WARNING
90)Don’t put papers and other things that
burn into your ashtrays. If you do,
cigarettes or other smoking materials could
set them on fire, causing damage.
91)Do not touch the heating element or
the cigarette lighter housing, hold the knob
only to prevent burns.
92)Do not allow children to operate or play
with the cigarette lighter as burns may
occur.
93)Do not use any electric appliance that
is not approved by FCA. Doing so could
damage the socket. If you used the
cigarette lighter after damaging the socket,
the cigarette lighter might pop out or fail to
come out after being pushed in.
94)Something is wrong with the cigarette
lighter if it does not pop back out within
approximately 30 seconds of being pushed
in. Pull it out and have the problem
corrected at Fiat Dealership.
95)When the cigarette lighter socket is
used as a power source for an electric
appliance, be sure that the electric
appliance operates at 12 V and has an
electric capacity of 120 W or less. In
addition, long use of the electric appliance
without running the engine may run down
the battery.
96)Keep the lids of storage spaces closed
while driving the vehicle. A lid or the
contents of a storage space could
otherwise cause injuries.
97)The holder should not be used to store
anything heavier than sunglasses. These
objects could drop out.98)Do not drink beverages while driving.
This is distracting and could cause an
accident.
99)Drinks could be spilled by the vibration
and jolts while driving. If the spilt drink is
very hot, you could be burnt.
100)Do not spray water or spill beverages
inside the vehicle. If the switches, wires, or
electrical components become wet, they
could malfunction or cause a vehicle fire. If
you accidentally spill a beverage, wipe up
as much liquid as possible and immediately
consult a Fiat Dealership.
101)Do not put a hanger or any heavy or
pointed object on the coat hook. If the
curtain airbag was activated, any such item
could be propelled away with great force
and could prevent the curtain airbag from
inflating correctly. Hang clothes directly on
the coat hook (without using a hanger).
Make sure there are no heavy or sharp
objects in the pockets of clothes that you
hang on the coat hook.
IMPORTANT
36)When the accessory socket is not in
use, be sure to close the lid, because the
socket might become clogged by foreign
material and be short-circuited.
37)Never leave lighters, canned
carbonated beverage, and spectacles in
the cabin when parking the vehicle in hot
sunshine. The cabin will become extremely
hot, so lighters and other flammable items
may catch fire and unopened drink cans
may rupture. Also, spectacles with plastic
lenses or materials could deform or crack.38)Put out matches and cigarettes before
they are placed in the ashtray.
39)Always close the ashtray. If left open,
other cigarette butts in the ashtray may be
rekindled.
40)Be sure to use a “plug-in” type
accessory operating at 12 V and at 120 W
or less. When using more than one socket
at the same time, make sure that the
electrical accessories are 12 V accessories
and that the total power consumption does
not exceed 120 W.
41)Long use of the electric appliance
without running the engine may run down
the battery.

WARNING
119)In the following situations, brake
performance may be compromised or the
vehicle may become unstable if brakes are
applied suddenly; consequently, avoid
driving at high speeds or applying the
brakes suddenly. Furthermore, immediately
the vehicle should be brought to a stop in a
safe location and we recommend you to
have it checked. 1 – The brake warning
lamp does not illuminate when the parking
brake is applied or does not turn off when
the parking brake is released.2–The
brake warning lamp and the ABS warning
lamp illuminate at the same time. For
details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”. 3 –
The brake warning lamp remains
illuminated while driving.
120)The vehicle should be brought to a
halt in the following manner when brake
performance has deteriorated. 1 – Depress
the brake pedal harder than usual. Even if
the brake pedal moves down to the very
end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed
down hard. 2 – Should the brakes fail, use
engine braking to reduce your speed and
carefully pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.
IMPORTANT
51)This warning lightwill flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle can
be used as normal, but a Fiat Dealership
must be contacted as soon as possible.
52)If the diesel preheat indicator lamp
comes on after the engine is started, the
engine speed may not rise above the idling
speed because of fuel freezing. In this case,
keep the engine idling for about
10 minutes, then turn off the ignition switch
or put in OFF the operation mode, and
immediately turn it on or put in ON again to
confirm that the diesel preheat indicator
lamp is off.
53)When this indicator lamp blinks,
electronic stability control function or active
traction control function is operating, which
means that the road is slippery or that your
vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip. If this
happens, drive slower with less accelerator
input.54)If an abnormal condition occurs in the
system while driving, the
indicator lamp
will illuminate. In these cases, follow these
procedures:1–Ifthetemperature in the
braking system continues to increase due
to continuous brake control on a slippery
road surface, the
indicator lamp will
blink, and operation of the active traction
control function will be suspended to
protect the brake system. (The engine
control of the active traction control
function and normal brake operation will
not be affected). Park your vehicle in a safe
place. When the temperature in the braking
system has come down, the
indicator
lamp will go off and the electronic stability
control function and active traction control
function will start operating again.2–Ifthe
indicator lamp does not go out even
through the above procedure is followed,
there could be a problem in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine again
and check whether the
indicator lamp
goes out. If the indicator lamp goes out,
there is no abnormal condition.3–Ifthe
indicator lamp illuminates even after
your vehicle is driven a short distance after
re-starting the engine, we recommend you
to have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
55)Prolonged driving with this lamp on
may cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
56)If the lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in
ON, we recommend you to have the
system checked.
