Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

IMPORTANT

This Owner Handbook describes all versions of the Fiat Punto, it is therefore necessary to please consider only the information relevant to the trim level, engine and version of your car. All data contained in this publication are purely indicative. FCA Italy S.p.A. can modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this publication at any time, for technical or marketing purposes. For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

VERY IMPORTANT

REFUELLING

Petrol engines : only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European Standard

EN228. The use of petrol that does not conform to the specification indicated above may cause the EOBD warning light to switch on and the irregular operation of the engine.

Diesel engines : refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the handbrake is engaged and place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning light to switch off (and warning light for diesel versions); turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

Versions with Dualogic gearbox : make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), fully depress the brake pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components related to emissions to ensure increased respect for the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.

They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle electric system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct servicing of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs unchanged in time.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate 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 or construction of some controls 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 with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your vehicle.

There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries.

Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.

WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols: personal safety; vehicle safety; environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.

That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

SYMBOLS

Some vehicle components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component.

A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.

VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

WARNING

1) Press button B only with the key away from your body, especially your eyes and from objects which could get damaged

(e.g. your clothes). Do not leave the key unattended, to prevent people, especially children, from inadvertently pressing the button.

WARNING

1) The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is subjected to strong shocks. In order to ensure complete efficiency of the electronic devices inside the key, it should never be exposed to direct sunlight.

WARNING

1) Used batteries should be disposed of, as specified by law, in the special containers, otherwise take them to a Fiat

Dealership, which will deal with their disposal.

2 F1E0004

IGNITION DEVICE

2) 3) 4) 5)

The key can be turned to three different positions fig. 3:

STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked.

Some electrical devices (e.g. audio system, central door locking system, etc.) can operate;

MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are enabled;

AVV: engine starting.

3 F1E0655

The ignition device is fitted with a safety system that requires the ignition key to be turned back to STOP if the engine does not start, before the starting operation can be repeated.

STEERING LOCK

Engagement : when at STOP, remove the key and turn the steering wheel until it locks.

Disengagement : move the steering wheel slightly and turn the key to MAR.

WARNING

2) If the ignition device is tampered with

(e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible before resuming driving.

3) When getting out of the vehicle, always remove the key to prevent any occupants from accidentally activating the controls.

Remember to engage the handbrake.

Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked uphill or reverse if the vehicle is parked downhill. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.

4) 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).

This could badly affect performance and safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in the non-compliance of the vehicle approval requirements.

5) Never remove the 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.

THE FIAT CODE

SYSTEM

This is an electronic engine locking system which increases protection against attempted thefts of the vehicle.

It is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started by turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat

CODE system control unit sends a recognition code to the Powertrain

Control Module to deactivate the immobiliser.

The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit has acknowledged the code received from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to

STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates the functions of the

Powertrain Control Module. If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the warning light switches on in the instrument panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR; if it is still locked, try again with the other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.

If the warning light switches on, this means that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for example due to a voltage drop). Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat Dealership.

DUALDRIVE

ELECTRIC POWER

STEERING

29) 30) 31)

This only operates with the key turned to MAR and the engine started.

The steering allows the force required at the steering wheel to be adjusted to suit driving conditions. When the

CITY function is on, the steering wheel effort is lighter, making parking easier: therefore, this function is particularly useful for driving in city centres.

IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly, full power steering functionality can be achieved after a few seconds.

CITY FUNCTION

ACTIVATION/

DEACTIVATION

Press button CITY fig. 27, function activation is signalled by the word CITY on the display (for versions with multifunction display) and by the word

CITY lighting up on the button after it has been pressed. Press the button again to deactivate the function

5) Use the sunroof only in spoiler position if transverse roof racks are fitted. Do not open the sun roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may damage it.

27 F1E0941

IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering, the steering may become harder: this is normal and is due to the intervention of the system to protect the electric steering motor from overheating, so no intervention is required. When the vehicle is used again later on, the power steering will work normally.

WARNING

29) It is strictly forbidden to carry out any after-market operation involving steering system or steering column modifications

(e.g. installing an anti-theft device). This could badly affect performance and safety, invalidate the warranty and also result in the non-compliance of the vehicle with regulations.

30) Before carrying out any maintenance operation, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key to activate the steering lock. This is particularly important if the vehicle's wheels are raised from the ground. If this is not possible (for example if the key needs to be turned to MAR or the engine must be running), remove the main fuse that protects the electric power steering.

31) Factors independent of the electric power steering could cause the warning light on the instrument panel to switch on: stop the vehicle immediately, should it be in motion, turn the engine off for about 20 minutes and then restart it. If the warning light stays on (on some versions along with a message on the display) contact a Fiat dealership.

ECO FUNCTION

INTRODUCTION

The LPG version features two fuel supply systems: one for petrol and one for LPG.

Every time the vehicle is not in use for a long period or moved in an emergency as a result of a breakdown/accident it is recommended to: unscrew the fixing devices A fig. 34, then remove the cover B; close the LPG tap by rotating the ring nut C fig. 35 clockwise, then refit the cover and re-tighten the fixing devices.

WARNING

6) Do not fit additional objects onto the rear parcel shelf or tailgate (speakers, spoilers, etc.), except when contemplated by the manufacturer, to ensure the correct operation of the side gas shock absorbers of the tailgate itself.

LPG TANK

11)

F1E0569

The tank A fig. 36 for storing the LPG in a liquid state is located in the spare wheel compartment.

F1E0568

36 F1E0557

LPG tank certification

The LPG tank is certified in accordance with the regulations in force.

In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years starting from the car registration date. If the vehicle has been registered in a country other than Italy, the duration and the testing/inspection procedures of the LPG tank can vary depending on the national laws of that country. In all case, when the time limit for your country has expired, go to a Fiat Dealer to have the tank replaced.

SELECTION OF

PETROL/LPG SUPPLY

TYPE

12) 13) 14)

The button A fig. 37 allows you to select running on petrol or LPG. The current state is signalled by the icon on the instrument panel display turning on/off (icon on: running on petrol / icon off: running on LPG).

Switching to the chosen supply system takes place according to the vehicle usage conditions, therefore it might not be immediate.

If the LPG runs out, the system automatically switches to petrol and the icon is displayed. When the described conditions are no longer present, the system automatically returns to running on LPG and the icon turns off.

REFUELLING

15) 16)

LPG

Maximum refuelling capacity (including reserve): 39.6 litres. The figure already takes into account the 80% tank filling limit and the residual fluid required for priming and the maximum permitted capacity. After different refuelling processes, this figure may vary due to differences between the network pump supply pressures, pumps with different supply/locking features, tank not completely run out of fuel.

37 F1E0705

WARNING

37) Note that in some countries (including

Italy) there are legal restrictions in force for parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by gas that is denser than air; LPG comes under this category.

38) Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

39) Do not switch between the two operating modes whilst starting the engine.

WARNING

7) The system operates at temperatures ranging between -20°C and 100°C.

8) If the fuel runs out while running on LPG, the car switches to petrol automatically and all the bars of the digital indicator on the display turn off. The display remains in this state until the next LPG refuelling.

9) The car is equipped with a gaseous LPG injection system designed specifically for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden to alter the configuration of the system or its components. The use of other components or materials could cause malfunctions and lead to a reduction in safety; therefore, in the case of problems, contact a Fiat

Dealership. To prevent damage to the gas system parts when towing or raising the vehicle, follow the instructions in the

"Towing the vehicle" paragraph.

10) When painting in an oven, the LPG tank must be removed from the car and later refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although the LPG system has numerous safety features, it is advisable to proceed as follows every time the vehicle is not in use for a long period or moved in an emergency as a result of a breakdown or accident: unscrew the fastening devices A fig. 34 , then remove the cover B. Close the LPG cock rotating the ring nut C clockwise fig. 35. Refit the cover and retighten the fastening devices.

11) Periodically (at least once every six months) it is advisable to let the LPG in the tank run out and check that it does not exceed the maximum capacity of 39.6 litres

(including reserve) at the first refuelling

(see instructions in the "Capacities" paragraph in this Supplement). If the level is above 39.6 litres (reserve included) contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.

12) Regardless of the last fuel system used, at the following engine starting, after the initial petrol stage, the system will automatically switch to LPG.

13) When switching from petrol to LPG is requested, a metal noise from the valves which pressurise the circuit can be heard.

As a result of the switching logic described above, a delay between the valve ticking and the green warning light on the instrument panel turning off is completely normal.

14) In particular usage conditions, such as starting and operation at low ambient temperature or LPG supply with low propane content, the system may switch temporarily to petrol operation, without indicating the performed switching. In the event of low LPG levels in the tank or requests for high performance (e.g.

overtaking, vehicle fully laden, steep hills) the system may automatically switch to running on petrol to guarantee the required engine power; the icon on the instrument panel turns on to indicate this.

When the above conditions are no longer present, the system automatically returns to running on LPG and the warning light turns off. To achieve the automatic switching described above, make sure that there is always enough fuel in the petrol tank.

15) Only use LPG for motor vehicles.

16) It is strictly forbidden to use any additive in the LPG.

VERSION WITH

METHANE SYSTEM

(Natural Power)

40) 41) 42) 17)

INTRODUCTION

The "Natural Power" version features two fuel systems, one for petrol and one for natural gas (methane).

METHANE CYLINDERS

The vehicle has two cylinders (see fig.

38 and fig. 39) located under the floor and protected by two special guards.

The methane, stored in the cylinders at high pressure, flows through a dedicated pipe to reach the pressure regulator/reduction unit which supplies the two methane injectors at low pressure (about 9 bar).

38 F1E0586

39 F1E0587

Cylinder certification

The cylinders are certified in accordance with ECE Regulation no.

110. The cylinders must be inspected, according to the Procedure of the

ECE Regulation no. 110, every 4 years from the vehicle registration date or in accordance with specific regulations in individual countries.

The plates provided by the Dealership with the on board documentation contain the date for the first inspection of the cylinders. Methane refuelling stations are not authorised to refill the cylinders when the inspection date has expired.

IMPORTANT If the vehicle has been registered in a country other than Italy, the certification data, identification and inspection procedures for the methane cylinders should conform to the legislation in that country. In any case, remember that the life of the cylinders is 20 years from the production date as set out in ECE

Regulation no. 110.

SELECTION OF

PETROL/METHANE

SUPPLY TYPE

43) 18) 19) 20)

This engine normally runs on methane except during starting, when it runs on petrol. The button A fig. 40 allows drivers to select petrol or methane operation.

Actual switching to the chosen supply system takes place according to the vehicle usage conditions, therefore it might not be immediate. Switching is indicated by the warning light coming on/off in the instrument panel.

In addition, when starting at outside temperatures below approximately

–10°C, the switching times from petrol to methane increase to allow the pressure regulator/reduction unit to heat up.

If methane runs out, switching to petrol takes place automatically (the four bars of the digital indicator on the display switch off and the warning light switches on in the instrument panel). The engine can still run for some kilometres with methane supply before switching to petrol operation.

SUPPLIES

Methane

Capacity: about 13 kg. The total volume of cylinders is about 84 litres.

40 F1E0500

WARNING

40) The Fiat Punto Natural Power is equipped with a high pressure methane fuel supply system, designed to operate at a rated pressure of 200 bar. It is dangerous to stretch the system with higher pressures. When towing or lifting the vehicle, follow the instructions in the main handbook under the paragraph on "Towing the vehicle" to prevent damage to the methane system parts. If there is a problem with the methane system, only contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not alter the methane system configuration or components; they are designed exclusively for the Fiat Punto Natural Power. The use of other components or materials could cause malfunctions and reduce safety.

41) In the case of painting in an oven, the cylinders should be removed from the vehicle and refitted later by a Fiat Dealer.

Although the methane system has numerous safety features, it is advisable to close the manual cocks for the cylinders every time the vehicle is not in use for a long period, transported on other vehicles or moved in an emergency as a result of a breakdown or accident.

42) Modifications or repairs to the fuel system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into account can cause malfunctions leading to a fire risk.

43) Do not switch between the two operating modes whilst starting the engine.

WARNING

17) If, during methane operation, the same runs out, the vehicle switches to petrol automatically and all the bars of the digital gauge on the display switch off; this displaying remains until the next methane refuelling.

18) Regardless of the last fuel system used, at the following engine starting, after the initial petrol stage, the system will automatically switch to methane.

19) When switching from petrol to methane is requested, a metal noise from the valves which pressurise the circuit can be heard, as it happens while starting the vehicle. For the switching logic described above, a delay between the valve ticking and the switching off of the instrument panel indication is completely normal.

20) In particular usage conditions, such as starting and operation at low ambient temperature, the system may switch temporarily to petrol operation, without indicating the performed switching. In the event of low methane levels in the tank or request for high performance (e.g.

overtaking, vehicle fully laden, steep hills) the system may automatically switch to petrol operation to guarantee the engine power requested; the warning light on the instrument panel switches on to indicate this. When the above conditions are no longer present, the system automatically restores methane operation; the warning light switches off. To achieve the automatic switching described above, make sure that there is always enough fuel in the petrol tank.

For permanent deactivation of the acoustic signal (buzzer) of the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system contact a Fiat

Dealership. On some versions, the system can be reactivated from the Setup Menu.

Warning light What it means

DOORS/BONNET/LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN

On some versions, the warning light turns on along with a message and a symbol on the display, when one or more doors, the bonnet or the tailgate are not properly closed. An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and the car moving.

LOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but should switch off after a few seconds.

Low brake fluid level : the warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possibly due to a leak in the circuit. On some versions, a message is shown on the display.

44)

Handbrake engaged

The warning light switches on when the handbrake is engaged. If the vehicle is moving a buzzer will also sound.

IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when the vehicle is in motion, check that the handbrake is not on.

44) If the

WARNING warning light comes on while driving, stop the car immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Warning light What it means

EBD FAILURE

If the (red) and (amber) warning lights come on simultaneously while the engine is running, it indicates either a malfunction of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. On some versions, a message is shown on the display. Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.

AIR BAG FAILURE

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a fault in the airbag system. On some versions, a message is shown on the display.

45) 46)

ENGINE OIL MINIMUM LEVEL (for versions/markets, where provided)

The warning light comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but should go off after a few seconds. The warning light comes on when the engine oil level falls below the minimum recommended value. Restore the correct engine oil level. On some versions, a message is shown on the display.

WARNING

45) If, when turning the key to MAR, the warning light does not switch on or if it stays on when travelling, there could be a fault in the restraint systems; in this event airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in the event of impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may deploy accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

46) A failure of the warning light is indicated by the warning light flashing. In this case, any faults of the airbag system might be not signalled. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

Warning light What it means

LOW BATTERY CHARGE (For versions/markets, where provided)

The warning light comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as soon as the engine has started (with the engine running at idle speed a brief delay before going out is acceptable). If the warning light stays on constantly or flashing (on some versions along with a message on the display) contact a Fiat Dealership.

“DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE (For versions/markets, where provided)

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few seconds.

If the warning light stays on (on some versions along with a message on the display) you may not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be notably increased. However, steering is possible. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership. On some versions, a message is shown on the display.

INSUFFICIENT ENGINE OIL/PRESSURE: When the ignition key is turned to MAR the warning light switches on, but should switch off as soon as the engine is started.

Insufficient engine oil pressure : the warning light switches on constantly (on some versions along with a message on the display), when the system detects that engine oil pressure is insufficient.

47) 48)

WARNING

47) If the warning light comes on while driving (on some versions along with a message on the display), stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

48) After the warning light comes on, the degraded engine oil must be changed as soon as possible, and never more than 500 km from the first time that the warning light comes on. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty.

Remember that the operation of this warning light is not related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top up with oil when the light starts flashing.

Warning light What it means

Degraded engine oil (MultiJet versions with DPF)

The warning light comes on and flashes (on some versions along with a message on the display). Depending on the versions, the warning light can flash: for 1 minute every 2 hours or for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for 5 seconds until the oil is changed. After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning light will continue to flash in the same mode, until the oil is changed. On some versions, a message is shown on the display.

The flashing of the warning light should not be considered as a fault, it simply informs the customer that the oil needs to be changed following normal car use. On some versions, if the oil is not changed, when a second degradation threshold is reached, the instrument panel warning light also comes on and the engine is limited to 3000 rpm operation. If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration threshold is reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm to prevent damage.

Engine oil deterioration is accelerated by: use of the vehicle mainly in town, which makes the DPF regeneration process more frequent; use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reach its regular operating temperature; repeated interruptions to the regeneration process signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

21)

WARNING

21) To prevent damaging the engine, it is advisable to change the engine oil when the warning light flashes. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

Warning light What it means

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few seconds.

The warning light comes on (on some versions along with a message on the display), when the engine has overheated.

In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on again, contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the car is used under demanding conditions (e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if the warning light stays on, stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check that the coolant level is correct as described above. On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.

IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before switching it off.

Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEACTIVATED

The warning light in the centre of the dashboard or, on some versions, on the instrument panel, comes on when the front passenger side airbag is deactivated. With front passenger airbag on, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on constantly for several seconds and then it should switch off.

Warning light What it means

INJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE

In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to MAR the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as the engine is started. If the warning light stays on or comes on while driving, it indicates that the supply/ ignition system is not working correctly, causing possible loss of performance, high exhaust emissions, poor driveability and high fuel consumption levels. On some versions the display shows the dedicated message. Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed without demanding excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the warning light on constantly may cause damage: contact a Fiat

Dealership as soon as possible. The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.

NOTE For petrol engines, if the warning light flashes, the catalytic converter may be damaged. In this case, it is necessary to release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing; continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

24)

WARNING

24) If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light does not come on, comes on constantly or flashes while driving (on some versions along with a message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of the warning light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are driving.

Warning light What it means

ESC SYSTEM FAILURE

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few seconds.

If the warning light does not go off or stays on while driving (on some versions along with a message on the display) contact a Fiat Dealership. Flashing of the warning light while driving indicates the intervention of the ESC system.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM FAILURE (for versions/markets, where provided)

When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light comes on (on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display) in the event of a Hill Holder system failure, but it should go off after a few seconds. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. On some versions, the warning light comes on instead.

FIAT CODE SYSTEM FAILURE (for versions/markets, where provided)

IMPORTANT At ambient or high temperatures, the warning light may stay on for an extremely short time.

Glow plug pre-heating failure : the warning light will flash, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, to indicate a fault in the glow plug pre-heating system. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

Warning light What it means

DPF CLEANING (PARTICULATE TRAP) IN PROGRESS (Multijet versions with DPF only)

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but should switch off after a few seconds.

The warning light switches on constantly, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, to notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.

The warning light does not come on every time the DPF is being regenerated, rather only when the driving conditions are such that the driver needs to know it. To switch the warning light off, the vehicle must be kept moving until the regeneration process is completed. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm. If this light switches on, it does not mean that the vehicle is defective, so there is no need to take it to a workshop.

50)

WARNING

50) The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic and weather conditions and the driver must always comply with the Highway Code.

The engine can also be switched off if the DPF warning light is on; nevertheless, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause an early deterioration of engine oil. For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before stopping the engine as described above. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.

Warning light What it means

25) The presence of water in the supply circuit may severely damage the injection system and cause irregular engine operation. If the warning light comes on (on some versions along with a message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the system bled. If the above indication occurs immediately after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Warning light What it means iTPMS (for versions/markets where provided)

Low tyre pressure : The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the recommended value, in order to guarantee long tyre life and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a slow loss of pressure. In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be flat and probably punctured. In this case it is advisable to restore the correct pressure value. Once the normal operating conditions of the vehicle are restored, carry out the Reset procedure.

IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.

iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated : The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly (along with a dedicated message on the display) to indicate that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty.

ACTIVE SAFETY

SYSTEMS

ABS (Anti-lock Braking

System)

This system, which is an integral part of the braking system, prevents one or more wheels from locking and slipping in all road surface conditions, irrespective of the intensity of the braking action, ensuring that the vehicle can be controlled even during emergency braking. The ABS also includes the following systems: EBD

(Electronic Braking Force Distribution) and HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist).

System intervention : can be detected because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be altered to suit the type of road surface.

IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency of the braking system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: during this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged braking.

51) 52) 53) 54) 60) 61) 62)

MBA (Mechanical Brake

Assist) SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

55)

This system (which cannot be deactivated) recognises emergency braking conditions according to the speed of operation of the brake pedal and provides an additional hydraulic braking pressure to support that provided by the driver. This allows faster and more powerful operation of the braking system.

ESC (Electronic Stability

Control) SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

56) 57) 58)

This is an electronic system that controls vehicle stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping maintain directional control. The system is capable of recognising potentially dangerous situations in terms of the stability and intervenes automatically on the brakes in a differentiated manner for the four wheels in order to provide a stabilising torque. The ESC system switches on automatically when the engine is started and cannot be switched off.

System intervention : is indicated by the flashing of the warning light on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the vehicle is in critical stability and grip conditions.

HH (Hill Holder) SYSTEM

This system is an integral part of the

ESC system and facilitates starting on slopes. It activates automatically uphill : with vehicle stationary, on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake pedal pressed and gearbox in neutral, or gear different from reverse engaged; downhill : the

Hill Holder function activates automatically with vehicle stationary, on a road with a gradient higher than

5%, engine running, brake pedal pressed and reverse engaged.

When setting off, the ESC system control unit maintains the braking pressure on the wheels until the torque necessary for starting is reached, or in any case for a maximum of 2 seconds, allowing your right foot to be moved easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator. If the vehicle has not departed after this time, the system will deactivate automatically by gradually releasing the brake force. During this release stage, the typical mechanical brake release noise can be heard, indicating that the vehicle is about to move.

NOTE The Hill Holder system is not active with parking brake engaged.

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking brake, therefore do not leave the vehicle without activating the handbrake, switching off the engine, and engaging first gear, with the vehicle parked in safe conditions.

ASR (AntiSlip

Regulation) SYSTEM

58) 59)

It is an integral part of the ESC system.

It automatically operates reducing the power transmitted by the engine in the event of drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet roads (aquaplaning), acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc. Depending on the slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated: if both drive wheels skid, the ASR function intervenes by reducing the power transmitted by the engine while if only one of the drive wheels skids, the system intervenes by automatically braking the wheel that is skidding.

Engagement/disengagement of the

ASR system

The ASR system switches on automatically each time the engine is started. Whilst driving, the ASR can be switched off and subsequently switched on again by pressing the ASR

OFF button fig. 46.

When the system is not active, the LED on the same button turns on and, on some versions, a dedicated message appears on the display.

46 F1E0940

If the ASR is deactivated whilst driving, the next time the engine is started the ASR will be automatically activated.

When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, the driving wheels skidding when setting off gives you better traction.

WARNING

51) The ABS exploits the grip available to the full, but it cannot improve it. Therefore, you should take great care when driving on slippery surfaces, without taking unnecessary risks.

52) When the ABS intervenes and you notice the brake pedal pulsating, do not be afraid to keep the pedal pushed down.

This will help you to stop in the shortest distance possible, depending on the road conditions.

53) If the ABS intervenes, it means you have almost reached the grip limit between the tyres and the road surface: slow down to make sure you can use the available grip.

54) If only the warning light on the instrument panel switches on (along with a message in the multifunction display, for versions/markets, where provided) stop the vehicle immediately and contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the braking system will compromise the operation of the braking system, whether it is of the conventional type or with ABS.

55) When the Mechanical Brake Assist intervenes, noises may be heard from the system. This is normal. In any case, while braking keep the brake pedal firmly pressed.

56) For the correct operation of the ESC and ASR systems, it is essential that the tyres are of the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of the specified type and dimensions.

57) If the space-saver wheel is used, the ESC system keeps operating. Always remember that the space-saver wheel, being smaller than the original wheel, provides less grip.

58) Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your vehicle is fitted with the ESC and

ASR systems. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is ultimately responsible for road safety.

59) For the correct operation of the ASR system, the tyres must of necessity be the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of the prescribed type and dimensions.

60) The HBA system cannot increase tyre grip on the road over the limits imposed by laws of physics: always drive carefully according to the conditions of the road surface

61) The HBA system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on bends, travelling on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.

62) The HBA system is an aid for the driver, who must always pay full attention while driving. The responsibility always rests with the driver. The features of the HBA system must never be tested in imprudent or dangerous ways, with the possibility of putting the safety of the driver, occupants or other road users at risk.

DRIVING

ASSISTANCE

SYSTEMS

iTPMS (indirect Tyre

Pressure Monitoring

System)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

63) 64) 65) 66) 67) 68)

The vehicle can be equipped with the iTPMS (indirect Tire Pressure

Monitoring System) which monitors the tyre inflation status thanks to wheel speed sensors.

The system warns the driver if one or more tyres are flat by switching on the warning light constantly and by displaying a dedicated message. If one tyre only is flat, the system can indicate its position: it is in any case recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres. This indication is displayed also when turning the engine off and on again until the Reset procedure is carried out.

Reset procedure

The iTPMS needs an initial "selflearning" phase (with length depending on the driving style and road conditions: optimal conditions being driving on a straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20 minutes) which starts when the Reset procedure is carried out.

The Reset procedure must be carried out: each time the tyre pressure is modified or when even a single tyre is replaced; when tyres are rotated/inverted; when the space-saver wheel is fitted.

Before carrying out the Reset procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated pressure values specified in the inflation pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical specifications" chapter).

If the Reset procedure is not carried out, in all above cases, the warning light may give false indications on one or more tyres. To carry out the

Reset procedure, with the vehicle stopped and the ignition device at

MAR, use the Setup Menu as follows: press the MENU / button briefly: the display will show the wording

"Reset"; press the + button or – the button to select ("Yes" or "No"); press the MENU / button briefly: the display will show the wording

"Confirm"; press the + button or the – button to select ("Yes" to "Reset" or "No" to exit the screen); hold the MENU / button down to go back to the standard screen or main menu, depending on where you are in the menu.

At the end of the Reset procedure the display will show the "Reset saved" message, indicating that the "selflearning" has been started.

Working conditions

The system is active for speeds above

15 km/h.

In a few situations such as sporty driving, particular conditions of the road surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may be delayed or partial in detecting the contemporary deflation of more than one tyre.

Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle loaded asymmetrically on one side, towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre, fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the

"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow chains, fitting different tyres on the axles) the system may give false indications or be temporarily deactivated.

If the system is temporarily deactivated the warning light flashes for about

75 seconds and then is continuously on

(at the same time, the display shows a dedicated message).

This indication is displayed also after the engine has been switched off and then on again if the correct operating conditions are not restored.

WARNING

63) If the system signals a pressure decrease on a specific tyre, it is recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres.

64) iTPMS does not relieve the driver from the obligation to check the tyre pressure every month; it is not even to be considered a replacing system for maintenance or a safety system.

65) Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres cold. Should it become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even though it is higher than the prescribed value, but repeat the check when tyres are cold.

66) The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (for example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution and avoiding abrupt steering.

67) The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not able to inflate them.

68) Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel consumption, reduces the tread duration and may affect the capacity to drive safely.

OCCUPANT

PROTECTION

SYSTEMS

some of the most important safety equipment of the vehicle comprise the following protection systems: seat belts;

SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system; head restraints; child restraint systems;

Front airbags and side bags.

Read the information given the following pages with the utmost care. It is of fundamental importance that the protection systems are used in the correct way to guarantee the maximum possible safety level for the driver and the passengers.

For the description of the head restraint adjustment see the "Head restraints" paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle" chapter.

SEAT BELTS

All vehicle seats are equipped with seat belts with three anchor points and a retractor. The retractor mechanism operates locking the belt in the event of sharp braking or strong deceleration due to an impact.

This allows the belt strap to slide freely and to adapt to the body of the occupant. In the event of an accident, the belt will lock reducing the risk of impact inside the passenger compartment and of being projected outside the vehicle. The driver is responsible for respecting, and ensuring that all the other occupants of the vehicle also respect, the local laws in force in relation to the use of the seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts before setting off.

The seat belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the backrest.

USING THE SEAT BELTS

To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A fig. 47 and insert it into buckle B, until it clicks into place. On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.

Press button C fig. 47 to release the belt. Guide the belt while it is rewinding to prevent it from twisting. The retractor may lock when the vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the event of sudden braking, collisions and high-speed bends

69)

47 F1E0112

The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with three anchor points and a retractor. After sitting down, wear the rear seat belts as shown in fig. 48

(4-seater versions) / fig. 49 (5-seater versions).

70) 71) 72)

48 F1E0803

WARNING

69) Never press button C fig. 47 when travelling.

70) Remember that in the event of an accident, the rear seat passengers not wearing seat belts are exposed to a very serious risk and also represent a serious danger for the front seat occupants.

71) Make sure the backrest is properly secured at both sides to prevent it moving forward and causing injuries to passengers in the event of sharp braking.

72) The backrest is correctly secured when the red band next to the handles disappears. The “red band” indicates that the backrest is not secured. When returning the backrest to its normal position, make sure that it is correctly fastened and that you hear it click into place.

SBR (Seat Belt

Reminder) SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

It consists of a device that emits an acoustic warning that, along with the flashing warning light on the instrument panel, warns the driver and passenger that they have not fastened their seat belts.

To deactivate the acoustic warning permanently go to a Fiat Dealership.

With a digital display, the SBR system can be reactivated only at a Fiat

Dealership. With multifunction display, the SBR system can also be reactivated through the display Setup

Menu.

49 F1E0113

IMPORTANT When putting the back seat to its normal position, make sure the seat belts are positioned so they are ready to use.

PRE-TENSIONERS

73) 74) 75) 76) 26)

The vehicle is equipped with front seat belt pretensioners, which draw back the seat belts by several centimetres in the event of a strong frontal impact.

This guarantees the perfect adherence of the seat belts to the occupant's bodies before the retention action begins. It is evident that the pretensioners have been activated when the safety belt withdraws toward the retractor.

A slight discharge of smoke may be produced during the activation of the pretensioner which is not harmful and does not involve any fire hazard.

The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or lubrication: any changes to its original conditions will invalidate its efficiency.

If, due to unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has been affected by water and/or mud, contact a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and pelvis.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase occupant safety, the front seat belt retractors contain a load limiter to dose the force acting on the chest and shoulders during the belt restraining action in the case of frontal collisions.

GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USING THE SEAT BELTS

Seat belts are also to be worn by pregnant women: the risk of injury in the case of impact is greatly reduced for them and the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt. Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it passes over the pelvis and under the abdomen (see fig. 50). While pregnancy increases, the driver must adjust both seat and steering wheel to have full control over the vehicle (pedals and steering wheel should be easily accessed). The maximum clearance should be kept between the abdomen and the steering wheel.

50 F1E0944

The seat belt must not be twisted. The upper part must pass over the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part must adhere to the pelvis (as shown in fig. 51) rather than the abdomen of the occupant. Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to hold the seat belt away from your body.

51 F1E0116

Each seat belt must be used by only one person. Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger's lap and a single belt to protect them both (fig.

52). In general, do not place any objects between the person and the belt.

52 F1E0117

SEAT BELTS

MAINTENANCE

For keeping the seat belts in efficient conditions, carefully observe the following warnings: always use the seat belt with the strap well stretched and not twisted; make sure that it is free to run without obstructions; check seat belt operation as follows: attach the seat belt and pull it hard; replace the belt after an accident of a certain severity even if it does not appear to be damaged. Always replace the seat belt if the pretensioners were deployed. Replace the seat belt also when it shows wear or cuts; prevent the retractors from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside.

76) If the belt has been sharply pulled, for example as the result of an accident, the seat belt, together with the anchoring devices, the anchoring device fixing screws and the pretensioner must be completely replaced. Even if the belt does not present any exterior signs of wear or damage, it may have lost its restraining properties.

WARNING

26) Operations which lead to impacts, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of six hours) in the area around the pretensioner may cause damage or make it deploy. Contact a Fiat

Dealership should intervention be necessary on these components.

WARNING

73) The pretensioner may be used only once. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced after it has been deployed.

74) For maximum safety, keep the backrest upright, lean back into it and make sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts on both the front and the rear seats!

Travelling without wearing seat belts will increase the risk of serious injury and even death in the event of an accident.

75) Removing or tampering with seat belt and pretensioner components is strictly prohibited. Any intervention on these components must be performed by qualified and authorised technicians.

Always go to a Fiat Dealership.

CHILD PROTECTION

SYSTEMS

CARRYING CHILDREN

SAFELY

77) 78) 79) 80)

For optimal protection in the event of an impact, all occupants must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems, including newborn and other children! This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.

Children below the height of 1.50

metres and up to 12 years must be protected with suitable restraint systems and be seated on the rear seats.

Statistics on accidents indicate that the rear seats offer greater safety for children.

Compared with an adult, a child's head is larger and heavier in proportion to their body and the child's muscular and bone structures are not fully developed.

Therefore, correct restraint systems other than adult seat belts are necessary to reduce as much as possible the risk of injuries in the event of an accident, braking or sudden manoeuvre.

Children must be seated safely and comfortably. As far as the characteristics of the child seats used allow, you are advised to keep children in rear facing child seats for as long as possible (at least until 3–4 years old), since this is the most protected position in the event of an impact.

The choice of the most suitable child restraint system depends on the weight and size of the child. There are various types of child restraint systems, which can be secured to the vehicle by means of the seat belts or with the ISOFIX anchorages.

It is recommended to always choose the restraint system most suitable for the child; for this reason always refer to the Owner Handbook provided with the child restraint system, to be sure that it is of the right type for the children it is intended for.

In Europe the characteristics of child restraint systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into five weight groups:

Group

Group 0

Group 0+

Group 1

Weight range up to 10 kg up to 13 kg in weight

9-18 kg

Group

Group 2

Group 3

Weight range

15 - 25 kg

22 - 36 kg

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data, together with the control mark, on a label solidly fixed to the child restraint system which must never be removed.

Lineaccessori MOPAR

® includes child restraint systems for each weight group. These devices are recommended having been specifically designed for Fiat vehicles.

FITTING A UNIVERSAL

CHILD RESTRAINT

SYSTEM WITH SEAT

BELTS

81) 82) 83)

The Universal child restraint systems installed with the seat belts only are type-approved on the basis of the ECE

R44 standard and are divided into various weight groups.

IMPORTANT The figures are indicative and provided for assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included.

Group 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried with a rear facing child restraint system of a type as shown in fig. 53 which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sudden decelerations.

The child restraint system is secured by the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 53 and it must restrain the child in turn with its own belts.

Group 3

For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are boosters which allow the seat belt to be applied correctly.

The fig. 56 shows the correct child positioning on the rear seat.

54 F1E0119

In this case, the child restraint system is used to position the child correctly with respect to the seat belts so that the diagonal belt section crosses the child’s chest and never the neck, and the lower part is snug on the pelvis not the abdomen.

56 F1E0121

Children over 1.50 m in height can wear safety belts like adults.

53 F1E0118

Group 1

Children weighing from 9 to 18 kg may be transported in forward facing child restraint systems fig. 54.

Group 2

Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the vehicle seat belts directly fig. 55.

55 F1E0120

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON UNIVERSAL CHILD

(**) IMPORTANT NEVER fit a rearward-facing child seat in the front passenger seat if the airbag is active. If you wish to fit a rearward-facing child seat in the front passenger seat, first deactivate the respective airbag (see instructions in the paragraph

Supplementary protection system (SRS) – Airbag”).

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX

CHILD CARSEAT

84) 85) 86)

The car is equipped with ISOFIX anchorages, a new standard which makes fitting a child restraint system quick, simple and safe.

The ISOFIX system lets you install the

ISOFIX child restraining system without using the car seat belts but connecting them directly to the carseat with three anchors in the car. Traditional child restraint systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint systems on different seats in the same vehicle.

In order to install an ISOFIX child restraint system, secure it using the lower metal rings A fig. 57 located between the seat backrest and the rear cushion, then secure the upper belt

(provided with the child restraint system) to the anchorage B fig. 58 located behind the seat backrest, next to the child restraint system.

As an example fig. 59 shows an ISOFIX

Universal carseat for weight group 1.

IMPORTANT The fig. 59 is indicative and for assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included.

57 F1E0123

58 F1E0124

NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system is used, only ECE R44

"ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further upgrades) type-approved child restraint systems can be used.

The other weight groups are covered by specific ISOFIX child restraint systems, which can be used only if specifically tested for this vehicle (see list of vehicles provided with the child restraint system).

59 F1E0122

IMPORTANT The rear central seat (for versions where provided) and the passenger front seat are not approved for any type of Isofix child restraint system.

FCA recommends installing it using the ISOFIX anchor points of the car. It must be fitted on the rear outer seats.

Below is a summary of the main safety rules to be followed when carrying children:

Install the child restraint systems on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in a crash.

If the passenger side front airbag is deactivated, always check that the warning light on the central dashboard is on continuously, to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.

Carefully follow the instructions that come with the child seat, which the manufacturer must supply. Keep the instructions in the car along with the other documents and this handbook.

Do not use second-hand child seats without instructions.

Always pull the belt to check that the seat belt is well fastened.

Only one child is to be strapped into each restraint system; never carry two children using one child restraint system.

Always check that the seat belts do not rest on the child’s neck.

While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.

Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-one can hold a child in the case of a crash.

If the car has been involved in a road accident, replace the child restraint system with a new one. In addition, and depending on the type of child restraint system installed, replace the Isofix anchorages or the seat belt with which the child restraint system was connected.

The rear head restraint can be removed if needed to install a child restraint system. The head restraint must always be present in the vehicle and fitted if the seat is used by an adult passenger or a child sitting in a restraint system without backrest.

WARNING

77) Fit the child restraint system when the car is stationary. The child restraint system is correctly fixed to the brackets when you hear the click. Follow the instructions for assembly, disassembly and positioning that the Manufacturer must supply with the child restraint system.

78) When there is an active passenger airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front seat.

Always deactivate the passenger airbag when a rear facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.

79) On the sun visor there is a label with suitable symbols reminding the user that it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a rearward facing child restraint system is fitted. Always comply with the instructions on the passenger side sun visor (see the

“Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)

- Airbag” paragraph).

80) Do not move the front or rear seat if a child is seated on it or on the dedicated child restraint system.

81) Incorrect fitting of the child restraint system may result in an inefficient protection system. In the event of an accident the child restraint system may become loose and the child may be injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint system for newborns or children, strictly comply with the instructions provided by the Manufacturer.

82) When the child restraint system is not used, secure it with the seat belt or with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured inside the passenger compartment. This way, in the case of sudden braking or an accident, it will not cause injuries to the occupants.

83) After installing a child restraint system, do not move the seat: always remove the child restraint system before making any adjustment.

84) Always make sure that the chest section of the seat belt does not pass under the arms or behind the back of the child. In the event of an accident the seat belt will not be able to secure the child, with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.

Therefore the child must always wear the seat belt correctly.

85) Do not use the same lower anchoring to install more than one child restraint system.

86) If a Universal ISOFIX child seat system is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will not be able to protect the child correctly. In an accident, the child could be seriously or fatally injured.

SUPPLEMENTARY

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

(SRS) - AIRBAG

The car is equipped with: front driver airbag; front passenger airbag; driver side knee bag (for versions/ markets, where provided); front driver and passenger side bags for protecting the chest and pelvis (for versions/markets, where provided); side bags for protecting the heads of occupants of the front and rear seats

(window bags) (for versions/markets, where provided).

FRONT AIRBAGS

87)

The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver's knee bag (for versions/ markets, where provided) protect the front seat occupants in the event of frontal impacts of medium/high severity, by placing the bag between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.

Therefore non-activation of airbags in other types of collisions (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate a system malfunction.

Driver and passenger front airbags are not a replacement of but complementary to the seat belts, which should always be worn, as specified by law in Europe and most non-

European countries.

In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat belt are projected forwards, and may come into contact with the bag which is still inflating.

The protection offered by the bag is compromised in these circumstances.

The front airbags may not activate in the case of a frontal impact against highly deformable objects not involving the front surface of the car (e.g. wing collision against guard rail) or in the case of the car wedging under other cars or protective barriers (e.g. under trucks or guard rails).

Failure to activate in the conditions described above is due to the fact that they may not provide any additional protection compared with seat belts, so their activation would be inappropriate.

In these cases, non-deployment does not indicate a system malfunction.

The driver's and passenger's front airbags have been designed and calibrated to protect front seat occupants wearing seat belts. At their maximum inflation, their volume fills most of the space between the steering wheel and the driver and between the dashboard and the passenger. The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor frontal impacts (for which the restraining action of the seat belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always be worn. In the event of a frontal collision, they ensure the correct positioning of the occupant.

Driver's side front airbag

88)

This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special compartment in the centre of the steering wheel fig. 60.

Passenger front airbag

This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special recess in the dashboard fig. 61; this bag has a larger volume than that of the driver's.

61 F1E0126

Passenger's front airbag and child restraint systems

89) 90)

Rearward-facing child restraint systems must NEVER be fitted on the front seat with an active passenger's airbag since in the event of an impact the airbag activation may cause fatal injuries to the transported child.

ALWAYS comply with the instructions on the label stuck on the passenger side sun visor (see the figure).

62 F1E0954

Driver knee bag

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This is located in a dedicated compartment under the steering wheel fig. 63. It provides additional protection in the event of a frontal impact.

AND FRONT SIDE

AIRBAG (SIDE BAG)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

91)

If a child must be carried on the front seat in a rear-facing child restraint system, deactivate the passenger side front airbag and front side bag.

The warning light will stay on constantly until the passenger side front airbag and the front side bag are reactivated.

Airbag deactivation procedure

Proceed as follows, using the display

Setup Menu: press the MENU / button and, after the display shows the message

“Passenger bag: Off" (to deactivate) or the message "Passenger Bag: On”

(to activate) message is displayed, using the + and – buttons, press the

MENU / button again; the display shows the confirmation request message: press the + or – buttons and select "Yes" (to confirm activation/deactivation) or "No" (to abort); briefly press the MENU / button, a message confirming the selection will be displayed and you will return to the menu screen or, pressing the button for longer, you will return to the standard screen without saving.

Rotating the starting device to MAR, the warning light comes on for a few seconds. If not, contact a Fiat

Dealership.

During the first seconds, the activation of the warning light does not actually show the passenger protection status, but only tests its correct operation.

Following the check, which lasts a few seconds, if the warning light is on, it indicates passenger airbag protection status ( passenger protection deactivated : warning light on constantly / passenger protection activated : warning light off).

PASSENGER'S FRONT AIRBAG AND CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: IMPORTANT

F1E0955

SIDE BAGS

To help increase occupants protection in the event of a side impact, the car is equipped with front side bags (for versions/markets, where provided) and window bag (for versions/markets, where provided).

Side bag

(for versions/markets, where provided)

92)

These consist of two instantly inflating bags located in the front seat backrests fig. 65 that protect the chest and pelvis of the occupants in the event of a side impact of medium/high severity.

65 F1E0127

Window bag

(for versions/markets, where provided)

101)

This consists of a “curtain” bag housed behind the roof side linings and covered by special trims fig. 66. It is designed to protect the head of front and rear occupants in the event of a side collision, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.

66 F1E0128

In the event of a side impact, the system provides best protection if the passenger sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allowing correct window bag deployment.

The deployment of side bags in the event of side impacts of low severity is not required.

93) 94) 95) 96) 97) 98) 99) 100)

IMPORTANT NOTES

Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (wash by hand or at automatic seat washing stations).

The front airbags and/or side bags may be deployed in the event of sharp impacts to the underbody of the car

(e.g. impact with steps, pavements, potholes or road bumps etc.).

When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount of dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the skin and eyes however: in this case, wash with neutral soap and water.

Airbag checking, repair and replacement must be carried out at a

Fiat Dealership.

If the car is scrapped, have the airbag system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership.

Pretensioners and airbags are deployed in different ways on the basis of the type of collision. Failure to activate one or more of the devices does not indicate a system malfunction.

WARNING

87) Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area, on side upholstery on the roof or on the seats.

Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger side of the dashboard since they could interfere with correct inflation of the passenger airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.

88) Always drive with your hands on the rim of the steering wheel so that the airbag can inflate freely if required. Do not drive bent over the steering wheel, but rather sit upright with your back firmly resting against the seat back.

89) SERIOUS DANGER: When there is an active passenger airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front seat. Deployment of the airbag in a crash could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the collision. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger side airbag when a rearward facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard.

Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.

90) If, when the key is turned to MAR, the warning light does not switch on or stays on while driving, a fault may have occurred in the restraint systems. In this case the airbags or pretensioners may fail to be deployed in an impact or, in a few cases, they may be deployed accidentally.

Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

91) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, NEVER install rear-facing child restraint systems on the front seat.

Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the collision.

92) On cars with side bags, do not cover the front seat backrests with extra covers.

93) Do not travel carrying objects in your lap, in front of your chest or between your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause severe injury if the airbag is deployed.

94) If the car has been stolen or in the event of an attempt to steal it, if it has been subjected to vandalism or floods, have the airbag system checked by a Fiat

Dealership.

95) The airbags may also be deployed when the car is not moving, if the key is in the ignition and turned to MAR or when the engine is off, if the car is hit by another moving vehicle. Therefore, even if the vehicle is stationary, when an active front passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag following an impact could cause fatal injuries to the child. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger side airbag when a rearward facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed. Also remember that, if the key is turned to

STOP, none of the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners) will be deployed in the event of collision. Non-deployment in such cases does not indicate a system malfunction.

96) The warning light indicates the passenger side airbag protection status. If the warning light is off, passenger's airbag protection is active: to deactivate it, use the

Setup Menu (in this case the LED lights up). When the vehicle is started (ignition key turned to the MAR position), the warning light turns on for about 8 seconds, provided that at least 5 seconds have elapsed from when it was switched off. If not, contact a Fiat Dealership. If the vehicle is switched off/on again in less than 5 seconds, the warning light remains off. In this case, to check correct warning light operation, switch the vehicle off, wait at least 5 seconds and switch it on again.

The warning light may light up with various intensity levels depending on the vehicle conditions. The intensity may also vary during the same key cycle.

97) In some versions, in the event of a LED failure (located on the dashboard panel), the warning light on the instrument panel turns on and the passenger side airbags are deactivated.

98) During the first seconds after starting the vehicle (ignition key turned to the MAR position), the LED coming on does not show the actual passenger protection status, but is only to check that it operates correctly. After a test of a few seconds, the LED will indicate the status of the passenger airbag protection.

99) The front airbag deployment threshold is higher than that of the pretensioners.

For collisions in the range between the two thresholds, it is normal for only the pretensioners to be activated.

100) The airbag does not replace seat belts but increases their efficiency.

Because front airbags are not deployed for low-speed crashes, side collisions, rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected, in addition to any side bags, only by their seat belts, which must therefore always be fastened.

101) Never rest head, arms and elbows on the doors, on the windows and in the side air bag head protection area (Window

Bag) to prevent possible injuries during inflation phase.

102) Do not affix rigid objects to the garment hooks or support handles.

103) Never lean your head, arms or elbows out of the window.

104) The flashing warning light indicates a possible warning light failure. In this case, the warning light may not indicate a possible problem with the airbag restraint system. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Let’s get to the core of the vehicle: seeing how you can exploit all of its potential to the full.

We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any situation, so that it can be a welcome companion, with our comfort and our wallets in mind.

27) 28) 29) 30) 31) 33)

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.

VERSIONS WITH MANUAL

GEARBOX

Petrol versions (0.9 TwinAir 85

HP/0.9 TwinAir Turbo 105 HP versions excluded)

Engage the handbrake, place the gear lever in neutral and fully depress the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

0.9 TwinAir 85 HP/0.9 TwinAir Turbo

105 HP versions : after engaging the handbrake, if the gear engaged is not neutral, fully depress the clutch pedal and then turn the key to AVV, releasing it as soon as the engine is started.

Diesel versions

Engage the handbrake, put the gear lever into neutral and turn the ignition key to MAR: the and warning lights in the instrument panel will turn on. Wait for the warning lights to turn off and then fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator; turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light switches off.

Release the ignition key as soon as the engine starts.

IMPORTANT If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure. If, with the ignition key at MAR, the and warning lights (petrol and Diesel versions) stay on in the instrument panel, the ignition key must be brought back to STOP and then to MAR again. If the warning lights stay on, retry with the other keys provided. Contact a Fiat

Dealership if you still cannot start the engine. Do not leave the ignition key at

MAR when the engine is stopped.

VERSIONS WITH

DUALOGIC GEARBOX

107)

Engine starting is allowed both with a gear engaged and with the gearbox in neutral (N). However, the brake pedal must always be pressed first if neutral is not engaged. It is therefore advisable to place the gear lever in neutral (N) before starting the engine.

LPG AND NATURAL

POWER VERSIONS

32)

The engine always starts up on petrol independently of the mode previously selected.

WARNING

105) It is dangerous to run the engine in enclosed areas. The engine burns oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

106) Remember that the brake servo and power steering are not operational until the engine has been started, therefore you need to apply much more force than usual to the brake pedal and steering wheel.

107) If the engine fails to start with a gear engaged, the potentially dangerous situation due to the fact that the gearbox is automatically placed in neutral will be signalled by an acoustic signal.

WARNING

27) After a demanding drive, before turning the engine off you should allow it to idle to allow the temperature in the engine compartment to decrease.

28) If the warning light flashes for 60 seconds after starting or during an extended towing period, this indicates a problem in the glow plug preheating system. You can use the vehicle as usual if the engine starts but you should contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

29) It is advisable not to demand maximum performance from your vehicle (e.g.

excessive acceleration, long distances at maximum rpm, excessively intense braking, etc.) when it is first used.

30) When the engine is off, do not leave the key turned to MAR to prevent unnecessary electrical consumption from draining the battery.

31) Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.

32) There must therefore always be some petrol in the tank to protect the petrol pump and to guarantee temporary switching from LPG or Methane to petrol operation, if high performance is required.

33) A quick burst on the accelerator before stopping the engine serves no practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially damaging to turbocharged engines.

PARKING THE

VEHICLE

When parking and leaving the car, proceed as follows: engage a gear (1 st gear if facing uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and leave the wheels turned; stop the engine and engage the handbrake; always remove the ignition key.

Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope.

IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions equipped with Dualogic transmission, before placing the gear lever at P).

HANDBRAKE

108) 109) 110)

The handbrake lever is located between the two front seats.

67 F1E0129

Handbrake engagement : pull lever A upwards until the vehicle is braked.

Handbrake disengagement : slightly raise lever A(fig. 67) and hold button

B pressed checking that the warning light switches off in the instrument panel.

WARNING

108) Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always remove the key from the ignition device when leaving the vehicle and take it with you.

109) The vehicle should be braked after a few clicks of the lever, if it is not, contact a Fiat Dealership to have it adjusted.

110) In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a gradient, the front wheels must be steered towards the pavement

(when parking downhill), or in the opposite direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is also advisable to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.

MANUAL GEARBOX

111) 34)

To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and put the gear lever into the required position (the diagram for gear engagement is shown on the knob fig. 68).

IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be used only for gear changes. Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, however lightly. For versions/markets where provided, the electronic clutch pedal control could cut in, interpreting the incorrect driving style as a fault.

WARNING

111) Depress the clutch pedal fully to change gear correctly. It is therefore essential that there is nothing under the pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and do not get in the way of the pedals.

68 F1E0645

With 6-speed gearbox (for versions/ markets, where provided), to engage reverse R from neutral, lift the ring A fig.

68 and shift the lever to the right and back.

IMPORTANT Reverse can only be engaged when the vehicle is completely stationary. With the engine running, wait for at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully pressed before engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and grating.

WARNING

34) Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as the force exerted, even if slight, could lead over time to premature wear of the internal gearbox components.

DUALOGIC

GEARBOX

(for versions/markets, where provided)

35)

The vehicle can be equipped with an electronically controlled manual gearbox known as Dualogic which allows two operating modes: MANUAL and AUTO.

GEAR LEVER

The gear lever A fig. 69 is the multistable floating type, in other words it has three stable and three unstable positions. The three stable positions correspond to neutral (N), reverse

(R) and the central position located between the unstable positions (+) and

(-).

69 F1E0800

The unstable positions, in other words those that are abandoned as soon as the lever is released, are the positions for requesting a higher gear

(+), requesting a lower gear (–) and requesting automatic operating mode

(A/M).

IMPORTANT With the engine started, any error between the lever position and the gear actually engaged is signalled by a buzzer until consistency is restored.

MANUAL MODE

Proceed as follows: press the brake pedal and start the engine; if AUTO appears on the display, move the lever A fig. 69 to A/M to select MANUAL mode; push gear lever A towards (+) to engage first gear (if starting from N or

R, simply place the lever in the middle position) or R to engage reverse; release the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal; in driving conditions, push lever A of the gearbox towards (+) to engage the next gear up or towards (–) to engage the next gear down.

AUTOMATIC MODE

Proceed as follows: press the brake pedal; start the engine; if AUTO does not appear on the display, move the gear lever A fig. 69 to

A/M to select AUTOMATIC mode; push the gear lever towards (+) to engage 1st gear (if starting from N or R, simply place the lever in the middle position) or R to engage reverse; release the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal.

AUTO-ECO OPERATION

To activate the function press the ECO button fig. 70. The function can be activated only with automatic mode active.

70 F1E0504

With the ECO function active, the system will select the most suitable gear depending on the vehicle speed, engine rpm and intensity with which the accelerator pedal is pressed, with the aim of limiting fuel consumption.

“Kick Down” FUNCTION

(for versions/markets, where provided)

If necessary (e.g. when overtaking), the system downshifts one or more gears when the accelerator pedal is depressed beyond the point where it becomes stiff (and if the rpm allow it) in order to provide suitable power and torque for the acceleration requested by the driver.

IMPORTANT The use of the “Kick

Down” function is recommended only when overtaking or accelerating quickly, in order not to increase fuel consumption.

WARNING

35) Avoid keeping your hand on this lever except during gear change or AUTO/

MANUAL mode requests.

STOP/START

SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

112) 113) 36)

The Stop/Start system automatically stops the engine when the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the driver wants to move off, thus reducing consumption, harmful gas emissions and noise pollution.

Stopping the engine : with the vehicle stopped, the engine stops with gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal released.

NOTE The engine can only be stopped automatically after exceeding a speed of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.

Restarting the engine : press the clutch pedal to restart the engine.

MANUAL SYSTEM

ACTIVATION/

DEACTIVATION

To activate/deactivate the system manually, press the fig. 71 button.

LED off : system activated / LED on : system deactivated.

WARNING

F1E0942

112) If the battery needs to be replaced, always contact a Fiat Dealership. The replacement battery should be of the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and should have the same characteristics.

113) Before opening the bonnet, make sure that the engine is off and that the ignition key is in the STOP position. Please follow the instructions on the decal near the front crossmember. We recommend that you remove the key from the ignition if other people remain in the vehicle. Exit from the vehicle only after having removed the ignition key or having rotated it to the

STOP position. During refuelling, make sure that the engine is off and that the ignition key is in the STOP position.

WARNING

36) If climate comfort is to be favoured, the

Stop/Start system can be disabled, for a continuous operation of the climate control system.

CRUISE CONTROL

(constant speed regulator)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

114) 115)

This is an electronically controlled driving assistance device that allows the desired vehicle speed to be maintained, without having to press the accelerator pedal.

The device can be used at a speed above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry, straight roads with few variations (e.g.

motorways). It is therefore not recommended to use this device on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do not use it in town

ACTIVATING THE DEVICE

Turn ring nut A fig. 72 to the ON position. The device cannot be activated in 1st or reverse gear: it is advisable to activate the function in 4th gear or higher.

72 F1E0633

MEMORISING /

RESTORING THE

MEMORISED SPEED

Speed memorising : turn ring nut A to

ON and press the accelerator pedal so that the vehicle reaches the desired speed. Move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second, then release it: the speed is memorised and you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.

If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accelerate simply by pressing the accelerator; when you release the pedal, the vehicle goes back to the speed stored previously.

Travelling downhill with the device engaged, the vehicle speed may increase more than the memorised one.

Restoring the memorised speed : accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching the memorised speed, engage the gear selected at the time of speed memorising and finally press the B (RES) button fig. 72.

INCREASING/

DECREASING

MEMORISED SPEED

Speed increase : press the accelerator and memorise the new speed or move the stalk upwards (+), until reaching the new speed, which will be memorised automatically.

Speed decrease : deactivate the device and memorise the new speed or move the stalk downwards (-), until reaching the new speed, which will be memorised automatically.

Each movement of the stalk corresponds to an increase/decrease in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the stalk held upwards will continuously increase the speed.

DEACTIVATING THE

DEVICE

The device can be deactivated by turning the ring nut A to OFF, by switching off the engine or by pressing the brake, the clutch or the accelerator pedal; in this last case the system is not completely deactivated but gives priority to the acceleration request. The device still remains active, without the need to press the B (RES) button fig. 72 to return to the previous conditions once acceleration is concluded.

Automatic deactivation : the device deactivates automatically in the following cases: activation of the ABS or ESP system, vehicle speed below the predefined limit, Cruise Control failure.

PARKING SENSORS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

116) 37)

SENSORS

The sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 73, they detect the presence of any obstacles near the rear part of the vehicle and inform the driver, through an intermittent acoustic signal.

WARNING

114) While travelling with the device engaged, do not put the gear lever into neutral.

115) In the case of malfunctioning or if the device fails, turn ring nut to OFF and contact a Fiat Dealership.

73 F1E0624

Activation/deactivation : the sensors are automatically activated when reverse gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer, the acoustic signal becomes more frequent.

OPERATION WITH A

TRAILER

Sensor operation is automatically deactivated when the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted in the vehicle's tow hook socket. The sensors are automatically reactivated when the trailer's cable plug is removed.

IMPORTANT

INFORMATION

When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles that may be above or under the sensor.

Objects close to the vehicle are not detected under certain circumstances and could therefore cause damage to the vehicle or be damaged.

The following conditions may influence the performance of the parking assistance system: the presence of ice, snow, mud or multiple layers of paint on the surface of the sensor may reduce its sensitivity and the system performance; mechanical interference (e.g.

washing the vehicle, rain, strong wind, hail) may cause the sensor to detect a non-existent obstacle ("echo interference"); the presence of ultrasonic systems

(e.g. pneumatic brake systems of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle could alter the signals sent to the sensor; the variation in sensor position, caused by variation in ride (due to suspension or shock absorber wear), changing tyres, overloaded vehicle, or tuning that lowers the vehicle, for example, may affect parking sensor system performance;

WARNING

116) The responsibility for parking and other dangerous manoeuvres always and in every case lies with the driver. While carrying out these manoeuvres, always make sure that no people (especially children) or animals are in the area concerned. The parking sensors are an aid for the driver, but the driver must never allow their attention to lapse during potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even those executed at low speeds.

WARNING

37) The sensors must be clean of mud, dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch or damage the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The sensors must be washed using clean water, with the addition of vehicle shampoo if necessary. When using special washing equipment such as high pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly keeping the jet more than

10 cm away.

TOWING TRAILERS

117) 118)

IMPORTANT

For towing caravans or trailers the vehicle must be fitted with an approved tow hook and an adequate electrical system. Installation must be carried out by a specialist.

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.

An electric brake (or electric winch) should be supplied directly by the battery through a cable with a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm

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

Fit a suitable stabiliser to the trailer drawbar.

IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads other than external lights (electric brake, winch, etc.) must be used with engine running.

IMPORTANT To install a tow hook contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

117) The ABS with which the vehicle is equipped will not control the braking system of the trailer. Particular caution is required on slippery roads.

118) Never modify the braking system of the vehicle to control the trailer brake.

The trailer braking system must be fully independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic system.

REFUELLING THE

VEHICLE

119) 120) 121)

Always stop the engine before refuelling.

PETROL ENGINES

Only use unleaded petrol, with an octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than

95. In order to prevent damage to the catalytic converter never introduce even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even in the event of an emergency.

DIESEL ENGINES

Only use Diesel for motor vehicles

(EN590 specification). When using or parking the car for a long time in the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to refuel using locally available diesel fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.

REFUELLING

130) The space-saver wheel (for versions/markets where provided) is specific to your car, do not use it on other models, or use the space-saver wheel of other models on your car. The space-saver wheel must only be used in the event of an emergency. Never use it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed 80 km/h. On the space-saver wheel there is an orange label, summarising the main warnings regarding space-saver wheel usage restrictions.

Never remove or cover the label. The label contains the following indications in four languages: "Warning! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.! Replace with standard wheel as soon as possible. Never cover this indication." Never apply a wheel cap on a space-saver wheel.

131) Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations: hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on board should leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.

132) The vehicle's driving characteristics will be modified with the space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.

The overall duration of the space-saver wheel is of about 3000 km, after which the relevant tyre must be replaced with another one of the same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a rim designed to be used as a space-saver wheel. Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Using two or more space-saver wheels at the same time is forbidden.

Do not apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting: they could come unscrewed.

133) The jack may be used to replace wheels only on the car that it comes with or other cars of the same model. Never use the jack for other purposes, such as lifting other vehicle models. Never use it for repair operations under the vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than the one shown on its label.

134) Incorrectly fitting the wheel cap may cause it to fall off when the car is in motion.

Never tamper with the inflation valve.

Never introduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel pressure regularly, referring to the values shown in the "Technical specifications" section.

WARNING

41) Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the correct tightening of the wheel bolts checked.

INFLATION PROCEDURE

Pull the handbrake.

Unscrew the tyre valve cap, take out the filler hose

A fig. 108 and tighten the ring nut B on the tyre valve;

108 F1E0141

109 F1E0142 make sure compressor switch D fig.

109 is in the 0 (off) position, start the engine, insert the compressor plug into the nearest power socket and turn on the compressor by bringing switch

D fig. 109 to the I (on) position;

109

110 inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in the "Inflation pressure" paragraph in the "Technical specifications" section. Check the tyre pressure on pressure gauge F fig.

109 with the compressor off to obtain a more precise reading. If, after five minutes, it is still impossible to reach at least 1.8 bar, disengage the compressor from the valve and power socket, then move the vehicle forwards by approx. ten metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation. If, after this operation, you still cannot reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes from switching on the compressor, do not resume driving but contact a Fiat Dealership; after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check the tyre pressure again; engage the handbrake and park safely. If a pressure value of at least 1.8

bar is detected, restore the correct pressure (with the engine running and the handbrake engaged), resume driving and drive with great care to the nearest Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

135) Give the instruction brochure to the personnel charged with handling the tyre treated with the quick tyre repair kit.

136) Punctures on the sides of the tire may not be repaired. Do not use the kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of being used when underinflated.

137) Repairs are not possible in the case of damage to the wheel rim (bad groove distortion causing air loss). Do not remove foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the tyre.

138) Never operate the compressor for longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk of overheating. Tyres repaired with the quick tyre repair kit must only be used temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a definitive repair.

139) The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It contains latex that might cause allergic reactions. It is harmful if swallowed. Eye irritant. It may cause sensitisation if inhaled or on contact. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes. In the case of contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.

In the event that it is swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Rinse out your mouth, drink large quantities of water and seek immediate medical attention. Keep out of the reach of children. The product must not be used by asthmatics. Do not inhale the vapours during insertion and suction.

Call a doctor immediately if allergic reactions are noted. Store the bottle in its proper compartment, away from sources of heat. The sealing fluid has an expiry date. Replace the bottle if the sealant has expired.

140) Put on the protective gloves provided together with the quick tyre repair kit.

141) Apply the adhesive label where it can be easily seen by the driver as a reminder that the tyre has been treated with the quick repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.

142) If the pressure has fallen below 1.8

bar, do not drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee the correct hold because the tyre is too damaged.

Contact a Fiat Dealership.

143) Always indicate that the tyre was repaired using the quick tyre repair kit. Give the leaflet to the personnel charged with handling the tyre treated with the tyre repair kit.

WARNING

42) In the event of a puncture caused by foreign bodies, the kit may be used to repair tyres showing damage on the tread or shoulder up to max. 4 mm diameter.

WARNING

2) Dispose of the bottle and the sealant liquid properly. Have the sealing fluid and the bottle disposed of in compliance with national and local regulations.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, a jump starting can be performed using the battery and the cables of another vehicle, or using a booster battery.

IMPORTANT

When a booster battery is used, comply with the utilisation and precaution instructions specified by the producer.

Do not use the booster battery or any other source of external supply with a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the starter, the alternator and the electrical system of the vehicle could be damaged.

Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. The battery could break and explode!

PREPARATION TO JUMP

STARTING

144) 145) 43) 44)

IMPORTANT The positive terminal (+) of the battery is shielded by a protective cover. Lift the cover to access the positive terminal.

Proceed as follows: engage the handbrake, move the

Dualogic gear lever to P (Park) or, for versions with manual gearbox, to neutral and bring the ignition key to

STOP. Switch off all the other electrical devices in the vehicle; if another vehicle is ready for jump starting, park the vehicle within the reach of the cables to be used for starting, operate the handbrake and make sure that the ignition is deactivated.

IMPORTANT Avoid contact between the two vehicles since this could cause a connection to earth and may result in serious injury to any people nearby.

JUMP STARTING

PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT If the procedure below is carried out incorrectly, it can cause severe injury to people or damage the recharging system of one or both vehicles. Carefully follow the instructions given below.

Cable connection

Proceed as follows to carry out a jump starting: connect one end of the cable used for positive (+) to the positive terminal

(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;

111

112 connect the other end of the cable used for positive (+) to the positive terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery; connect one end of the cable used for negative (–) to the negative terminal

(–) of the auxiliary battery;

Connect the other end of the cable used for negative (–) to an engine earth (the visible metal part of the vehicle engine with flat battery) away from the battery and the fuel injection system; start the vehicle engine with the auxiliary battery, let it run for a few minutes at idling. Start the engine of the vehicle with flat battery.

Cable disconnection

After starting the engine, remove the cables proceeding as follows: disconnect the end of the cable used for negative (–) from the engine earth of the vehicle with flat battery; disconnect the other end of the cable used for negative (–) from the negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery; disconnect the end of the cable used for positive (+) from the positive terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery; disconnect one end of the cable used for positive (+) from the positive terminal (+) of the vehicle with flat battery.

If it is often necessary to perform a jump starting, have the vehicle battery and the recharging system checked by a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.

mobile phones, etc.) connected to the vehicle power sockets draw current even if they are not used. These devices, if left connected too much time with engine off, may cause the battery to drain with following reduction of its life and/or failure to start the engine.

WARNING

144) This procedure must be performed by qualified personnel as incorrect actions may cause high-intensity electrical discharge. Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames away from the battery. No smoking. Do not cause sparks.

145) Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings, watches, bracelets), that might cause an accidental electrical contact and cause serious injury.

WARNING

43) Do not connect the cable to the negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The following spark could lead to battery explosion and cause serious harm. Only use the specific earth point; do not use any other exposed metallic part.

44) Never use a fast battery charger to start the engine as this could damage the electronic systems of your vehicle, particularly the ignition and fuel supply control units.

FUEL CUT-OFF

SYSTEM

146)

This intervenes in the case of an impact causing: the interruption of the fuel supply with the engine consequently cutting out; the automatic unlocking of the doors; turning on of the lights inside the vehicle; the switching on of the hazard warning lights.

The intervention of the system is indicated by a message shown on the display.

IMPORTANT Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine compartment, under the vehicle or near the tank area. After an impact, turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent the battery from running down.

To restore the correct operation of the vehicle, proceed as follows: turn the ignition key to the MAR position; activate the right direction indicator and then stop it; activate the left direction indicator and then stop it; activate the right direction indicator and then stop it; activate the left direction indicator and then stop it; turn the ignition key to the STOP position and then to MAR.

LPG versions : in the event of an impact, petrol supply is immediately cut-off, the LPG safety valves are closed and the injection is interrupted, switching off the engine.

Natural Power versions : in the event of an impact, the power supply is immediately cut off, causing engine switching off.

WARNING

146) If, after an impact, you smell fuel or notice leaks from the fuel system, do not reactivate the system to avoid the risk of fire.

TOWING THE

VEHICLE

147) 148) 149) 150) 151)

ATTACHING THE TOW

RING

Manually remove cap A fig. 110 (front bumper) or A fig. 111 (rear bumper), pressing the lower part, take the tow hook B from its housing in the tool box and tighten it completely on the front or rear threaded pin.

110 F1E0626

113

114

111 F1E0625

Versions with Dualogic gearbox

Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral

(N) (checking that the vehicle moves when pushed) and proceed in the same way as for towing a normal vehicle with a manual gearbox. If the gearbox cannot be put in neutral, do not tow the vehicle and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Punto VAN version

Two tow hooks are supplied with the vehicle: one is shorter and to be used at the front, the other longer and to be used at the back.

The tow rings are arranged inside the

Fix&Go Automatic container.

WARNING

147) Before starting towing operations, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP, without extracting it. The steering column will automatically lock when the key is removed and the wheels cannot be steered.

148) Before tightening the ring clean the threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure that the tow ring is fully fastened in the housing before towing the vehicle.

149) Whilst towing, remember that since the assistance of the brake servo and the electric power steering is not available, greater force needs to be exerted on the brake pedal and more effort is required on the steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when towing and avoid jerky movements. While towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not damage any components it is touching. When towing the vehicle, you must comply with all specific traffic regulations, both in terms of the towing device and behaviour on the road. Do not start the engine while being towed.

150) The front and rear tow hooks should be used only for emergencies on the road.

You are allowed to tow the vehicle for short distances using an appropriate device in accordance with the highway code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on the road in readiness for towing or transporting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow rings MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles off the road or where there are obstacles and/or for towing operations using cables or other non-rigid devices. In compliance with the above conditions, towing must take place with the two vehicles (one towing, the other towed) aligned as much as possible along the same centre line.

151) Do not use tow hooks for securing the vehicle on ships.

SCHEDULED

SERVICING

Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a long life for the car under the best conditions. For this reason, Fiat has planned a series of checks and services at fixed distance intervals and, where provided, at fixed time intervals, as described in the

Scheduled Servicing Plan.

Before each coupon however you always need to pay attention to what is written in the Scheduled Servicing

Plan (e.g. periodically check liquid levels, tire pressure, etc.).

Scheduled Servicing is offered by all

Fiat Dealerships according to a set time schedule. If, during each operation, in addition to the ones scheduled, the need arises for further replacements or repairs, these may be carried out with the owner's explicit agreement only.

If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one scheduled servicing operation and the next should be reduced.

IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing interventions are set out by the

Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may invalidate the warranty.

It is advisable to inform a Fiat

Dealership of any small operating irregularities without waiting for the next service.

PERIODIC CHECKS

Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and if necessary, top up: engine coolant level, brake fluid level, screen washer fluid level, tyre inflation pressure and condition, lighting system operation (headlights, direction indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.), screen washer/wiper system operation and positioning/wear of windscreen/ rear window wiper blades.

Every 3,000 km, check and top up the engine oil level.

DEMANDING USE

OF THE CAR

If the vehicle is used under one of the following conditions: law enforcement

(or security services), public service

(taxi), towing a trailer or motorhome; dusty roads; short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys with sub-zero outside temperatures; engine often idling or driving long distances at low speed or long periods of inactivity, the following checks must be carried out more often than indicated in the

Service Schedule: check front disc brake pad condition and wear; check cleanliness of bonnet and luggage compartment locks, cleanliness and lubrication of linkage; visually inspect conditions of: engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/ bushes, etc.); check battery charge and battery fluid level (electrolyte); visually inspect conditions of the accessory drive belts; check and, if necessary, change engine oil and replace oil filter / pollen filter / air cleaner;

Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the engine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.

Check that the oil level is between the

MIN and MAX references on the dipstick. If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN mark, add oil via the filler fitting until the MAX mark is reached.

TwinAir Turbo 0.9 versions : on these versions the engine oil level dipstick is integral with the cap.

Take out the engine oil dipstick, clean it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.

Extract it again and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.

Engine oil consumption : the maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

During the initial period of use the engine oil consumption conditions should be considered as having stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.

IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after turning it off before you check the level.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID

154) 48)

The battery does not require the electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A periodic check carried out at a Fiat Dealership is, however, necessary to check efficiency.

IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency at start-up.

CLIMATE CONTROL

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

In winter, the climate control system must be turned on at least once a month for about 10 minutes. Before summer, have the system checked at a

Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

152) Never smoke while working in the engine compartment: gas and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.

153) Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when the engine is hot: you may get burned.

154) The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, only replace the plug with another original or the operation of the system may be adversely affected. Do not remove the reservoir plug when the engine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.

155) Do not travel with the windscreen washer fluid reservoir empty: the windscreen washer is essential for improving visibility. Some commercial windscreen washer additives are flammable. The engine compartment contains hot components which may set it on fire.

156) The brake fluid is poisonous and highly corrosive. In the event of accidental contact, immediately wash the affected parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if swallowed.

157) The symbol , on the brake fluid container indicates if a brake fluid is synthetic or mineralbased. Use of mineral type fluids will damage the special rubber seals of the braking system beyond repair.

158) Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion and fire.

159) Using the battery with insufficient fluid irreparably damages the battery and may cause an explosion.

160) If the car 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 avoid it freezing.

161) Always wear appropriate goggles when working on or near the battery.

50) Incorrect installation of electric and electronic devices may cause severe damage to your car. After purchasing your vehicle, if you wish to install any accessories (anti-theft, phone, etc.), contact a Fiat Dealership, which will suggest the most appropriate devices for your vehicle, and will, most importantly, advise you if a higher capacity battery needs to be installed.

WARNING

45) Be careful not to confuse the various types of fluids while topping up: they are not compatible with each other!

Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could severely damage your vehicle.

46) The oil level must never exceed the

MAX reference.

47) Do not add oil with specifications other than those of the oil already existing in the engine.

48) PARAFLU

UP fluid cannot be mixed with any other type of fluid. If this occurs, do not start the engine and contact your

Fiat Dealership immediately.

49) Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming into contact with painted parts. Should it happen, immediately wash with water.

BATTERY

RECHARGING

162) 163)

IMPORTANT After turning the ignition key to STOP and having closed the driver's side door, wait at least one minute before disconnecting and then reconnecting the battery electrical supply.

IMPORTANT Charging should be slow at a low ampere rating for approximately 24 hours. Charging for a longer time may damage the battery.

IMPORTANT The cables of the electrical system must be correctly reconnected to the battery, i.e. the positive cable (+) to the positive terminal and the negative cable (–) to the negative terminal. The battery terminals are marked with the positive

(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are shown on the battery cover. The battery terminals must also be corrosion-free.

IMPORTANT If a "quick-type" battery charger is used with the battery fitted on the vehicle, before connecting it disconnect both cables of the battery itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery charger to provide the starting voltage.

IMPORTANT The battery recharging procedure is given as information only.

You are advised to contact a Fiat

Dealership to have this operation carried out.

VERSIONS WITHOUT

Stop/Start SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

To recharge, proceed as follows: disconnect the terminal from the negative battery pole and connect the charger cables to the battery terminals, making sure that polarities are correct; switch on the charger and, when the recharging is finished, turn the device off before disconnecting it from the battery; reconnect the terminal to the negative battery pole.

VERSIONS WITH

Stop/Start SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

To recharge, proceed as follows: disconnect the connector B fig. 115

(pressing the button A) from the sensor

C monitoring the battery conditions, on the negative pole D of the battery; connect the positive cable of the battery charger to the positive battery pole and the negative cable to terminal

D of the negative battery pole; turn on the battery charger. When recharging is over turn the device off and, after disconnecting the charger, reconnect connector B to sensor C.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT

THE ROTATION OF THE

TYRES

The front and rear tyres are subject to different loads and stress due to steering, manoeuvres and braking. For this reason they are subject to uneven wear.

To resolve this problem, tyres should be rotated at the appropriate time. This operation is recommended for tyres with a deep tread pattern, suitable both for on-road and off-road driving.

Tyre rotation contributes to the preservation of the grip and traction performance on wet, muddy or snowy roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability of the vehicle.

In the case of irregular wear of the tyres, the reason must be identified and corrected before rotating them.

52) Take care not to damage the side skirts when lifting the vehicle with the workshop lift (for versions where provided).

WARNING

166) Do not cross switch the tyres if they are "unidirectional" type. In this case, always take care not to fit the tyres with a direction of rotation that is opposite to that indicated: you would risk losing grip and control of the vehicle.

WARNING

53) Road holding depends also on the correct tyre inflating pressure.

54) If the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage.

55) Do not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the vehicle to the left and vice versa.

56) Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the use of temperatures exceeding 150°C. The mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)

When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold. With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.

When running at speeds over 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full-load pressures. With the iTPMS, the inflation pressure should be

+ 0.1 compared with the prescribed figure. The iTPMS is not fitted with 175/65 R15 84T tyres.

Important notes

The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations of each country. In certain countries, tyres marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow) are considered as winter equipment; therefore their use is equivalent to that of the snow chains.

The snow chains may be applied only to the front wheel tyres. Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been driven.

Using snow chains with tyres with non-original dimensions may damage the vehicle.

143

144

Using different size/type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and rear axle may adversely affect vehicle driveability, with the risk of losing control of the vehicle and resulting accidents.

Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel (where provided). If a front tyre is punctured, replace a rear wheel with the space-saver wheel and move the rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two normal drive wheels at the front, snow chains can be fitted.

WARNING

167) The maximum speed for snow tyres marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The highway code speed limits must however always be complied with.

168) Snow chains can only be fitted on 15" tyres. Use compact 9 mm snow chains.

169) 16” and 18” tyres cannot be fitted with chains.

170) Keep the vehicle's speed down when snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or pavements and do not drive long distances over roads without snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle and the road surface.

171) DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with Rim

Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.

WARNING

57) With snow chains, use the accelerator with extreme care to prevent/limit slipping of the drive wheels as much as possible, as it could break the chains resulting in damage to the car body or mechanical components.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific European Directives.

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, condition of the car, trim level/equipment/ accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured. The fuel consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.

FUEL CONSUMPTION ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE (litres/100 km)

NOTE The consumption of the Natural Power versions (when running on methane) is expressed in m

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF

ITS LIFE

(for versions/markets, where provided)

FCA has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-compatible". To grant customers the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, FCA is offering its customers the chance to hand over their vehicle at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs. The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over, the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value.

To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships if you are purchasing another vehicle or an FCA-authorised collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.

You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an FCA dealership or by calling the number in the Warranty Booklet or by consulting the websites of the various FCA brands.

RADIO

172) 173)

The radio has been designed according to the specifications of the passenger compartment, with a personalised design matching the style of the dashboard perfectly.

TIPS

Road safety

Please, learn how to use all different radio functions (e.g. save stations) before beginning to drive.

Care and maintenance

Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth. Cleaning and polishing products may damage the surface.

ANTITHEFT PROTECTION

The radio is equipped with an anti-theft protection system based on the exchange of information between the radio and the electronic control unit

(Body Computer) present on the vehicle. This system guarantees maximum safety and prevents the secret code from being entered each time the radio power supply is disconnected.

If the check has a positive outcome, the radio will start to function, whereas if the comparison codes are not the same or if the electronic control unit

(Body Computer) is replaced, the device will ask the user to enter the secret code according to the procedure described in the paragraph below.

Entering the secret code

When the radio is switched on, if the password is requested, the display will show "Radio code" for about 2 seconds, followed by four dashes "- - -

-".

The secret code is made up of four digits from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one of the dashes.

To enter the first digit, press the corresponding button of the preset stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other code digits in the same way. If the four digits are not entered within 20 seconds, the display will show "Enter code - - - -". If this occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code entry.

After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds), the radio will work.

If an incorrect code is entered, the radio will emit a sound and the display shows the text "Radio blocked/wait" to notify the user of the need to enter the correct code.

Each time the user enters an incorrect code, the waiting time will gradually increase (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h) up to a maximum of 24 hours. The waiting time will be shown on the display with the text "Radio blocked/ wait". After the text has disappeared it is possible to start the code entering procedure again.

Vehicle radio passport

This document certifies the ownership of the vehicle radio. The radio passport shows the radio model, serial number and secret code.

IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in a safe place so that you can give the information to the relevant authorities if the radio is stolen.

In the case of loss of the vehicle radio passport, contact the Fiat Dealership, taking an ID document and the vehicle ownership documents.

INTRODUCTION

Fiat Blue&Me™ , based on Microsoft

Auto™ , features hands-free, SMS message reader and Media Player functions. The Blue&Me™ system is completely integrated with voice commands, buttons on the steering wheel and display to facilitate operation without distracting the driver from the road or requiring them to take their hands off the steering wheel.

HANDS-FREE FUNCTION

QUICK GUIDE

To start using the hands-free function with voice recognition and Bluetooth ® technology provided by Blue&Me™ : make sure that the ignition key is at

MAR, practise the voice commands, pair your mobile phone and make a call.

Preparing your mobile phone phonebook

Before pairing your mobile phone with

Blue&Me™ , you must make sure you have stored the names you want to contact in the phonebook on your mobile phone so that you can call them using the vehicle's hands-free system.

If your phonebook does not contain any names, enter new names for the most frequently used numbers. For further details, consult your mobile phone manual.

IMPORTANT

Access to the phonebook copied to

Blue&Me™ is possible only when the mobile phone from which it was copied is connected.

Entries stored in the SIM card or mobile phone memory can be transferred to Blue&Me™ with different procedures, depending on your mobile phone model.

Getting to know the voice commands

When talking to the system, you can always use the voice command " Help ", to obtain detailed instructions on the voice commands available for each stage of interaction.

To practise the " Help " command proceed as follows:

Press the steering wheel control and after Blue&Me™ has emitted an acoustic signal to indicate that voice recognition is active, say " Help ".

Blue&Me™ will give the list of voice commands available.

At the end of the help message, say

" Settings " and, at the end of the message, " Help ".

Blue&Me™ will give the list of voice commands available for the Settings menu.

You can now give one of the available commands and proceed with the dialogue as you wish. If you need further help press and say " Help ".

Pairing your mobile phone

IMPORTANT This operation should be carried out only with the vehicle stationary.

To pair your mobile phone, proceed as follows:

Press and say " Settings " and then, at the end of the message from

Blue&Me™ , say " User pairing ".

The system will show a code number

(PIN) on the instrument panel display, which is used for the pairing procedure.

For the two subsequent stages, consult your mobile phone manual.

Look for devices with Bluetooth ® technology on your mobile phone (the setting on your mobile phone could be called " Search " or " New Device ").

Find “ Blue&Me ” in this list (the name that identifies the Blue&Me ™ system in your vehicle) and select it.

When prompted, enter the PIN code displayed using your mobile phone keypad. If pairing is successful, the system will say " Connecting " and at the end the display will show, as confirmation, the ID of the paired mobile phone.

It is important to wait for this confirmation message; if you press

/ MENU or / before it appears, you risk cancelling the pairing process. If the pairing process fails, an error message will be displayed and the pairing procedure will have to be repeated.

After pairing your mobile phone, the first time you connect, Blue&Me™ will say " Welcome ". This message will no longer be heard at subsequent pairing or connecting procedures.

Blue&Me™ asks you if you want to copy the phonebook of the mobile phone just paired onto the Blue&Me™ system. You are advised to copy it. To proceed with copying, say " Yes "; if you do not want to copy the phonebook, say " No ". On some mobile phones, the names in the phonebook are not copied automatically, but have to be transferred by using the mobile phone keypad. If Blue&Me™ asks you, carry out this procedure by following the specific instructions on your mobile phone and press / MENU when you have finished.

Making a phone call

Imagine that "John" is one of the names saved in your phonebook.

To call "John", press the steering wheel control and say " Call John ": if the system recognises the name

"John", it will display the information regarding it.

If there is just one phone number for

John in your phonebook, the system will ask if you would like to call John. To make the call, say " Yes "; otherwise, say " No ".

If, on the other hand, there are several phone numbers for John, the system will ask which one you wish to call (e.g.

" Call John work or home?

").

Respond by indicating which number you want to call (e.g. " Home ").

If John has several phone numbers but the type of phone number is missing, the system will display the selected contact and a list of related phone numbers. The hands-free system will ask if you would like to call the phone number displayed. If the number displayed is the one you wish to call, say " Yes "; otherwise, say “ No ". If the person to contact is the correct one, but the number is wrong, say

" Forward " or " Back " to see the other phone numbers for this person.

To call the number displayed, say

" Call ". You can also navigate through this list manually by pressing the / controls on the steering wheel until you find the desired number. At this point, press / MENU or SRC/OK to make the call.

Ending a phone call : press

/ MENU .

SMS MESSAGE READER

QUICK GUIDE

(only for mobile phones which support this function)

If your Bluetooth ® phone supports this function, when you receive a new

SMS message, Blue&Me™ alerts you with an acoustic signal and asks you whether you want to read it.

Say " Yes " or press the / MENU or SRC/OK button: the system will read the last message received.

Say " No " or press the / button: the system will store the message so you can read it another time.

MEDIA PLAYER QUICK

Blue&Me™ will automatically start to play your digital tracks, selecting them from a library that is created when you connect the USB device. The time required by

Blue&Me™ to recognise your USB device and start playback may depend on the type of device, its capacity and its contents.

After Blue&Me™ has created a library of your digital audio files, you can select and listen to tracks, albums, artists and playlists, using manual or vocal interaction with Blue&Me™ .

Creating the library may require a few minutes if your USB device contains many files. You can also decide whether to play audio files automatically when the USB/iPod device is connected or to play them only on your command.

WARNING

174) Using some of the system functions whilst driving can distract attention away from the road, risking an accident or other serious consequences; they should therefore be used only when driving conditions allow and, if necessary, only with the vehicle stationary.

175) IMPORTANT Looking at the system when driving can divert attention from the road, with the risk of accidents or other serious consequences. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally

(using the manual controls) while driving.

Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before carrying out these operations. This is important since while setting up or changing some functions your attention may be distracted from the road and you may have to remove your hands from the wheel.

176) Voice commands: the system functions can be carried out using only voice commands. The use of voice control commands when driving allows the system to be managed without taking your hands off the steering wheel.

177) Looking at the display for a long time: while driving, do not use any function that requires looking at the display for a long time. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system that requires prolonged attention. Even occasional short glances at the display may be hazardous if your attention is diverted from driving at a critical moment.

178) Setting the volume: do not turn the volume up too high. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving.

Driving without being able to hear these sounds can cause accidents.

179) Using the voice recognition: the voice recognition software is based on a statistical process that is subject to error. It is your responsibility to monitor the system's voice recognition functions and to correct any errors.

180) Danger of distraction: the functions may require manual settings (not using voice commands). Performing these settings or entering data when driving can distract you significantly, causing accidents or having other serious consequences.

Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING

INTERIOR FITTINGS

Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure the passenger in the event of a crash.

The cigar lighter gets very hot. Handle it with caution and do not allow it to be used by children to avoid the risk of fire or burns. Always check that the cigar lighter has switched off.

ROOF RACK/SKI RACK

After travelling for a short distance, check that the fixing screws for the attachments are correctly tightened.

Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").

Evenly distribute the load and take into account, when driving, the increased responsiveness of the vehicle to side wind.

WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM

If you wish to have a sound system installed after purchasing the vehicle, first contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel will give you advise about a sound system that does not damage the battery charge. Excessive absorption will drain and damage the battery and may invalidate the battery warranty.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

During normal service, the catalytic converter and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not therefore park the vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.

INTERIORS

Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges which are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.

Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.

SUPPLY

Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

LOADING ADVICE (Punto VAN versions)

Abrupt braking or occasional impacts may cause sudden movements of the load with consequent situations of hazard for the driver and passengers: before setting off, secure the load tightly using the partition. For securing use cables, ropes or belts strong enough to hold the items to be secured.

WARNING

ROOF RACK/SKI RACK

Fully comply with the regulations in force concerning maximum clearance.

WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM

For connection to the radio system set-up, contact a Fiat Dealership to prevent any problem that could impair vehicle safety.

BODYWORK

In order to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the paint abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the vehicle.

Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the vehicle. Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle under trees; remove vegetable resins immediately as, when dried, it may only be possible to remove them with abrasive products and/or polishes, which is highly inadvisable as they could alter the typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not use pure screen washer fluid for cleaning the windscreen and rear window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen washer fluid when strictly necessary due to outside temperature conditions.

INTERIORS

Never use alcohol, petrols and derivatives to clean the dashboard and instrument panel lens.

WARNING

BODYWORK

Detergents pollute the environment. Only wash your vehicle in areas equipped to collect and treat wastewater from this type of activity.
