KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Any electric brake (or electric winch,
etc.) should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a section
of at least 2.5 mm
2.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the car electrical system can only
be connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use
the preset control unit with a battery
cable with section not less than 2.5
mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (electric brake,
winch, etc.) must take place with
engine running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
109)The ABS with which the car is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
110)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
111)After fitting, screw holes must be
sealed to prevent a exhaust gas inlet.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
112) 113) 114)49)
Before refuelling, make sure that the
fuel type is correct. During refuelling
procedure, switch off the engine,
engage handbrake, rotate the ignition
key to STOP and do not smoke.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 95
(EN228 specification).
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available Diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
Diesel and petrol versions
Proceed as follows:
open the flap A fig. 104 pulling
outwards, insert the nozzle in the filler
and refuel;
after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds
in order for the fuel to flow inside the
tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap A.
The refuelling procedure described
above is illustrated on the label B fig.
104 located inside the fuel flap. The
label also indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL=petrol,
DIESEL=diesel fuel).

STARTING AND DRIVING

set the ignition device to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started
and the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if the AdBlue® was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the “Refuelling
” paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for 2
minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue® is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again; If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM LEVEL: this could cause
damage to the reservoir. UREA
freezes at under -11 °C. Although
the system is designed to operate
below the freezing point of the
UREA, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level
because if the UREA freezes the
system can be damaged. Comply
with the instructions provided in
this section.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the
fluid that has been spilled on the
ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added to
the Diesel fuel tank, this can result
in serious engine damage, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Do not add additives or other
fluids to AdBlue®, doing so could
damage the system.
The use of non-conforming or
degraded AdBlue® may lead to
indications appearing on the
instrument panel display (see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into
another container: it could be
contaminated.
In case of damage to the
sewage system of exhaust gas
resulting from the use of additives /
tap water, the introduction of diesel
fuel, or at least by not fulfilling the
requirements, the warranty expires.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter to
continue using the vehicle normally.
AdBlue® UREA) storage
AdBlue® is considered a very stable
product with a long shelf life. Stored at
temperatures LOWER than 32°C, it
has a shelf life of at least one year.
Follow the instructions on the label of
the container.

Fuels - identification of vehicle
compatibility. Graphic symbol for
consumer information 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 petrol powered cars

STARTING AND DRIVING

E5: Unleaded petrol containing up to
2.7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
5.0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with
EN228.
E10: Unleaded petrol containing up to
3.7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
10.0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with
EN228.
Symbols for diesel powered cars
B7: Diesel containing up to 7% (V/V) of
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters)
compliant withEN590.
B10: Diesel containing up to 10% (V/V)
of FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters)
compliant withEN16734.
WARNING
112)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
113)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.114)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
WARNING
49)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN 590 European specifications. The use
of other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due
to the damage caused. If you accidentally
introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine. Empty the tank.
If the engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time, you must
not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of
the supply circuit as well.
50)If AdBlue® overheats for a prolonged
period inside the tank to over 50 °C (for
example due to direct solar irradiation),
AdBlue® can decompose ammonia
vapours. Ammonia vapours have a
pungent odour when the cap of the
AdBlue® tank is unscrewed, therefore be
careful not to inhale any ammonia vapours
in the tank outlet. In this concentration,
however, the ammonia vapours are not
harmful or dangerous to health.
AdBlue® (UREA)
ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
The car is equipped with an AdBlue®
(UREA) injection system and Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to meet
emission standards.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same time, they ensure
fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and
power. For messages and system
warnings, refer to the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter.
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
32 °C, it has a shelf life of at least
one year.
For more information on the AdBlue®
(UREA) liquid type, see the “Fluids
and lubricants” paragraph in the
“Technical specifications” chapter.
The car is provided with an automatic
AdBlue® (UREA) heating system when
the engine starts allowing the system
to work correctly at temperatures lower
than -11 °C.
IMPORTANT AdBlue® (UREA) freezes
at temperatures lower than -11 °C.

FUEL CONSUMPTION AND CO2EMISSIONS
The fuel consumption and CO2emission figures declared by the manufacturer are determined on the basis of the type-approval
tests laid down by the applicable standards in the country where the car is registered.
The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/equipment/
accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely affect the
aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured. The fuel consumption will only
become more regular after driving the first 3000 km.
To find the specific fuel consumption and CO
2emission figures for this car, please refer to the data in the Certificate of
Conformity, and the related documentation that accompanies the car.
