KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply
and directly explains how it is made
and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see what is described here for
yourself.SYMBOLS ...................................... 8

9)Before setting off after parking or before
moving the vehicle in any way, ensure
the footboard is fully stowed away.
Because the movement of the footboard is
controlled by that of the sliding side door,
incomplete stowing of the footboard or
non-closure of the rear doors is indicated
by the lighting of a warning light
on
the instrument panel.
10)This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were designed for
optimum comfort. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs and let the doors close
spontaneously.
11)With the doors opened to 180 degrees,
no locking system is effective. Do not use
this opening with the vehicle parked on
a gradient or when it is windy.
12)It is forbidden to drive the vehicle with
the footboard open.
13)Do not use the retracted footboard for
getting up or down the load compartment.
14)Make sure that the footboard is suitably
locked by the provided retaining systems
before, after and during its use. An
incomplete opening or closing might cause
an improper movement of the footboard
with risks arising for the operator and
external users.
15)The footboard lightly projects from the
vehicle even if retracted; therefore, when
rear parking sensors are provided, their
operating range is lightly reduced.
WARNING
2)The footboard presence may reduce the
ramp approach angles; it is therefore
recommended, in case of a very steep
ramp, to be very careful in order not to
damage the footboard.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

In both cases, the heating warning light,
the display lighting and the passenger
compartment heater fan go off and
burning stops.
The fluid circulation pump continues to
work for around two minutes to
dissipate as much heat as possible; the
heater can be turned back on during
this stage.
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes
off when battery voltage is low to allow
the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level is
above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require
the assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components may
be damaged at higher temperatures.
Whilst the heater is operating with
the engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running for
a while to make sure that the battery is
properly recharged.
To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine coolant
system fluid" paragraph. The water in
the heating circuit must contain a
minimum percentage of 10% antifreeze.
For maintenance and repairs,
consult only a Fiat Dealership and use
only original parts.
MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter). This
will guarantee safe and economic
operation of the heater as well as a long
duration.
ADDITIONAL REAR
HEATING (Panorama and
Combinato)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions
are equipped with a main heating
system plus an additional system
(available on request) with controls in
the roof panel trim above the second
row of seats fig. 64.For it to operate, it must be enabled
using the button F fig. 65 on the control
panel.
Turn the knob D to the maximum cold
position (knob at blue sector); air at
ambient temperature will come out of
the rear footwell vents (located under
the seats in the 2nd and 3rd row for
Panorama versions and the grille on the
left wheel arch side for Combi
versions);64F1A0062

Turn the knob D to the maximum
heating position (knob at red
sector);warm air will emerge (with the
engine warmed up), from the rear
footwell outlets (located under the seats
in the 2nd and 3rd row for Panorama
versions and the grille on the left wheel
arch side for Combi versions).
ADDITIONAL REAR
CLIMATE CONTROL
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions
are equipped with a main heating/air
conditioning system plus an additional
system (available on request) with
controls in the roof panel trim above the
second row of seats fig. 64. Button F
fig. 65 on the control panel must be
enabled for operation; the air
conditioning only works if the main air
conditioner is on.
When the knob D is placed in the
fully cold position (control in blue sector)
cold air comes out the vents in the
ceiling.
Turn the knob D to the maximum
heating position (knob at red
sector);warm air will emerge (with the
engine warmed up), from the rear
footwell outlets (located under the seats
in the 2nd and 3rd row for Panorama
versions and the grille on the left wheel
arch side for Combi versions).
If the selector knob D is placed in
the intermediate positions, the air
will be distributed between the vents in
the ceiling and the rear footwell vents,
varying the temperature.
IMPORTANT If the compressor on the
main air conditioner control is turned on
(operation of button E), even if the
additional air conditioner fan is in
position 0, the 1st speed will
automatically be activated to prevent
ice formation, with possible damage to
the component.
WARNING
34)The heater burns fuel in the same way
as the engine, though to a lesser extent. To
prevent poisoning and asphyxiation, the
supplementary heater must never be
turned on, not even for short periods, in
closed environments such as a garage or
workshops without extraction fans for
the exhaust gases.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
ELECTRIC
Switches fig. 66 on the inner armrest of
the driver's door control the following
with the ignition key in the MAR-ON
position:
A: left front window opening/closing;
B: right front window opening/closing.
Continuous automatic operation
All versions are equipped with
automatic raising and lowering of the
front, driver's side window.
Keep one of the buttons pressed for
longer than half a second to operate
the automatic continuous window
operation function. The window stops
when it reaches the end of travel
position, or when the button is pressed
again.

SEAT BELTS
IN BRIEF
All the seats in the vehicle are
equipped with seat belts with three
anchoring points and a retractor. The
reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking
or strong deceleration due to an
impact. This allows the belt strap to
slide freely and to adapt to the body
of the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the belt will lock to reduce
the risk of impact inside the
passenger compartment or of being
projected outside the vehicle. The
driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also
respect, the local laws in force in
relation to the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A
fig. 86 and insert it into buckle B, until
it clicks into place.On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind
for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
Press the button C fig. 86 to release the
belt. Guide the belt while it is rewinding
to prevent it from twisting.
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the
event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
80)
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To adjust, press button A fig. 87 and
raise or lower the handle B.
81) 82)Always adjust the seat belt height to the
passenger's body. This precaution
may considerably reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision.Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
Seat belt with retractor for front
central place on bench seat
The two-seater front bench is equipped
with an built-in seat belt (retractor on
seat) with three anchorage points
for the central position fig. 88.
