RemarksIf the vehicle does not start, a
dedicated message appears on the
instrument panel;
In some cases, you will need to
move the steering wheel while pressing
the ignition button 1 to unlock the
steering wheel column; You will be
warned with message to this effect;
When starting the engine in very cold
weather (less than -10°C): keep the
clutch pressed until the engine starts.
Accessory function
When the engine starts, you can
access a few functions (radio,
navigation system, windscreen wipers,
etc.).
To make the other functions available,
with the key in the passenger
compartment or inserted in the key
reader 2 fig. 211, press button

Irregular operation
The electronic key with easy access will
not function in the following instances:
The electronic key might have dead
batteries
In the vicinity of a device functioning
on the same frequency (screen cell
phone, video games, etc.);
The vehicle is located in an area
known for a high presence of
electro-magnetic waves.A message to this effect appears in the
instrument panel.
Insert the electronic key in the reader 2
fig. 211 as far as it will go.

Vehicles with an electronic key
The vehicle needs to be stopped.
With the electronic key in the reader 2
fig. 211 or in the detection area 3
fig. 212, press button 1 fig. 211: the
engine turns off. The steering wheel
lock locks when the driver's door opens
or when the vehicle is locked.
If the key is not in the passenger
compartment when you try to turn the
engine off, a dedicated message
appears on the instrument panel: press
button 1 fig. 211 for more than
2 seconds.
After turning the engine off, a few
accessories still on (radio, etc.) continue
functioning for about 10 minutes.
When you open the driver's door, the
accessories turn off.
WARNING
149)Do not start the vehicle on an incline
with the gear in neutral. The power steering
might not activate. Risk of accident.150)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.
151)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.
152)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
153)Do not remove the key from the
starter device or the electronic key from the
reader before effectively stopping the
vehicle; stopping the engine means
deleting various aids: When the engine is
stopped, the power brakes, power steering
and safety devices like the air bags and
pre-tensioners no longer work.
154)Especially when you leave the car
with the electronic key in your pocket,
make sure the engine is effectively
stopped.
IMPORTANT
24)When the engine is stopped, never
leave the ignition device in the "M" position
to prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
25)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.

160) 161)
The details of the van version are
described in fig. 220. F max 500 daN
(ISO 27956).
WARNING
160)Always place the heaviest items in
direct contact with the floorboards. If the
vehicle has them, use the anchoring points
located on the luggage compartment floor.
The load must be arranged so that it does
not jeopardise the vehicle's occupants in
case of abrupt braking, unexpected
acceleration or on a steep incline.
161)For safety reasons, make sure all the
doors are well closed before setting out.
SPEED LIMITER
162)
The vehicle's speed can be
permanently limited according to the
vehicle version and the local
regulations.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to modify the
speed limit or activate/deactivate the
function.
It may not be possible to deactivate this
function for specific markets.
Label 1 fig. 221 on the dashboard
reminds you of the speed limit.
NOTE If the vehicle is equipped with the
Speed Limiter, pressing the accelerator
firmly or all the way down (past the
"resistance point") does not let you go
beyond the speed limit (refer to the
"Speed limiter" paragraph).

Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption and thus helping
safeguard the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in high
temperatures or in the sun, open up the
doors to let out the hot air before
leaving.
Do not leave the roof rack mounted if
not in use.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.
To tow a camper, use an approved
deflector and do not forget to adjust it.
Avoid "door to door" use of the
vehicle (short trips with prolonged
stops) because the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.

leave immediately and drive at a
speed between 20 and 60 km/h to
uniformly distribute the product on the
tyre and, after 3 kilometres, stop to
check the pressure;
if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than prescribed, you need to
adjust it (see the label attached to the
driver's door pillar), otherwise see a Fiat
Dealership: you cannot repair it.
WARNING
185)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.
IMPORTANT
33)The kit can repair tyres whose treads A
fig. 265 are damaged by foreign objects
smaller than 4 millimetres. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts larger
than 4 millimetres and those on side B
fig. 265 of the tyre. Also make sure the rims
are in good condition. Do not remove the
foreign object that caused the puncture if it
is implanted in the tyre.34)Do not use the inflation kit if the tyre is
damaged by driving with a puncture. Check
the tyre sides carefully before any
intervention. Travelling with partially or
completely deflated tyres (or punctured)
can cause safety problems and damage
the concerned tyre beyond repair. This
reparation is temporary. A tyre that has
been punctured must be examined (and
repaired if possible) by a specialist as soon
as possible. When replacing a tyre repaired
by the kit, always notify the tyre repairer.
When driving, you can feel vibrations
caused by the product being in the tyre.
35)The kit is approved only for inflating
tyres of vehicles that were originally
equipped with it. It should never be used to
inflate another vehicle's tyres or any other
object (life vests, inflatable mattresses,
etc.). Use the repair canister with great care
to prevent getting splashes of product on
the skin. If the product comes in contact
with skin, rinse thoroughly. Do not leave the
repair kit within the reach of children. Do
not leave empty canister in the
environment. Deliver it to a Fiat Dealership
or to a consortium specialised in its
disposal. The canister has an expiration
date indicated on the label. Check the
expiration date. Go to a Fiat Dealership to
replace the inflation hose and repair
canister.
36)Before using the kit, park the vehicle so
it is sufficiently far from traffic, turn on the
emergency lights, pull up the handbrake
and get all the occupants out of the vehicle,
moving them far away from the traffic.37)In case you are stopped by the
carriageway, warn other road users that
your vehicle is there by placing the warning
triangle or other device allowed by law in
the country you are driving in.
38)Caution, a missing or badly screwed on
valve cap could impact the tyre's grip and
cause a loss of pressure. The valve caps
must all be identical to the original ones
and screwed tightly.
39)After repair using the kit, do not drive
farther than 200 km. In addition, lower your
speed, and in any case do not exceed
80 km/h. The label is to be attached in a
visible part of the dashboard. Depending
on the market country or local laws, a tyre
repaired with the inflation kit must be
replaced.
157

52)If the vehicle will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery and
store it in a heated area to prevent it from
freezing.
IMPORTANT
6)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WHEELS AND TYRES
SAFETY INFORMATION
The tyres are the vehicle's only contact
with the road surface, so they need to
be kept in good condition.
Local laws concerning rules of the road
must be respected.
220) 221) 222) 223) 224)
53) 54)
MAINTENANCE
The tyres must always be in good
condition, the treads have to be thick
enough; the tyres approved by Fiat
have wear warnings 1 fig. 280 that are
made up of protuberances incorporated
in the tread thickness.When the tread pattern is reduced to
the level of the warning protuberances,
they become visible 2 fig. 280: you
need to replace your tyres because the
tread depth is approximately1.6 mm
and that means low grip on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, travelling too
long on highways, in very hot weather
or driving on bumpy roads contributes
to deteriorating the tyres faster.
INFLATION PRESSURE
Respect the inflation pressure (including
the spare tyre), check it at least once a
year and before any long trips (see the
label located on the driver's door pillar).
The pressure must be checked with
cold tyres: do not consider higher
pressures that could be reached during
hot months or after hard driving. If tyre
pressure checking cannot be done with
cold tyres, increase the pressure 0.2 to
0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Vehicles equipped with TPMS: in case
of under-inflating or puncture, the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on. Refer to the “TPMS –
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System”
paragraph in the “Safety” chapter.

there is a significant load.
IMPORTANT For cars used at full load
(Maximum Authorised Mass) and with a
tow trailer, the maximum speed must
not exceed 100 km/h and the tyre
pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar.
Refer to the “Weights” paragraph on
the “Technical data” chapter.Risk of
tyres bursting.
SPARE TYRE
Please see the paragraph "Replacing a
tyre" in the "Emergency" chapter.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
We advise you not to do this kind of
operation.
WINTER USE
55) 56) 57) 58)
Chains
For safety reasons, mounting snow
chains on the rear axle is prohibited.
The use of larger sized tyres than the
original ones makes fitting chains
impossible.Snow tyres
We advise you to fit all four wheels to
guarantee the best vehicle traction
possible.
IMPORTANT These tyres sometimes
mean a direction and maximum speed
that could be less than maximum
vehicle speed.
Studded tyres
(For versions/markets where provided)
This type of tyre can only be used for a
limited time determined by local laws.
You need to respect the speed limits
imposed by local laws in effect.
These tyres can be fitted on at least
both front wheels.
In any case, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
220)Insufficient pressure can cause the
tyres to wear early and heat up abnormally,
with obvious consequences for safety;
poor road grip, risk of blow-out or treads
detaching. Inflation pressure depends on
the load and the speed. Adjust the
pressure according to the conditions of
use (see the label located on the inside of
the driver's door pillar).
