Also make sure the lock system was
not accidentally disabled.
In case it was disabled, re-enable it
after disconnecting and reconnecting
the starter device.
WARNING
3)For safety reasons, make sure all the
doors are well closed before setting out.
4)Never leave the vehicle with the remote
or electronic key inside.
5)For safety reasons, always open/close
doors when the vehicle is stopped.
6)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the vehicle, let alone leave it with the doors
unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the parking brake or the brake pedal.
7)Opening or closing the door, as for all
opening parts of the vehicle, must be done
keeping in mind the precautions for use
concerning this operation: check that there
is no one, no part of a body, an animal or
object that could come into contact during
this manoeuvre. Only use the inside and
outside handles to manoeuvre the door.
Use caution in both opening and closing
the doors. Caution: when the vehicle is
parked on an incline, open or close the
door carefully until it locks in place. Always
make sure the sliding door is completely
closed before the vehicle starts moving.
8)Before opening a door, ensure that you
can do it in conditions of safety.9)You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel flap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel flap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side door
to avoid damage.
10)Do not leave the sliding side door open
when the vehicle is parked on a gradient. A
knock could release the latch leaving the
door free to move forward.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
sliding doors open, always check that the
latch is engaged.
12)Always use this device when carrying
children.
13)The spring-loaded system is designed
for optimum usage. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to close.
14)When closing, shut the right hand
swing door fully before you close the left
hand swing door. Never shut the two doors
at the same time.
15)In case of wind, do not leave the rear
swing doors open. Risk of injury.
16)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.

paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle”
chapter);
the engine coolant liquid temperature
is not sufficient;
the anti-particulate filter automatic
regeneration is underway;
the “Accelerated idling” function is
activated (see the “Accelerated idling”
paragraph in the “Starting and driving”
driver);
The instrument panel warning light
turns on to indicate that the engine
cannot be put in standby.
NOTES:To refuel, the engine must be

must stop the engine (refer to the
"Starting the engine” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter):
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
In some cases, the engine can restart
without any intervention to guarantee
safety and ideal comfort. This can be
confirmed when:
the outside temperature is too low or
too high (lower than 0°C or over 35°C);
the MAX DEF function is activated
(refer to the "Air conditioning"
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle”
chapter);
the battery not sufficiently charged;
the vehicle speed is higher than
5 km/h (going downhill, etc.);
repeated pressure on the brake
pedal or need to use the braking
system;
the restarting procedure could be
interrupted if the clutch pedal is
released too quickly when a gear is
engaged.
Cars with remote control
Some of these conditions prevent
automatic engine restart when opening:
one of the doors (for cars with a key);
the passenger door (for vehicles with
an electronic key).
IRREGULAR OPERATION
When the appropriate message
appears on the instrument panel, along
with the integrated light 2 in button 1
fig. 65, the system is deactivated.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
29)In the event of an emergency stop,
pressing the clutch pedal will restart the
engine if the Start&Stop function is active.
30)Before leaving the vehicle, switch off
the engine and do not leave it in standby
(refer to the “Starting the engine”

NOTE Depending on the versions,
adjust a few of the parameters on the
multi-media display panel 3 fig. 106.
Moving shape 4 (depending on the
vehicle): is represented in blue on the
multi-media display panel 3fig. 106.It
indicates the vehicle's trajectory
according to the steering wheel
position.Stationary shape 5: the stationary
shape consists of coloured references
A, B and C fig. 107 that indicate the
distance behind the vehicle:
A (red) about 30 centimetres from the
vehicle;
B (yellow) about 70 centimetres from
the vehicle;
C (green) about 150 centimetres
from the vehicle.
This shape remains stationary and
indicates the vehicle's trajectory if the
wheels are aligned.
This system is initially used by making
use of one or more shapes (moving for
the trajectory, stationary for the
distance). When you get to the red
zone, use the bumper representation to
stop accurately.IMPORTANT The display will show a
reversed image. The outlines are a
representation projected onto a flat
surface. Do not consider this
information if it is superimposed onto a
vertical object or an object on the
ground. The items that appear on the
edge of the screen can be distorted. If
the light is too bright (snow, vehicle is in
sunshine) the video camera's vision can
be disrupted. When the rear doors are
open or not closed properly, the
dedicated message appears and,
depending on the vehicle, the video
camera image disappears.
WARNING
58)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.

Opening the bonnet
Lift the bonnet and accompany it.
Lifting is aided by side dampers.
Closing the bonnet
Make sure nothing has been left in the
engine compartment. Lower the bonnet
to approximately 30 centimetres from
the engine compartment and let it drop.
Make sure that the bonnet is
completely closed and not only
fastened by the locking device by trying
to open it. If it is not perfectly closed,
do not try to press the bonnet down
but open it and repeat the procedure.
WARNING
62)Before any intervention, the engine
must be turned off (and not in stand-by):
you must turn the engine off (refer to the
"Starting the engine" paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter).
63)Do not lean on the bonnet: it could
close involuntarily.
64)When you intervene near the engine,
this last could be hot. Moreover, the
cooling fan could start up at any time. The
warning light serves to remind you of
this condition. Risk of injury.
65)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper is in the stopped
position. Risk of injury.
66)In case of a collision, even a light one
like against the cowling or bonnet, have it
checked at a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.67)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the parking brake is engaged.
68)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
IMPORTANT
17)After every intervention in the engine
compartment, make sure you have not left
anything (rags, tools, etc.); basically these
could damage the engine or start a fire.

WARNING
80)The Cruise Control does not impact the
braking system in any case.
81)It provides a supplementary driving aid.
However, it does not replace the driver. It
cannot take the place of local speed limit
observations, attentiveness (always be
ready to brake) or driver responsibility. The
Cruise Control must not be used when
traffic is heavy, on winding or slippery
roads (ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or when
weather conditions are unfavourable (fog,
rain, wind gusts, etc.). Risk of accident.82)Warning: keep your feet near the
pedals so they are ready to intervene in an
emergency.
83)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
84)Putting the engine in stand-by or
deactivating the Cruise Control does not
rapidly lower the speed: you need to brake
using the brake pedal.
85)In case of a malfunction or failure of the
device, contact a Fiat Dealership.
86)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or
slippery roads.
