hold button A down for at least
10 seconds, then you should hear the
mechanical stop of the roof motor;
within 5 seconds hold button A
down: the roof will perform a complete
automatic opening and closing cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation procedure
has been successful). If this does not
occur, the procedure must be restarted
from the beginning.
WARNING
22)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key (where present) from the
ignition to avoid the risk of injury due to
accidental operation of the sun roof.

the risk of being injured by the moving
sunroof or by objects getting caught or hit
by it.
IMPORTANT
11)Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
bring the ignition device to STOP
and wait at least 10 seconds;
bring the ignition device to MAR;

SIDE BAGS
To help increase occupants protection
in the event of side impact collisions,
the vehicle is equipped with front side
bags and window bags.
Side bag
These consist of two bags located in
the front seat backrests fig. 87 that
protect the occupants’ pelvis, chest
and shoulder area in the event of a side
impact of medium/high severity.
They are marked by the "AIRBAG" label
sewn on the outer side of the front
seats.
Window bag
These consist of two “drop-down”
cushions, housed behind the side lining
of the roof and covered with finishing
elements fig. 88.
They are designed to protect the head
of front and rear occupants in the eventof a side collision, thanks to the wide
cushion inflation surface.
The deployment of side bags in the
event of side impacts of low severity is
not required.
In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct
position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.

Important notes
Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front airbags and/or side bags may
be deployed in the event of sharp
impacts to the underbody of the car
(e.g. impact with steps, pavements,
potholes or road bumps etc.).When the airbag deploys it emits a
small amount of dust: the dust is
harmless and does not indicate the
beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate
the skin and eyes however: in this case,
wash with neutral soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and
replacement must be carried out at a
Fiat Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed
in different ways on the basis of the
type of collision. Failure to activate one
or more of the devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
87)Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in
the passenger side airbag area, on side
upholstery on the roof or on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger side of the dashboard since
they could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause
serious injury to the passengers.
88)Always drive with your hands on the
rim of the steering wheel so that the airbag
can inflate freely if required. Do not drive
with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.

On some versions, a dedicated
message appears on the display when
it is activated and deactivated.
Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
the driver always keeps at least one
hand on the steering wheel;
vehicle speed ranges between
60 km/h and 180 km/h;
one of the lane lines is perfectly
visible;
there are suitable visibility conditions;
the road is straight or with wide
radius bends;
a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active;
NOTE The system does not apply the
vibration to the steering wheel every
time a safety system is activated
(brakes, ABS, ASR system, ESC
system, Full Brake Control system,
etc.).
IMPORTANT
58)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the camera operating
range.
59)If the windscreen must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively a Fiat Dealership. Do not
replace the windscreen on your own, risk of
malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the area of
the camera.
60)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact a Fiat Dealership.
61)Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects. Also
pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make
sure they do not interfere with the camera.
62)The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windscreen.63)Camera operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or
opposite way on the same lane, bend with
a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
camera operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.

BATTERY
174) 175) 176)
85)
5)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water.
A periodic check carried out at a Fiat
Dealership is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
Replacing the battery
If necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the same
specifications. Follow the battery
Manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
Useful advice for extending the life
of your battery
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet are
closed properly, to prevent any lights
from remaining on inside the passenger
compartment;
switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which switches
all interior lights off automatically;
do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running;
before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If, after purchasing the vehicle, you wish
to install electrical accessories which
require permanent electrical supply (e.g.
alarm, etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact a Fiat Dealership,
whose qualified staff will evaluate the
overall electrical consumption.
86)
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel (or symbol on the
display) switches on to indicate this. To
carry out this procedure, simply turn the
steering wheel all the way from one end
to the other or drive in a straight line for
about a hundred metres.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing its
capacity and efficiency at start-up. The
battery is also more prone to the risk of
freezing (at temperatures of -10°C).
Refer to the "Vehicle inactivity"
paragraph in "Starting and driving"
chapter if the vehicle is left parked for a
long time.
WARNING
166)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
167)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned.
168)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium cap (where
provided). WARNING: risk of burns!
169)The cooling system is pressurised. If
the cap needs replacing, do so with
another original or the effectiveness of the
system may be compromised. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
