FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH
The vehicle is fitted with a safety
switch that, in the event of a crash,
comes into operation by cutting
off the fuel supply and turning
off the engine as a consequence.When the inertia switch cuts in, it
cuts off the fuel supply and also
activates the hazard warning lights,
side lights and courtesy lights
while releasing all the doors and
displaying the relevant message;
they are deactivated by pressing
button A. On some versions, there
is also a safety relay that activates
in the event of impact to cut off
the electrical supply. In this way,
fuel is prevented from escaping
if the pipes are broken and the
formation of sparks or electrical
discharges following damage to the
vehicle electrical components is
avoided.
29) 30)
IMPORTANT After an accident,
remember to remove the key from
the ignition device to prevent the
battery from running down. If no
fuel leaks or damage to vehicle's
electrical devices (e.g. headlights)
are detected after the impact and
the vehicle is able to set off again,
reactivate the automatic fuel cut-off
switch.Restoring the fuel
cut-off switch
Press button A fig. 81 to reactivate
the fuel cut off switch.WARNING
29) If, after an impact, you smell fuel
or notice leaks from the fuel
system, do not reactivate the
switch to avoid the risk of fire.
30) Before reactivating the fuel
cut-off switch, carefully check for
fuel leaks or damage to the
vehicle's electrical devices (e.g.
headlights).

The dead lock device therefore
offers the best possible protection
against break-in attempts. We
recommend engaging it whenever
the vehicle is parked and left
unattended.

perfectly shut, the dead lock device
will not be activated, thus
preventing a person getting into the
car through the open door and,
on shutting, it, remaining stuck
inside the passenger compartment.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled
automatically on every door in the
following cases:❒if the mechanical key is turned to the
opening position in the driver's door;
❒by unlocking the doors using the
remote control;
❒by turning the ignition key to the
MAR-ON position.

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-ON 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
Pressoron the control panel
fig. 124.
The instrument panel display shows
the position in relation to the
adjustment set.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment
of the light beams each time the
weight of the load transported
changes.
FOG LIGHTS
ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and
adjusted.ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are
aligned for operation in the country
where the vehicle was originally
purchased. When in countries
where you drive on the other side of
the road, you need to alter the
beam direction by affixing a
specially designed self-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.

The TPMS uses wireless devices
with electronic sensors mounted on
the wheel rims to constantly
monitor the value of tyre pressure.
The sensors mounted on each
wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit various information of the
tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
WARNING Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in
all four tyres are particularly
important.
Tyre pressure
monitoring system
low pressure
warnings
The system warns the driver if one
or more tyres are flat by switching
on the warning light
on the
instrument panel (together with a
warning message and an acoustic
signal).In this case, stop the vehicle as
soon as possible, check the
inflation pressure of each tyre and
inflate to the cold tyre pressure
value prescribed for the vehicle.
The system will automatically
update and after receiving the tyre
pressure update the tyre pressure
control warning light switches
off. You may need to drive
the vehicle for about 20 minutes at
a speed higher than 20 km/h to
allow the system to receive this
information.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes
for 75 seconds and then stays
on steadily. This can occur in any of
the following situations:
❒interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
❒Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
❒Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
❒Use of snow chains.❒Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
❒The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure
control sensor. Therefore, the tyre
pressure is not controlled by the
system.
❒If the space-saver wheel replaces a
tyre with a pressure lower than the
insufficient pressure limit, an acoustic
signal will be emitted and the warning
light
will switch on at the next
ignition cycle.
❒When the original tyre is repaired or
replaced and it is mounted back on
the vehicle to replace the space-
saver wheel, the TPMS will update
automatically and the warning light
will switch off, provided that the
pressure of none of the four tyres is
below the insufficient pressure limit.
You may need to drive the vehicle for
about 20 minutes at a speed higher
than 20 km/h to allow the TPMS
to receive this information.
