STARTING THE
ENGINE
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on
the display.
ENGINE STARTING
PROCEDURE
103) 104) 105) 106)
28) 29) 30) 31)
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and place
the gear lever in neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
only for diesel versions, bring the
ignition device to MAR, warning light
will come on in the instrument
panel and wait for the warning light to
switch off;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within 10
seconds, bring the ignition device back
to STOP and wait for 10-15 secondsbefore repeating the starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
103)Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
104)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
105)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
106)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
28)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km, you do
not drive to full car performance (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking, etc.).
29)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.30)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.
31)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be used
as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.

STARTING AND DRIVING

ELECTRONIC CRUISE
CONTROL MODE
Electronic Cruise Control mode is
available for travelling at constant speed
in addition to the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) mode.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
function is implemented on the vehicle,
the electronic Cruise Control works in
the same manner as the ACC (by
pressing the
button of the Cruise
Control) with the difference that:
it does not hold the distance from the
vehicle ahead;
the device keeps working if the
radar sensor is obstructed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, press the RES (Resume) button
and then release it.
WARNING
114)Pay the utmost attention while driving
at all times and be always ready to press
the brakes if needed.
115)The system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
116)The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
117)The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
118)The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
119)The device cannot apply the
maximum braking force: the car will not be
stopped completely.
IMPORTANT
34)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.35)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
36)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
37)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
38)Do not tamper nor operate on the radar
sensor. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
39)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
40)Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may automatically
deactivate and display a warning to indicate
that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even
without a malfunction warning, deactivate
the system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.

WARNING
124)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
125)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
126)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
45)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with EN
590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.

SCALDING!
128)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.129)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
130)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.
IMPORTANT
46)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.122P2000080-000-000123P1030157-000-000

On boats.
CHANGING PROCEDURE
135) 136) 137) 138) 139)
49) 50)
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
engage first gear or reverse;
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the car (anyway
comply with the laws in force in the
country you are driving in);
open the boot and if there is a cargo
box, remove it as described in the
“Cargo box” paragraph in the “Getting
to know the car” chapter.

cap and highlighted by symbol 2
coincide with the inflation valve;
place the inner part of the hub cap
on the wheel rim;
engage the hub cap by applying an
axial force in several points as shown in
fig. 142 to allow the correct coupling
between hub cap and wheel.NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted to
the space-saver wheel.
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.
WARNING
135)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
136)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.
137)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed.138)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: use it
only in the positions indicated. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
139)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT
49)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.

a visible position. Wear the protective
gloves provided. Remove the cap from
the valve of the punctured tyre and
connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 1
fig. 145;
ensure that the on-off button 1
fig. 146 is in0(OFF) position. If
provided, open the cover of the
compressor 4 fig. 144 and insert the
electrical connector in the car’s 12V
socket fig. 147, start the car engine;
activate the compressor moving
on-off 1 button toI(ON) position
fig. 146. When the pressure gauge 2
shows the car’s required pressure (see
section “Wheels” under “Technical data”
chapter), switch off the compressor
moving on-off button 1 to0position. If
after 5 minutes from the compressorignition, the pressure gauge 2 indicates
a pressure less than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
switch off the compressor, disconnect
the sealing fluid tube from the tyre
valve, re-screw the valve cap and move
the car about 10 meters to allow the
distribution of sealing fluid in the tyre.
Stop the car safely and repeat the
operation above until the required
pressure is reached. If after other 5 min.
from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge 2 still indicates a
pressure lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
the TYRE IS TOO DAMAGED AND
CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Remove and
place the kit in the specific
compartment and contact a Fiat
Dealership;
if the required pressure is reached,
restart driving. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
place the vehicle in a safe and suitable
area, engaging the parking brake. Pick
up the kit, ensure the on-off button 1 is
