GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

4)Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers.
Before using the key near people who use
medical devices, ask the medical device
manufacturer or your physician if radio
waves from the key will affect the device.
5)Do not stop the engine while the vehicle
is moving. Stopping the engine while the
vehicle is moving for any reason other than
in an emergency is dangerous. Stopping
the engine while the vehicle is moving will
result in reduced braking ability due to the
loss of power braking, which could cause
an accident and serious injury.
6)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the parking brake.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.ADVANCED
KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
(where provided)

The advanced keyless function allows
you to lock/unlock the door and the
boot lid, fuel filler flap, or open the boot
lid while carrying the key.
IMPORTANT Radio waves from the key
may affect medical devices such as
pacemakers: before using the key near
people who use medical devices, ask
the medical device manufacturer or
your physician if radio waves from the
key will affect the device.
IMPORTANT The advanced keyless
entry system functions can be
deactivated to prevent any possible
adverse effect on a user wearing a
pacemaker or other medical device. If
the system is deactivated, you will be
unable to start the engine by carrying
the key. Contact a Fiat Dealership for
details. If the advanced keyless entry
system has been deactivated, you can
start the engine by following the
procedure indicated when the key
battery goes dead.
IMPORTANT
6)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery in
the electronic key and the presence of
metal objects near the key or the vehicle. In
these cases it is still possible to unlock the
doors by using the metal insert in the
electronic key (see description on the
following pages).

ODOMETER / TRIP METER
The display mode can be changed from
odometer to “Trip meter A” to “Trip
meter B” and then back to odometer by
pressing the selector 1 fig. 52 while one
of them is displayed. The selected
mode will be displayed.
When the ignition is switched to ACC or
OFF, the odometer or trip meters
cannot be displayed, however, pressing
the selector can inadvertently switch
the trip meters or reset them during an
approximate ten-minute period in the
following cases:
after the ignition is switched to off
from ON;
after the driver's door is opened.Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total
distance of two trips. One is recorded in
“Trip A”, and the other is recorded in
“Trip B”.
For instance, “Trip A” can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
“Trip B” can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is filled.
Use this meter to measure trip
distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
Versions with Radio 7”: if the fuel
economy data is reset using the fuel
economy monitor, or Trip A is reset
using the trip meter when the function
which synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and Trip A are reset
simultaneously.
NOTE Only the trip meters record
tenths of kilometers (miles).
Trip meter reset
The trip meter will be erased when the
power supply is interrupted (blown fuse
or the battery is disconnected) or when
the vehicle is driven over 9999.9 km
(mile).

WARNING
61)Never tamper with the air
bag/pretensioner systems and always
contact a Fiat Dealership perform all
servicing and repairs. Self-servicing or
tampering with the systems is dangerous.
An air bag/pretensioner could accidentally
activate or become disabled causing
serious injury or death.62)Do not drive the vehicle with the active
bonnet warning light turned on or flashing.
Driving the vehicle with the active hood
warning light turned on or flashing is
dangerous as the active hood mechanism
may not activate normally and function as
intended in the event the vehicle were to
contact a pedestrian.
63)If the TPMS warning light illuminates or
flashes, or the tire pressure warning beep
sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed
immediately and avoid sudden
maneuvering and braking. If the warning
light illuminates or flashes, or the tire
pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is
dangerous to drive the vehicle at high
speeds, or perform sudden maneuvering
or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen
and result in an accident. To determine if
you have a slow leak or a flat, pull over to a
safe position where you can check the
visual condition of the tire and determine if
you have enough air to proceed to a place
where air may be added and the system
monitored again by Fiat Dealership or a tire
repair station.
64)Do not ignore the TPMS warning light.
Ignoring the TPMS warning light is
dangerous, even if you know why it is
illuminated. Have the problem taken care of
as soon as possible before it develops into
a more serious situation that could lead to
tire failure and a dangerous accident.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

indicate when the system is not
operating properly.
IMPORTANT The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.
IMPORTANT To avoid false readings,
the system samples for a little while
before indicating a problem. As a result
it will not instantaneously register a
rapid tire deflation or blow out.
Because this system detects slight
changes in tire conditions, the timing ofthe warning may be faster or slower in
the following cases.
the size, manufacturer, or the type of
tires is different from the specification;
the size, manufacturer, or the type of
a tire is different from the others, or the
level of tire wear is excessively different
between them;
a run-flat tire (where provided),
studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains
are used;
an emergency tire is used (tire
pressure monitoring system warning
light may flash and then continue
illuminating);
a tire is repaired using the emergency
flat tire repair kit;
the tire pressure is excessively higher
than the specified pressure, or the tire
pressure is suddenly lowered for some
reason such as a tire burst during
driving;
the vehicle speed is lower than about
15 km/h (9 mph) (including when the
vehicle is stopped), or the drive period
is shorter than 5 minutes;
the vehicle is driven on an extremely
rough road or a slippery, icy road;
hard steering and rapid
acceleration/deceleration are repeated
such as during aggressive driving on a
winding road;
load on the vehicle is applied to a tire
such as by loading heavy luggage toone side of the vehicle;
system initialization has not been
implemented with the specified tire
pressure.
System error activation
When the TPMS warning light flashes,
there may be a system malfunction.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
A system error activation may occur in
the following cases:
when there is equipment or a device
near the vehicle using the same radio
frequency as that of the tire pressure
sensors;
when a metallic device such as a
non-genuine navigation system is
equipped near the center of the
dashboard, which may block radio
signals from the tire pressure sensor to
the receiver unit;
when using the following devices in
the vehicle that may cause radio
interference with the receiver unit;
a digital device such as a personal
computer;
a current converter device such as a
DC-AC converter;
when excess snow or ice adheres to
the vehicle, especially around the
wheels;
when the tire pressure sensor
batteries are exhausted;

IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
IMPORTANT Always use extreme
caution and verify the real conditions of
the area behind the vehicle with you
own eyes. Reversing while looking only
at the screen is dangerous and can
lead to an accident or collision with an
object. The rear-view monitor is simply
a system to aid reversing. The images
on the screen can show a situation that
differs from the real one.
When the display is cold, the images
could scroll on the monitor or the
screen and could be more blurred than
usual, making it difficult to check the
conditions of the area around the
vehicle. Always use extreme caution
and verify the real conditions of the area
behind the vehicle with you own eyes.
IMPORTANT Do not apply excessive
force to the camera. You could alter the
position and angle of the camera. Do
not disassemble, modify or remove it as
this could compromise the hermetic
seal.
IMPORTANT The camera cover is
made of plastic. Do not apply
degreasing agents, organic solvents,
wax, or glass coating agents to thecamera cover. If any are spilled on the
cover, wipe off with a soft cloth
immediately.
IMPORTANT Do not rub the camera
cover forcefully with an abrasive or hard
brush. The camera cover or lens may
be scratched which might affect the
images.
IMPORTANT If water, snow or mud is
deposited on the camera lens, clean it
with a soft cloth. If this does not clean
it, use a mild detergent.
IMPORTANT If the camera is subjected
to abrupt temperature changes (from
hot to cold or vice versa), the rear-view
monitor may not work properly.
IMPORTANT When replacing tires,
contact a Fiat Dealership. Replacing the
tires can cause the guide lines that
appear on the display to be diverted.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle has been
involved in a frontal, lateral or rear
collision, the rear parking camera’s
alignment (location or installation angle)
may have been altered. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the display shows "no
video signal", there may be a problem
with the camera. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
