IGNITION DEVICE
OPERATION
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 4:
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked (with
key removed). Some electrical devices
(e.g. central door locking system, etc.)
are still available;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are available;
AVV: engine starting.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key to
be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.On versions with automatic
transmission (if present) the ignition key
can only be removed when the gear
lever is at P (Park).

STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is in the STOP position,
remove the key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
IMPORTANT If the ignition key has been
moved from the MAR to the STOP
position, the steering lock cannot
engage until the key is removed from
the ignition device.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly and
turn the key to MAR.

WARNING
2)If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked by a Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
3)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.4)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.
5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. On versions with
automatic transmission (where present),
bring the gear lever to P (Park) and turn the
ignition device to bring it to STOP. 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.

FIAT CODE
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the vehicle's doors are locked or
unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to MAR,
the Fiat Code system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognised as valid, the Fiat Code
system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Fiat Code system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter).This condition leads to the engine
switching off after 2 seconds. In this
case, bring the ignition device to STOP
and then to MAR; if it is still blocked, try
with the other keys provided. If it is still
not possible to start the engine, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while
driving, this means that the system is
running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop). If the display persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer
than half a second, the windscreen
wiper is moved with active control.
When the driver releases the stalk, the
windscreen wiper makes three strokes.
Afterwards, if the control is in position
, the washing cycle is concluded by
one last stroke after a 6 second pause.
If the position isLOorHI, the smart
washing function is not carried out.
IMPORTANT If the lever is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than
30 seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.
“Service Position” function
This function makes it possible to
replace the wipers or protect them in
conditions of ice and/or snow.
It can only be activated after stopping
the engine.The "Service Position" function can be
explicitly requested within two minutes
of stopping the engine, when the
wipers have correctly returned to the
parking position.
The function can be activated by
turning the ring nut to position
and
moving the stalk upwards, to the MIST
position, more than three times.
The activations are used to position the
wipers as preferred. The function is
deactivated when the vehicle is turned
on, with a wiping request or when the
vehicle is moving (speed above
5 Km/h).
IMPORTANT Make sure, when starting
the engine, that the windscreen is free
of snow or ice before turning the
ignition key.
RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
7) 8)
The sensor will be activated when the
ignition device is turned to MAR, and
will be deactivated in the STOP
position.
This is a device located behind the
interior rear view mirrorfig. 30, in
contact with the windscreen and can
measure the amount of rain and,
consequently, manage the automatic
wiping mode of the windscreen inaccordance with the amount of water
on the screen. The rain sensor will be
activated when the ignition device is
turned to MAR. If no rain is detected,
the wiper will not carry out any strokes.
If it is raining, the windscreen wiper
moves according to the amount of rain
measured by the sensor.
Activation/deactivation: use the
display Menu or theUconnect™
system (where provided).
WARNING
22)If the window needs to be cleaned,
make sure the device is deactivated or the
key is on STOP.

9 - internal air recirculation on/off button;
10 - AUTO function activation button (automatic operation).
Stop/Start(where provided)
The automatic climate control system manages the Stop&Start system (engine off when vehicle speed is equal to 0 km/h) to
ensure adequate comfort inside the vehicle.
In particular, the climate control system deactivates the Stop/Start if:
the climate control system is in AUTO mode (LED on the button switched on) and the temperature conditions inside the
vehicle are far from a comfort temperature;
the climate control system is in MAX A/C;
the climate control system is in the MAX-DEF status.
When the Stop&Start system is active (engine off and vehicle speed equal to 0 km/h), the climate control system will request
restarting of the engine if the inside temperature conditions rapidly deteriorate (or if the user requests maximum cooling – MAX
A/C – or quick demisting – MAX-DEF).
With the Stop&Start system on (engine off and vehicle speed equal to 0 km/h), the flow is reduced as much as possible, to
keep the compartment comfort conditions for longer.
The climate control system control unit attempts to manage the decreased comfort caused by stopping the engine as far as
possible (switching off the compressor and engine coolant pump). It is anyway possible to prioritise the operation of the climate
control system, deactivating the Stop/Start system by pressing the
button, located on the central dashboard panel.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop&Start system to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
NOTE When the Stop&Start system is on (engine off and vehicle at a standstill), the automatic recirculation management is
turned off always taking air in from outside, to reduce the probability of the windows misting up (as the compressor is off).
IMPORTANT
1)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf. In case of a
recharge operation, only use the gas indicated on the label placed in the engine compartment. The use of other coolants affects the efficiency
and condition of the system. The lubricant used for the compressor is also strictly linked to the type of cooling gas, please refer to a Fiat
Dealership.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

Make sure that the bonnet is
completely closed and not only
fastened by the locking device by trying
to open it. If it is not perfectly closed,
do not try to press the bonnet lid down
but open it and repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling.
WARNING
24)Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.
25)The bonnet may drop suddenly if the
supporting rod is not positioned correctly.
26)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the parking brake is engaged.
27)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
DUALDRIVE
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR and the engine started. The
electric steering allows the force
required at the steering wheel to be
adjusted to suit driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder; this is
normal and is due to the intervention of
the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating. No
repair intervention is needed in this
case. When the car is used again, the
power steering will work normally again.
IMPORTANT The Dualdrive electric
power steering provides an electronic
damping effect when approaching the
end of travel. In some manoeuvring
conditions, the steering wheel may
perform an additional small rotation until
reaching its mechanical stop. This
behaviour is normal and is intended to
prevent excessive impacts with the
mechanical components located inside
the device.POWER STEERING
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
28) 29)
Engagement/disengagement
Press the fig. 42 button.
The activation of the function is
signalled by a visual indication (CITY) on
the instrument panel or, based on the
version, on the display.
When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.

Warning light What it means
redSEAT BELTS REMINDER
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side
seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning
light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger side seat
belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened. In this
case, fasten the seat belt.
redENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display on some versions) switches on when the engine is overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on
(or the icon is displayed) again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and,
if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant
level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before turning it off.
redALTERNATOR FAILURE
If this warning light or symbol switches on when the engine is running, this indicates a vehicle recharging
system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
redDOOR OPEN
The warning light or the symbol turns on when one or more doors (or, for some versions also the bonnet
and the engine bonnet) are not perfectly closed (for versions/markets, where provided). An acoustic signal
is activated with the doors open and the car moving. Close the doors properly.
53

Warning light What it means
amberPARTIAL DEACTIVATION OF ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS
The warning light switches on to indicate that some active safety systems have been partially deactivated.
When the systems are reactivated, the warning light switches off.
amberREAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is activated.
amberAT6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light or symbol switches on if the clutch overheats, following particularly heavy use. In this
case, engine performance/functionality is limited. Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or
idling.
amberINJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it
should switch off as soon as the engine is started. The operation of the warning light may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.
20)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly.
The warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption. The warning
light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system. Under these conditions, the
vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the engine
or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the accelerator
pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
