5)For safety reasons, always open/close
doors when the vehicle is stopped.
6)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, let alone leave it with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake or the brake pedal.
7)Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the
door carefully until it locks in place. Always
make sure the sliding door is completely
closed before the vehicle starts moving.
8)Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.
9)You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel flap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel flap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side door
to avoid damage.
10)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
12)Always use this device when carrying
children.13)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
14)When closing, shut the right hand
swing door fully before you close the left
hand swing door. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
15)In case of wind, do not leave the rear
swing doors open. Risk of injury.
16)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.HEADRESTS

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT The display will show a
reversed image. The shapes are a
projected representation on flat ground;
this information has to be ignored when
you superimpose it on a vertical object
or one resting on the ground. The items
that appear on the edge of the screen
can be distorted. If the light is too bright
(snow, vehicle is in sunshine) the video
camera's vision can be disrupted.
When the rear doors are open or not
closed properly, the dedicated message
appears and, depending on the vehicle,
the video camera image disappears.
WARNING
53)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. 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.
IMPORTANT
15)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any 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. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.

cooling fan could start up at any time. Risk
of injury.
60)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper is in the stopped
position. Risk of injury.
61)In case of a collision, even a light one
like against the cowling or bonnet, have it
checked at a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.62)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the parking brake is engaged.
63)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
16)After every intervention in the engine
compartment, make sure you have not left
anything (rags, tools, etc.); basically these
could damage the engine or start a fire.109T36581

If you have stored a speed, you can
recall it, after making sure the driving
conditions allow it (traffic, roadbed
conditions, weather, etc.). Press button
4 fig. 150 if the vehicle speed is over
30 km/h. When recalling a stored
speed, the activation is confirmed when
the warning light goes on

WARNING
74)The Cruise Control does not impact the
braking system in any case.
75)It provides a supplementary driving aid.
However, it does not replace the driver. It
cannot take the place of local speed limit
observations, attentiveness (always be
ready to brake) or driver responsibility. The
Cruise Control must not be used when
traffic is heavy, on winding or slippery
roads (ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or when
weather conditions are unfavourable (fog,
rain, wind gusts, etc.). Risk of accident.76)Be careful: we advise you to keep your
feet near the pedals so they are ready to
intervene in an emergency.
77)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
78)Putting the engine in stand-by or
deactivating the Cruise Control does not
rapidly lower the speed: you need to brake
using the brake pedal.
79)In case of a malfunction or failure of the
device, contact a Fiat Dealership.
80)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or
slippery roads.
SPEED LIMITER
The cruise control is a function that
keeps you from going over a certain
pre-set speed limit.
