IMPORTANT
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Talento versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or
versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which
is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the
production of the model, outside the explicit request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the
wording (for versions/markets, where provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy

NOTE When driving, each time the
vehicle stops, the windscreen wipers
slow down: from fast to slow
continuous operation. As soon as the
vehicle moves again, the wipers return
to the initially selected speed. Any
movement of lever 1 fig. 80 takes
precedence and annuls any

IMPORTANT The C fig. 80 operation
mode is only accessible when the
starter device is inserted. Functions B
and D fig. 80 can only be accessed
with the engine started.
NOTE There is a service position for
replacing the wiper blades. With the
starter switch on and engine off, lower
the wiper lever 1 fig. 81 completely
(position D). The wiper blades will stop
in a free position (refer to the "Screen
wiper" paragraph in the "Maintenance
and care” chapter).
Windscreen washer
With starter device inserted, pull lever 1
fig. 82 towards the driver. Pulling the
lever briefly, activates a single wipe
together with the screen washer. Pulling
the lever for a longer time, activates
three consecutive wipes together with
the screen washer, and then a fourth
wipe after a few seconds.IMPORTANT In the case of ice or snow,
clean the windscreen (including the
central section behind the interior rear
view mirror) and the rear window before
activating the wipers (risk of overheating
their electric motor). Check the status
of the wiper blades:
they have to stay clean: clean both
windscreen and rear window regularly
with soapy water;
do not use them when the
windscreen and rear window are dry;
detach them from the windscreen or
rear window if they have not been used
for a long time.
In any case, replace them as soon as
they are no longer efficient: about once
a year. Before using the rear wiper,
check that there is no item that could
interfere with the wiper trajectory.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

CONTROL PANEL
AND ON-BOARD
INSTRUMENTS
On-board computer 1 fig. 167
Depending on the vehicle version, it
includes the following functions:
distance travelled;
travel parameters;
information messages;
malfunction messages (together with
warning lights
);
alarm messages (together with the
STOPwarning light).
Selection buttons for displaying
Scroll up (button 9) or down (button 10)
for the following information, pressing a
few times briefly (the display will depend
on the vehicle's equipment and country
of sale) fig. 168.You can view the following information
on the display screen:
overall and partial odometer for the
distance travelled;
fuel consumed;
average fuel consumption;
instantaneous consumption;
foreseeable autonomy;
distance travelled;
average speed;
service limit, oil change counter;
tyre pressure re-initialisation;
speed set on the Cruise Control /
Speed Limiter;
time and temperature;
on-board log, information message
scrolling and operational malfunction;
percentage volume of remaining
additives.Resetting the trip odometer
When the "overall and partial milometer"
display is selected, press either button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the milometer is
reset to zero.
Resetting travel parameters
When one of the trip parameters is
selected on the display, press button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the display is reset.
Interpreting some of the displayed
values after resetting
The further you travel after the last
reset, the more accurate and significant
the average fuel consumption,
autonomy and average speed become.
During the first kilometers travelled after
resetting, you will notice that the
autonomy increases as you travel. This
is because the system takes the
average fuel consumption since the last
reset into account. The average fuel
consumption can decrease when:
the vehicle is no longer accelerating;
the engine reaches operating
temperature (reset: cold engine);
going from urban to extra-urban
driving.
Automatic travel parameter reset
Reset is automatic when one of the
parameter's capacities is exceeded.

Selection examples
Meaning of the data selected
On-board computer with service limit message
Depending on how old the vehicle is, the oil change limit will adapt to driving style (frequently at low speeds, door-to-door, the least prolonged
driving, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance that remains until the next oil change can, in certain cases, thus be reduced more rapidly than the
distance actually covered.
Re-initialisation:to re-initialise the system, view the “Maintenance schedule” (distance and time), press button 9 or 10 fig. 168
for about
10 seconds without interruption until the oil change time appears fixed.
ON-BOARD: information messages
These can help vehicle ignition, provide information on a selection or on driving conditions.
ON-BOARD COMPUTER: malfunction messages
They appear along with the warning light
.When these messages appear, drive carefully to the Fiat
Dealership. Failure to follow this instruction could damage the vehicle.
They are deleted when you press the viewing selection button, or automatically after a few seconds. However, they are stored
in the on-board log. The warning light
stays on.
ON-BOARD COMPUTER: alarm messages
They appear along with the STOP warning light to make you stop as soon as traffic conditions allow, for your own
safety. Stop the engine and do not turn it back on. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT
23)When the engine is stopped, never
leave the ignition device in the "M" position
to prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
24)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
USING THE
GEARBOX
144)
25)
To engage reverse (vehicle
stopped)
From the neutral position, lift up ring 1
fig. 207 against the lever knob to
engage reverse gear.
The reverse lights go on when the gear
is engaged (starter device in position
M).
WARNING
144)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
25)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
