headlights reactivate and the
warning light switches off.
It is not possible to switch on the main
beam headlights constantly if automatic
light control is active.
FLASHING
Lights can flash by pulling the stalk
towards the steering wheel (unstable
position) regardless of the position
of ring nut A fig. 25. The
warning
light switches on in the instrument
panel.
DIRECTION INDICATORS
Bring the stalk to the (stable) position:
upwards:right direction indicator
activation /downwards:left direction
indicator activation.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

Driving in special conditions
In certain driving conditions, such as,
for example: driving around a bend (see
fig. 63) / small vehicles and/or vehicles
not aligned with the driving lane (see fig.
64) / lane change by other vehicles
(see fig. 65) the system operation might
be unexpected or delayed. Pay the
utmost attention, keeping control of the
vehicle to drive in complete safety.
iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring
System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
44) 45) 46) 47) 48) 49)
The iTPMS can monitor the tyre inflation
status through the wheel speed
sensors. The system warns the driver if
one or more tyres are flat by switching
on the warning light
on the
instrument panel and a warning
message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is in any case
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the "Reset" procedure is carried out.
"Reset" procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length dependingon the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driven on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the "Reset"
procedure is carried out.
The "Reset" procedure must be carried
out:
❒each time tyre pressure is modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the "Reset"
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" chapter).
If the "Reset" procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the "Reset" procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
❒briefly press the
button fig. 65a:
the display will show "Reset";
❒press the
button or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");

button or the
button to select ("Yes" to "Reset"
or "No" to exit the screen);

PRETENSIONERS
71) 72) 73) 74)50)
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back
the seat belts by several centimetres in
the event of a strong frontal impact.
This guarantees the perfect adherence
of the seat belts to the occupant's
bodies before the retention action
begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (fitted in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not indicate any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the torso and pelvis.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front seat belt retractors
contain a load limiter which controls the
force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining
action in the event of a head-on
collision.
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Respect and ensure that all the other
occupants of the vehicle comply with
the local laws in force regarding the use
of seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen fig. 71. While pregnancy
increases, the driver must adjust both
seat and steering wheel to have full
control over the vehicle (pedals and
steering wheel should be easily
accessed). The maximum clearance
should be kept between the abdomen
and the steering wheel.
The seat belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally fig. 72.
The lower part must adhere to the
pelvis, not to the abdomen of the
occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt
away from your body.
