WARNING
11)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary.
12)Once you have released the
adjustment lever, always check that the
seat is locked on the guides by trying to
move it back and forth. If the seat is not
locked into place, it may unexpectedly slide
and cause the driver to lose control of the
car.
13)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.14)People who can't feel skin pain due to
advanced age, chronic diseases, diabetes,
spine damage, medication, alcohol,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must be careful when using the seat
heater. It could cause burns even at a low
temperature, especially when used for long
periods of time.
15)Do not place objects on the seat or on
the backrest that may isolate the heat,
such as a cover or a pillow. It may cause
the seat heating device to overheat. Sitting
on an overheated seat may cause severe
burns due to the increase in temperature of
the seat surface.
IMPORTANT
4)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.

Warning light What it means
SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side
seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning
light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger side seat
belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened. In this
case, fasten the seat belt.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display on some versions) switches on when the engine is
overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches
on (or the icon is displayed) again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down
and, if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the
coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated
for a few minutes before turning it off.
ALTERNATOR FAILURE
If this warning light or symbol switches on when the engine is running, this indicates a vehicle recharging
system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
DOOR OPEN
The warning light turns on when one or more doors (or, for some versions also the bonnet and the engine
bonnet) are not perfectly closed (for versions/markets, where provided). An acoustic signal is activated
with the doors open and the car moving. Close the doors properly.
AIRBAG FAILURE
If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.33) 34)

The system will therefore provide no
indication of a possible accident.
Activation/deactivation
If the Full Brake Control system has
been correctly activated from the Menu,
it will be active each time the engine is
started.
Following a deactivation, the system will
not warn the driver about the possible
collision with the preceding vehicle.
The system deactivation status will not
be stored when the engine is switched
off: if the system is deactivated when
the engine is switched off, it will be
active when it is next started.
This function is not active at a speed
lower than 7 km/h or higher than
200 km/h.
The system is only active if:
– it is correctly activated through the
Menu;
– the ignition device is at MAR;
– the vehicle speed is between
7 and 200 km/h;
– the front seat belts are fastened.Changing the system sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Menu, choosing
from one of the following three options:
"Near", "Average" or "Far". See the
description in theUconnect™ 5"
supplement for how to change the
settings.
The pre-set option is "Near". With this
setting, the system will warn the driver
of a possible collision with the vehicle in
front when it is close. This setting offers
the driver a lower reaction time
compared to the "Average" and "Far"
settings, in the event of a potential
collision, but permits more dynamic
driving of the vehicle.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a greater
distance, thus providing the possibility
of acting on the brakes more lightly and
gradually. This setting provides the
drivers with the maximum possible
reaction time to prevent a potential
accident.
Changing the setting to “Average”, the
system warns the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front when it
is at a standard distance, between that
of the other two settings.The system sensitivity setting is kept in
the memorywhen the engine is
switched off.
System failure signalling
If the system switches off and a
dedicated message is shown on the
display, it means that there is a fault on
the system.
In this case, it is still possible to drive
the vehicle, but you are advised to
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Radar indication not available
If conditions are such that the radar
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the
system is deactivated and a dedicated
message appears on the display. This
generally occurs in the event of poor
visibility, such as when it is snowing or
raining heavily.
The system can also be temporarily
dimmed due to obstructions such as
mud, dirt or ice on the bumper. In such
cases, a dedicated message will be
shown on the display and the system
will be deactivated. This message can
sometimes appear in conditions of high
reflectivity (e.g. tunnels with reflective
tiles or ice or snow). When the
conditions limiting the system functions
end, this will go back to normal and
complete operation.

30)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
31)Do not tamper nor operate on the radar
sensor. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
32)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™5” system.
33)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
34)Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may automatically
deactivate and display a warning to indicate
that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even
without a malfunction warning, deactivate
the system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front air bags, side air bags (if
present) and drop down air bags (if
present).
Read the information given the following
pages with the utmost care. It is of
fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle"
chapter.
SEAT BELTS
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates
locking the belt in the event of sharp
braking or strong deceleration due to
an impact. This allows the belt strap to
slide freely and to adapt to the body of
the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the belt will lock reducing the
risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.

SAFETY

USING THE SEAT BELTS
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue 1 fig. 71 and insert it into the
buckle 2, until it clicks into place.
On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
3 fig. 71 and guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
70) 71)
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal.Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulledsharply or in the
event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
Once seated, put on the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 72.
Seat belt of the rear central seat
Unlike other seat belts, this one has two
buckles and two metal tongues. In this
manner, release the seat belt to recline
a larger portion (2/3) of the backrest
(see the "Seats" chapter for more
information).
To fasten the seat belt follow the below
procedure:
Place yourself on the central seat
and normally pull out the seat belt from
top rewinder without twisting it;
In the left buckle (without the red
unlock button on the slot) insert the first
tongue which is located at the end of
the diagonal section of the seat belt;
In the right buckle insert the tongue
which is located at the end of the
abdominal section of the belt.
To unfasten the seat belt, unlock the
tongue of the abdominal section
pressing the red button.
IMPORTANT With the rear seat
backrest in vertical position, ensure that
the tongue which is located at the end
of the diagonal section of the central
seat belt is always properly hooked to
the left buckle (without the red unlock
button on the slot).
