AUTOMATIC MAIN BEAM
HEADLIGHTS
In order not to dazzle other road users,
the main beam headlights are
automatically turned off when
approaching oncoming vehicles or
when following a vehicle travelling in the
same direction.
The system is enabled through the
menu item and by rotating the light
selector to the
position.When the main beam headlights are
turned on for the first time by pulling the
stalk, the function is enabled and the
icon is displayed; if the main beam
headlights are actually on, the
corresponding blue warning light
is
displayed as well.
If the driving speed is over 40 km/h and
the function is activated, pulling the
stalk again to the main beam headlight
position deactivates the function.
If the driving speed is below 15 km/h
and the function is activated, the
function switches the main beam
headlights off. Pulling the stalk again to
the main beam headlight position is
interpreted as a request for the main
beam headlights to stay on, therefore
the blue warning light
on the
dashboard turns on and the main beam
headlights stay on until the speed
exceeds 40 km/h again. The function is
enabled again automatically when 40
km/h is exceeded
.
If the stalk is pulled again in this
condition, to request main beam
headlight deactivation, the function
remains off and the main beam
headlights switch off.
Rotate the ring to the
position fig.
51 to disable the automatic function.

manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
The heating warning light and the
display light are switched off. The fluid
circulation pump keeps working for
approximately two minutes: the heater
can be switched back on again during
this time.
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes
off when battery voltage is low to allow
the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level is
above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require
the assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components may
be damaged at higher temperatures.
Whilst the heater is operating with
the engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running for
a while to make sure that the battery is
properly recharged.
To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine coolant
system fluid" paragraph. The water in
the heating circuit must contain a
minimum percentage of 10% antifreeze.
For maintenance and repairs,
consult only a Fiat Dealership and use
only original parts.
MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter). This
will guarantee safe and economic
operation of the heater as well as a long
duration.

Topping for additive Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA)
When refuelling the additive for Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA) with
dispensing gun:
park the vehicle on ground level;
turn off the engine by turning the key
in the OFF position;
open the fuel flap A fig. 137 and
then unscrew and remove the cap C
fig. 137 from the UREA filler;
insert the dispensing gun for topping
up UREA in the filler neck;
immediately stop filling the tank
UREA if it shows one of the cases listed
below:
- if AdBlue is spilled out of the filler
neck, clean up well the area and
proceed to filling up again;
- if during filling the dispensing gun
clicks, it indicates that the UREA tank is
full. Do not proceed with the
replacement, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue (UREA).
When you have finished topping up,
refit the cap C fig. 137 on the UREA
filler by turning it clockwise until it is fully
tightened;
turn the key in the pawl starter in the
ON position (no need to start the
engine);
wait for the warning on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the vehicle, the warning light
may stay on for a few seconds to half a
minute. In case of motor start-up and
movement of the vehicle, the warning
light will remain on for a longer period of
time, but there are no problems on the
engine functionality. If topping up is
done with the UREA tank empty, you
have to wait two minutes before
starting the vehicle.
When refuelling the additive for
Diesel Emissions AdBlue (UREA)
with bottle:
park the vehicle on ground level;
turn off the engine by turning the key

NOTE The driving conditions (altitude,
vehicle speed, load, etc.) determine the
quantity of UREA used by the vehicle.
In order to use the additive for Diesel
Emissions (UREA) correctly, see "Fluids
and lubricants" in the "Technical data".
132)
IMPORTANT
Exceeding the maximum filling level
of the tank UREA, it can cause damage
to the tank and spilling UREA. Please
avoid topping up after filling the tank.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL. The UREA freezes at under -11
° C. Although the system is designed
to operate below the freezing point
of the UREA, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level
because if the UREA freezes the
system can be damaged.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the fluid
that has been spilled on the ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added to the
Diesel fuel tank, this can result in
serious engine damage, contact
Dealership.
Use AdBlue only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids
may cause damage to the system: also
exhaust emissions would no longer
comply with the law. The distribution
companies are responsible for the
compliance of their product. Observe
the precautions of storage and
servicing, in order to preserve the initial
qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognise any
guarantee in case of malfunctions and
damage caused to the vehicle due
to the use of urea (AdBlue) not in
accordance with regulations.
Any introduction of diesel fuel inside
the tank AdBlue, causes irreversible
damage to the pumping unit circuit
AdBlue.
Do not add additives to AdBlue. Do
not dilute AdBlue with tap water as
this may damage the system of
purification of exhaust gases.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting from
the use of additives / tap water, the
introduction of diesel fuel, or at least by
not fulfilling the requirements, the
warranty expires.
AdBlue tank topping (UREA) in cold
environments
Since AdBlue (UREA) starts to freeze
around the -11 °C, the vehicle is
equipped with an automatic system of
heating UREA that allows the system to
function properly at temperatures
below -11 °C.
If the vehicle remains idle for a long
period at temperatures below the -11
°C, the UREA in the tank might freeze.
If the tank UREA was filled beyond
the maximum level and freezes, it can
be damaged; for this reason it is
advisable not to exceed the maximum
level of the tank.
Pay extra attention to avoid exceeding
the maximum level when you use
portable containers for topping up.
