IMPORTANT
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the
steering.
2)Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not
running, doing so will cause the battery to
be discharged.
3)Do not turn the key to the “START”
position while the engine is running. Doing
so could damage the starter motor.
4)The indicator lamp (A) will flash orange
when there is a problem or malfunction in
the keyless operation system. Never drive if
the indicator lamp on the engine switch is
flashing orange. Immediately contact your
Fiat Dealership.
5)If the engine switch operation is not
smooth and feels like it is sticking, do not
operate the switch. Immediately contact
your Fiat Dealership.
6)When the engine is not running, put the
operation mode in OFF. Leaving the
operation mode in ON or ACC for a long
time when the engine is not running may
cause the battery to be discharged, making
it impossible to start the engine, lock and
unlock the steering wheel.7)When the battery is disconnected, the
current operation mode is memorized. After
reconnecting the battery, the memorized
mode is selected automatically. Before
disconnecting the battery for repair or
replacement, make sure to put the
operation mode in OFF. Be careful if you
are not sure which operation mode the
vehicle is in when the battery is run down.
8)The operation mode cannot be changed
from OFF to ACC or ON if the keyless
operation key is not detected to be in the
vehicle. Refer to “Keyless operation system:
Operating range for starting the engine and
changing the operation mode”.
9)When there is the keyless operation key
in the vehicle and the operation mode isn’t

WARNING
43)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case can
they protect your head correctly. To take
best advantage of the protection provided
by the head restraint, adjust the seat back
so that you are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head restraint as
possible.
44)Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.45)Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
46)When a person sits in the middle
seating position of the rear seat, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks
in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered in the
result of an impact (Double cab).
47)Make sure that the height adjusting
knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in
the illustration, and also lift the head
restraints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.
48)The shape and size of the head
restraint differs according to the seat.
Always use the correct head restraint
provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction.
