WARNING
11)Make sure the doors are closed:
driving with doors not completely closed is
dangerous.12)NEVER leave children unattended
inside the car, let alone leave the car with
the doors unlocked in a place that children
can access easily. Children may seriously,
or even fatally, injure themselves. Also
ensure that children do not inadvertently
operate
13)Be careful not to lock the doors while
the key is inside the vehicle.
14)When opening the rear door, confirm
that the occupant of the front seat has
taken off the seat belt before opening the

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

To fold the seat cushions up, raise the
seat cushions.
Securely retain the seat cushion by
hooking the retaining band (A) onto the
head restraint (B) of the rear seat.
Armrest (Double cab)
(Where provided)
To use the armrest, fold it down.
To return to the original position, push it
backward (into the seatback) until it is
flush with the seat.NOTE Do not climb or sit on the
armrest. Doing so could damage the
armrest.
NOTE The top surface of the armrest
contains a cup holder for rear seat
occupants. Refer to “Cup holder”.
WARNING
32)All adjustments must be made with the
vehicle stationary.
33)Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident. After
adjustments are made, ensure the seating
is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
34)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on the
guides by trying to move it back and forth.
If it is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose control of
the vehicle.35)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis.
36)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches”) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.
37)It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. Also, the cargo
area and rear seats should never be used
as a play area by children. In a collision,
people or children riding unrestrained in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
38)Do not allow people or children to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts, and
make sure that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,
or in the case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
39)To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious
injury, when the seatback is reclined.
40)Do not place objects under the seats.
This could prevent the seat from locking
securely, and it could lead to an accident. It
may also cause damage to the seat or
other parts.
41)Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for correct
and safe operation.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning lamps What it means
Oil pressure warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON, and the lamp goes off after the engine has started. If it illuminates while the engine is running,
the oil pressure is too low. If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is running, turn the engine off
and have it inspected.
The oil pressure warning lamp should not be treated as an indication of the engine’s oil level. The oil level
must be checked using the dipstick.
59) 60) 61)
Door-ajar warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when a door is either open or not completely closed.
If the vehicle speed reaches approximately 8 km/h with a door open or incompletely closed, a buzzer
sounds 4 times as a warning.
62)
Washer fluid level warning lamp
This lamp comes on when the washer fluid is running low. If the lamp comes on, replenish the container
with washer fluid. Refer to “Washer fluid” and to “Refill capacities”.
SRS warning lamp
There is a supplemental restraint system (“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system
checks itself every time the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON. The SRS warning lamp will come on for several seconds and then go out. This is normal and
means the system is working properly.
If there is a problem involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning lamp will come on and
stay on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.
On vehicles equipped with the ERA-GLONASS, if the ERA-GLONASS system operates, the SRS
warning lamp illuminates.
63) 64)
105

57)If the lamp illuminates while the engine
is running, avoid driving at high speeds and
have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible. Accelerator
pedal and brake pedal response may be
negatively influenced under these
conditions.
58)If it illuminates while the engine is
running, there is a problem in the charging
system. Immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and we recommend you to have
it checked.
59)If this lamp illuminates when the engine
oil level is not low, have it inspected.
60)This warning lamp does not indicate
the amount of oil in the crankcase. This
must be determined by checking the oil
level on the dipstick, while the engine is
switched off.
61)If you continue driving with low engine
oil level or with this warning lamp
illuminated, engine seizure may occur.
62)Before moving your vehicle, check that
the warning lamp is OFF.
63)If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS
airbags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners,
and they may not function properly in a
collision or may suddenly activate without a
collision: 1 – Even when the ignition switch
or the operation mode is in ON, the SRS
warning lamp does not come on or it
remains on. 2 – The SRS warning lamp
comes on while driving.
64)The SRS airbags and seat belt
pre-tensioners are designed to help reduce
the risk of serious injury or death in certain
collisions. If either of the above conditions
occurs, immediately have your vehicle
checked by a Fiat Dealership.65)Any of the following indicates that the
ABS is not functioning and only the
standard brake system is working. (The
standard brake system is functioning
normally.) If this happens, take your vehicle
to a Fiat Dealership.
66)When the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON, the warning lamp does not
come on or it remains on and does not go
off . The warning lamp comes on while
driving.

SEAT BELTS
To protect you and your passengers in
the event of an accident, it is the most
important that the seat belts be worn
correctly while driving.
The front seat belts each have a
pre-tensioner system (Single cab and
Club cab). The front seat belts and the
rear outer seat belts each have a
pre-tensioner system (Double cab).
These belts are used the same way as
a conventional seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system”.

3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
This type of belt requires no length
adjustment. Once worn, the belt
adjusts itself to the movement of
wearer, but in the event of a sudden or
strong shock, the belt automatically
locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTE You can check if the belt locks
by pulling it forward quickly.
For some markets (for example
Sweden) /where provided, vehicles are
equipped with roller seat belts with
double locking functions in the front
seat as well as the rear seat. You are
not allowed to tamper with the seat
belts or their mounting in any way. If
problems occur, we recommend you to
have the seat belts inspected by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while
holding the latch plate.
NOTE When the seat belts cannot be
pulled out in a locked condition, pull the
belts once forcefully and then return
them. After that, pull the belts out
slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle
until a “click” is heard.
3. Pull the belt slightly to adjust
slackness as desired.
131)
67)
To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the
button on the buckle.NOTE As the belt retracts
automatically, keep the latch plate held
while retracting so that the belt stows
slowly. Failure to do this could damage
the vehicle.
If the seat belt (A) or ring (B) becomes
dirty, the belt may not retract smoothly.
If the seat belt and ring are dirty, clean
them with a mild soap or detergent
solution.

SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed
metallic parts. Replace the belt
assembly if defective.

WARNING
121)Seat belts should always be worn by
every adult who drives or rides in this
vehicle, and by all children who are large
enough to wear seat belts properly. Other
children should always use proper child
restraint systems.
122)Always place the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put it behind you or under your arm.
123)One seat belt should be used by only
one person. Doing otherwise can be
dangerous.124)The seat belt will provide maximum
protection if the recliner seatback is placed
in fully upright position. When the seatback
is reclined, there is greater risk that the
passenger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact accident,
and may be injured by the belt or by
striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
125)Remove any twists when using the
belt.
126)Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if
you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to your child in a
collision or sudden stop.
127)Always adjust the seat belt to a snug
fit.
128)Always wear the lap portion of the
belt over your hips.
129)Never push the button on the buckle
when travelling.
130)Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Pregnant
women should use the available seat belts.
This will reduce the likelihood of injury to
both the woman and the unborn child. The
lap belt should be worn across the thighs
and as snug against the hips as possible,
but not across the waist. Consult your
doctor if you have any additional questions
or concerns.
131)Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against abdomen and
increase the risk of injury.132)Do not attempt to repair or replace
any part of the seat belt assemblies; we
recommend you to have this work done by
a Fiat Dealership. Incorrect repair or
replacement could reduce the
effectiveness of the belts and could result
in serious injury in the event of a collision.
133)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
134)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
135)No modifications or additions should
be made which will either prevent the seat
belt adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat belt
assembly from being adjusted to remove
slack.
IMPORTANT
67)The seat belts must not be twisted
when worn.
68)We recommend you to have all seat
belt assemblies including retractors and
attaching hardware inspected after any
collision. We recommend that seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
69)Once the pre-tensioner has activated, it
cannot be re-used. It must be replaced
together with the retractor.
