PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front seat
belts, the vehicle is fitted with preten-
sioners. These devices, in the event of a
violent front and side crash, rewind the
seat belts a few centimetres. In this way
they ensure that the seat belt perfectly ad-
heres to the wearer before the restrain-
ing action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-
vice has tripped; the seat belt cannot be
drawn back up even when guiding it man-
ually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
keeping it firmly close to the chest and
pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be pro-
duced. This smoke is in no way toxic and
presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner can only be
used once. Go to a Fiat Deal-
ership to have it replaced after is has
been deployed. The expiration date
of the device is shown on the label in
the oddment compartment. Refer to
the FIAT Dealership when it is time to
replace the device.
WARNING
Operations which lead to
knocks, vibrations or localised
heating (over 100°C for a
maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may
cause damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibrations
caused by irregularities of the road sur-
face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.
Contact a Fiat Dealership for any as-
sistance.The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing. 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
necessarily be replaced.

ENGINE START-UP
PROCEDURE FOR
DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning light
mwill come on in the
instrument panel.
❒wait until the warning lights Yand
mturn off. The hotter the engine, the
quicker this will happen;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way down
without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVas soon
as the warning light
mturns off. Wait-
ing too long will waste the work done
by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT When the engine is cold,
rotate the ignition key to AVVto com-
pletely release the accelerator pedal.If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If with the ignition key on MAR, the in-
strument panel warning light Yremains
on, turn the key to STOPand then back
to MAR; if the warning light remains on,
try with the other keys provided with the
vehicle.
Contact the Fiat Dealership if the engine
still will not start.
The warning light
mblinks
for 60 seconds after starting
or during prolonged cranking
to indicate a fault to the glow
plug heating system. Use the vehicle
normally if the engine starts, but con-
tact the Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
WARMING THE
ENGINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER
START-UP
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium speed. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒do not demand maximum performance
for the first few kilometres. Wait until
the engine coolant gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY START
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if an
instrument panel warning lightYaremains
on constantly.
Never jump start the engine
by pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause a
flow of fuel into the catalyt-
ic converter and damage it beyond re-
pair.

CLEANING DPF
(PARTICULATE
FILTER) IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions with
DPF - amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR
(ON), the warning light switches on but it
must switch off after a few seconds. The
warning light comes on constantly to no-
tify the driver that the DPF system needs
to eliminate captured pollutants (particu-
late) by the regeneration process. The
warning light does not come on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when
driving conditions require notification of
the driver. To switch the warning light off,
the car must stay in motion until regen-
eration has been completed. The process
normally takes about 15 minutes. The op-
timum conditions to end the process are
achieved by keeping the car in motion up
to 60km/h with an engine speed higher
than 2,000 rpm. This light coming on is not
a car defect and therefore the car does
not need to go to the workshop. A spe-
cific message will appear on the display
when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
When the ignition key is moved
to MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when about 6
to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light flashes to
indicate a system failure. If this is the case,
go to a Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.GLOW PLUG HEATING

Glow plug heating
The warning light goes on when the key is
turned to MAR. It goes out as soon as the
glow plugs have reached the preset tem-
perature. Start the engine as soon as the
warning light goes out.
IMPORTANT At high ambient tempera-
tures the warning light stays on for an ex-
tremely short time.
Glow plug heating failure
The warning light flashes in the event of
a failure in the glow plug heating system.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
h
ç
mAlways drive at a speed ap-
propriate to the traffic con-
ditions, the weather and speed limits.
The engine may be turned off while
the DPF light is on; however, repeat-
ed interruption of the regeneration
process may result in premature ex-
haustion of engine oil. For this reason
it is always advisable to wait for the
light to go off before turning off the
engine, following the instructions ap-
pearing above. It is not advisable to
complete DPF regeneration with the
vehicle stationary.

pressor for longer than 20
consecutive minutes. Risk of over-
heating. The fast repair kit is not suit-
able for permanent repairs. The tyres
may only be repaired temporarily.
WARNING
Put on the safety gloves pro-
vided together with the fast
tyre repair kit.
WARNING
The cylinder contains ethyl-
ene glycol. Contains latex:
may cause an allergic reaction.
Harmful if swallowed. Irritates the
eyes. May cause sensitization by in-
halation or contact. Avoid contact
with your eyes, skin and clothes. In
the event of contact, wash immedi-
ately with plenty of water. Do not in-
duce vomiting if swallowed. Rinse
your mouth and drink plenty of wa-
ter. Call a doctor immediately. Keep
away from children. The product
must not be used by asthmatics. Do
not breath in the vapours during in-
sertion and suction. Call a doctor im-
mediately if allergic reactions are not-
ed. Store the cylinder in the specific
compartment, away from sources of
heat. The sealing fluid will expire. Re-
place the cylinder containing the
sealant after the expiration date.

AND CARE
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park the vehicle
under trees; the resinous substance re-
leased by many species give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibility of
triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window in-
side gently with a cloth in the direction
of the filaments to avoid damaging the
heating device.Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly
wash the engine compartment taking care
not to direct the water jet against the elec-
tronic control units and the relay/fuse con-
trol unit on the left side of the engine com-
partment (running direction). Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT Perform this operation on
a cold engine and with the key at STOP.
After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes (e.g.: ace-
tone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens. Detergents cause water pol-
lution. The vehicle should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
