closed by pulling up the switch fully, if a
hand or head is trapped in the closing
window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody
puts their head or hand out of the
window when closing the driver’s door
window. The lowered window will
become operational after a few
seconds.
NOTE The safety mechanism can be
activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances cause the driver’s
door window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by
a trapped hand or head.
WARNING
61)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or by being hit.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch to avoid the
risk of injury to anyone remaining in the car
due to accidental operation of the electric
windows.
62)Before operating the electric window
control, make sure that nothing is capable

Odometer
The odometer indicates the distance
travelled
Tripmeter
The tripmeter indicates the distance
travelled between two points.
Example usage of tripmeter A and
tripmeter B.
It is possible to measure two currently
travelled distances, from home using
tripmeter A and from a particular point
on the way using tripmeter B.
To reset tripmeter
To return the display to 0, hold down
the multi information display switch for
about 2 seconds or more. Only the
currently displayed value will be reset.
Example
If tripmeter A is displayed, only
tripmeter A will be reset.

terminal, the memory of tripmeter A and
B are cleared, and the display returns to
“0”.
Meter illumination control
Each time you press and hold the multi
information display switch (2) for about
2 seconds or more, there is a sound
and the brightness of the instruments
changes.NOTE You can adjust to 8 different
levels respectively for when the position
lamps are illuminated and when they
are not. Each time you reduce two
brightness levels, the segment display
of the brightness level decreases one
by one.
NOTE If the vehicle is equipped with
the automatic lamp control, when the
lamp switch is in a position other than
the “OFF” position, the meter
illumination switches automatically to
the adjusted brightness, depending on
the brightness outside the vehicle.
NOTE The brightness level of the
instruments is stored when the ignition
switch is turned off or the operation
mode is put in OFF.Driving range display
This displays the approximate driving
range (how many more kilometres or
miles you can drive). When the driving
range falls below approximately 50 km
(30 miles), “---” is displayed.
NOTE The driving range is determined
based on the fuel consumption data.
This may vary depending on the driving
conditions and habits. Treat the
distance displayed as just a rough
guideline.
NOTE When you refuel, the driving
range display is updated. However, if
you only add a small amount of fuel, the
correct value will not be displayed. Fill
with a full tank whenever possible.
NOTE On rare occasions, the value
displayed for the driving range may
change if you are parked on an
extremely steep incline. This is due to
the movement of fuel in the tank and
does not indicate any malfunction.
NOTE The display setting can be
changed to the preferred units (km or
miles). Refer to “Changing the function
settings”.

Warning lamps What it means
Brake warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and
goes off after a few seconds. Always make sure that the lamp goes off before driving.
With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON, the brake warning lamp illuminates under the following
conditions:
When the parking brake has been applied.
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir falls to a low level.
When the brake force distribution function is not operating correctly.With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON, a buzzer sounds under the following condition:
The vehicle speed exceeds 8 km/h with the parking brake applied.
102) 103)
47)
Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic system which monitors the emissions, engine control system or A/T
control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this lamp illuminates or flashes. Although your vehicle will usually
be drivable and not need towing, we recommend you to have the system checked as soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate when the ignition switch is turned “ON” or the operation mode is put in ON, and goes
off after the engine has started. If it does not go off after the engine has started, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
NOTE: The engine electronic control module accommodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault data
(especially about the exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is disconnected which will make a rapid diagnosis difficult. Do not
disconnect a battery cable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.

47)If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or
only the rear wheels raised off the ground,
the ASTC may operate, resulting in an
accident. When towing the vehicle with the
front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch
in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or the
operation mode in ACC or OFF. When
towing the vehicle with the rear wheels
raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“ACC” position or the operation mode in
ACC. Refer to “Towing”.
48)Prolonged driving with this lamp on
may cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
49)If the lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in
ON, we recommend you to have the
system checked.
50)If the lamp illuminates while the engine
is running, avoid driving at high speeds and
have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible. Accelerator
pedal and brake pedal response may be
negatively influenced under these
conditions.
51)If it illuminates while the engine is
running, there is a problem in the charging
system. Immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and we recommend you to have
it checked.
52)If this lamp illuminates when the engine
oil level is not low, have it inspected.
53)This warning lamp does not indicate
the amount of oil in the crankcase. This
must be determined by checking the oil
level on the dipstick, while the engine is
switched off.54)If you continue driving with low engine
oil level or with this warning lamp
illuminated, engine seizure may occur.
55)Before moving your vehicle, check that
the warning lamp is OFF.
56)If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS
airbags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners,
and they may not function properly in a
collision or may suddenly activate without a
collision: 1 – Even when the ignition switch
or the operation mode is in ON, the SRS
warning lamp does not come on or it
remains on. 2 – The SRS warning lamp
comes on while driving.
57)The SRS airbags and seat belt
pre-tensioners are designed to help reduce
the risk of serious injury or death in certain
collisions. If either of the above conditions
occurs, immediately have your vehicle
checked by a Fiat Dealership.
58)Any of the following indicates that the
ABS is not functioning and only the
standard brake system is working. (The
standard brake system is functioning
normally.) If this happens, take your vehicle
to a Fiat Dealership.
101

WARNING
104)Seat belts should always be worn by
every adult who drives or rides in this
vehicle, and by all children who are large
enough to wear seat belts properly. Other
children should always use proper child
restraint systems.
105)Always place the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put it behind you or under your arm.
106)One seat belt should be used by only
one person. Doing otherwise can be
dangerous.
107)The seat belt will provide maximum
protection if the recliner seatback is placed
in fully upright position. When the seatback
is reclined, there is greater risk that the
passenger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact accident,
and may be injured by the belt or by
striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
108)Remove any twists when using the
belt.
109)Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if
you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to your child in a
collision or sudden stop.
110)Always adjust the seat belt to a snug
fit.
111)Always wear the lap portion of the
belt over your hips.
112)Never push the button on the buckle
when travelling.113)Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Pregnant
women should use the available seat belts.
This will reduce the likelihood of injury to
both the woman and the unborn child. The
lap belt should be worn across the thighs
and as snug against the hips as possible,
but not across the waist. Consult your
doctor if you have any additional questions
or concerns.
114)Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against abdomen and
increase the risk of injury.
115)Do not attempt to repair or replace
any part of the seat belt assemblies; we
recommend you to have this work done by
a Fiat Dealership. Incorrect repair or
replacement could reduce the
effectiveness of the belts and could result
in serious injury in the event of a collision.
116)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
117)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
IMPORTANT
59)No modifications or additions should be
made which will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
60)The seat belts must not be twisted
when worn.61)We recommend you to have all seat
belt assemblies including retractors and
attaching hardware inspected after any
collision. We recommend that seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
62)Once the pre-tensioner has activated, it
cannot be re-used. It must be replaced
together with the retractor.
