RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful
emissions and safety purposes, the power
unit can restart automatically without any
action on behalf of the driver if certain
conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maxi-
mum speed;
❒extreme braking system pressure, e.g.
following the brake pedal being pressed
repeatedly;
❒car moving around, for example when
driving on hilly roads;
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than about
three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for
establishing a comfortable temperature
or enabling the MAX – DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can be au-
tomatically restarted only by fully de-
pressing the clutch pedal. The driver is
asked to perform this operation through
a message on the instrument panel and,
for versions/markets, where provided, by
the warning lightfig. 102on the instru-
ment panel flashing
NB: If the clutch is not pressed, when the
three minutes have elapsed since the en-
gine was stopped, the engine can be
restarted only by using the key.NB: In cases when the engine stops and
this is not desired, due for example to the
clutch pedal being released sharply with
a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system
is activated, the engine can be restarted by
fully depressing the clutch pedal or by
putting the gear lever into neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the
Start&Stop system, if the driver unfastens
his/her seat belt and opens the driver’s
door or the passenger door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition
both by a buzzer and through an infor-
mation message on the display and (for
versions/markets, where provided) by the
warning lightfig. 102on the instrument
panel flashing.ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, after the engine has been automatical-
ly restarted, the driver does not take any
action for a period of about 3 minutes, the
Start&Stop system will definitively stop the
engine to avoid fuel consumption. In these
cases, the engine can be restarted only by
using the key.
NB: In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
Start&Stop system.
OPERATING IRREGULARITIES
In the case of malfunctions the Start&Stop
system is disabled. The driver is informed
of the problem by the general failure
warning lightA-fig. 102, for versions/
markets, where provided, coming on with
an information message and the system
failure symbolB-fig. 102on the control
panel. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The “GSI” system (Gear Shift Indicator)
advises the driver to change gear via a sig-
nal on the instrument panel (seefig. 108).
Through the GSI, where provided, the dri-
ver is advised that changing gear will re-
duce fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
cutting fuel consumption, it is recom-
mended to follow the suggestions of the
Gear Shift Indicator.When the SHIFT UP icon (
NSHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI is advising
the driver to select a higher gear, while
the SHIFT DOWN icon (
OSHIFT) sug-
gests a lower gear should be engaged.
If you want to prioritise cli-
mate comfort, the Start&Stop
system can be disabled to allow con-
tinuous operation of the climate con-
trol system.

SAFETY
Do not place a cradle seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is enabled. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the baby regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable
to always carry children in dedicat-
ed child seats on the rear seat, which
is the most protected position in the
event of an accident.
WARNING
SERIOUS HAZARD Should
it be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front
seat in a backwards-facing
cradle seat, the passenger’s
front and side airbags should
be deactivated through the setup
menu. Deactivation can be verified by
checking the
“warning light on the
instrument panel. Also, the passen-
ger seat should be as far back as pos-
sible to avoid contact between the
child seat and the dashboard.
WARNING

The diagram is only an indi-
cation. For assembly, refer to
the instructions supplied with the
child seat.
WARNING
GROUPS 0 e 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing
backwards
on a cradle seat, which, by supporting the
head, does not induce stress on the neck
in the event of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is held in place by the car seat
belts fig. 8and in turn it must restrain the
child with its own belts.
GROUPS 1
From 9 kg to 18 kg of weight, children may
be carried facing forwards.

SUITABILITY OF PASSENGER SEATS FOR CHILD SEAT USE
The car complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC which governs the
arrangement possibilities for child seats on the various seats of the car as shown in
the following table:Below is a summary of the safety
rules to be followed when carrying
children:
1) The recommended position for in-
stalling child seats is on the rear seat, as
it is the most protected area in the event
of a crash.
2) When disengaging the passenger
airbag, always check the amber warning
light on the instrument panel is perma-
nently on to make sure that the airbag has
actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions that
came with the child seat, which the man-
ufacturer must supply by law. Keep the in-
structions in the car along with the other
documents and this handbook. Do not use
second hand child seats without instruc-
tions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling on it.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into
each retaining system; never carry two
children using one child seat.
6) Always check the seat belts do not
rest on the child’s neck.
7) While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No one, however strong, can
hold a child in the event of an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the
child seat with a new one.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION
OF FRONT AND SIDE CHEST/
PELVIS PASSENGER AIRBAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on
the front seat, the passenger’s front and side
chest/pelvis airbags (for versions/ markets,
where provided) must be deactivated.
The warning light
“on the instrument
panel stays on steadily until the passenger’s
front and side chest airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) are re-activated.
To manually deactivate the
passenger’s front and side
chest/pelvis airbags (for versions/mar -
kets, where provided), refer to para-
graphs “Digital display” and “Mul -
tifunction display” in the section
“Dashboard and controls”.
WARNING
SIDE AIRBAGS
The car is fitted with front side airbags
for driver and passenger (for versions/
mar kets, where provided) for protecting
the chest and pelvis, and window bags
(for versions/markets, where provided)
for protecting the heads of front and rear
passengers.
Side airbags (for versions/markets, where
provided) protect car occupants from
side-on crashes of medium/high severity
by placing the bag between the occupant
and the internal parts of the side structure
of the car.
Non-activation of side bags in other types
of collisions (head-on collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc…) is not an indi-
cation of system malfunction.
In the event of a side-on crash, an elec-
tronic control unit triggers the inflation of
the bag if required. The cushion immedi-
ately inflates, placing itself between the oc-
cupant’s body and structures that could
cause injuries, the cushion deflates Imme-
diately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets, where
provided) are not a replacement for, but
rather a complement to, the seat belts,
which should be worn at all times as spec-
ified by law in Europe and most non-Eu-
ropean countries.FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS
- CHEST AND PELVIS
ZONE PROTECTION fig. 17
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Front side airbags are housed in the seat
backrests. They consist of an instant-in-
flation bag designed to increase protection
of the occupants’ chest and pelvis zone in
the event of a side-on crash of medium/
high severity.
