ADJUSTMENT
26) 27) 28)
1)
Height and depth steering wheel
adjustment
Pull lever 1 fig. 64 and position the
wheel in the desired place: push the
lever beyond the point of resistance to
lock the wheel.
Make sure the wheel is properly locked
in place.
Variable power steering
The variable power steering is an
electronic system that varies the
steering force according to the vehicle's
speed.The steering is thus less stiff when
parking (for greater comfort), but it gets
stiffer as driving at high speeds).
WARNING
26)Adjustments must be carried out only
with the vehicle stationary and the engine
off.
27)Never stop the engine when going
downhill, and in general when the vehicle is
moving (turning the engine off disengages
the power steering).
28)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving the
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that, in addition to invalidating the
warranty, could adversely affect
performance, cause serious safety
problems and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
IMPORTANT
1)You will still be able to turn the steering
wheel with the engine off or in the event of
a system fault. You need to apply more
effort.
START&STOP
SYSTEM
29)
This system lets you reduce fuel
consumption and harmful gas
emissions. When you start the vehicle,
the system is automatically activated.
When driving, the system stops the
engine (in stand-by) while the vehicle is
not moving (traffic jam, stop for a traffic
light, etc.).
OPERATING MODE
The engine is put in stand-by if:the vehicle was driven since its last
stop;
the gear is in neutral;
the clutch pedal is released;
the vehicle speed is lower than
3 km/h.
2) 3) 4)
The instrument panel warning lightturns on to indicate the engine is in
standby.
The vehicle's equipment remains
functioning for the entire time the
engine is off.
The engine is automatically restarted
when the clutch pedal is pressed and
the vehicle is put in gear.

setting off. This allows the fuel circuit to
engage. If the engine doesn't start
within a few seconds, repeat the
procedure.

symbol for informing
consumers in
accordance with
EN16942
The symbols shown below facilitated
recognising the correct fuel type to be
used on your car. Before proceeding
with refuelling, check the symbols
inside the fuel filler flap (where provided)
and compare them with the symbols
shown on the fuel pump (where
provided).
Symbols for diesel powered cars
B7: Diesel containing up to 7% (V/V) of
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters)
compliant with theEN590specification
B10: Diesel containing up to 10% (V/V)
of FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters)
compliant with theEN16734
specification
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.

DIESEL VERSION
PARTICULARITIES
17)
Engine speed
Diesel engines are equipped with an
injection system that does not let the
engine exceed a certain number of
revs, no matter what gear is engaged.
If you see the message "Anti-pollution
control" with the warning light
and
the alarm light, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
While driving, depending on the fuel
type used, in exceptional cases the
vehicle might emit white smoke.
This is due to the automatic
regeneration of the anti-particulate filter
and has no consequences on the
vehicle's performance.
Complete lack of fuel
When refuelling after completely using
up all fuel, you need to restore the fuel
circuit: refer to the "Refuelling the
vehicle" paragraph before restarting the
engine.Winter precautions
To prevent any ice-related
inconvenience:
make sure that the battery is always
charged,
make sure not to leave too little
diesel in the tank, so it doesn't form
water vapour condensation that
accumulates on the bottom of the tank.
IMPORTANT
17)Modifications or repairs to the supply
system that are not carried out correctly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
