2016 FIAT TALENTO start

SPEED LIMITER
151)
The vehicle's speed can be
permanently limited according to the
vehicle version and the local
regulations.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to modify the
speed limit or activate/deactivate the
function.
It may not be possible to deactivate this
function for specific markets.
Label 1 fig. 215 on the dashboard
reminds you of the speed limit.
NOTE If the vehicle is equipped with the
Speed Limiter, pressing the accelerator
firmly or all the way down (past the
"resistance point") does not let you go
beyond the speed limit (refer to the
"Speed limiter" paragraph).IMPORTANT In certain situations (for
example, a steep slope) the speed
limiter can be exceeded slightly,
because the device does not intervene
on the braking system.
WARNING
151)This function does not take the
driver's place. Nor does it allow the
vehicle's driving limits to be ignored,
encouraging faster driving. However, this
does not exempt the driver from normal
driving safety or from responsibility.
MINIMUM SPEED
Press control 1 fig. 216 and the
function is activated after a few
seconds

STARTING AND DRIVING

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.

Bayonet light bulb P 21W.Number plate lights
The bulb can be reached in the same
way as in vehicles with swing doors as
for tailgate.
Remove the lens 12 fig. 245 (using a
screwdriver).
Remove the cover to access the bulb.
Types of bulbs: W5W.
WARNING
156)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
157)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.158)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold,
RISK OF BURNS!
159)When intervening under the bonnet,
the solenoid valve could start up
automatically at any time. Risk of injury.
160)The bulbs are under pressure and
could explode while being replaced. Risk of
injury.
IMPORTANT
29)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.

IN AN EMERGENCY

To extract the spare wheel B fig. 252:with tool A fig. 251 completely undo
nut 5 fig. 252 (right side) and partially
undo nut 3 fig. 252 (left side) in order to
free the basket 4 fig. 252 from nut 3;
free the spare wheel.
Depending on the version, there is
documentation with the instructions
described above in the tool box.
To put spare tyre B fig. 252 back in
place, proceed in the reverse order.
Check that bracket 4 is positioned
correctly before tightening nuts 3 and 5
fig. 252.IMPORTANT In some cases (rear wheel
puncture, vehicle loaded with tow
system) you may need to lift the vehicle
up (from the closest lifting point to the
tyre concerned) to be able to access
the spare tyre.
Wheel plate
Remove wheel plate 9 using wrench 5
fig. 253, inserting the hook in one of the
plate's outside openings.
To refit the plate, position it with respect
to valve 10 fig. 253.

IN AN EMERGENCY

Replacing a wheel
Undo the wheel nuts with wrench 1
fig. 255.
Position the jack 2 fig. 256 horizontally
so that its head 3 fig. 256 coincides
with the hole under the chassis nearest
to the wheel concerned.
Start raising the jack to rest the base
correctly (it should be slightly under the
vehicle and aligned with the jack head).
Undo the nuts and remove the tyre.
Position the spare tyre in the centre of
the hub.
Tighten the nuts and lower the jack.
When the tyre is on the ground, tighten
the screws hard and check their
tightness as soon as possible.IMPORTANT If you are using
tamper-proof screws, position them as
close as possible to the valve (it could
be impossible to fit the wheel plate).
WARNING
166)Activate hazard warning lights Park
the vehicle far from traffic on level, resistant
and not slippery ground. Pull up the
handbrake and engage a gear. Get all the
occupants out of the car and far from
traffic.
167)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
168)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out of
the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic.169)The spare tyre is not the same size as
the other four. Never fit more than one
spare tyre on the same vehicle. The
standard wheel is larger than the spare
wheel, so the vehicle will be lower. Replace
the spare tyre as soon as possible with a
tyre identical to the original. While in use,
which has to be temporary, your speed
should not exceed that indicated on the
wheel's label. If you have to use snow
chains, fit the spare tyre on the rear axle
and check the tyre pressures. Fitting this
tyre can alter the vehicle's normal
behaviour. Avoid accelerating or braking
abruptly and lower your speed on curves.
170)Never leave tools haphazardly in the
vehicle: if you brake suddenly, they could
scatter around the floorboards, causing a
hazard to the occupants. After use, be sure
to fasten the tools in the tool bag, then
place it correctly in its position: risk of
injuries. The jack must only be used for
changing a wheel. It should never be used
to raise the vehicle to perform a repair
underneath.
171)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.

TYRE INFLATION KIT
172)
32) 33) 34) 35) 36) 37) 38)
To take the kit out, move the seat as far
forward as possible and lower the
backrest.Undo the tool bag fixing screw C
fig. 258 and then turn the bag to
remove it.
Precautions for using the kit
The kit must not be used for more than
15 consecutive minutes.
With the engine started and the
handbrake engaged;
unwind the hose from the canister;
connect compressor hose 3
fig. 259 to the canister 8,
depending on the versions, connect
or screw in canister 8 to the
compressor where there is a hollow 7
fig. 259;
unscrew the tyre valve cap involved
and screw the inflation hose 1 fig. 259;
disconnect all the accessories
previously connected to the accessory
socket;
only connect plug 2 fig. 259 to the
vehicle’s accessory socket;
press switch 4 fig. 259 to inflate the
tyre to the prescribed pressure (refer to
the "Tyre inflation pressure” paragraph
in the “Maintenance and care” chapter);
after 15 minutes at most, stop
inflating;
NOTE While emptying the canister
(about 30 seconds), the pressure gauge
5 fig. 259 briefly indicates a pressure of
up to 6 bar, then it goes back down
again.
adjust the pressure: to increase it,
continue inflating the tyre with the kit; to
lower it, press button 6 fig. 259.
If after 15 minutes a minimum pressure
of 1.8 bar has not been reached, it
means that you cannot repair the tyre;
do not drive and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Once the tyre has been correctly
inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew
the inflation hose 1 fig. 259 so the
product does not spatter and replace
the canister in a plastic bag so that the
product does not leak out.
Attach the instruction label on the
dashboard where the driver can see it;
replace the kit in the tool bag and put
it back under the driver's seat;
when the first inflation has been
done, the tyre will continue to lose air
and you need to start driving again to
plug the hole;
