M: Gear change position. With the
starter device inserted.
D: Drive position. If the engine does
not start, you need to withdraw the key
before activating the ignition again. As
soon as the engine starts, release the
key.
WARNING
49)If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted theft),
have it checked by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
50)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the parking brake.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
51)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
52)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This also applies to cases in which
the vehicle is towed.
53)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.
CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recirculation on, fan speed at zero or
too low, etc.), the vehicle windows and
windscreen may mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Vehicles with ECOMODE
Once activated, ECOMODE can reduce
the air conditioning performance. See
the “Driving suggestions” paragraph in
the “Starting and driving” chapter.
54) 55)
2)
Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use.
For cars with air conditioning without
automatic mode, turn off the system
when you no longer need it.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption to a minimum and helping
safeguard the environment:
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in hot
weather or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before starting off.

NOTE If the window encounters any
resistance during closing (for example a
tree branch, etc.) it stops and lowers a
few centimetres again.
Irregular operation
If the window closing fails to function,
the system moves to no pressure
mode: pull the concerned switch up as
much as needed until the window
closes completely (the window goes
back up gradually); then keep the
switch pulled up (always on the closing
side) for a second, then lower it and
raise it back up completely to reinstate
the system.
If necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Rear sliding windows:
61)
Use the handle 4 fig. 111 and run the
window to the desired stop.
WARNING
59)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
60)When you close the windows, check
that no part of a body (arm, hand, etc.) is
sticking out from the vehicle. Danger of
serious injury.
61)Before manoeuvring it, make sure no
occupant is sticking out of a window or an
open door.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING
127)To prevent opening the door from the inside, use the safety device (refer to the "Child safety” paragraph in the “Knowing your vehicle”
chapter).
128)A collision at 50 Km/h is the equivalent of falling 10 meters. Never hold a child in your arms or on your knees, in case of an accident you
would never be able to hold him even if you have your seat bets fastened. If the vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child
restraint system, and check the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorages.
129)Never leave the vehicle unguarded with the electronic key and a child, a handicapped person or an animal inside, even for a short time.
This could result in your own safety or that of others who could start the engine, setting in motion equipment such as the electric windows or
even locking the doors. Moreover, in hot and/or sunny weather, the vehicle's interior temperature will increase rapidly. Risk of death or serious
injury.
130)Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. Make sure the child always has his/her seat belt fastened and correctly adjusted. Avoid too
heavy clothing that causes the belts to be loose. Never allow the child to put his/her head or arm out the window. Make sure the child is
seated correctly throughout the trip. especially when asleep.
131)Make sure the child seat or his/her feet do not prevent the front seat from locking into place correctly. Refer to the "Front seat"
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter. Make sure that the child seat installed in the vehicle is not at risk of coming out of its
housing. If you have to remove the head rest, make sure it is positioned so it is not thrown about in case of abrupt braking or collision. Always
fasten the child seat even if you are not using it so it is not thrown about in case of abrupt braking or collision.
132)RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before installing a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat, check that the
air bag has been correctly deactivated (refer to the "Passenger side airbag and child restraint systems" paragraph in this chapter).
133)Install the child seat preferably in one of the rear seats.
134)Never install a child seat on the rear centre seat. RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
135)Do not use child seats that could unlock the belt holding it in place: the child seat base must not rest on the seat belt buckle and/or
housing.
136)The seat belt must never be loose or twisted. Never pass the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. Check that the belt has
not been damaged by sharp edges. If the seat belt is not working normally, it will not protect the child. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not use
this seat until the belt has been repaired.
137)Using a child seat inappropriate for this vehicle will not properly protect the child. You risk causing him/her serious injury or death.
138)Do not modify any of the elements of the original safety system: seat belts, ISOFIX, seats and related fastening.
139)Check that the backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system is touching the backrest of the vehicle seat. In that case, the child
restraint system may not rest on the vehicle seat cushion.
140)The ISOFIX anchorages have been designed exclusively for child restraint systems with the ISOFIX system. Never fasten other child
restraint systems, nor seat belts or other objects to these anchorages. Check that there are no obstacles at the level of the anchor points. If
the vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorages checked and replace the child restraint system.
141)Never install a child restraint system with support feet on the central rear seat. Risk of death or serious injury.

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
1 without pressing on the pedals.
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.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
153) 154)
24) 25)
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.
