HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Each time directions are given in the instructions (left/right or forward/backwards), these must be intended as referred to the
point of view of an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly specified in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position of
some controls or elements is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified by graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A key showing the order of the chapter and
the corresponding tab symbols appears on another page.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it is
made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see immediately what is
described here for yourself.DASHBOARD................8

WARNING
35)Any adjustment of the steering wheel
position must be carried out only with the
vehicle stationary and the engine turned
off. Adjusting the steering wheel while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous. Moving it
can very easily cause the driver to abruptly
turn to the left or right. This can lead to loss
of control or an accident.
36)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any aftermarket operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of antitheft device) that
could adversely affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in the vehicle not meeting
type-approval requirements.
37)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. 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.
MIRRORS
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
38)
Driver's side wide angle mirror
(where provided)
The wide angle mirror has two
curvatures on its surface separated by
a region line 1 fig. 13 into outer and
inner regions.
The inner region is a standard convex
mirror whereas the outer region allows
for a wider range of visibility within the
same sweep. This combination allows
for better assurance when making lane
changes.
Objects appearing in the outer region
are actually further away than they are
in the inner region.
REARVIEW MIRROR
40)
Rearview mirror adjustment
Before driving, adjust the rearview
mirror fig. 14 to center on the view
through the rear window.
Reducing glare from headlights
Adjust the mirror with the antidazzle
lever in the day position.
Push the antidazzle lever 1
fig. 15 forward for day driving (A
position).
Pull it back to reduce glare of headlights
from vehicles at the rear (B position).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

POWER MIRRORS
The ignition must be switched to ACC
or ON position.
To adjust proceed as follows:
rotate the mirror switch to the left 1
fig. 16 (L = left) or right 2 (R = right) to
choose the left or right side mirror;
press the mirror switch in the
appropriate direction.
After adjusting the mirror, lock the
control by rotating the switch to the
center position 0 to prevent accidental
movements.
FOLDING MIRRORS
39)
Manually fold the outside mirror
rearward fig. 17 until it is flush with the
vehicle.
WARNING
38)Be sure to look over your shoulder
before changing lanes. Changing lanes
without taking into account the actual
distance of the vehicle in the convex mirror
is dangerous. You could have a serious
accident. What you see in the convex
mirror is closer than it appears.
39)Always return the outside mirrors to the
driving position before you start driving:
driving with the outside mirrors folded in is
dangerous. Your rear view will be
restricted, and you could have an accident.
40)Do not stack cargo or objects higher
than the seatbacks: cargo stacked higher
than the seatbacks is dangerous. It can
block your view in the rearview mirror,
which might cause you to hit another car
when changing lanes.

STARTING THE
ENGINE
134) 135) 136)
24)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
For starting procedure see “Starting the
engine” in “Getting to know your
vehicle” chapter.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:
park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage
a gear (versions with manual
transmission) or position the gear lever
to P (Parking) (versions with automatic
transmission);
turn the ignition device to STOP with
the engine idling.
WARNING
134)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
135)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
136)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
24)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
PARKING
Keep away the key when leaving the
vehicle and take it with you.
When parking and leaving the vehicle,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (first gear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission, before releasing the brake
pedal, wait for letter P to be displayed.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the vehicle
with the gearbox in neutral (or, on
versions equipped with automatic
transmission, before placing the gear
lever at P).

camera. Have your vehicle inspected at
Abarth Dealership.
VIEWING THE DISPLAY
Guide lines which indicate the width of
the vehicle (yellow) are displayed on the
screen fig. 105 as a reference to the
approximate width of the vehicle in
comparison to the width of the parking
space you are about to back into.
Use this display view for parking your
vehicle in a parking space or garage.
vehicle width guide lines (yellow):
these guide lines serve as a reference
showing the width of the vehicle.
distance guide lines: these lines
indicate the approximate distance of a
point measured from the rear of the
vehicle (from the end of the bumper).
The red and yellow line indicates the
points at about 50 cm, for the red line
and 1 m for the yellow line, from the
rear bumper (central point of each line).
IMPORTANT The guide lines on the
screen are fixed lines. They are not
synced to the driver's turning of the
steering wheel. Always be careful and
check the area to the vehicle's rear and
the surrounding area directly with your
eyes while backing up.
REAR VIEW MONITOR
OPERATION
NOTE Images displayed on the monitor
from the rear view parking camera are
reversed images (mirror images).
Give due consideration to the above
warnings before you use the rear-view
monitor:
shift the selector lever or shift lever to
reverse (R) to switch the display to the
rear view monitor display A fig. 106;
confirming the surrounding
conditions, reverse the vehicle B
fig. 106;
after your vehicle begins entering the
parking space, continue backing up
slowly so that the distance between the
vehicle width lines and the sides of the
parking space on the left and right are
roughly equal;
continue to adjust the steering wheel
until the vehicle width guide lines are
parallel to the left and right sides of the
parking space;
once they are parallel A fig. 107,
straighten the wheels and back your
vehicle slowly into the parking space B
