also operate once automatically at the
same time.
Disable automatic rear window
demister — The rear window demister
does not operate automatically. The
heated mirrors will not operateautomatically as well.
Setting change method — Hold
down the rear window demister switch
for about 10 seconds or more. When
the setting is changed from enable to
disable 3 sounds are emitted and the
indicator lamp flashes 3 times. When
the setting is changed from disable to
enable 2 sounds are emitted and the
indicator lamp flashes 3 times.
NOTE The factory setting is “Disable
automatic rear window demister”.
WARNING
67)For safety, make sure you have a clear
view through all windows.
68)Use of the recirculation position for an
extended time may cause the windows to
fog up.
IMPORTANT
22)The engine speed may increase when
the air conditioning is operating. With an
increased engine speed, an A/T vehicle will
creep to a greater degree than with a lower
engine speed. Fully depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.23)When using the air conditioning, the
idling speed may slightly increase as the air
conditioning compressor is switched on/off
automatically. While the vehicle with an
automatic transmission is stationary, fully
depress the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from creeping.
24)When using the mode selection dial
between the
andpositions, prevent
fogging by moving the air selection lever to
select outside air (refer to “Air selection
lever”).
25)Use of the
(recirculation) position
for extended time may cause the windows
to fog up.
26)If the outside air is dusty or otherwise
contaminated, or if high cooling
performance is desired, set air selection
lever to the
(recirculation) position
and the temperature control dial all the way
to the right. Switch to the
(outside)
position periodically to increase ventilation
so that the windows do not become
fogged up.
IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
(indicated on a specific plate in the engine
compartment). The use of other coolants
affects the efficiency and condition of the
system. Also the compressor coolants
used must be compatible with the
indicated coolant.

while the switch is pulled up. Therefore be
especially careful that fingers are not
trapped in the door window opening.CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
The exhaust gas scavenging devices
used with catalytic converter are
extremely efficient for the reduction of
noxious gases. The catalytic converter
is installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine
properly tuned to ensure proper catalyst
operation and prevent possible catalyst
damage.
77)
NOTE Use fuel of the type
recommended in “Fuel selection”.
WARNING
77)As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass or
leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust since a fire could occur.
DIESEL
PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(where provided)
The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a
device that captures most of the
particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust
emissions of the diesel engine. The DPF
automatically burns away trapped PM
during vehicle operation. Under certain
driving conditions, however, the DPF is
not able to burn away all of the trapped
PM and, as a result, an excessive
amount of PM accumulates inside it.
78)
27)
NOTE To minimize the likelihood of
excessive accumulation of PM, try to
avoid driving for long periods at low
speeds and repeatedly driving short
distances and try to keep high engine
speed driving as much as possible.
NOTE The engine sounds slightly
different from usual while the DPF
automatically burns away trapped PM.
The change in the engine sound does
not indicate a fault.
DPF warning lamp
The DPF warning lamp comes on in the
event of an abnormality in the DPF
system.

WARNING
83)If the vehicle is parked on a very steep
slope or side gradient, opening the rear
flap of the flatbed or a side door may
cause any objects or luggage which is not
fixed to spill out.
84)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a can that is type-approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. Anyway, by doing so, you
increase the risk of fire in the event of an
accident with your vehicle.
85)Respect the maximum permitted
vehicle loads also shown on the
registration certificate. The user is
responsible for arranging goods in the
luggage compartment and/or on the load
platform within the maximum permitted
loads.
86)Do not carry unnecessary objects on
the flatbed. Particularly if the vehicle is
driven in cities, where frequent stopping
and starting is necessary, supplementary
loads on the vehicle may have major
repercussions on fuel consumption.
Furthermore, do not travel with
unnecessary luggage, loads etc. on the
roof: the increased air resistance will
increase fuel consumption.
87)Using a lower gear when travelling with
heavy loads will improve vehicle
performance and extend the life of the
gearbox, limiting gear shifts and
overheating. This action ensures better
exhaust braking.88)All precautions must be adopted to
prevent danger to other road users if the
load protrudes beyond the contour of the
vehicle. The rear and side protrusion must
be indicated according to the laws in force
in the country. The load must not
compromise stability of the vehicle or cover
lights, visual indicators or identifying plates.
Poles, bars and similar loads which are
difficult to see arranged horizontally must
not protrude beyond the contour of the
vehicle.
IMPORTANT
32)Use a roof carrier that properly fits your
vehicle. Do not load luggage directly onto
the roof. For installation, refer to the
instruction manual accompanying the roof
carrier.
33)Make sure that the weight of the
luggage does not exceed the allowable roof
load. If the allowable roof load is exceeded,
this may cause damage to the vehicle. The
roof load is the total allowable load on the
roof (the weight of the roof carrier plus the
weight of luggage placed on the roof
carrier). For the specific value, refer to
“Maximum roof load”.34)When luggage is loaded onto the
vehicle, please make sure to drive slowly
and avoid excessive maneuvers such as
sudden braking or quick turning. In
addition, place the luggage on the carrier
so that its weight is distributed evenly with
the heaviest items on the bottom. Do not
load items that are wider than the roof
carrier. The additional weight on the roof
could raise the vehicle’s centre of gravity
and affect vehicle handling characteristics.
As a result, driving errors or emergency
maneuvers could lead to a loss of control
and result in an accident.
35)Before driving and after travelling a
short distance, always check the load to
make sure it is securely fastened to the roof
carrier. Check periodically during your travel
that the load remains secure.

NOTE The values under item 9 are
applicable to unladen vehicles. The
value can also be varied depending on
the tyre size, optional equipment and
suspension conditions.
Operating hints
Have your vehicle serviced prior to
towing a heavy trailer, taking particular
care of the state of engine tune, the
condition of brakes, steering and tyres.
Adjust tyre pressures to those
specifications at trailer towing (refer to
“tyre inflation pressure”). Check the
tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the
trailer.
Leave plenty of room between the
front of your vehicle and the preceding
vehicle. If the trailer begins to sway or
becomes difficult to handle, gently slow
down or apply the independent trailer
brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes.
Stop the vehicle and trailer in a safe
location. One cause of swaying is poor
trailer balance and until this has been
overcome the swaying will recur.
Relocated the load in your trailer and
re-assess the problem.
Be sure that the driving speed does
not exceed 100 km/h for trailer
operation.
It is also recommended that you
obey the local regulations in case
driving speed with a trailer is limited to
less than 100 km/h.
To prevent the clutch from slipping
(vehicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when
starting off.
To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.
To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before
descending a slope.
The body, brakes, clutch, and
chassis will be under additional strain
when towing a trailer.
The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel
consumption.
Additional precautions for vehicles
equipped with an automatic
transmission
It is recommended a lower gear in
sports mode on slopes or at low speed,
taking care to keep the engine speed
below the red zone.
WARNING
89)Danger of Accident! A towing bar
should be fitted according to Fiat
Dealership guidelines.
