KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

66)If the seat belt has been subjected to a
high level of stress, for example after an
accident, it must be completely replaced
together with the anchorages, anchorage
fixing screws and pretensioner. In fact,
even if the seat belt has no visible defects,
it could have lost its resilience.
WARNING
21)Operations which lead to knocks,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of 6 hours) in the area
around the pretensioners may cause
damage or trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by
irregularities of the road surface or low
obstacles such as kerbs, etc. Contact a
Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
CARRYING
CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50
metres and up to 12 years must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats. Statistics on accidents indicate
that the rear seats offer greater safety
for children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head
is larger and heavier in proportion to
their body and the child's muscular and
bone structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are
necessary to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the event
of an accident, braking or a sudden
manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. As far as the
characteristics of the child seats used
allow, you are advised to keep children
in rear facing child seats 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 range
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
type-approval data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint
systems for each weight group. These
devices are recommended, having
been specifically designed for Fiat cars.

STARTING THE
ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic
engine lock device: if the engine fails to
start, see the paragraph “The Fiat
CODE system” in section “Know your
vehicle”.
90) 91)
22) 23) 27) 28)
PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts.
PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
turn the ignition key to MAR
position: the
warning light will light
up on instrument panel;
wait for the warning lightsand
to turn off, which will happen faster
the warmer the engine is;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to the AVV
position as soon as the warning light
turns off. Waiting too long will waste
the heating work carried out by the
plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
With cold engine, the accelerator must
be entirely released when turning the
ignition key to position AVV.
24)
PROCEDURE FOR
NATURAL POWER
VERSIONS
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously
selected mode.
25)
PROCEDURE FOR
VERSIONS WITH
COMFORT-MATIC
TRANSMISSION
The system allows the engine to be
started both with a gear engaged and
with the transmission in neutral (N).
Always press the brake pedal with the
gear engaged.It is advisable to place the gear lever in
neutral (N) before starting the engine.
26)
IMPORTANT If the engine does not
start at the first attempt, return the
ignition key to STOP before repeating
the starting procedure. If the warning
light remains on together with warning
light
when the ignition key is at
MAR, turn the key to STOP and then
back to MAR; if the warning light stays
on, try with the other keys provided
with the vehicle. If you still cannot start
the engine, perform an emergency
start (see “Emergency starting” in the
“In an emergency” section) and go to a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT If start-up is requested
with the gearbox faulty, carry out the
"Delayed start-up" procedure (see
associated messages): turn the key to
the AVV position for at least 7 seconds
with the brake depressed and the
engine will start. The system will be in
recovery mode (maximum permitted
gear: 3
rd, Automatic mode not
available). If the engine does not start,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
90)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
91)Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not
operational until the engine is started,
therefore a greater effort will be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering
wheel.
WARNING
22)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessive intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
23)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
24)If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates a
problem in the glow plug pre­heating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.25)There must therefore always be
enough petrol in the tank to protect the
petrol pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from methane to petrol
operation, if high performance is required.
26)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by a buzzer.
27)Never, under any circumstances, jump
start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
28)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose, it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever fig. 102 is located
between the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement:
Pull lever upwards until the vehicle is
secured. The warning light
comes
on with the key at MAR.
Handbrake disengagement:
slightly raise lever A and hold button B
pressed, checking that the
warning
light switches off in the instrument
panel.

WARNING
115)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Carefully read
the label on the cartridge before use, avoid
improper use. The kit should be used by
adults and cannot be used by children.
116)IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
The kit provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tyre must be examined and
repaired by a specialist as soon as
possible. Before using the kit, ensure that
the tyre is not excessively damaged and
that the rim is in good condition, otherwise
do not use it and call roadside assistance.
Do not remove foreign bodies from the
tyre. Do not let the compressor turned on
for more than 20 consecutive minutes -
overheating hazard.
WARNING
37)The sealant fluid is effective with
external temperatures between -40°C and
+55°C. The sealant has an expiry date. It
is possible to repair tyres which have been
damaged on tread up to a diameter of 6
mm. Show the cartridge and the label
to the personnel who will handle the tyre
treated with the tyre repair kit
CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
117) 118) 119) 120) 121)
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
always check the headlight beam
direction after changing a bulb;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph
"Replacing fuses" in this chapter.
IMPORTANT A slight misting may
appear on the internal surface of the
headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature
and the degree of humidity in the air.
Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights
indicates infiltration of water. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
117)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
118)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
119)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metal part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.
120)Where possible, it is advisable to
have bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership.
The correct operation and direction of
the external lights are absolutely essential
for the safety of the car and of compliance
with the law.
121)Replace the bulbs with the engine
stopped and in a position in which it is not
danger for oncoming traffic and where
you perform the replacement safely (see
the “When parked” paragraph). Also ensure
that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk
of burns.

WARNING
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
Distribute the load evenly and pay attention to side winds when driving.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").
INSTRUMENT PANEL
If the needle for the engine coolant temperature reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
“COMFORT-MATIC" TRANSMISSION Messages on the display
If the warning light(together with the message in the display) continues to remain on in the panel, go to a Fiat Dealership.
If the message is still shown in the display, contact a Fiat Dealership.
To keep the clutch in good condition, do not use the accelerator to keep the car stationary (e.g. when stopped facing uphill); the clutch
could be damaged by overheating. Use the brake pedal instead and operate the accelerator only when you are ready to set off.
BODYWORK
Some automatic systems equipped with old generation blades and/or with a poor maintenance can damage the paint, promoting the
creation of microscoring which give an opaque/coated appearance to the paint, especially on dark colours. In this case, just lightly polish with
specific products.
WARNING
BODYWORK
Detergents pollute the environment. The vehicle should be washed in areas equipped for collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
