GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook 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 immediately what is
described here for yourself.KEYS....................13

WARNING
56)As the driver's exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image. Further, the
reflective surface of the lower part of the
exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase the
field of view. The reflected image size is
thus reduced and gives the impression that
the reflected item is further away than it
actually is.
57)Do not attempt to adjust the rear view
mirrors while driving. This can be
dangerous. Always adjust the mirrors
before driving.
58)Your vehicle is equipped with convex
type mirrors. Remind that objects that you
see in the mirror will look smaller and
farther away compared to a normal flat
mirror. Do not use this mirror to estimate
distance of following vehicles when
changing lanes.
59)Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror
folded in. The lack of rearward visibility
normally provided by the mirror could lead
to an accident.
IMPORTANT
20)It is possible to retract and extend the
mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror
using the mirror retractor switch, however,
you should extend it by using the switch
again, not by hand. If you extended the
mirror by hand after retracting it using the
switch, it would not properly lock in
position. As a result, it could move because
of the wind or vibration while you are
driving, taking away your rearward visibility.

NOTE Do not leave the lamps on for a
long time while the engine is stationary
(not running). A run-down battery could
result.
NOTE When it rains, or when the
vehicle has been washed, the inside of
the lens sometimes becomes foggy, but
this does not indicate a functional
problem. When the lamp is switched
on, the heat will remove the fog.
However, if water gathers inside the
lamp, we recommend you to have
checked.
Type 1
Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps.

61)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
highway code of the country in which you
are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
62)Always perform adjustments before
driving. Do not attempt to adjust while
driving, as it could cause an accident.INTERIOR LAMPS

2. Rear room lamp
If you leave the lamps on without running
the engine, you will run down the battery.
Before you leave the vehicle, make sure
that all the lamps are off.

86)Do not carry unnecessary objects on
the flatbed. Particularly if the vehicle is
driven in cities, where frequent stopping
and starting is necessary, supplementary
loads on the vehicle may have major
repercussions on fuel consumption.
Furthermore, do not travel with
unnecessary luggage, loads etc. on the
roof: the increased air resistance will
increase fuel consumption.
87)Using a lower gear when travelling with
heavy loads will improve vehicle
performance and extend the life of the
gearbox, limiting gear shifts and
overheating. This action ensures better
exhaust braking.
88)All precautions must be adopted to
prevent danger to other road users if the
load protrudes beyond the contour of the
vehicle. The rear and side protrusion must
be indicated according to the laws in force
in the country. The load must not
compromise stability of the vehicle or cover
lights, visual indicators or identifying plates.
Poles, bars and similar loads which are
difficult to see arranged horizontally must
not protrude beyond the contour of the
vehicle.TRAILER TOWING
In order to tow a trailer with your
vehicle, when having a trailer towing
device mounted that meets all relevant
regulations in your area, consult a Fiat
Dealership.
Check that your towbar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence
plate when the trailer or caravan is
disconnected. If it obscures the licence
plate, please remove the towbar
coupling ball. And if the towbar
coupling ball is lockable by using a key
or any kind of tools, please remove the
coupling ball and use a towbar coupling
ball which can be removed or
repositioned without the use of a key or
any kind of tools instead.
The regulations concerning the towing
of a trailer may differ from country to
country. You are advised to obey the
regulations in each area.
NOTE If you are going to tow a trailer,
pay careful attention to the following
points.
89)
Maximum towable weight with
brake and maximum trailernose
weight
Never exceed the maximum towable
weight with brake and the maximum
trailer-nose weight as listed in the
specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight”.
If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more
than 1,000 m above sea-level, reduce
your weight by 10 % of the gross
combination weight for every increase
of 1,000 m above sea-level, as the
engine output is lowered owing to
decrease in atmospheric pressure.

PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, restore:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
windscreen washer fluid level;
operation of lighting system
(headlamps, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
tyre alignment;
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always
efficient and well maintained, it is
advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly
(approximately every 1000 km and
every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).
DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
towing a trailer or caravan;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad
conditions and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
boot locks, cleanliness and lubrication
of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel system - brakes) and
rubber elements (boots - sleeves -
bushes - etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect condition of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter.
