WARNING
117)Press the clutch pedal fully to shift
gears 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.
WARNING
23)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.
The clutch pedal should be used only
for gear changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal, however
lightly. For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch control
could cut in, interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.
COMFORT-MATIC
GEARBOX
(For versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled manual
gearbox known as COMFORT-MATIC
that has two operating modes:
MANUALandAUTO.
The gearbox consists of a traditional
manual transmission with a leverA,to
which an electronically controlled
electro-hydraulic device has been
added to automatically control the
clutch and gear the engagement.
CONTROL LEVER
The control leverAfig. 108 on the
central tunnel is of the multi-stable
floating type, in other words it has three
stable and three unstable positions.
The three stable positions correspond
to neutralN, reverseRand the central
position between the unstable(–)
and(+)positions.
The unstable positions, in other words
those that are left as soon as the lever
is released, are the positions for
requesting a higher gear(+), requesting
a lower gear(–)and requesting
automatic operating mode(A/M).
You can return to manual mode by
moving the lever back to the(A/M)
position.

START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary and all the
conditions for automatic switch-off
have been met, and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
Versions with mechanical gearbox
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
Restarting the engine
Versions with mechanical gearbox
Depress the clutch pedal to restart
the engine.MANUAL ACTIVATION

can be deactivated for continuous climate
control system operation.
WARNING
118)The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed
or turned to the STOP position. When
refuelling, make sure that the car is
switched off with the key in the STOP
position.
119)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. The
replacement battery should be of the same
type (L6 105Ah/850A) and should have
the same characteristics.
CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic driving aid that
allows you to drive at a speed of
above 30 km/h on long and straight
dry roads with few driving changes
(e.g. motorways) at a preset speed
without having to press the
accelerator pedal. It is therefore not
recommended to use this device
on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do
not use the device in town.
Turning the device on
Turn the ring A fig. 110 - fig. 111 to the
ON position or
(depending on the
version).
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in 1st or reverse gear. It is advisable
to engage it in 4th or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the vehicle speed may
slightly exceed the stored one.

146)The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
specific for your vehicle. Therefore, it must
not be used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models on your
vehicle. The wheel bolts are specific for
your vehicle: do not use them on different
models and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.
147)Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
148)Use the jack only to replace wheels
on the vehicle with which it is supplied
or on other vehicles of the same model.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other vehicle models. Never
use the jack to carry out repairs under
the vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than the
one shown on its label.
149)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.
150)No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with the spare
wheel lifting device; it should be operated
by hand only.
151)On versions equipped with self-
levelling air suspension, never introduce the
head or hands in the wheel arch: the
vehicle could raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or temperature
changes.152)The device should only be operated
by hand, without using any type of tool
other than the crank provided like
pneumatic or electrical screwers.
153)The moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause injuries:
avoid touching them. If you come into
contact with lubricating grease, clean
yourself thoroughly.
154)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, after
checking that the wheel is positioned
correctly under the platform (yellow notch
inside the window on the device), extract
the operating wrench. Take care not to turn
the wrench in the wrong direction (as in
fig. 166) to facilitate extracting it, to prevent
the attachment device from being
released and to ensure that the wheel
assembly remains safely fastened.
155)Each time the spare wheel is moved,
check that it is correctly positioned in its
housing under the platform. If it is not
correctly positioned, this could adversely
affect safety.
156)The spare wheel lifting device is
equipped with a clutch safety system for its
own protection; this could activated if an
excessive load is applied on the
maneuvering screw.FIX & GO

compartment when the engine is hot:
you may get burned. Remember that the
fan may start up if the engine is hot: this
could injure you. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
183)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.184)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
185)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility.
186)Some commercial windscreen washer
additives are flammable. The engine
compartment contains hot parts which
could start a fire if they come into contact.
187)Do not release the cap from the
extension without previously extracting the
system using the ring.
188)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
189)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
190)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to have the oil
changed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of respecting the
environment and according to legal
requirements.
WARNING
49)When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the vehicle.
50)Used engine oil and replaced oil filters
contain substances which are harmful to
the environment. To change oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
51)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze fluid is used
in the cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type as that contained in the cooling
