KNOWING 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 what is described here for
yourself.THE KEYS.................14

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
AdBlue (Urea)
ADDITIVE TANK
Make sure that you comply with the
laws of the country you're in.
You need to remember that if the owner
of the vehicle does not comply with the
laws in effect, there could be legal
consequences.
Operating principle
Using additives reduces exhaust
emissions, transforming polluting gases
into water vapour and nitrogen.
Filling
Usable tank capacity: Approx. 20 litres
Open the left front door to access the
flap A. Unscrew the cap 1.
43)
9) 10) 11)
IMPORTANT In vehicles equipped with
the Start&Stop function, fill with AdBlue
(Urea) additive when the engine isstopped. Always stop the engine (refer
to the information about starting and
stopping the engine).
AdBlue (Urea) additive quality
Only use additives that comply with the
ISO 22241 standard and in compliance
with the label on the fuel tank flap.
Average fuel consumption
About 2 l/1000 km depending on the
vehicle version and driving style.
Operating precautions
Always refer to the information on the
AdBlue (Urea) additive package.
Handle additives carefully. They can
damage clothing, shoes, chassis
components, etc.
If the additive overflows or
contaminates any painted surface,
quickly clean the area with a damp
cloth.
In extremely cold climates
The vehicle is provided with a heating
system for AdBlue (Urea) additive to
drive in very cold weather conditions.
Precautions while refilling the tank
The AdBlue (Urea) additive freezes at
temperatures lower than approximately
-10 °C. Do not attempt to fill or top up
in this case. However, we advise you to
top up the AdBlue (Urea) additive or
have a qualified professional do it when
the warning lighton the instrument
panel turns on.
44)
WARNING
43)The tank cap is specific. If you need to
replace it, make sure it is the same as the
original. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
wash the filling area with a high pressure
cleaning machine.
44)The AdBlue (Urea) additive must not
come into contact with eyes or skin. If that
happens, rinse thoroughly with water. If
necessary, see a doctor.
IMPORTANT
9)No kind of intervention is authorised on
any part of the system. To avoid possible
damage, only Fiat Dealership qualified
personnel is authorised to intervene on the
system.
10)When the appropriate message
appears, fill the AdBlue (Urea) additive tank
(minimum 10 litres) and see the refilling
instructions. Danger that the vehicle will be
immobilised.
11)After filling the AdBlue (Urea) additive
tank, check that the cap and flap are
closed, start the engine and WAIT
10 seconds with the vehicle not moving
and engine started before starting off again.
If you do not do this, the tank filling will be
automatically detected only after a few
minutes' driving. The message to that
effect and/or warning lights will still appear
until the filling has not been detected by the
system.

REAR CAMERA
Operation
53)
15)
When in reverse, video camera 1
fig. 101 located on the tailgate or on the
rear swing door, depending on the
vehicle, lets you view the area behind
the vehicle on the inside rear view
mirror 2 fig. 102 or on the multi-media
display panel 3 fig. 103, along with one
or two shapes 4 fig. 104and 5
fig. 104(moving and stationary).
NOTE Check that the rear view video
camera is not covered up (dirt, mud,
snow, etc.).NOTE Depending on the versions,
adjust a few of the parameters on the
multi-media display panel 3 fig. 103.
Moving shape 4 (depending on the
vehicle): is represented in blue on the
multi-media display panel 3fig. 103.It
indicates the vehicle's trajectory
according to the steering wheel
position.Stationary shape 5: the stationary
shape consists of coloured references
A, B and C fig. 104that indicate the
distance behind the vehicle:
A (red) about 30 centimetres from the
vehicle;
B (yellow) about 70 centimetres from
the vehicle;
C (green) about 150 centimetres
from the vehicle.
This shape remains stationary and
indicates the vehicle's trajectory if the
wheels are aligned.
This system is initially used by making
use of one or more shapes (moving for
the trajectory, stationary for the
distance). When you get to the red
zone, use the bumper representation to
stop accurately.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Recalling the stored speed limit
If speed data is stored, you can recall it
by pressing button 4 (R) fig. 156.
When the cruise control function is in
stand-by, pressing switch 2 fig. 156 will
reactivate the regulator function without
taking into account the stored speed:
the speed the vehicle is travelling will be
used.
Interrupting the function
The cruise control function can be
deactivated; in this case, the speed is
no longer stored. The orange warning
light
on the instrument panel turns
off to confirm that the speed limiter has
been turned off.
WARNING
81)The Speed Limiter does not impact the
braking system in any case.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Temperature of the exhaust gases
The system controlling the exhaust lets
you identify the malfunctions of the
vehicle's anti-pollution device. These
faults can cause an excess in polluting
emissions and cause mechanical
damage.
This warning light on the instrument
panel indicates any system function
failure:
If it stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible;
If it flashes, you need to reduce the
engine running until the flashing stops.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information in the "AdBblue
(Urea) additive tank" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle" chapter.
The vehicle was designed with
environmental friendliness in mind for its
entire life cycle: from manufacture to
use up to the end of its life cycle.
Manufacture
The vehicle's manufacture has been
carried out at an industrial factory that
applies advanced procedures aimed at
environmental impact reduction with
respect to the inhabitants and nature in
the surrounding areas (reduction ofwater and power consumption,
atmospheric and water emissions,
disposal and evaluation of waste).
Emissions
While it is being used, the vehicle was
designed to emit a lower quantity of
greenhouse gasses (CO
2) and
therefore lower consumption (ex.:
170 g/km amounts to 6.4 l/100 km for
a Diesel vehicle).
Moreover, the cars are equipped with
anti-pollution systems such as the
catalytic exhaust, oxygen sensor, etc.
For some vehicles, this system is
rounded out with an anti-particulate
filter that allows a reduction in particle
emissions.
Used and replaced parts on sale during
regular servicing (battery, oil filter, air
filter, batteries, etc.) and oil tanks (both
empty and full of used oil) must be
delivered to specialised waste disposal
consortiums.
To hand the vehicle over at the end of
its life without extra cost, contact one of
our dealerships if you are purchasing
another vehicle or an FCA-authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These
centres have been carefully chosen to
offer high quality service for the
collection, treatment and recycling of
vehicles at their end of life, respecting
the surrounding environment.

Warning light What it means
ALARM WARNING LIGHT
When the starter device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine is started. If it turns on together with other warning lights/messages on the instrument panel, you need to
drive carefully to the Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Lack of respect for this rule puts the vehicle at risk of being damaged.
AdBlue (Urea) ADDITIVE LEVEL AND EXHAUST GAS REDUCTION SYSTEM OPERATION FAULTS
See the information in the "AdBlue (Urea) additive tank" paragraph.
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
For vehicles thus equipped, it turns on when you start the engine, this it goes off:
if it stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership;
if it flashes, you need to reduce the engine running until the flashing stops. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Refer to the “Protecting the environment” paragraph in the “Knowing your vehicle” chapter.
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)/ TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE
It goes on when the starter device is inserted and goes off after a few seconds.
This light turns on in various circumstances: refer to the "Active safety systems” paragraph in the “Safety” chapter.
ABS FAILURE
It goes on when the starter device is inserted and goes off after a few seconds. If it goes on while driving, it means
there is a malfunction in the ABS system. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but
without the advantage of the ABS system. Consult a Fiat Dealership.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
When the starter device is inserted, it goes on with a blue light.
If it turns red, you need to stop the car and let the motor idle for one or two minutes.
The temperature should go down and the light turns blue. Otherwise, stop the engine. Let it cool before checking
the coolant liquid temperature.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
