fingers are trapped in the window.
76)The safety mechanism is deactivated
while the switch is pulled up. Therefore be
especially careful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
The exhaust gas scavenging devices
used with catalytic converter are
extremely efficient for the reduction of
noxious gases. The catalytic converter
is installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine
properly tuned to ensure proper catalyst
operation and prevent possible catalyst
damage.
77)
NOTE Use fuel of the type
recommended in “Fuel selection”.
WARNING
77)As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass or
leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust since a fire could occur.
DIESEL
PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(where provided)
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a
device that captures most of the
particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust
emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF
automatically burns away trapped PM
during vehicle operation. Under certain
driving conditions, however, the DPF is
not able to burn away all of the trapped
PM and, as a result, an excessive
amount of PM accumulates inside it.
78)
27)
NOTE To minimize the likelihood of
excessive accumulation of PM, try to
avoid driving for long periods at low
speeds and repeatedly driving short
distances and try to keep high engine
speed driving as much as possible.
NOTE The engine sounds slightly
different from usual while the DPF
automatically burns away trapped PM.
The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF
system.

82)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
IMPORTANT
30)Note that the support bar may
disengage the bonnet if the open bonnet is
lifted by a strong wind.
31)After inserting the support bar into the

83) 84)
Cargo loads precautions
When loading luggage, be careful to the
following.
Stow cargo and luggage in the cargo
area whenever possible.
Distribute cargo or luggage evenly
not to be unbalanced in weight of a
load.
Do not place cargo or luggage on
the instrument panel. Also, do not stack
up cargo or luggage on the front
passenger’s seat or the rear seat.
Having the driver’s vision blocked, and
your cargo being thrown inside the
cabin if you suddenly have to brake can
cause a serious accident or injury.
HIGH-LOAD SYSTEM,
PROTRUDING LOADS
Check that the load is distributed evenly
on the flatbed and that the rear side
panel is correctly closed, so that the
load, or part of it, cannot fall onto the
road surface.
Some simple suggestions can improve
driving safety, comfort and vehicle
duration:
distribute the load evenly over the
platform: if it must be concentrated it in
a single area, choose an area mid-way
between both axles;
remember that the dynamic
behaviour of the vehicle is affected by
the transported weight: in particular, the
stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
Bumpy roads and heavy braking may
cause unexpected load shifting with
consequently hazardous situations:
before setting off, secure the load tightly
using the partition and appropriate
hooks, steel cables, ropes or chains
strong enough to hold the items to be
secured.
83) 84) 85) 86) 87) 88)
WARNING
83)If the vehicle is parked on a very steep
slope or side gradient, opening the rear
flap of the flatbed or a side door may
cause any objects or luggage which is not
fixed to spill out.
84)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a can that is type-approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. Anyway, by doing so, you
increase the risk of fire in the event of an
accident with your vehicle.
85)Respect the maximum permitted
vehicle loads also shown on the
registration certificate. The user is
responsible for arranging goods in the
luggage compartment and/or on the load
platform within the maximum permitted
loads.

Odometer
The odometer indicates the distance
travelled
Tripmeter
The tripmeter indicates the distance
travelled between two points.
Example usage of tripmeter A and
tripmeter B.
It is possible to measure two currently
travelled distances, from home using
tripmeter A and from a particular point
on the way using tripmeter B.
To reset tripmeter
To return the display to 0, hold down
the multi information display switch for
about 2 seconds or more. Only the
currently displayed value will be reset.
Example
If tripmeter A is displayed, only
tripmeter A will be reset.
NOTE When disconnecting the battery
terminal, the memory of tripmeter A and
B are cleared, and the display returns to
“0”.
Meter illumination control
Each time you press and hold the multi
information display switch (2) for about
2 seconds or more, there is a sound
and the brightness of the instruments
changes.NOTE You can adjust to 8 different
levels respectively for when the position
lamps are illuminated and when they
are not. Each time you reduce two
brightness levels, the segment display
of the brightness level decreases one
by one.
NOTE If the vehicle is equipped with
the automatic lamp control, when the
lamp switch is in a position other than
the “OFF” position, the meter
illumination switches automatically to
the adjusted brightness, depending on
the brightness outside the vehicle.
NOTE The brightness level of the
instruments is stored when the ignition
switch is turned off or the operation
mode is put in OFF.
Driving range display
This displays the approximate driving
range (how many more kilometres or
miles you can drive). When the drivingrange falls below approximately 50 km
(30 miles), “---” is displayed.
NOTE The driving range is determined
based on the fuel consumption data.
This may vary depending on the driving
conditions and habits. Treat the
distance displayed as just a rough
guideline.
NOTE When you refuel, the driving
range display is updated. However, if
you only add a small amount of fuel, the
correct value will not be displayed. Fill
with a full tank whenever possible.
NOTE On rare occasions, the value
displayed for the driving range may
change if you are parked on an
extremely steep incline. This is due to
the movement of fuel in the tank and
does not indicate any malfunction.
NOTE The display setting can be
changed to the preferred units (km or
miles). Refer to “Changing the function
settings”.
Average fuel consumption display
This displays the average fuel
consumption from the last reset to the
present time. The reset mode
conditions for the average fuel
consumption display can be switched
between “Auto reset” and “Manual
reset”.

Warning lamps
Warning lamps What it means
Brake warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON, and goes off after a few seconds. Always make sure that the lamp goes off before driving.
With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON, the brake warning lamp illuminates under the
following conditions:
When the parking brake has been applied.
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir falls to a low level.
When the brake force distribution function is not operating correctly.
With the ignition switch or the operation mode in ON, a buzzer sounds if the vehicle speed exceeds
8 km/h with the parking brake applied.
115) 116)
Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic system which monitors the emissions, engine control
system or A/T control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this lamp illuminates or flashes. Although your vehicle
will usually be drivable and not need towing, we recommend you to have the system checked as soon
as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate when the ignition switch is turned “ON” or the operation mode is put in ON,
and goes off after the engine has started. If it does not go off after the engine has started, we
recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
The engine electronic control module accommodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault
data (especially about the exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is disconnected which will make a rapid diagnosis difficult. Do
not disconnect a battery cable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.

52)If the lamp illuminates while the engine
is running, avoid driving at high speeds and
have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible. Accelerator
pedal and brake pedal response may be
negatively influenced under these
conditions.
53)If it illuminates while the engine is
running, there is a problem in the charging
system. Immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and we recommend you to have
it checked.
54)If this lamp illuminates when the engine
oil level is not low, have it inspected.
55)This warning lamp does not indicate
the amount of oil in the crankcase. This
must be determined by checking the oil
level on the dipstick, while the engine is
switched off.
56)If you continue driving with low engine
oil level or with this warning lamp
illuminated, engine seizure may occur.
57)Before moving your vehicle, check that
the warning lamp is OFF.
58)If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS
airbags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners,
and they may not function properly in a
collision or may suddenly activate without a
collision: 1 – Even when the ignition switch
or the operation mode is in ON, the SRS
warning lamp does not come on or it
remains on. 2 – The SRS warning lamp
comes on while driving.
59)The SRS airbags and seat belt
pre-tensioners are designed to help reduce
the risk of serious injury or death in certain
collisions. If either of the above conditions
occurs, immediately have your vehicle
checked by a Fiat Dealership.60)Any of the following indicates that the
ABS is not functioning and only the
standard brake system is working. (The
standard brake system is functioning
normally.) If this happens, take your vehicle
to a Fiat Dealership.
61)When the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON, the warning lamp does not
come on or it remains on and does not go
off . The warning lamp comes on while
