WARNING
248)In the case of indistinct, overlapping
or missing lane demarcation lines, the
system may not assist the driver: in this
case the Driving Advisor will be inactive.
249)The Driving Advisor is not an
automatic driving system and does not
replace the driver in controlling the
trajectory of the car. The driver is personally
responsible for maintaining a sufficient level
of attention to the traffic and road
conditions and for controlling the trajectory
of the car safely.
250)If the camera loses its position due to
a load variation, the system may not work
temporarily to allow the camera to perform
an autocalibration.

and A in order of distance. The point A
and B actually are the same distances
from the vehicle, and the point C is
farther off than the point A and B.
WARNING
251)The responsibility for parking and
other manoeuvres is always and in any
case charged to the driver. While carrying
out these manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially children) or
animals are in the area concerned. The
camera is an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow his/her attention to
lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds. Always keep a slow speed, so as
to promptly brake in the case of obstacles.252)The rear view camera is an assistance
system that enables the driver to check for
obstacles behind the vehicle. Its range of
view is limited, so you should not overly
depend on it. Please drive just as carefully
as you would if the vehicle did not have the
rear view camera.
253)Be sure to visually confirm safety
around the vehicle with your own eyes. Do
not depend entirely on the rear view
camera.
IMPORTANT
158)It is vital, for correct operation, that
the camera is always kept clean and free
from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.
159)The rear view camera has a special
lens that can make objects shown on the
screen appear to be closer or further away
than they actually are.160)Due to the number of people in the
vehicle, the fuel quantity, the weight and
positioning of luggage, and/or the condition
of the road surface, the lines in the view
from the rear view camera may not be
accurately positioned relative to the actual
road. Use the reference lines only as a
guideline, and always do a safety check of
your behind and surroundings directly while
driving.

Have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership.
260)If the red lamp remains illuminated or
illuminates again after approximately
20 seconds has elapsed after setting the
ignition switch or the operation mode to
“ON”, there is a possible failure in the
system or the battery for exclusive use of
the ERA-GLONASS may be exhausted.
The battery life is approximately 3 years.
Have the system immediately inspected or
replace the battery by a Fiat Dealership.
261)When the system is not in the
standby state, the system does not
operate. When you drive, make sure to
check that the system is in the standby
state.
262)Before pressing the SOS switch, stop
the vehicle in a safe place. If you operate it
while driving, your attention to the
surrounding circumstances becomes
insufficient enough to cause an
unexpected accident.
263)If the red lamp illuminates as follows,
directly arrange an emergency vehicle or
road service with a cellular phone, etc. 1 -
When the red lamp remains illuminated
(there is a possible failure in the system). 2
- When the red lamp illuminates for
60 seconds (the vehicle may be in the
place where radio waves cannot be
transmitted and received).264)Do not replace the speakers. If they
are replaced, the buzzer sound or the voice
of the operator at the emergency call
centre may not be audible. If the speakers
need to be replaced due to a failure etc.

If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, the battery
from another vehicle can be used with
jumper cables to start the engine.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other
electrical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each
vehicle. Put an automatic transmission
in “P” (PARK) or a manual transmission
in “N” (Neutral). Stop the engine.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level. Refer to “Battery”.
5. Connect one end of one jumper
cable (1) to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery (A), and the
other end (2) to the positive (+) terminal
of the booster battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper
cable to the negative (−) terminal of the
booster battery (B), and the other end
to the engine block of the vehicle with
the discharged battery at the point
farthest from the battery.
NOTE Open the terminal cover before
connecting the jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery. Refer
to “Battery”.6. Start the engine in the vehicle which
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, then start the engine
in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
NOTE For vehicles equipped with the
Start&Stop system, press the
“Start&Stop OFF” switch to deactivate
the Start&Stop system and prevent the
engine from automatically stopping
before the battery is sufficiently
charged. Refer to “To deactivate”.
7. After the engine is started,
disconnect the cables in the reverse
order and keep the engine running for
several minutes.
NOTE If the vehicle is put in motion
without fully charging the battery, it
might cause the loss of the smooth
engine operation and the antilock brake
warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)”.
WARNING
267)To start the engine using jumper
cables from another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the
instruction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or
damage to the vehicles.
268)Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames
away from the battery because the battery
may produce an explosion.
269)Do not attempt to start the engine by
pulling or pushing the vehicle. It could
damage your vehicle.
270)Check the other vehicle. It must have
a 12-volt battery. If the other system isn’t
12-volt, shorting can damage both
vehicles.
271)Use the proper cables suitable for the
battery size to prevent overheating of the
cables.
272)Check the jumper cables for damage
and corrosion before use.
273)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
274)Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
275)Turn off the ignition on both vehicles
beforehand. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
276)If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or
appears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt
Jump Starting! A battery might rupture or
explode if the temperature is below the
freezing point or if it is not filled to the
proper level.

277)Electrolyte is corrosive diluted
sulphuric acid. If electrolyte (battery acid)
comes into contact with your hands, eyes,
clothes or the painted surface of your
vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed
with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush them with water immediately and
thoroughly, and get prompt medical
attention.
278)Make sure that the connection is
made to the appointed position (shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (−) side of the
battery, the inflammable gases generated
from the battery might catch fire and
explode.
279)When connecting the jumper cables,
do not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (−) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.
280)Use care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotating
part in the engine compartment.
281)Keep the engine of the vehicle giving
assistance running.
282)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
283)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.ENGINE
OVERHEATING
When the engine is overheating,will
blink. If this occurs, take the following
corrective measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from

anything wrong with the cooling system
or drive belt, we recommend you to
have it checked and repaired.
WARNING
284)Do not open the bonnet while steam
is coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
285)Be careful of hot steam, which could
be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
286)Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
287)Be careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan.
288)Make sure that the engine has cooled
down before removing the radiator cap (A),
because hot steam or boiling water
otherwise will gush from the filler port and
may scald you.
IMPORTANT
162)Do not add coolant while the engine is
hot. Suddenly adding cold coolant could
damage the engine. Wait for the engine to
cool down, then add coolant a little at a
time.
