Press functions
When driving, the steering wheel
manoeuvres can be not enough to
automatically bring the lever back to its
original position. In this case, move the
lever 1 halfway and release it: it will
return to its starting point and the
direction indicator lights will flash three
times.
WARNING
33)Before travelling at night: make sure
the electrical equipment is in good
condition and check the headlight height (if
you do not have your usual load
conditions). Check that nothing interferes
with the headlight beams (dust, mud,
snow, etc.).34)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped headlights for
driving during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights on
during the day; where it is not compulsory,
the use of daytime running lights is
permitted.
35)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
highway code of the country in which you
are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
36)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.

WARNING
40)The tank cap is specific. If you need to
replace it, make sure it is the same as the
original. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
let the cap near a flame or heat source. Do
not wash the filling area with a high
pressure cleaning machine.
41)If there is a persistent odour of fuel,
proceed as follows: stop when traffic
conditions allow and disengage the starter
device; start the emergency lights and get
all the occupants out of the vehicle and
away from traffic; contact a Fiat Dealership.
42)Any intervention or modification of the
fuel supply system (electronic circuits,
wiring, fuel circuit, injector, guards, etc.) is
strictly prohibited because of the risks
involved (entrust this exclusively to qualified
Fiat Dealership personnel).
IMPORTANT
8)Do not mix petrol (unleaded or E85) with
diesel, even the smallest amount. Do not
use ethanol-based fuel if your vehicle is not
suitable. To prevent damage to the engine,
do not add additives to the fuel.

11)After filling the AdBlue (Urea) additive
tank, check that the cap and flap are
closed, start the engine and WAIT
10 seconds with the vehicle not moving
and engine started before starting off again.
If you do not do this, the tank filling will be
automatically detected only after a few
minutes' driving. The message to that
effect and/or warning lights will still appear
until the filling has not been detected by the
system.IGNITION DEVICE

starter device is disengaged,
accessories (radio, etc.) continue to
function.
M: Gear change position. With the
starter device inserted.
D: Drive position. If the engine does
not start, you need to withdraw the key
before activating the ignition again. As
soon as the engine starts, release the

WARNING
45)If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted theft),
have it checked by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
46)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the parking brake.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
47)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
48)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This also applies to cases in which
the vehicle is towed.
49)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. If the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope, chock the wheels
with wedges or stones. When leaving the
vehicle, always lock all the doors by
pressing the button on the key.

IMPORTANT
2)The system uses a coolant that is
compatible with the laws in force in the
countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a
or R1234yf (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.
RADAR PARKING
53) 52)

Operating principle
The ultrasound sensors installed in the
rear bumpers (depending on the vehicle
version) "measure" the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle.
If they detect an obstacle, the sensors
set off an acoustic warning, which
frequency increases when getting
closer to the obstacle, until it becomes
a single sound when the obstacle is
about 30 centimetres from the vehicle.
NOTE Make sure you check that the
ultrasound sensors are not covered
(with dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
NOTE Depending on the versions, the
display lets you see the vehicle's
surrounding area to complement the
acoustic warning signal.Operation
When you put the gear in reverse, most
of the objects located less that
1.20 meters from the rear of the vehicle
are detected, an acoustic warning
signal goes off and, depending on the
type of vehicle, display 1 fig. 99 lights
up.
Adjusting the assisted parking
acoustic volume
Depending on the vehicle type, you can
adjust a few parameters on the
multi-media display screen.
Temporary system deactivation
Press switch 2 fig. 100 to deactivate
the system.

Changing the speed
You can vary the speed regulator by
pressing in succession:
button 2 fig. 149 to increase the
speed.
button 3 fig. 149 to decrease the
speed.
Exceeding the speed limit
At any time you can raise the speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal. When
the speed is higher than that set, the
speed indicator will flash on the
instrument panel.
Then release the accelerator pedal:
after a few seconds, the vehicle will
automatically return to the initial speed
set.
Impossibility to maintain speed
In the event of a steep slope, the speed
cannot be respected by the system: the
stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel to inform you of this.Placing the function in stand-by
The function can be suspended:
by pressing button 5 (O) fig. 150;
by using the brake pedal;
by using the clutch pedal.
In the three cases, the speed stays
stored and the message to that effect
appears on the display screen.
Activation is confirmed when the light
goes off
.
Recalling the stored speed limit
If you have stored a speed, you can
recall it, after making sure the driving
conditions allow it (traffic, road
conditions, weather, etc.). Press button
4 fig. 150 if the vehicle speed is over
30 km/h. When recalling a stored
speed, the activation is confirmed when
the warning light goes on
.NOTE If the preceding stored speed is
much higher than the present speed,
the vehicle will accelerate powerfully up
to this limit.
IMPORTANT When the function is in
stand-by, pressing switch 2 fig. 150 will
reactivate the regulator function without
taking into account the stored speed:
the speed the vehicle is travelling will be
used.
Interrupting the function
The function can be disengaged by
pressing button 1 fig. 151. The green
lights turning off
andon the
instrument panel confirm the function
has been deactivated.
