ADJUSTING THE SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
64) 65)
The seat belt height can be adjusted to
various positions using the regulator
on the central pillar.
Always adjust the height of the seat
belts to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
61) Never press button C fig. 123
when travelling.
62) Remember that, in the event of a
violent collision, back-seat
passengers not wearing seat belts
represent a serious danger to
the front-seat passengers as well
as to themselves.63) Make sure that the backrest is
correctly secured on both sides
(red bands B not visible) to
prevent it from moving forward in
the event of sharp braking,
causing injuries to passengers.
64) The height of the seat belts must
be adjusted with the vehicle
stationary.
65) After the height adjustment,
always check that the regulator is
locked in one of the preset
positions. To do this, push
downwards to enable the locking
device to click if the grip has
not been released in one of the
possible positions.
SBR SYSTEM
This system consists of a device which,
through the
warning light coming
on the instrument panel and,
depending on vehicle conditions, an
acoustic signal, warns the driver and
front passenger if their seat belts have
not been fastened (for versions where
provided).
If the driver side and/or the passenger
side seat belts are not fastened (with
passenger seated), when 20 km/h
is exceeded or when travelling at
a speed between 10 and 20 km/h for
longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic
signal sequence will be started
(continuous acoustic signal for the first
6 seconds followed by about 90
seconds of intermittent beeping and the
warning light will flash).
At the end of the cycle the
warning
light will stay on fixed until the engine is
switched off or the seat belts are
fastened.
For permanent deactivation, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
The SBR system can also be
reactivated through the setup menu.

SAFETY

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a violent head-on crash or
side impact, rewind the seat belts a
few centimetres. In this way, they
ensure that the belts fit tightly to the
wearer before the restraining action
begins.
The seat belt retractor locks to indicate
that the pretensioner has cut in; the
seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guided manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
keeping it tight to the chest and pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not indicate any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication. Anything
that modifies its original conditions
invalidates its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must
absolutely be replaced.
66)
16)
LOAD LIMITERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To increase passenger safety, the
front and rear seat belt retractors (for
versions/markets where provided)
contain a load limiter which controls the
force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining
action in the event of a frontal collision.
GENERAL WARNINGS
FOR USING THE SEAT
BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting
(and ensuring that all the other
passengers also respect) the local laws
in force regarding the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant mothers: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child
if they are wearing a seat belt. Pregnant
women must position the lower part
of the belt very low down so that it
passes over the pelvis and under the
abdomen (see fig. 127 ).IMPORTANT The belt must not be
twisted. The upper part must pass over
the shoulder and cross the chest
diagonally. The lower part must adhere
to the pelvis (as shown in fig. 128)
rather than the abdomen of the
passenger. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt
away from your body.

STARTING AND DRIVING

SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a speed
limitation function that can be set at the
user's request to one of four predefined
values: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker will be
applied to the windscreen showing the
top speed setting.
IMPORTANT The speedometer could
indicate a higher maximum speed than
the effective one, set by the Dealership,
in accordance with the regulations in
force.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic driving aid that
allows you to drive at a speed of
above 30 km/h on long and straight
dry roads (e.g. motorways) with
few driving changes at a preset
speed without having to press the
accelerator pedal. It is therefore not
recommended to use this device
on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do
not use it in town.
Activating the device
When the device is activated, warning
light
comes on together with the
relevant message in the instrument
panel (for versions/markets where
provided).
The speed adjustment function cannot
be activated in 1st or reverse gear; it
is advisable to activate the function
in 4th or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
activated, the vehicle speed may
exceed the memorised one.
95) 96)
Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 150 to ON and
press the accelerator pedal so that
the vehicle reaches the desired
speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it: the
vehicle speed is memorised and
you can therefore release the
accelerator pedal.

WARNING
95) When travelling with the device
active, never move the gear lever
to neutral.
96) In the event of device faults or
failures, turn the ring nut A to
OFF and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful
for setting off in poor grip conditions
(snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the
drive force to be distributed in the
best way over the front axle when one
wheel is slipping.
Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those slipping
more than the others), thereby
transferring the drive force to those
which have greater grip on the ground.
This function can be activated manually
by pressing the A fig. 151 button on
the control panel and operates under
50 km/h. When this speed is exceeded,
it is automatically deactivated and it is
reactivated again when the speed
falls below 50 km/h.Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system press the A fig. 151 button.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
❒inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine
torque;
❒the differential locking effect on the
front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on constantly.

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic
converter leads to harmful exhaust
emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an
emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART
additive in the proportions shown on
the container. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
22)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK PLUG
Opening
1) Open flap A fig. 153, pulling it
outwards, hold cap B still, insert the
ignition key in the lock and turn it
anticlockwise.2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it. The cap has a device C that
attaches it to the flap so it cannot be
lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the plug is
absolutely normal.
