59)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
60)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
61)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™5"or7" HD
system.
62)If the iTMPS system signals a pressure
decrease on the tyres, it is recommended
to check the pressure on all four tyres.
63)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
64)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold
65)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
66)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.67)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
IMPORTANT
18)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
19)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
20)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.
21)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.
22)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.
23)Do not tamper nor operate on the radar
sensor. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
24)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™5"or7" HDsystem.25)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
26)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.

particulate filter (DPF) regeneration in
progress (Diesel engines only);
driver's door not shut;
driver's seat belt not fastened;
reverse gear engaged (e.g. for
parking manoeuvres);
only for versions equipped with an
automatic climate control, if an
adequate level of thermal comfort has
not been reached or with MAX-DEF
function active;
during the first period of use, to
initialise the system.
ENGINE RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart
automatically without any action by the
driver, when the car and the passenger
compartment climate control system
are in certain conditions, such as:
With gear engaged, automatic engine
restarting is possible only by fully
pressing the clutch pedal.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped through
the Stop/Start system, if the driver
releases their seat belt or opens the
driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the
ignition device.This condition is indicated to the driver
both through a buzzer and a message
on the display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
If, following the automatic engine
restarting, the driver does not carry out
any action for more than 3 minutes, the
Stop/Start system stops the engine
definitely, to prevent fuel consumption.
In these cases, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition device.
NOTE In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Stop/Start system is deactivated.
For failure indications, see the "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph,
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
110)
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection of
the battery power supply.
WARNING
110)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. Replace
the battery with a new one of the same
type and specifications.
IMPORTANT
33)If the climate comfort is to be favoured,
the Start&Stop system can be deactivated,
for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.

to each country you are driving in, in the
case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case, the top speed must not exceed
100 km/h.
Any electric brake must be powered
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross-section of no less than 2.5
mm
2.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use
the preset control unit with a battery
cable with section not less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (e.g. electric
brake) must take place with engine
running.
INSTALLING A TOW
HOOK
To install a tow hook contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
122)The ABS with which the car is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.123)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the car’s hydraulic system.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
124) 125) 126)
Before refuelling, make sure that the
fuel type is correct.
Also stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 95
(EN228 specification).
DIESEL ENGINES
45)
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available Diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun.
Further top-ups could cause faults in
the fuel feeding system.
113 

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.

SERVICING
PROCEDURES
160) 162) 163)
The following pages contain the rules
on therequiredmaintenance
envisaged by the technical personnel
who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific
maintenance instructions specified for
routine scheduled servicing, there are
other components which may require
intervention or replacements over the
vehicle’s life cycle.
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
65)
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the
prescribed level (see "Engine
compartment" in this chapter).
Check the oil level at regular intervals,
each time you refuel for example.
It must be checked about 5 minutes
after stopping the engine, once full
operating temperature is reached. The
vehicle must also be parked on as level
a surface as possible.
Ensure that the oil level is within the
15809036J0001EM
159
interval on the dipstick between the
minimum and maximum limits. 

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the vehicle;
extra-urban cycle: followed by driving simulating extra-urban use of the car with frequent accelerating in all gears, speed
varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the
extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that
adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured.
IMPORTANT The fuel consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.
