KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

SIDE AIR BAGS
SIDE AIRBAGS(For versions/markets where provided)
These are air bags that can be installed
in the front seats and inflate to the side
of the seat (door side) in order to
protect the car's occupants in the event
of a violent side collision.
DRIVER'S AIR BAG(For versions/markets where provided)
These are air bags on each upper side
of the vehicle. They inflate along the
front door side windows to protect the
occupants in case of a violent side
collision.

WARNING
112)When you lend or re-sell the vehicle,
tell the new owner of these conditions for
use and hand over this owner handbook.
113)Installing seat covers: seats equipped
with airbags require covers specifically
made for the vehicle. Consult a Fiat
Dealership. Using any other liner (or liners
specific to another vehicle) could cause
these airbags to function incorrectly and
jeopardise the occupants' safety.114)Never place an accessory, an object
or an animal between the backrest, the
door and interior coverings. Do not cover
the seat backrest with items like clothing or
accessories. These could cause the airbag
to function incorrectly or cause injury when
the airbag deploys.
115)Any dismantling or changes made to
the seats and their coverings is prohibited,
except if done by qualified Fiat Dealership
personnel.
116)The airbag was conceived to
complement the seat belt. The airbag and
seat belt together constitute inseparable
components to the same protective
system. Therefore, you always need to
fasten your seat belt. Not fastening them
can put the vehicle's occupants at risk of
aggravated injury and can increase injury
risk caused by deployment of the airbag
itself.
117)Seat belt pre-tensioner and airbag
deployment in case the vehicle flips over or
a violent rear collision is not systematic.
Collisions beneath the vehicle, like hitting a
curbstone, road unevenness, stones, etc.,
can cause the system to deploy.
118)Any intervention or modification to the
complete airbag system (airbag,
pre-tensioners, electronic modules, wiring,
etc.) is severely prohibited (except by
qualified Fiat Dealership personnel).
119)For safety reasons, check the airbag
system after the vehicle has undergone an
accident, theft or attempted theft.
IMPORTANT
21)To maintain correct operation and to
prevent accidental deployment, only
qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene on the airbag system.
IMPORTANT
4)When the vehicle is scrapped, contact a
Fiat Dealership to have the gas generator
removed.

SAFETY

This message is accompanied by the
STOPlight.
This means that at least one of the tyres
is punctured or is very deflated.
Replace it or contact a Fiat Dealership if
it is punctured. Re-inflate the tyre if it is
deflated.
Warning light 1 fig. 202 flashes for a few
seconds before remaining permanent
along with the message to that effect.
This message is accompanied by the
light.
They indicate that one of the tyres has
no sensors (for example the spare). In
all other cases, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
New regulations concerning tyre
pressure
The tyre pressure must be checked
when cold(see the label located on
the driver's door pillar). If tyre pressure
checking cannot be donecold,
increase the pressure 0.2-0.3 bar
(3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Spare tyre
If the vehicle has one, the spare tyre
has no sensors. When this is mounted
on the vehicle, warning light 1
fig. 202 flashes for a few seconds
before staying on together with the
warning light, while a dedicated
message is displayed on the instrument
panel.Spray can to repair the tyres and
inflation kit.
According to the valve specifics, only
use equipment approved by a Fiat
Dealership. Please see the paragraph
"Tyre kit" in the "Emergency" chapter.
IMPORTANT This function provides an
additional aid to the driver; however, it
cannot replace him. It does not exempt
you from ordinary driving safety or from
responsibility in case of an accident.
Check tyre pressure, including the
spare tyre, once a month.
IMPORTANT For the safety of the driver
and anyone else on board, you must
stop as soon as traffic conditions allow
when theSTOPwarning light turns on.

SAFETY

A general grade from 0 to 100 appears
that allows you to assess your
ecological driving performance: high
values mean reduced fuel consumption.
Below is some ecological advice to
improve your performance. Store your
preferred routes lets you compare
performances. For further information,
refer to the RADIO/TOUCH – RADIO
NAV supplement.
ECOMODE
ECOMODE is a function that optimises
fuel consumption. It acts on a few of
the vehicle's uses (heating, air
conditioning, power steering, etc.) and
on a few driving operations
(acceleration, gear shift, speed
regulation, deceleration, etc.).
Activation of the function
Press button 4 fig. 219.
TheECOfig. 220 indicator light 5 on
the instrument panel turns on to
confirm that it has been activated.
While driving, you can temporarily leave
the ECOMODE function to reset all
engine performances.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly.
The ECOMODE function is reactivated
as soon as you release the accelerator.Deactivating the function
Press button 4 fig. 219.
TheECOfig. 220 warning light 5 on the
instrument panel turns off to confirm
that it has been deactivated.
Behaviour
Rather than heat the engine while
stopped, we advise you to drive
moderately until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature.
Speed increases fuel consumption.
Do not strain the engine by
exceeding speed in intermediary gears.
Use the highest gear.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Brake as little as possible. By
assessing the danger or curve in
advance, it will be sufficient to lift your
foot off the accelerator.
When going uphill, we advise you to
keep a steady speed, without having to
change it.
In modern vehicles, double clutching
before stopping the engine is not
necessary and could even cause
damage.Tyres fig. 221
Pressure too low can increase fuel
consumption.
Using unsuitable tyres can increase
fuel consumption.

IN AN EMERGENCY

speed between 20 and 60 km/h to
uniformly distribute the product on the
tyre and, after 3 kilometres, stop to
check the pressure;
if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than prescribed, you need to
adjust it (see the label attached to the
driver's door pillar), otherwise see a Fiat
Dealership: you cannot repair it.
WARNING
172)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.
IMPORTANT
32)The kit can repair tyres whose treads A
fig. 257 are damaged by foreign objects
smaller than 4 millimetres. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts larger
than 4 millimetres and those on side B
fig. 257 of the tyre. Also make sure the rims
are in good condition. Do not remove the
foreign object that caused the puncture if it
is implanted in the tyre.33)Do not use the inflation kit if the tyre is
damaged by driving with a puncture. Check
the tyre sides carefully before any
intervention. Travelling with partially or
completely deflated tyres (or punctured)
can cause safety problems and damage
the concerned tyre beyond repair. This
reparation is temporary. A tyre that has
been punctured must be examined (and
repaired if possible) by a specialist as soon
as possible. When replacing a tyre repaired
by the kit, always notify the tyre repairer.
When driving, you can feel vibrations
caused by the product being in the tyre.
34)The kit is approved only for inflating
tyres of vehicles that were originally
equipped with it. It should never be used to
inflate another vehicle's tyres or any other
object (life vests, inflatable mattresses,
etc.). Avoid splashing on skin when using
the repair canister. If the product comes in
contact with skin, rinse thoroughly. Keep
the kit out of the reach of children. Do not
leave empty canister in the environment.
Deliver it to a Fiat Dealership or to a
consortium specialised in its disposal. The
canister has an expiration date indicated on
the label. Check the expiration date. Go to
a Fiat Dealership to replace the inflation
hose and repair canister.
35)Before using the kit, park the vehicle so
it is sufficiently far from traffic, turn on the
emergency lights, pull up the handbrake
and get all the occupants out of the vehicle,
moving them far away from the traffic.
36)In case you are stopped by the
carriageway, warn other road users that
your vehicle is there by placing the warning
triangle or other device allowed by law in
the country you are driving in.37)Caution, a missing or badly screwed on
valve cap could impact the tyre's grip and
cause a loss of pressure. The valve caps
must all be identical to the original ones
and screwed tightly.
38)After repair using the kit, do not drive
farther than 200 km. In addition, lower your
speed, and in any case do not exceed
80 km/h. The label is to be attached in a
visible part of the dashboard. Depending
on the market country or local laws, a tyre
repaired with the inflation kit must be
replaced.
