2016 FIAT TALENTO instrument panel

FRONT FOG LIGHTS
Turn the central knurled ring 4 fig. 70 on
the lever 1 until the symbolappears,
then release it. Operation depends on
the exterior light position selected, with
the relative light going on on the
instrument panel.
Light function in a curve
In a curve, with parking lights on and in
certain conditions (speed, vehicle angle,
going forward, direction indicators on,
etc.), one of the front fog lights goes on
to light up the curve.
REAR FOG LIGHT
Turn the central knurled ring 4
fig. 70 until the symbolappears in
front of reference 5 fig. 70, then release
it.
Operation depends on the exterior light
position selected, with the relative light
going on on the instrument panel.Do not forget to turn this light off when
you no longer need it so it does not
bother other drivers.
Switching off
Turn the knurled ring 4 fig. 70 so it
corresponds to the relative symbol of
the front and rear fog lights that you
want to turn off. The warning light goes
off on the instrument panel. When you
turn off the exterior lights, this also
causes the front and rear fog lights to
go off.
IMPORTANT With fog, snow or when
moving items that are longer than the
roof, the automatic light turning on is
not systematic. Turning on front and
rear fog lights is at the driver's
discretion: the warning lights on the
instrument panel indicate they are on
(light on) or off (light off).

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

ADBLUE ADDITIVE
RESERVOIR
Make sure that you comply with the
laws of the country you're in.
You need to remember that if the owner
of the vehicle does not comply with the
laws in effect, there could be legal
consequences.
Operating principle
Using additives reduces exhaust
emissions, transforming polluting gases
into water vapour and nitrogen.
Filling
Usable tank capacity: Approx. 20 litres
Open the left front door to access the
flap A. Unscrew the cap 1.
43)
9) 10) 11)
IMPORTANT In vehicles equipped with
the Start&Stop function, fill with additive
when the engine is stopped. Always
stop the engine (refer to the information
about starting and stopping the engine).
Quality of the additive
Only use additives that comply with the
ISO 22241 standard and in compliance
with the label on the fuel tank flap.
Average fuel consumption
About 2 l/1000 km depending on the
vehicle version and driving style.
Operating precautions
Always read the information on the
additive package.
Handle additives carefully. They can
damage clothing, shoes, chassis
components, etc.
If the additive overflows or
contaminates any painted surface,
quickly clean the area with a damp
cloth.
In extremely cold climates
The vehicle has a heating system for
the additive that allows driving in
extremely cold conditions.
Precautions while refilling the tank
The additive congeals at temperatures
lower than about -10°C. In that case,
do not attempt to refill. However, we
advise you to top up the additive or
have a qualified professional do it when
the warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on.
44)
WARNING
43)The tank cap is specific. If you need to
replace it, make sure it is the same as the
original. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
wash the filling area with a high pressure
cleaning machine.
44)The additive must not come into
contact witheyes or skin. If that happens,
rinse thoroughly with water. If necessary,
see a doctor.
IMPORTANT
9)No kind of intervention is authorised on
any part of the system. To avoid possible
damage, only Fiat Dealership qualified
personnel is authorised to intervene on the
system.
10)When the appropriate message
appears, fill the additive tank (minimum
10 litres) and see the refilling instructions.
Danger that the vehicle will be immobilised.
11)After filling the additive tank, check that
the cap and flap are closed, start the
engine and WAIT 10 seconds with the
vehicle not moving and engine started
before starting off again. If you do not do
this, the tank filling will be automatically
detected only after a few minutes' driving.
The message to that effect and/or warning
lights will still appear until the filling has not
been detected by the system.

Irregular operation
Depending on the versions, when the
system detects irregular operation, an
appropriate message will appear on the
instrument panel along with the alarm
warning light
and an acoustic
signal going off every 5 seconds.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
52)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. When
performing these operations, always make
sure that there are no other people
(especially children) or animals on the route
you want to take. The parking sensors are
an aid for the driver, but the driver must
never allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
IMPORTANT
12)If the vehicle collides with something
when in reverse (for example against a
stake, a curbstone or any other street
furniture) you could damage the vehicle (for
example, bend an axle). To prevent any risk
of accident, have the vehicle checked at a
Fiat Dealership.13)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
14)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Fiat
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the Radar parking operation.

Impossibility to maintain speed
In the event of a steep slope, the speed
cannot be respected by the system: the
stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel to inform you of this.
Placing the function in stand-by
The function can be suspended:
by pressing button 5 (O) fig. 150;
by using the brake pedal;
by using the clutch pedal.
In the three cases, the speed stays
stored and the message to that effect
appears on the display screen.
Activation is confirmed when the light
goes off
.
Recalling the stored speed limit
If you have stored a speed, you can
recall it, after making sure the driving
conditions allow it (traffic, roadbed
conditions, weather, etc.). Press button4 fig. 150 if the vehicle speed is over
30 km/h. When recalling a stored
speed, the activation is confirmed when
the warning light goes on
.
NOTE If the preceding stored speed is
much higher than the present speed,
the vehicle will accelerate powerfully up
to this limit.
IMPORTANT When the function is in
stand-by, pressing switch 2 fig. 150 will
reactivate the regulator function without
taking into account the stored speed:
the speed the vehicle is travelling will be
used.
Interrupting the function
The function can be disengaged by
pressing button 1 fig. 151. The green
lights turning off
andon the
instrument panel confirm the function

WARNING
74)The Cruise Control does not impact the
braking system in any case.
75)It provides a supplementary driving aid.
However, it does not replace the driver. It
cannot take the place of local speed limit
observations, attentiveness (always be
ready to brake) or driver responsibility. The
Cruise Control must not be used when
traffic is heavy, on winding or slippery
roads (ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or when
weather conditions are unfavourable (fog,
rain, wind gusts, etc.). Risk of accident.
76)Be careful: we advise you to keep your
feet near the pedals so they are ready to
intervene in an emergency.
77)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
78)Putting the engine in stand-by or
deactivating the Cruise Control does not
rapidly lower the speed: you need to brake
using the brake pedal.
79)In case of a malfunction or failure of the
device, contact a Fiat Dealership.
80)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or
slippery roads.

the same as driving a vehicle not
equipped with cruise control.
Once this limit has been reached, when
you press the accelerator, you cannot
exceed the programmed speed except
in the event of an emergency (refer to
the "Exceeding the set speed limit”
paragraph).
