mode in any mode other than OFF, the
operation mode ON reminder inner
buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to put the operation mode in OFF.WARNING
6)Do not remove the ignition key from the
ignition switch while driving. The steering
wheel will be locked, causing loss of
control.
7)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
8)Always remove the key when you leave
your vehicle to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked
uphill or reverse gear if the vehicle is
parked downhill. Never leave children
unattended in the vehicle.9)Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel will lock as
soon as it is turned. This also applies to
cases in which the vehicle is towed.
10)Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations be carried out
involving steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g. installation of
anti-theft device). This could negatively
affect performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty, cause serious safety
problems and also result in vehicle
non-compliance with type-approval
requirements.
IMPORTANT
1)If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to
function and braking efficiency will
deteriorate. Also, the power steering
system will not function and it will require
greater manual effort to operate the
steering.
2)Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not
running, doing so will cause the battery to
be discharged.
3)Do not turn the key to the “START”
position while the engine is running. Doing
so could damage the starter motor.
4)The indicator lamp (A) fig. 24 will flash
orange when there is a problem or
malfunction in the keyless operation
system. Never drive if the indicator lamp on
the engine switch is flashing orange.
Immediately contact your Fiat Dealership.

27)Before driving, make sure that the rear
gate is securely closed. If the rear gate
opens while driving the vehicle, objects
stored in the cargo area could fall out onto
the road.
28)Once the dead lock system is engaged
it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before
engaging the system check that there is no
one left inside. If the remote control battery
is flat, the system can be disengaged only
by inserting the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for
the rear doors.
29)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 close the doors
spontaneously.
30)On vehicles with the rear bumper,
never swing down the rear gate because
the rear gate could be damaged.
31)Never close the rear gate with the link
or wire left unhooked.SEATS

AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Hill Start Assist (where provided)
The hill start assist makes it easy to
start off on a steep uphill slope by
preventing the vehicle from moving
backwards. It keeps the braking force
for approximately seconds when you
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
77) 78)
218) 219)
To operate
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. On vehicles equipped with M/T,
place the gearshift lever into the 1st
position. On vehicles equipped with
A/T, place the selector lever into the “D”
position.
NOTE When reversing on an uphill
slope, place the selector lever or
gearshift lever into the “R” position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill
start assist will maintain the braking
force applied while stopping for
approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and
the hill start assist gradually will
decrease the braking force as the
vehicle starts moving.NOTE The hill start assist is activated
when all of the following conditions are
met.
The engine is running (the hill start
assist will not be activated while the
engine is starting or immediately after
the engine is started).
On vehicles equipped with M/T, the
gearshift lever is in the following
position: When starting an uphill slope
forwards > The gearshift lever is in any
position other than “R” (the hill start
assist will operate, even if the gearshift
lever is in the “N” position). When
starting an uphill slope backwards >
The gearshift lever is in the “R” position
(the hill start assist will not operate
when the gearshift lever is in the “N”
position).
On vehicles equipped with A/T, the
selector lever is in any position other
than “P” or “N”.
The vehicle is completely stationary,
with the brake pedal depressed.
The parking brake is released.
NOTE The hill start assist will not
operate if the accelerator pedal is
depressed before the brake pedal is
released.
NOTE The hill start assist also operates
when reversing on an uphill slope.NOTE When the hill start assist is
activated, you may feel the operating
sound. This is a normal result of the hill
start assist operation, and does not
indicate a problem.
Warning indicator
If an abnormal condition occurs in the
system, the indicator lamp
will turn
on.
79) 80)
Power Steering System
The power steering system operates
while the engine is running. It helps
reduce the effort needed to turn the
steering wheel.
The power steering system has
mechanical steering capability in case
the power assist is lost. If the power
assist is lost for some reason, you will
still be able to steer your vehicle, but
you will notice it takes much more effort
to steer. If this happens, have your
vehicle inspected at a Fiat Dealership.
81) 82)
Trailer Stability Assist — TSA
(where provided)
The trailer stability assist system helps
safely running while towing a trailer by
controlling the braking force of each
wheel and engine power in order to
stabilize the motion when detecting the
continuous sway of the vehicle caused
by a trailer.
141

When the trailer stability assist system
operates the brakes, the brake lamp
turns on. About the towing of the trailer,
refer to “Trailer towing”.
83) 84)
NOTE When TSA system operates, the
vehicle body may vibrate and the
operating sounds from the engine
compartment may be heard. These
motions indicate normal operation of
the system, not abnormal operation.
NOTE TSA system operates when the
vehicle speed is about 55 km/h or
higher.
NOTE When TSA system operates, the
ESC operation indicator lamp blinks on
and off.
NOTE When ESC does not work, TSA
system does not operate.
WARNING
218)When facing uphill, do not rely on
using the hill start assist to maintain a
stopped position as an alternative to
depressing the brake pedal. Doing so
could cause an accident.
219)Do not turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF while the hill start
assist is operating. The hill start assist
could stop operating, which could result in
an accident.
IMPORTANT
77)Do not overly rely on the hill start assist
to prevent backwards movement of the
vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even
when hill start assist is activated, the
vehicle may move backwards if the brake
pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the
vehicle is heavily loaded, if the road is very
steep or slippery or if the vehicle tows a
trailer, etc.
78)The hill start assist is not designed to
keep the vehicle stopped in place on uphill
slopes for more than 2 seconds.
79)If the warning is turn on, the hill start
assist will not operate. Start off carefully.
80)Park your vehicle in a safe place and
stop the engine. Restart the engine and
check whether the warning indicator went
out, in which case the hill start assist is
again working normally. If they warning
remains displayed or reappear frequently, it
is not necessary to stop the vehicle
immediately, but the vehicle should be
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
81)Do not stop the engine while the
vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine
would make the steering wheel extremely
hard to turn, possibly resulting in an
accident.
82)Do not leave the steering wheel turned
all the way in one direction. This can cause
damage to the power steering system.83)Do not over-rely on TSA system. Due to
the slippery road surface, heavy side wind,
inappropriate weight and positioning of
luggage, and/or driving at high speed, TSA
system may fail to secure the stability.
Always drive appropriately in accordance
with the condition of traffic, road surface
condition, weather, and the weight and
positioning of luggage.
84)The trailer stability assist system does
not operate in case as follows: 1 – When
sudden braking and braking while driving
downhill cause an abrupt motion of the
vehicle which makes the vehicle and the
trailer form a dogleg shape. 2 – When a
sideslip occurs by sudden steering.

SAFETY

Fuel injection amount learning
process
To keep exhaust emissions and engine
noise low, the engine very occasionally
performs a learning process for the fuel
injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different
from usual while the learning process is
taking place. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
If the keyless operation key is not
operating properly
Insert the keyless operation key into the
key slot. Starting the engine and
changing the operation mode should be
now possible.
Remove the keyless operation key from
the key slot after starting the engine or
changing the operation mode.
NOTE Do not insert into the key slot
anything other than the keyless
operation key. This could cause
damage or a malfunction.NOTE Remove the object or additional
key from the keyless operation key
before inserting the key into the key
slot. The vehicle may not be able to
receive the registered ID code from the
registered key. Therefore, the engine
may not start and the operation mode
may not change.
NOTE The keyless operation key is
fixed, if the key is inserted in the key
slot as illustrated. When pulling out the
key, pull out in the state.
Keyless operation key reminder*
(Where provided)
If the operation mode is in OFF and the
driver’s door is opened with the keyless
operation key in the key slot, the
warning lamp will blink and the outer
buzzer sounds for approximately
3 seconds and the inner buzzer sounds
for approximately 1 minute to remind
you to remove the key.
IMPORTANT
89)In some cases, when the engine
switches off, the fan could activate for max.
120 seconds.
90)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
91)Never start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
92)Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, so you need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
93)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
94)Release the ignition key as soon as the
engine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
95)Never attempt to start the engine by
pushing or pulling the vehicle.
96)Do not run the engine at high speeds or
drive the vehicle at high speeds until the
engine has had a chance to warm up.
97)If your vehicle is equipped with a
turbocharger, do not stop the engine
immediately after high-speed or uphill
driving. First allow the engine to idle to give
the turbocharger a chance to cool down.

STARTING AND DRIVING

98)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
99)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
WARNING
225)Never run the engine in a closed or
poorly ventilated area any longer than is
needed to move your vehicle in or out of
the area. Carbon monoxide gases are
odourless and can be fatal.
226)Do not operate the engine switch
while driving except in an emergency. If the
engine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function and
braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the
power steering system will not function and
it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering. This could result in a
serious accident.
TURBOCHARGER
OPERATION
(where provided)
Turbocharger
100) 101)
The turbocharger increases engine
power by pushing large amounts of air
into the engine’s cylinders. The finned
parts inside the turbocharger turn at
extremely high speeds and are
subjected to extremely high
temperatures. They are lubricated and
cooled by engine oil. If the engine oil is
not replaced at the specified intervals,
the bearings may seize or emit
abnormal noise.
1. Air compressor 2. Compressed air
3. Cylinder 4. Turbo fin 5. Turbine
6. Exhaust gas
IMPORTANT
100)Do not run the engine at high speeds
(for example, by revving it or by
accelerating rapidly) immediately after
starting it.
101)Do not stop the engine immediately
after high-speed or uphill driving. First allow
the engine to idle to give the turbocharger a
chance to cool down.
