55)Have interventions on the bumper in
the area of the sensors carried out only by
a Fiat Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.
56)Only have the bumpers repainted or
any retouches to the paintwork in the area
of the sensors carried out by a Fiat
Dealership. Incorrect paint application
could affect the operation of the parking
sensors.
57)The rear sensors may provide a false
reading, interpreting the tow hook ball
assembly and the respective attachment as
an obstacle in the area behind the car.LANE ASSIST
SYSTEM (lane
crossing warning)
DESCRIPTION
58) 59) 60) 61) 62) 63)
The Lane Assist system makes use of a
camera located on the windscreen to
detect the lane limits and calculate the
position of the car within such limits, in
order to make sure that it remains
inside the lane.
When the one of the lane lines is
detected and the car crosses it without
the awareness of the driver (direction
indicator off), the Lane Assist system
provides a tactile warning by applying
torque to the steering wheel (vibration),
thus advising the driver that he must
take an action to remain in the lane.
IMPORTANT The torque applied to the
steering wheel by the system is
sufficient for the driver to notice it, but
always limited, so that they can easily
override it, and the driver always
maintains control of the car. The driver
can therefore turn the steering wheel as
required at all times.
If the vehicle continues going beyond
the line of the lane without any
intervention from the driver, the
warning light (or the icon on the
display) will be displayed on the
instrument panel to urge the driver to
bring the vehicle back into the limits of
the lane.
IMPORTANT The system monitors the
presence of the driver's hands on the
steering wheel. If they are not detected,
the system emits an acoustic warning
and deactivates until it is reactivated by
pressing the dedicated button (see
description below).
SYSTEM ON/OFF
The Lane Assist system can be
enabled/disabled using button A
fig. 106, located on the left stalk.
Each time the engine is started, the
system keeps the activation status
there was when it was previously
switched off.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
133)Parking and other potentially
dangerous manoeuvres are, however,
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The camera is an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never allow
his/her attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds. Always keep a
slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the
case of obstacles.
IMPORTANT
69)It is vital, for correct operation, that the
camera is always kept clean and free from
any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to the
camera.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
134) 135)
For towing caravans or trailers the
vehicle must be fitted with an approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Should aftermarket installation
be requested, this must be carried out
by specialists.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight
of the trailer. Engage a low gear when
driving downhill, rather than constantly
using the brake. The weight the trailer
exerts on the vehicle tow hook reduces
the vehicle's loading capacity by the
same amount. To make sure that the
maximum towable weight is not
exceeded (given in the vehicle
registration document) account should
be taken of the fully laden trailer,
including accessories and luggage.Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in the
case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case, the top speed must not exceed
100 km/h.
Any electric brake must be powered
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross-section of no less than
2.5 mm
2. In addition to the electrical
branches, the vehicle 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. The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (e.g. electric
brake) must take place with engine
running.
INSTALLING A TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device. It must also
meet current regulations with reference
to Directive 94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must be right for the towable weight of
the vehicle on which it is to be installed.

STARTING AND DRIVING

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
136) 137) 138)
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 95
(EN228 specification).
IMPORTANT Never introduce leaded
petrol to the tank, even in small
amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
70)
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle 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
"Capless Fuel" is a device at the
opening for the fuel tank which opens
and re-closes automatically when the
fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.The "Capless Fuel" device is provided
with an inhibitor which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
open flap A fig. 115, pulling the tab
outwards;
introduce the dispenser 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 flap is provided with a dust cover
gaiter B which prevents deposits of
impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.Emergency refuelling
Proceed as follows:
open the boot and take adaptor C
fig. 116, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap A fig. 115, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the boot.

TOPPING UP AdBlue® DIESEL
EMISSIONS ADDITIVE
(Diesel versions only)
(where provided)
71)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower
than -11°C. If the car stands for a long
time at this temperature refilling could
be difficult.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on flat ground and stop
the engine by setting the start device in
the OFF position;
open the fuel flap A fig. 117, then
undo and remove the cap B (blue) from
the AdBlue® filler.Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue® nozzle in the filler,
start refilling and stop refilling at the first
shut-off (the shut-off indicates that the
AdBlue® tank is full). Do not proceed
with the refilling, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue®;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the AdBlue® tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after
the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter), fill the AdBlue® tank with no
more than 7.5 litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when the AdBlue® level in the container
stops pouring out. Do not proceed
further.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap B fig. 117back on the
AdBlue® filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
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. AdBlue® freezes at
under -11 °C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the AdBlue®, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyond
the maximum level because if the
AdBlue® freezes the system can be
damaged. Follow the instructions in
this paragraph.

STARTING AND DRIVING

If the AdBlue® 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
AdBlue® 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 tocontinue using the car normally.
AdBlue® 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.

WARNING
136)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.
137)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.
138)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
70)Vehicles with a diesel engine must only
be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles,
in compliance with European Standard EN
590. 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.71)If the
AdBlue®overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank to over 50
°C (for example, due to direct solar
irradiation), the
AdBlue®may decompose
and produce 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
vapors are not harmful or dangerous to
health.
AdBlue®(UREA)
ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
The car may be equipped with an
AdBlue® (UREA) injection system and
Selective Catalytic Reduction to meet
emission standards, where provided.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same, 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®
liquid type, see the “Fluids and
lubricants” paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
