LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct aiming of the headlights is
important for the comfort and safety of
not only the driver but all other road
users. This is also covered by a specific
rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly
aligned to guarantee the best visibility
conditions for all drivers while travelling
with headlights on.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights checked and adjusted.
Check light beam alignment every time
the load or its distribution changes.
FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT(where provided)

headlights checked and adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
Dipped beam headlights are adjusted
for driving in the country where the
vehicle was originally purchased.
When travelling in countries with
opposite driving direction, to avoid
dazzling the drivers on the other side of
the road, you need to cover areas of
the headlight according to the Highwaycode of the country you are travelling in:
(front right headlight), (front left
headlight).

INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel
supply systems: one for petrol and one
for LPG.
WHAT IS LPG?
LPG (the abbreviation of “Liquefied
Petroleum Gas”) is a mixture of gas
used as an economical and safe
primary energy source.
Its main components are propane and
butane mixed in various proportions.
These gases are a product of oil refining
and are also naturally present in oil
fields and methane-producing deposits.
In its natural state this mixture takes the
form of a gas, but as the pressure
increases, at room temperature, it can
easily be turned into liquid.
LPG is a fuel with a low environmental
impact because it reduces the pollution
produced by vehicle exhaust gases.

52)The capability of the TC must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
53)The PBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
54)The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
55)The capability of the PBA system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise the safety of the driver, the
other occupants of the vehicle or any other
road user.
56)The Hill Hold Control system is not a
parking brake; therefore, never leave the
vehicle without having engaged the parking
brake, turned the engine off and engaged
first gear, so that it is parked in safe
conditions (for further information read the
"Parking" paragraph in the "Starting and
driving" chapter).
57)There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle
laden, in which the Hill Hold Control system
may not activate, causing a slight reversing
motion and increasing the risk of collision
with another vehicle or object. The driver is,
in any case, responsible for safe driving.
58)The performance of a vehicle with ERM
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.59)When towing trailers, the utmost
caution at the wheel is recommended.
Never exceed the maximum permitted
loads (see the description in the "Weights"
paragraph in the "Technical Specifications"
chapter).
60)The TSC system cannot prevent
swerving for all trailers. If the system
activates during driving, reduce the speed,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and arrange
the load correctly to prevent the trailer from
swerving.DRIVING

The Full Brake Control system is a
SUPPLEMENTARY AID to help the
driver avoid hitting the vehicles in front.
It does not replace the driver, who must
maintain the safety distance and adjust
the vehicle’s speed according to the
traffic, visibility and weather conditions,
even when the system is active.
DO NOT wait for a collision warning to
reduce speed. If the driver fails to use
the brake pedal, it could cause a
collision.
The Full Brake Control system does not
detect pedestrians, animals or other
obstacles that cross the direction of
travel, nor vehicles traveling in the
opposite direction.
The Fill Brake Control system consists
of a radar located behind the front
bumper fig. 87.

SAFETY
comfortably. Depending on the
characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep
children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as possible
(at least until 3-4 years old), since this is
the most protected position in the event
of an impact.
It is recommended to always choose
the restraint system most suitable for
the child; for this reason always refer to
the Owner Handbook provided with the
child restraint system, to be sure that it
is of the right type for the children it is
intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight groups
Group 0up to 10 kg in
weight
Group 0+up to 13 kg in
weight
Group 1 9 - 18 kg
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.
FITTING A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTS
The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
83) 84) 85) 86)
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.
Group 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
with a rear facing child restraint system
of a type as shown in fig. 101 which,
supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations.The child restraint system is secured by
the vehicle seat belts, as shown in and
it must restrain the child in turn with its
own belts.
Group 1
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be transported in forward facing child
restraint systems fig. 102.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON UNIVERSAL CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM USE
According to the European Directive 2000/3/EC the suitability of each passenger seat position for the fixing of universal child
restraint systems is shown in the following table:

(*)IMPORTANT: NEVER fit a rearward-facing child seat in the front passenger seat if the airbag is active. If you wish to fit a rearward-facing child
seat in the front passenger seat, first deactivate the relative airbag (see instructions in the paragraph (Supplementary protection system (SRS)
– Airbag”)
X = Seat not suitable for children in this weight category.
U = suitable for child restraint systems of the “Universal” category, according to European Standard EEC-R44 for the specified
“Groups”.

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX
CHILD CARSEAT
87) 88) 89)
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX anchors, for
fitting child restraint systems quickly,
simply and safely. The ISOFIX system
lets you install the ISOFIX child
restraining system without using the car
seat belts but connecting them directly
to the carseat with three anchors in the
car.
Traditional child restraint systems can
be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchors 1 fig. 105 located behind the
cushion of the rear seat, in the point
where it meets the backrest, then fix the
upper hook of the child restraint system
to the dedicated anchor 2
fig. 106 located behind the seat
backrest.
As an example, fig. 108 shows an
example of a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system for weight group 1.
The other weight groups are covered by
specific ISOFIX child restraint systems,
which can be used only if specificallytested for this vehicle (see list of
vehicles provided with the child restraint
system).IMPORTANT The fig. 108 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.
