine started, the fan speed
may be reduced to the minimum
setting (only one bar shown).Button for rapid

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
46) For connection to the existing
devices supplied in the vehicle
contact a Fiat Dealership to
prevent any problems that could
impair vehicle safety.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing petrol fuel engine
emissions:
❒three-way catalytic converter
(catalytic converter);
❒oxygen sensors;
❒evaporation control system.
In addition, do not let the engine
run, even for a test, with one or
more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral with the
exhaust system, that physically
traps carbon particles present in the
exhaust gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all
carbon particles in compliance with
current / future legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle, the
Powertrain Control Module records
a set of data (travel time, type of
route, temperatures reached etc.)
and calculates how much particulate
has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be regenerated
(cleaned) at regular intervals by
burning carbon particles. The
regeneration procedure is controlled
automatically by the Powertrain
Control Module according to the
filter conditions and vehicle usage
conditions.

NOTE The vehicle may be equipped
with FiX&Go Automatic tyre repair
kit, space-saver wheel or full size
spare wheel (with or without original
TPMS sensor to measure tyre
pressure).
After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the FiX&Go Automatic
tyre repair kit, the previous condition
must be restored, so that the
warning light is off during normal
driving.
Space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided): the
space-saver wheel is not equipped
with a TPMS sensor. Once fitted,
while driving normally, the warning
light comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds, and then constantly).
This condition lasts until a wheel
equipped with an original TPMS
sensor is fitted on the vehicle.Normal spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light comes
on (flashing for about 75 seconds,
and then constantly). This condition
lasts until a wheel equipped with
an original TPMS sensor is fitted on
the vehicle. The system is then
restored and the
warning light
switches off.
Normal spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light
switches off.
IMPORTANT In all the above-
mentioned cases, it is advisable to
check the spare wheel tyre pressure
before starting driving.
NOTE If the tyres are replaced,
driving the vehicle for short
stretches, some time might be
needed before the system is
restored.IMPORTANT
WARNING
86) The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels
provided. TPMS pressures and
alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres
mounted on the vehicle. Using
equipment with different size,
type or kind may cause irregular
system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare
wheels can damage the sensor.
Do not use tyre sealant or
balancing weights if the vehicle is
equipped with TPMS as these
may damage the sensors.
87) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
88) TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the
tyre pressure every month; it is
not to be considered a replacing
system for maintenance or a
safety system.
146
STARTING AND DRIVING
IMPORTANT
22) For diesel engines, use only
diesel fuel for motor vehicles
in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use
of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate
the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally refuel
with another type of fuel, do not
start the engine, and drain the
tank. If the engine has run, even
for a very short time, you will need
to have the entire fuel supply
system emptied in addition to the
tank.
23) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near the fuel tank filler:
fire risk. Keep your face away
from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
PRACTICAL ADVICE
FOR REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND
HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
❒Have checks and adjustments for
vehicle maintenancecarried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled
servicing plan”.
❒Checktyrepressure regularly, at
least once every four weeks.
Excessively low pressures will
increase consumption because
rolling resistance will be higher. In
addition, this wears the tyre more
quickly and impairs performance.
❒Only usesnow tyreswhen
the weather conditions make them
absolutely necessary. They increase
consumption and noise.❒Do not travel witha heavy load: the
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
❒Removeroof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the vehicle's aerodynamic
penetration and have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
❒When transporting particularly large
objects, use atrailerif possible.
❒Use the vehicle's air vents if possible:
travelling with the windows open
impairs aerodynamics.
❒Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The vehicle’s
heated rear window, additional
headlights, screen wipers and heater
fan require a considerable amount
of energy; this increases fuel
consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
❒Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to
+30%). If the temperature outside is
not too extreme, try and use the
air vents.
154
STARTING AND DRIVING
CHANGING A WHEEL
The vehicle is originally equipped
with the Fix&Go automatic quick
tyre repair kit (see instructions in the
next section). As an alternative,
the vehicle may have a normal-sized
spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel call for
some precautions, as listed below.
108) 109) 110) 111)
Note for one-way
tyres
One-way tyres have a few arrows on
the side indicating the rotation
direction. If a wheel is changed
(when punctured, for example) the
direction of the arrows on the spare
wheel tyre may not coincide with
the rotation direction of the wheel to
be replaced.
In these conditions, too, the tyre still
maintains its safety features.Anyway, it is recommended to have
the wheel repaired and refitted as
soon as possible, as the best
performance is achieved when the
rotation direction of all tyres
coincides with the one indicated by
the arrows.
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as
follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒stop the engine and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain
countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
❒for Cargo versions fig. 180: move the
left front seat forward and operate
lever A to access the tool bag; take it
to the wheel that needs replacing;
❒for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig.
181: open the rear doors, inside the
compartment on the rear right side,
take the tool bag, unhooking the
elastic band from the buckle, and
take it next to the wheel to be
changed;
❒take wheel spanner B fig. 182 and
the extension with pentagonal fitting
C; inside the load area, fit extension
C on bolt A; use spanner B to lower
the wheel by unwinding the wire;

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for
ensuring long vehicle life under the
best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series
of checks and services every
30,000/35,000 km (depending on
the version).
It is, however, important to
remember that scheduled servicing
does not completely cover all the
vehicle's requirements: even in the
initial period before 30,000/35,000
km, and then subsequently between
one service and another, ordinary
care is always required such as
routine checks involving topping up
fluid levels, checking tyre pressures
etc...
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
Coupons are required by the
manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing can be carried
out by any Fiat Dealership, at
pre-established times.If during each operation, in addition
to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements
or repairs, these may only be carried
out with the express agreement of
the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership in the
event of any minor operating failure,
without waiting for the next service
coupon.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
trailer towing, the interval between
scheduled maintenance services
must be reduced.
