WARNING
44) Strictly adhere to the laws in
force concerning maximum
clearance.
45) Check that the attachment fixing
screws are tight after a few
kilometres.
IMPORTANT
8) Evenly distribute the load and
take into account, when driving,
the increased responsiveness
of the vehicle to side wind.
9) Never exceed the maximum
permitted loads (see chapter
“Technical specifications”).
HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT 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 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 theandfig. 109
buttons on the control panel to
adjust.
The display located on the
instrument panel provides a visual
indication of the adjustment
position.
Position 0 - one or two people in the
front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the
luggage compartment.
Position 3 - driver + maximum
permitted load stowed in the
luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the light beam
alignment every time the load
transported changes.

ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are
aligned for operation in the country
where the vehicle was originally
purchased. In countries where
vehicles are driven on the other side
of the road, the beams are aligned
by applying a specially designed
adhesive film in order not to dazzle
the vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction.
Such film is provided by
Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at
Fiat Dealerships.
RADIO

CD/MP3 player (for versions/
markets where provided), read the

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.
110F0V0508
71
Page 76 of 323
During regeneration, the following
may occur: a limited increase in the
engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or
damage the environment.
If the dedicated message is
displayed, refer to paragraph
"Warning lights and messages".

SPEEDOMETER
This shows the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter shows the engine
rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is “over-revving” resulting in a
gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual
or sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it
takes place during the activation of
the climate control system or the
fan. It should not be considered as a
fault. In such cases, a slight
increase in engine idle speed helps
to sustain the battery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in
the fuel tank.
E tank empty.F tank full (see the instructions
provided in the “Vehicle refuelling”
paragraph).
The warning light on the gauge
comes on to indicate that
approximately 8-10 litres of fuel are
left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank
almost empty: any gaps in
fuel supply could damage the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to
E and warning light A will flash to
indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the
engine coolant fluid and starts
working when the fluid temperature
exceeds approx. 50°C.
In normal usage, the needle should
hover around the middle of the
scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.The warning light on the gauge may
light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on
certain versions) to indicate that
the coolant fluid temperature is too
high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
10)
IMPORTANT
10) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
