ABS SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the braking system, which
prevents one or more wheels from locking or
slipping regardless of the road surface conditions and
braking intensity, giving the best control during
emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system, allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is
needed: during this period it is better to avoid sharp,
repeated and prolonged braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into
action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: it means that the vehicle
speed should be altered to suit the type of road
surface.
MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST (emergency
braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system, which cannot be deactivated, recognises
emergency braking conditions (according to the
brake pedal operation speed) and provides an
additional hydraulic braking pressure to support thatprovided by the driver. This allows faster and more
powerful operation of the braking system.
IMPORTANT When the Mechanical Brake Assist is
activated, noises may be heard from the system. This
is normal. In any case, while braking keep the brake
pedal firmly depressed.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot , but keep the pedal pushed down; in
doing so you, will stop in the shortest distance
possible under the road conditions at the time.
WARNING
If the ABS cuts in, it is a sign that the
grip between tyre and the road surface
has reached the limit : you must slow down to
match the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it ;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
in the
instrument panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the multifunction display on
some versions) (see “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the braking system will work as normal,
but without the extra capacity offered by the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
andin
the instrument panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the multifunction display
on some versions) (see “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
WARNING
If only warning lightlights up in the
instrument panel (with a message in the
multifunction display on some versions), stop
the vehicle immediately and contact the nearest
Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaking from the
hydraulic system will compromise the operation
of the braking system, whether it is of the
conventional type or with ABS.

TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful for setting off in
poor grip conditions (snow, ice, mud, etc.) which
allows the drive force to be distributed in the best
way over the front axle when one wheel is slipping.
In effect, Traction Plus acts by braking the wheels
with poor grip (or those slipping more than the
others), thereby transferring the drive force to those
which have more grip on the ground.
This function can be activated manually by pressing
button T+ on the side control panel fig. 102 and
operates under 50 km/h. When this speed is
exceeded, it is automatically deactivated (the LED on
the button is still on) and it is reactivated again
when the speed falls below 50 km/h.Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when starting up. To
activate the "Traction Plus" system, press the button
(T+ fig. 102): the LED on the button switches on.
The activation of the Traction Plus system involves
the following functions being switched on:
inhibition of the ASR function, in order to fully
exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on the front axle,
through the braking system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the "Traction Plus" system is faulty, the "general
failure" instrument panel warning light
comes on
steady.

SPEED BLOCK
(for 1.3 MultiJet versions with manual gearbox)
The vehicle is equipped with a function that limits
the speed that can be set, when requested by the
user, to one of 4 preset values: 90, 100, 110 or 130
km/h.
This function must be activated/deactivated through
a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker fig. 103 will be
applied to the windscreen showing the top speed
setting.
WARNING The speedometer could indicate a higher
maximum speed than the effective one, set by the
Dealership, in accordance with the regulations in
force.
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These are located in the rear bumper fig. 104 and
their function is to inform the driver, through an
intermittent beeping noise, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when reverse
gear is selected.
The buzzer becomes more frequent as the obstacle
behind the vehicle gets closer to the bumper.
WARNING BUZZER
When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent
acoustic signal is automatically activated.

summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the usage
temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown on the
container with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the fuel.
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.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
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.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the
first click of the trigger. Further top-ups could cause
faults in the fuel feeding system.FUEL FILLER CAP
Opening
1) Open the flap A fig. 112 by pulling it outwards,
keep the cap B fig. 112 still, insert the ignition key in
the lock and turn it anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it.
The cap has a device C fig. 112 that attaches it to the
flap so it cannot be lost. When refilling, attach the
cap to the flap, as illustrated.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it
clockwise until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close
the flap.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in
pressure in the tank. A suction noise when you
release the cap is therefore entirely normal.

Do not place 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.
You must not open the right sliding side
door with the fuel cap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel cap is
closed while opening/closing the sliding side door.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This system is triggered after a collision as follows by:
the interruption of the fuel supply with the engine
consequently cutting out;
automatically unlocking the doors
turning on the lights inside the vehicle.
When the system has been triggered, the message
“Fuel cut off, see handbook” is displayed on some
versions.
Check carefully for fuel leaks, for instance in the
engine compartment, under the vehicle or near the
tank area.
After a crash, turn the ignition key to STOP to avoid
draining the battery.
The following procedure should be carried out to
restore the correct operation of the vehicle:
turn the ignition key to the ON position;
turn on the right direction indicator;
turn off the right direction indicator;

SAFETY
OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety equipment of the
vehicle comprise the following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
front, side airbag (for versions/markets, where
provided).
Read the information given the following pages with
the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that the protection
systems are used in the correct way to guarantee the
maximum possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint adjustment
see the "Head restraints" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle" chapter.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat belts with
three anchor points and a retractor.
The retractor 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
reducing the risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and 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.
The seat belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 113
and insert it into the buckle B, until it clicks into
place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let it rewind for
a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.
