Summary of Content
Dear Customer, We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing the Fiat New 500. We have written this handbook to help you get familiar with all the features of your car. Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your car and how to achieve the best performance from the technical features of your Fiat New 500. You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls; at the same time, you can understand the car behaviour on different road surfaces. This document contains specifications, special procedures and essential information for caring for and maintaining your Fiat New 500 over time, driving it safely and running it correctly. After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the car, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on board the car should it be sold. In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity. We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new car and the service provided by the people at Fiat. Enjoy reading. Happy driving! ATTENTION All the versions of the Fiat New 500 are described in this Owner Handbook. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim level, motor and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording (where provided). All data contained in this publication are purely indicative. FCA Italy S.p.A. can modify the specifications of the car model described in this publication at any time, for technical or marketing purposes. For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION! STARTING THE ENGINE With the transmission in position P (Park), when the ignition device is brought to the ENGINE position, an acoustic warning is emitted and the message "READY" appears on the instrument panel display to indicate that the electric traction system of the the New 500 has started. The New 500 is now ready to go. ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the 12V battery), contact a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car's electric system can support the required load. SCHEDULED SERVICING Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come. USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Each time an instruction is given that concerns direction (left/right or forward/backward), it is written to be read from the perspective of an occupant in the driver's seat. If a direction is written from a different perspective, it will be specified as such in the text as appropriate. 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 car. 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. The sections 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 section order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the current section at the side of each even page. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your car. There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the car, which could cause accidents or injuries. Therefore, all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS must always be carefully followed. WARNINGS and CAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols: personal safety; car 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 chapter. SYMBOLS Some car components have coloured labels with symbols indicating precautions to be observed when using this component. CHANGES/ALTERATIONS TO THE CAR WARNING Any change or alteration of the car might seriously affect its safety and road grip, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured. WARNING The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the car in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health. ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER If after buying the car, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat Dealership, whose personnel will check whether the car's electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful 12V battery. WARNING Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.). INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the car in the context of after-sales service must carry the following label . FCA Italy S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised centre, in a workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications. WARNING Traffic police may not allow the car on the road if devices have been installed which modify the features of the car. This may also cause invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it. FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by Fiat and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions. RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES Radio transmitter equipment (car mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof. Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body. As far as the use of ECapproved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer. WARNING The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the car in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.

Unlike conventional or hybrid cars, there is no internal combustion engine in this car. The New 500 uses the electrical energy stored in the high-voltage battery and not fuel. This battery provides the energy needed to start moving and therefore needs to be recharged before use. If the high-voltage battery is completely flat the car will not start. This car also has a 12V battery of the same type as those used by cars with internal combustion engines. If the 12V battery is completely flat the car will not start. The 12V battery supplies power to the conventional electrical system: lights, windscreen wipers, restraint systems (airbags and pretensioners), sound system, etc. The high-voltage battery supplies power to the electric motor and supplies the high-voltage auxiliary devices (heaters, electric climate compressor, etc.). The electronic converter that powers the 12V system for general car operation is also powered by the high-voltage battery and also recharges the 12V battery. The battery is charged by connecting the charging socket of the car to the mains power supply using the charging cable. The battery is charged by connecting the charging socket of the car to the mains power supply using the charging cable. The high-voltage battery is also partially recharged while driving during deceleration or braking. During this steps, the battery is recharged by regeneration via the electric motor. This is an efficient way of recharging as the kinetic energy of the car is used and converted into electric charging energy. Electric cars have specific characteristics of use, which is useful to know, in order to achieve optimal performance. This car respects the environment because it does not emit exhaust gases and therefore has zero CO2 emissions. 15 KNOWING YOUR CAR FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM OF THE CAR A E B D C 5 F0S1050 A.

Voltage converter 16 HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY The high-voltage battery is located at the bottom of the vehicle in a central area and is maintenance-free. A while in the smaller version the voltage is 395V. The high-voltage battery is equipped with conditioning systems that ensure that it operates under the best temperature conditions appropriate to its operation. 1) The car is equipped with a safety device that inhibits the activation of the high-voltage system. This device is normally used by Fiat Dealerships to repair and service the car. A 1) 6 F0S1069 2) 3) 4) 1) 2) A. High-voltage wires The high-voltage battery is lithium-ion. Lithium-ion batteries provide the following benefits: are much lighter than other types of chargeable batteries of the same size; keep the charge longer; have no memory, i.e. it is not necessary to discharge them completely before recharging, as is the case with other types of batteries; can be recharged and discharged, charging times vary depending on home or public charging mode and power. The high-voltage battery of the New 500 in the larger version (with more energy) has a nominal voltage of 350V, HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY DISPOSAL The high-voltage battery is designed to last for the lifetime of the car. If it is necessary to replace the battery, please contact a Fiat Dealership for information on disposal. NOTE The car is provided with a high-voltage lithium-ion battery. Inappropriate disposal of this type of battery carries a risk of serious burns, electric shock and damage to the environment. In accordance with national and international battery regulations, FCA guarantees an adequate collection of this component in cooperation with qualified operators for the proper handling of the batteries to be disposed of. GENERAL INFORMATION The car is also equipped with a battery management system designed to: ensure safe operation optimise driving range optimise the working life of the highvoltage battery NOTE You can hear a click from inside the car when the car is starting and switching it off. When the ignition device is in the ENGINE position, the high-voltage battery contactors are closed to allow the distribution of the accumulated electricity to use the car. This typical sound is the noise of these contactors opening and closing and is normal for the car. If the temperature of the high-voltage battery is below -10°C, or above 40°C, some car functions may change or turn off as battery performance decreases outside this temperature range. OPERATING MODE As with a car with automatic transmission, you must get used to not using your left foot to activate the clutch pedal which is not present. While driving, when you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal or when you press the brake pedal during deceleration, the motor generates electric current 17 KNOWING YOUR CAR 18 which is used to brake the car and recharge the high-voltage battery. Refer to the "eBraking mode" chapter in the "Starting and driving" section. Special case: after the high-voltage battery has been fully recharged and during the first kilometres of use of the car, the exhaust brake is in a temporary condition of reduced effectiveness. Adapt your driving accordingly. 5) 6) 7) While driving, you can activate the selector (A) fig. 7 located on the central tunnel. This device allows you to set three different driving modes according to the driver's needs: NORMAL RANGE SHERPA Via the on board electronics, the device acts on the dynamic control system of the car (motor, ESC system), interfacing the instrument panel as well. The selector is of "hold to operate" type, returning to the central position when released. Engagement of the required driving mode is indicated on the instrument panel display with a dedicated message. The system does not allow you to change the driving mode when you drastically reduce the performance of the electric motor (see paragraph on performance limitations). When the motor is started, the system usually maintains the driving mode that was active before the car was stopped. The standard operating mode is "NORMAL". Pull and release the selector once to activate "RANGE" mode. Pulling and releasing the selector switch a second time activates the "SHERPA" mode. To return to "RANGE" mode, push the switch towards the dashboard and release it once, to return to "NORMAL" mode, push and release it a second time. Driving mode selection is not available in "Performance limitation - Turtle mode". 7 F0S1088 "NORMAL" mode In the "NORMAL" operating mode, the car has no performance limitations and can be driven fast using all the power and torque of the traction system. In this mode, the energy consumption of the car depends on the driving style. In "NORMAL" mode, when the accelerator pedal is released, the car slows down with an motor braking effect similar to that of a conventional vehicle. During this phase, the highvoltage battery is partially recharged (regeneration). In "NORMAL", when the one-speed transmission is on D, to keep the car stationary press the brake pedal ("One Pedal Driving" not available). The "creeping" function is also available. The car will start to move forward (with transmission in "D") or backward (with transmission in "R") when the brake pedal is released. The accelerator should not be pressed in this case. "RANGE" mode In "RANGE" mode, the car continues to have no speed restrictions but offers comfortable handling with a smoother response to accelerator pedal pressure. This mode helps to adopt a driving style aimed at maximising the range. WARNING The "One-Pedal Driving" function is enabled on the accelerator pedal in "RANGE" mode. In this case, the car can be accelerated, decelerated and stopped by acting only on the accelerator pedal. See the "One Pedal Driving" chapter in the "Starting the motor" section. NOTE The "creeping" function is not available in "RANGE" mode. NOTE When "One Pedal Driving" with one-speed transmission in D is active and the car is stationary, it is not necessary to press the brake pedal to hold it stationary. In "RANGE" mode, by fully depressing the accelerator pedal, you can override the mode limitations and temporarily return to "NORMAL" mode. "SHERPA" mode In "SHERPA" mode, the car has no acceleration restriction but the top speed is electronically limited to 80km/h. "SHERPA' mode significantly helps to adopt a driving style aimed at maximum efficiency and maximises the range of the car. The climate control system and seat heaters are also automatically deactivated but can be manually reactivated if necessary. WARNING The "One-Pedal Driving" function is enabled on the accelerator pedal in "SHERPA" mode. In this case, the car can be accelerated, decelerated and stopped by acting only on the accelerator pedal. NOTE The "creeping" function is not available in "SHERPA" mode. NOTE When "One Pedal Driving" with one-speed transmission in D is active and the car is stationary, it is not necessary to press the brake pedal to hold it stationary. NOTE Even if "One Pedal Driving" is active, the brake system operated by the brake pedal works normally. In "SHERPA" mode, by fully depressing the accelerator pedal, the operating mode is temporarily returned (e.g. to make an overtaking manoeuvre) to "NORMAL". When "SHERPA" mode is activated, the heated seats will be turned off if turned on. To turn them on again, you must act on the activation command. NOTE If the climate control system or heated seats are activated in "SHERPA" mode, a dedicated message appears on the instrument panel to alert the user that these functions have an impact on battery life. Performance limitation Turtle mode "Turtle" mode is activated automatically when the remaining range is less than 24 km, but can be temporarily deactivated in case of emergency (for example to clear a junction) by quickly depressing the accelerator pedal fully (kick-down function). Range: 24-16 km Amber high-voltage battery charge status indicator, symbol on the instrument panel display lit for 6 seconds. Speed according to the selected mode (NORMAL, RANGE, SHERPA). The heated rear window, windscreen, mirrors and seats are deactivated automatically (but can be reactivated manually if necessary). Range: 16-8 km Red high-voltage battery charge status indicator, symbol on the instrument panel display lit fixed. Speed according to the selected mode (NORMAL, RANGE, SHERPA). The heated rear window, windscreen, mirrors and seats are deactivated automatically (but can be reactivated manually if necessary). Range: 8-0 km Red high-voltage battery charge status indicator, symbol on the instrument panel display lit fixed. 19 KNOWING YOUR CAR Top speed: 70 km/h. The climate control system is deactivated, and the fan and quick defrosting may be activated. The heated rear window, windscreen, mirrors and seats are deactivated automatically (but can be reactivated manually if necessary). Range: ≈0 km (emergency conditions) Red high-voltage battery charge status indicator, symbol on the instrument panel display blinking. Top speed: 70 km/h. The climate control system is deactivated, and the fan and quick defrosting may be activated. The heated rear window, windscreen, mirrors and seats are deactivated automatically (but can be reactivated manually if necessary). NOTE Turtle mode speed limits are disabled when the Speed Limiter or Cruise Control is active. WARNING 1) The propulsion system of the electric car is connected by the high-voltage battery and when the system is active the components are then powered at highvoltage. Observe the warning messages on the labels on the car when accessing the motor compartment. Any intervention 20 or modification on the high-voltage electrical system of the car (components, cables, connectors, high-voltage battery) is strictly forbidden due to the risks it may imply for your safety. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership. Tampering with the high-voltage system can lead to serious burns or electrical discharges with even fatal consequences. 2) Do not resell, give away or modify the high-voltage battery. The high-voltage battery must only be used on the car on which it is supplied. If used outside the car or modified, accidents such as electric shock, heat or smoke generation, explosion or electrolyte leakage may occur. 3) If the car is scrapped without removing the high-voltage battery, contact with high-voltage components, cables and connectors could cause very dangerous electric shock. 4) If the high-voltage battery is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock, resulting in serious injury or death. 5) Under no circumstances may the motor brake replace pressing the brake pedal. 6) In case of bad weather and flooded roads: Do not drive on a flooded street if the water level exceeds the lower part of the wheel rims. 7) Due to the quiet operation of your electric car, always set the speed selector switch to P and engage the electric parking brake and stop the motor before leaving the car. DANGER OF SERIOUS INJURY. IMPORTANT 1) The high-voltage battery may only be disconnected by qualified personnel at a Fiat Dealership. IMPORTANT 1) Do not dispose of the battery yourself. If the car is scrapped, it must be taken to a Fiat Dealership to have the high-voltage battery removed and disposed of properly by the Fiat Dealership personnel who have the technical skills to operate in complete safety. 2) Live parts of the car are marked with safety warning labels. The high-voltage battery bears a label indicating this danger.

The reference temperature is 22°C for optimal comfort management. The automatically controlled parameters and functions are: air temperature at the driver/front passenger side vents; air distribution at the driver/front passenger side vents; fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow); compressor engagement (for cooling/dehumidifying the air); air recirculation. All these functions can be adjusted manually by operating the system and selecting one or more functions and modifying their parameters. Manual selections always have higher priority than automatic settings and are stored until the AUTO button is pressed, except for cases in which the system intervenes for safety reasons. The following operations do not deactivate the AUTO function: recirculation on/off; compressor on/off, compatibly with environmental conditions; variation of set temperature; heated rear window activation/deactivation. The amount of air introduced into the passenger compartment is not affected by car speed; it is electronically controlled by a fan. The temperature of the air sent is always automatically controlled according to the temperature set on the display (except for when the system is off or in certain conditions when the compressor is not running). The system allows the following to be set or adjusted manually: air temperature; fan speed has 7 positions; air distribution; compressor enabling; rapid defrosting/ demisting function; air recirculation; heated rear window; system deactivation. Operating mode The climate control system can be activated in different ways: it is advisable to press the AUTO button and press the button (A) fig. 51 to set the desired temperatures. In this way the system operates completely automatically to adjust the temperature, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into the passenger compartment. It also manages the air recirculation system and the enabling the air conditioning compressor. During automatic operation, you can change the set temperatures, activate/deactivate the rear window, activate/deactivate the compressor and the recirculation at any time by using the relevant buttons; the system will automatically change the settings to adjust to the new requirements. In this way the climate control system will continue to automatically manage all functions except for those that have been manually adjusted. The fan speed is the same in all the zones of the passenger compartment. Air temperature adjustment Press the (A) fig. 51button: press downwards: decrease temperature; press upwards: temperature rise.

These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information in this section in the event of a failure indication. WARNING The failure indicators appearing on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter duration. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated. WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL Red warning lights Warning light What it means SEAT BELTS REMINDER The warning light switches on constantly with the car stationary and the driver's side or passenger side seat belt (when the passenger is present) not fastened. The warning light will flash and a buzzer will sound if the car is in motion and the front seat belts are not correctly fastened. For permanent deactivation of the acoustic signal (buzzer) of the SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system contact a Fiat Dealership. The system can be reactivated at any time using the Setup Menu. AIRBAG FAILURE The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to the ENGINE position, but it should switch off after a few seconds.

On some versions the display shows the dedicated message. 46) 85 KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL Warning light What it means Electric parking brake on The warning light switches on when the parking brake is engaged. On certain versions, if the car is moving the acoustic warning will also sound. WARNING If the warning light turns on while driving, check that the parking brake is not engaged. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to the ENGINE position, but it should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light stays on, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, you may not have power steering and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be notably increased; steering is, however, possible. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership. If the warning light switches on while driving (on some versions, together with a dedicated message on the display) you may not have steering assistance. Although it will still be possible to steer the vehicle, the effort needed to operate the steering wheel could be increased: contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. WARNING In some circumstances, factors independent of the electric power steering could cause the warning light on the instrument panel to switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately (if you are moving), stop the motor for about 20 seconds (taking the ignition device to the STOP position) and then restart the motor ("READY" status). If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership. WARNING The steering must be initialised after disconnecting the 12V battery. The warning light turns on to indicate this. To carry out this procedure, slowly turn the steering wheel all the way from one end to the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres. Amber warning lights Warning light What it means ESC SYSTEM The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to the ENGINE position, but it should switch off after a few seconds.

REAR FOG LIGHT The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is turned on. ABS FAILURE The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to the ENGINE position, but it should switch off after a few seconds. The warning light comes on, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, when the system is inefficient or not available. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system. Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. iTPMS (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 optical electrical energy 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 car are restored, carry out the Tyre reset procedure. WARNING Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling of the car may be compromised. Stop the car, avoiding sharp braking and steering. 87 KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL Warning light What it means 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.

In this case the airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may be deployed accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked. 45) A failure of the warning light is indicated by the symbol appearing on the display or by the warning light blinking, depending on the version. In this case, the warning light may not indicate a possible problem with the airbag restraint system. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked. 46) If the warning light turns on when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display) stop the vehicle immediately and contact Fiat Dealership. 47) If the system signals a pressure drop on a specific tyre, it is recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres. The iTPMS does not relieve the driver from the obligation to check the tyre pressure every month; it is not to be considered a system to replace servicing or a safety system. 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. 48) The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (for example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the car, braking with caution and avoiding abrupt steering. The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not able to inflate them. Insufficient tyre inflation increases electrical energy consumption, reduces the tread duration and may affect your ability to drive safely. 89 KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING SYMBOLS Red Symbols Symbol What it means DOORS/BONNET/BOOT OPEN The symbols on the display switches on, together with a dedicated message, on some versions, when one or more doors, the tailgate or the bonnet are not properly closed.

SAFETY The chapter that you are about to read is very important: it describes the safety systems with which the car is equipped and provides instructions on how to use them correctly. ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS ......... DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS ................................. OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS ................................. SEAT BELTS ............................. SBR (SEAT BELT REMINDER) SYSTEM ................................... PRE-TENSIONERS..................... CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS ..... SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) - AIRBAG ............ 100 104 114 114 115 116 118 129 99 SAFETY ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS The car has the following active safety systems: ABS (Anti-lock Braking System); DTC (Drag Torque Control); ESC (Electronic Stability Control); TC (Traction Control); PBA (Panic Brake Assist); HSA (Hill Start Assist); ERM (Electronic Rollover Mitigation); Hold 'n'Go For the operation of the systems, see the following pages. 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 car can be controlled even during emergency braking and optimising stopping distances. The system intervenes during braking when the wheels are about to lock, typically in emergency braking or lowgrip conditions, when locking may be more frequent. The system also improves control and stability of the car when braking on a 100 surface where the grip of the left and right wheels varies, or on corners. The Electronic Braking Force Distribution (EBD) system completes the system allowing the brake force to be distributed between the front and rear wheels. System intervention A slight pulsing of the brake pedal and noise indicates the intervention of the ABS: this is completely normal when the system intervenes. 51) 52) 53) 54) 55) 56) DTC (Drag Torque Control) SYSTEM The DTC (Drag Torque Control) system prevents the drive wheels from possibly locking, which could happen, for example, if the accelerator pedal is released suddenly in conditions of poor grip. In this conditions, the exhaust braking effect could cause the drive wheels to slip, resulting in a loss of stability of the car. In these situations, the DTC system intervenes, restoring torque to the motor in order to conserve car stability and increase car safety. ESC (Electronic Stability Control) SYSTEM The ESC system improves the directional control and stability of the car in various driving conditions. The ESC system corrects the car’s understeer and oversteer, distributing the brake force on the appropriate wheels. The torque supplied by the motor can also be reduced in order to maintain control of the car. The ESC system uses sensors installed on the car to determine the trajectory that the driver intends to follow and compares it with the car’s effective trajectory. When the real trajectory deviates from the desired trajectory, the ESC system intervenes to counter the car’s understeer or oversteer. Oversteer: occurs when the car is turning more than it should with respect to the angle of the steering wheel and the rear wheels lose grip. Understeer: occurs when the car is turning less than it should with respect to the angle of the steering wheel and the front wheels lose grip. System intervention The system intervention is signalled by the blinking of the instrument panel warning light , to inform the driver that the car is in critical stability and grip conditions. 57) 58) 59) 60) 61) TC (Traction Control) SYSTEM The system automatically operates in the event of slipping, loss of grip on wet roads (aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy roads, etc. on one or both drive wheels. Depending on the slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated: if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the system intervenes, reducing the power transmitted by the motor; if the slipping only involves one of the drive wheels, the BLD (Brake Limited Differential) function is activated, automatically braking the wheel which is slipping (the behaviour of a self-locking differential is simulated). This will increase the drive torque transferred to the wheel that is not slipping. This function remains active even if the "Systems partially disabled" and "Systems disabled" modes are selected (see description in the following pages). that the car is in critical stability and grip conditions. System intervention The system intervention is signalled by the blinking of the instrument panel warning light , to inform the driver HSA (Hill Start Assist) SYSTEM 62) 63) 64) 65) 66) PBA (Panic Brake Assist) SYSTEM The PBA system is designed to improve the car’s braking capacity during emergency braking. The system detects emergency braking by monitoring the speed and force with which the brake pedal is pressed, and consequently applies the optimal brake pressure. This can reduce the braking distance: the PBA system therefore completes the ABS. Maximum assistance from the PBA system is obtained by pressing the brake pedal very quickly. In addition, the brake pedal should be pressed continuously during braking, avoiding intermittent presses, to get the most out of the system. Do not reduce pressure on the brake pedal until braking is no longer necessary. The PBA system is deactivated when the brake pedal is released. 67) 68) 69) 70) 71) This is an integral part of the ESC system and facilitates starting on slopes, activating automatically in the following cases: uphill: car stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, motor running, brake pressed and the transmission in N or D; downhill: car stationary on a road with a gradient higher than 5%, motor running, brake pressed and reverse gear engaged. When setting off, the ESC system control unit maintains the braking pressure on the wheels until the drive 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. When the 2 seconds have elapsed, without starting, the system is automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure. During this release stage, the typical mechanical brake release noise can be heard, indicating that the car is about to move. ERM (Electronic Rollover Mitigation) SYSTEM The system monitors the tendency of the wheels to rise from the ground if the driver performs extreme manoeuvres like quick steering to avoid 101 SAFETY an obstacle, especially in poor road conditions. If these conditions occur, the system intervenes on the brakes and motor power to reduce the possibility that the wheels are raised from the ground. It is not possible to avoid tendency to roll over if the phenomenon is due to reasons such as driving on high side gradients, collision with objects or other cars. 72) HOLD 'N' GO It is an integral part of the ESC system and keeps the car braked in all conditions. The Hold 'n' Go function can be activated from the panel in NORMAL mode; it is always active in RANGE and SHERPA modes. If activated, after detecting that the car is stationary and the brake pedal has been released, the Hold 'n' Go function keeps the vehicle braked. You can now remove your foot from the brake pedal. When the driver lightly touches the accelerator pedal, the Hold 'n' Go function releases the brake again, leaving the car free to move. If the car is stationary and one of the following conditions required by the Hold 'n' Go function is changed: 102 driver's door closed driver's seat belt not fastened the function is deactivated and the EPB is automatically engaged. 73) DISABLING ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS Depending on the versions, there are 3 configurations for the active safety systems on the car: systems enabled; systems partially disabled; systems disabled. Systems enabled All active safety systems are enabled. This mode should be used in most driving conditions. The system will be in "Systems enabled" mode every time the motor is started. WARNING You are advised to select "Systems partially disabled" or "Systems disabled" modes only for specific driving requirements. Systems partially disabled By pressing the button (A) fig. 101 on the control display located on the left side of the instrument panel (left-hand drive versions) for less than 5 seconds, while the car is running, it is possible to limit the intervention of the TC system to the braking action on the individual driving wheels only. The other systems remain enabled. Activation of this mode is indicated by the warning light on the instrument panel switching on (on some versions, together with a message on the display). 101 F0S1140 To restore the "Fully Enabled Systems" mode of operation, press the button on the control display located on the left side of the instrument panel (left-hand drive versions) again. "Systems completely enabled" mode will automatically reactivate every time the motor is started. WARNING When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be helpful to activate "Systems partially disabled" mode: in these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving off makes it possible to obtain better traction. Systems disabled Pressing the button on the control panel on the left-hand side of the dashboard (left-hand drive versions) for more than 5 seconds completely deactivates the ESC system, as well as the ERM and FCW systems; the TC system will be limited to braking action on the individual drive wheels. The other systems remain enabled. Activation of this mode is indicated by on the instrument the warning light panel switching on (on some versions, together with a message on the display). WARNING If a speed of approximately 65 km/h is exceeded, the systems will behave as described for "Systems partially disabled" mode. To restore the "Systems Enabled" operating mode, press the button on the control display located on the left side of the instrument panel (left-hand drive versions) again. "Systems enabled" mode will automatically reactivate every time the motor is started. WARNING 51) If the ABS intervenes, this indicates that the grip of the tyres on the road is nearing its limit: you must slow down to a speed compatible with the available grip. 52) To achieve maximum efficiency of the braking system, a settlement period of about 500 km is required. During this time, avoid sudden, repeated and prolonged braking. 53) The ABS cannot overrule the natural laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip available according to the condition of the road. 54) The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning. 55) The capability of the ABS must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others. 56) For the correct operation of the ABS, 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. 57) The ESC system cannot overrule the natural laws of physics, and can’t increase the grip available according to the condition of the road. 58) The ESC system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning. 59) The capability of the ESC system must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others. 60) For the correct operation of the ESC system, the tyres must necessarily be of the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, of the prescribed type and size. 61) ESC performance features must not induce the driver to take unnecessary or unwarranted risks. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any case, responsible for safe driving. 62) For the correct operation of the TC 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. 63) TC performance features must not induce the driver to take unnecessary or unwarranted risks. Your driving style must always be suited to the road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any case, responsible for safe driving. 64) The TC system cannot overrule the natural laws of physics, and cannot increase the grip available according to the condition of the road. 65) The TC system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning. 66) The capability of the TC system must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others. 67) The PBA system cannot overrule the natural laws of physics, and cannot 103 SAFETY increase the grip available according to the condition of the road. 68) The PBA system cannot prevent accidents, including those due to excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning. 69) The capability of the PBA system must never be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in such a way as to compromise the safety of the driver, the other occupants of the car or any other road user. 70) The HSA system is not a parking brake; therefore, never leave the car without having engaged the electric parking brake and turned the motor off so that it is parked in safe conditions (for further information read the "When parked" chapter in the "Starting and driving" section). 71) There may be situations on small gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle laden, in which the Hill Start Assist system may not activate, causing a slight reversing motion and increasing the risk of collision with another vehicle or object. The driver is, in any case, responsible for safe driving. 72) The performance of a car with ERM must never be tested in imprudent or dangerous ways, with the possibility of putting the safety of the driver or other people at risk. 73) The intelligent technology of the Hold 'n' Go function cannot overcome the limits imposed by physical laws and only works within the limits of the system. The increased comfort offered by the Hold 'n' Go function must never cause the driver to take risks that could compromise safety. DRIVING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS The car can feature the following driving assistance systems: Blind Spot Assist; Autonomous Emergency Brake Control; iTPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System); Lane Control. For the operation of the systems, see the following pages. BLIND SPOT ASSIST SYSTEM 74) The Blind Spot Assist system uses ultrasound sensors, located in the front and rear bumpers (one for the rear side - see fig. 102), to detect the presence of cars in the rear side blind spots of the car. 102 104 The system warns the driver about the presence of cars in the detection area by lighting up, on the relevant side, the warning light located on the door mirror fig. 103, along with an acoustic warning (see "Blind spot alert" paragraph, "Visual and acoustic" mode). F0S1288 103 F0S1142 Sensors The sensors are activated when the car is travelling at a speed greater than approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) and are temporarily deactivated at a speed greater than approximately 140 km/h (84 mph). The detection area of the system covers the blind spot of the rear-view mirror. When the sensors are active the system monitors the detection areas on both sides of the car and warns the driver about the possible presence of cars in these areas. While driving the system monitors the detection area from three different input points (side, rear and front) to check whether a signal needs to be sent to the driver. The system can detect the presence of a vehicle in one of these three areas. WARNING The system does not signal the presence of fixed object (e.g. safety barriers, poles, walls, etc.). However, in some circumstances, the system may activate in the presence of these objects. WARNING The system does not warn the driver about the presence of cars coming from the opposite direction, in the adjacent lanes. Warnings For the system to operate correctly, the bumper area where ultrasound sensors are located must stay free from water, snow, ice and dirt gathered from the road surface. The system may be disturbed in case of adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, hail, extreme heat, etc.) and in case of wet road surface. In these cases, the system may give some false signals or fail to detect the vehicles. Do not cover the area in which the sensors are located with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike rack, etc.). The system may not recognise the presence of long vehicles in the blind spot. Rear view The system detects vehicles coming from the rear part of your car on both sides and entering the rear detection area with a difference in speed of less than approx. 30 km/h (18 mph) with respect to your car. Overtaking vehicles If another vehicle is overtaken (with a difference in speed of less than about 15 km/h), the warning light on the door mirror of the corresponding side lights up. If the difference in speed between the two vehicles is greater than about 15 km/h, the warning light does not light up. Operating Mode The system can be activated/deactivated by operating on the instrument panel display Menu, or via the Uconnect™ system (for further information, see the dedicated "Multimedia" section). The system will store the operating mode running when the motor was switched off. Each time the car is started the previously stored mode will be recalled and used. "Blind Spot Alert", "Visual" mode When this mode is active, system activates only a visual warning to the door mirror relating to the object detected. "Blind spot alert", "Visual and acoustic" mode When this mode is active, system activates a visual warning to the door mirror relating to the object detected. If the direction indicator on the side where an obstacle has been detected is activated, an acoustic warning is emitted as well. When the acoustic warning is emitted, the Uconnect™ volume is also lowered. "Blind Spot Alert" function deactivation When the system is deactivated ("Blind Spot Alert" mode at "OFF"), the system will not emit neither acoustic nor visual warnings. Startup status check With the ignition device in the ENGINE position, if the system is enabled, the LEDs on the exterior mirrors will light up during the check phase. If the system is working properly, they will switch off after a few seconds. 105 SAFETY AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM (AEB Control) (where provided) 75) 76) 77) 78) 79) 28) 29) 30) 31) 32) This is a driving assistance system consisting of a camera mounted in the middle of the windscreen fig. 104 capable of intervening in case of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. In the event of an imminent collision the system intervenes by automatically braking the car to prevent the impact or reduce its effects. 104 F0S1286 The system provides the driver with audible and visual signals through specific messages on the instrument panel display. The system may lightly brake to warn the driver if a possible frontal accident 106 is detected (limited braking). Signals and limited braking are intended to allow the driver to react promptly, in order to prevent or reduce the effects of a potential accident. In situations with the risk of collision, if the system detects no intervention by the driver, it provides automatic braking to help slow the car and mitigate the potential frontal accident (automatic braking). If intervention by the driver on the brake pedal is detected but not deemed sufficient, the system may intervene in order to improve the reaction of the braking system, therefore reducing vehicle speed further (additional assistance in braking stage). The system will not intervene if the driver takes control of the car and is recognised as being aware of the situation and possible collision. The car is equipped with the "creeping" function. It could then restart after a few seconds from automatic stop. WARNING After the car is stopped, the brake callipers may be locked for about 2 seconds for safety reasons. Press the brake pedal if the car should advance slightly. Engagement / disengagement The Autonomous Emergency Brake Control can be deactivated (and then switched back on again) using the Uconnect™ system (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section), or using the instrument panel (see "Settings" in the "Display" paragraph in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section). The system can be turned off even with the ignition device in the ENGINE position. The system can be set to three activation levels: System active: the system (if active), in addition to the visual and acoustic warnings, provides limited braking, automatic braking and additional assistance in braking stage, where the driver does not brake sufficiently in the event of a potential frontal impact; System partially active: the system (if active) does not provide limited braking, but guarantees automatic braking or additional assistance in braking stage, where the driver does not brake at all or not sufficiently in the event of a potential frontal accident. The visual and acoustic warnings are deactivated, and will not be provided; System deactivated: the system does not provide visual and acoustic warnings, limited braking, automatic braking or additional assistance in braking stage. The system will therefore provide no indication of a possible accident. WARNING Visual signals will indicate the direction of detection of the obstacle (vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists). Activation / deactivation If Autonomous Emergency Brake Control has been correctly activated, it will be active each time the motor is started. The system is deactivated if this is selected on the instrument panel or Uconnect™ system menu. Following a deactivation, the system will not warn the driver about the possible accident with the preceding vehicle, regardless of the setting selected. The system activation status will not be kept in the memory when the motor is switched off: if the system is deactivated when the motor is switched off, it will be active when it its next started. After a deactivation, the system can be reactivated from the Uconnect™ system or instrument panel menu. The function is not active at speed above 5 km/h. The system is only active if: it has been activated correctly; it has not been deactivated using the instrument panel or Uconnect™ system menu; the ignition device is in the ENGINE position; car speed is higher than 5 km/h. Changing the system sensitivity The sensitivity of the system can be changed through the Uconnect™ system or instrument panel menu, choosing from one of the following three options: "Near", "Med" or "Far". See the description in the "Multimedia" section for how to change the settings. The default option is "Med". With this setting, the system warns the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in front when that vehicle is at a standard distance, between that of the other two settings. This setting offers the driver reaction time longer than that of the "Near" setting but shorter than that of the "Far" setting in the event of a potential accident. By setting system sensitivity to "Near", the system warns the driver of a possible accident with the vehicle in front when that vehicle is a short distance away. With the system sensitivity set to "Far", the system will warn the driver of a possible collision with the vehicle in front when that vehicle is at a greater distance, thus providing the possibility of acting on the brakes more lightly and gradually. This setting provides the drivers with the maximum possible reaction time to prevent a potential accident. The system sensitivity setting is kept in the memory when the motor is switched off. Function temporarily not available warning If the warning light comes on and the dedicated message is displayed, a condition temporarily disabling operation of the system may have occurred. The main possible causes of this temporary blinding are weatherrelated (heavy rain, fog, sun low down on the horizon, etc.). Although the car can still be driven in normal conditions, the system may be temporarily not available. When the conditions limiting the system functions end, this will go back to normal and complete operation. Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat Dealership. 107 SAFETY Warning of system disabling due to an obstruction If the dedicated message is displayed, a condition disabling operation of the system may have occurred. The possible cause of this disabling is a camera obstruction. If an obstruction is signalled, clean the area of the windscreen indicated in fig. 104 and check that the message has disappeared. Although the car can still be driven in normal conditions, the system is not available. When the conditions disabling the system functions end, it will return to normal and complete operation. Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat Dealership. System Fault Message If the system switches off and a dedicated message is shown on the display, it means that there is a fault on the system. In this case, it is still possible to drive the car, but you are advised to contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. Driving in special conditions In certain driving conditions, such as, for example: driving close to a bend; vehicles with small dimensions and/or not aligned in the driving lane; 108 lane change by other vehicles; vehicles travelling at right angles to the vehicle. System intervention might be unexpected or delayed. The driver must therefore be very careful, keeping control of the car to drive in complete safety. Vehicles with small dimensions and/or not aligned in the driving lane The system cannot detect vehicles in front of the car but outside the camera's field of vision and may therefore not react in the presence of small vehicles, such as motorbikes. fig. 106. WARNING In particularly complex traffic conditions, the driver can deactivate the system manually through the Uconnect™ system or the instrument panel. Driving close to a bend When entering or leaving a wide bend, the system may detect a vehicle that is in front of you, but that is not driving in the same lane fig. 105. In cases such as these, the system may intervene. 105 F0S1181 106 F0S1182 Pedestrian/cyclist detection While driving, when there is a risk of collision with a pedestrian or cyclist, the system will display the relevant warning message indicating the direction of obstacle detection and, if necessary, apply the brakes. Lane change by other vehicles cars suddenly changing lane, entering the same lane as your car and this moving into the camera's field of vision, may cause the system to intervene fig. 107. CORRECT TYRE PRESSURE If no flat tyres are detected, the outline of the car will be shown in the dedicated display screen. 107 F0S1183 Warnings The system has not been designed to prevent impacts and cannot detect possible conditions leading to an accident in advance. Failure to take into account this warning may lead to serious or fatal injuries. In case of complex scenarios, unexpected or unnecessary warnings or braking may occur. iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) 80) 81) 82) 83) 84) 85) The car can be equipped with the iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) which monitors the tyre inflation status thanks to wheel speed sensors. LOW TYRE PRESSURE The system warns the driver if one or more tyres are flat by switching on the warning light on the instrument panel and a warning message on the display, along with an acoustic warning. This warning 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 manually. The RESET procedure must be carried out: each time tyre pressure is modified; when even only one tyre is changed; 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 the "Wheels" chapter in the "Technical specifications" section). If the RESET 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 car stopped and the ignition device at ENGINE, use the Main Menu as follows: go to "Vehicle info" and then to "Reset tyre pressure"; press the "OK" and hold down (more than 2 seconds); the display will show the procedure progress (with a graphic bar) till the RESET is completed. At the end of the RESET procedure the display will show the "Reset saved" message, indicating that the self-learning has been started and you will hear an acoustic warning. If the self-learning procedure of the iTPMS system has not been carried out correctly, no warning is provided. OPERATING 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 109 SAFETY 110 partial in detecting the contemporary deflation of more than one tyre. Under special conditions (e.g. car loaded asymmetrically on one side, towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre, fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the "Fix&Go" tyre repair kit, fitting snow chains, fitting different tyres on the axles) the system may provide 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 warning message and the symbols "– –" will appear next to the shape of the car next to each tyre. This warning is displayed also after the engine has been switched off and then on again if the correct operating conditions are not restored. In the case of abnormal signals, it is recommended to perform the RESET procedure. If the indications appear again after a successful RESET, check that the tyres used on all four wheels are the same and that the tyres are not damaged. As soon as possible, refit the standard tyre instead of the space-saver wheel, remove the snow chains, if possible, check correct load distribution and repeat the RESET procedure by driving on a clean, tarmacked road. If the indications persist, contact a Fiat Dealership. ATTENTION ASSIST SYSTEM (where provided) This is an auxiliary driving assistance system that detects when the driver is tired. ACTIVATION / DEACTIVATION The system can be activated/deactivated via the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect™ system (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section) or via the instrument panel (see "Settings" in the "Display" paragraph in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section). SYSTEM INTERVENTION The system intervenes if the camera in the middle of the windscreen fig. 108 detects that the driver is tired, based on variations in car trajectory and getting too close to the side of the road. 108 F0S1286 The (red) symbol appears on the instrument panel screen with a dedicated message suggesting the driver to stop and take a break. An acoustic signal is also emitted. If the driver accepts the suggestion provided by the system and stops for a pause, by pressing the OK button on the left side of the steering wheel, the message will disappear from the display and the symbol will be displayed in the dedicated area of the instrument panel display up to the next time the motor is started/stopped. If the driver ignores the warning provided by the system and does not stop, the message will remain on the instrument panel display until the OK button located on the left hand side controls of the steering wheel is pressed. The symbol , will remain displayed in the dedicated area of the instrument panel display. IMPORTANT In the event of a system symbol appears on fault, the amber the instrument panel display together with a dedicated message. LANE CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Lane Control makes use of a camera located on the windscreen to detect the lane limits and calculate the position of the car within such limits, in order to make sure that it remains inside the lane. When the one of the lane lines is detected and the car crosses it without the awareness of the driver (direction indicator off), the Lane Control system provides a tactile warning in form of torque applied to the steering wheel (vibration) when the lane limit is approached, thus advising the driver that he must take an action to remain in the lane. WARNING The torque applied to the steering wheel by the system is sufficient for the driver to notice it, but always limited, so that they can easily override it, and the driver always maintains control of the car. The driver can therefore turn the steering wheel as required at all times. If the car continues going beyond the line of the lane without any intervention from the driver, the warning light (or the icon on the reconfigurable multifunction display) will be displayed on the instrument panel to urge the driver to bring the car back into the limits of the lane. SYSTEM ON/OFF When the car is started the system is disabled. To disengage the system, press the (A) fig. 109 on the lever on the left steering wheel twice. If the button is not pressed twice within 5 seconds, the system will remain enabled. On some versions, a specific message indicating disabling is shown on the display. 109 F0S1338 Activation conditions Once switched on, the system becomes active only if the following conditions are met: the driver always keeps at least one hand on the steering wheel; car speed ranges between 60 km/h and 150 km/h; the lane is delimited at least on one side; there are suitable visibility conditions; the road is straight or with wide radius bends; the direction indicator (lane departure) is not activated in the same lane departure direction as the vehicle. WARNING The system does not apply the torque to the steering wheel when a safety system is activated (brakes, ABS, ASR system, ESC system, Autonomous Emergency Brake Control (AEB) system, etc.). SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY The Lane Control also warns the driver when the car strays out of lane by displaying symbols and messages on the instrument panel display. 111 SAFETY Versions with reconfigurable multifunction display When the system is active and the lane limits have not been detected, the lane lines are grey and a dedicated icon is shown in the dedicated top area of the display. Exiting a lane with detection of a single limit When the system is active and only, for example, the left lane limit has been detected, the car icon is shown in the dedicated area of the display; the system is ready to provide visual warnings in the event of unintentional exiting (direction indicator not activated) of the lane to the left. When the system detects that the car has approached the lane line, the left line on the display turns yellow and the car icon shown on the display becomes yellow. When the system detects that the car has approached the lane line and is about to pass it, the left line on the display (yellow) flashes and the car icon shown on the display turns yellow. The system operates in the same way, but mirrored, in the event of exiting the right lane when only the right lane limit has been detected. 112 Exiting a lane with detection of both limits When the system is active, the lane lines on the display become white to indicate the successful detection of the limits. When both lane limits have been detected, the car shown in the graphic icon on the display changes green and the system is ready. In accordance with the different conditions detected, the system can attract the attention of the driver by altering the lines that identify the lanes on the display. In particular, the system can alter their colour (from white to yellow and vice versa), and make them flash. Equally, the system alters the colour of the car icon shown on the display. Changing the system settings The settings of the system can be changed through the Uconnect™ system (see description in the dedicated supplement). System limited operation warning 33) 34) If the dedicated message is shown on the display, a condition limiting the system operation may have occurred. The possible reasons of this limitation are something blocking the camera view or a fault. If an obstruction is signalled, clean the area of the windscreen by the interior rear-view mirror and check that the message has disappeared. Although the car can still be driven in normal conditions, the system may be not completely available. When the conditions limiting the system functions end, this will go back to normal and complete operation. Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat Dealership. No hands on steering wheel detection If the system detects no hands from the steering wheel during active system intervention, the system will produce an escalation of visual-acoustic warnings, which will take 15 seconds to invite the driver to put the hands on the steering wheel. If you do not put your hands on the wheel within this time, the system will disconnect and provide an additional warning for 5 seconds. System Fault Message If the system switches off and a dedicated message is shown on the display, it means that there is a fault on the system. In this case, it is still possible to drive the car, but you are advised to contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. WARNING 74) The system is an aid for car driving, it DOES NOT warn the driver about incoming cars outside of the detection areas. The driver must always maintain a sufficient level of attention to the traffic and road conditions and for controlling the trajectory of the vehicle. 75) The system is an aid for the driver, who must always pay full attention while driving. The responsibility always rests with the driver, who must take into account the traffic conditions in order to drive in complete safety. The driver must always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. 76) The capability of the Autonomous Emergency Brake Control system must never be tested irresponsibly or dangerously, in such a way as to compromise personal safety and the safety of others. 77) If the driver presses the accelerator pedal fully or steers abruptly during system operation, the automatic braking function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle). 78) The system intervenes on vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists travelling in the same lane. Animals and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken into consideration. 79) If the car must be placed on a roller bench for maintenance or if it is washed in an automatic car wash with an obstacle in the front part (e.g. another vehicle, a wall or another obstacle), the system may detect its presence and activate. Therefore, in this case the system must be deactivated. 80) If the iTPMS system signals a pressure drop on the tyres, it is recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres. 81) The iTPMS does not relieve the driver from the obligation to check the tyre pressure every month; it is not even to be considered a replacement system for maintenance or a safety system. 82) 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. 83) 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. 84) The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not able to inflate them. 85) Insufficient tyre inflation increases electrical energy consumption, reduces the tread duration and may affect your ability to drive safely. IMPORTANT 28) The system may have limited operation or not work at all in weather conditions such as, low sun, heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow. 29) System intervention might be unexpected or delayed when other cars transport loads projecting from the side, above or from the rear, with respect to the normal size of the car. 30) Operation can be adversely affected by any structural change made to the car, such as a modification to the front geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load than the standard load of the car. 31) Incorrect repairs in the zone where the camera is mounted may interfere with its field of vision and reduce its performance (e.g. application of fillers or glues to remove scratches). Go to a Fiat Dealership for any operation of this type. 32) Do not tamper with nor operate on the camera on the windscreen. In the event of a sensor failure, contact a Fiat Dealership. 33) The camera may have limited or absent operation due to weather conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on the windscreen glass. 34) Camera operation may also be compromised by the presence of dust, condensation, dirt or ice on the windscreen glass, by traffic conditions (e.g. cars that are driving not aligned with yours, car driving in a transverse or opposite way on the same lane, bend with a small radius of curvature), by road surface conditions and by driving conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure the windscreen is always clean. Use specific detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching the windscreen. The camera operation may also be limited or absent in some driving, traffic and road surface conditions. 113 SAFETY 114 OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS Some of the most important safety equipment of the car 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" chapter in the "Knowing your car" section. SEAT BELTS All car seats are equipped with seat belts with three anchorage points and a retractor. The reel mechanism operates locking the belt in the event of sharp braking or strong deceleration due to a collision. 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 car. 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. USING THE SEAT BELTS Always fasten the seat belts before setting off. The belt should be worn keeping the torso straight and rested against the backrest. To fasten the seat belts, hold fastening tongue (A) fig. 110 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. 110 to release the belt. Guide the belt while it is rewinding to prevent it from twisting. Through the retractor, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement. 110 F0S1201 The retractor may lock when the car 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. The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat belts with three anchoring points and a retractor. WARNING For the rear door version, the passenger side seat belt is installed on the rear side door. Always make sure the door is closed before fastening the seat belt. WARNING Wear the rear seat belts as shown in fig. 111. 111 F0S1259 WARNING When putting the back seat to its normal position, make sure the seat belts are positioned so they are ready to use. 86) 87) WARNING 86) Never press button (C) fig. 110 when travelling. 87) 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. SBR (SEAT BELT REMINDER) SYSTEM (where provided) The SBR system warns the passengers of the front and rear (for versions/markets, where provided) seats if their seat belt is not fastened. The system warnings unfastened seat belts with visual warnings (warning lights on in the instrument panel and icons on the display) and an acoustic warning (see the following paragraphs). NOTE Contact a Fiat Dealership to deactivate this acoustic warning permanently. The acoustic warning can be reactivated at any time through the display Setup Menu. Seat belts warning light operation When the ignition device is turned to ENGINE, the warning light comes on for a few seconds, regardless of the status of the front seat belts. With car moving slower than 20 km/h, if the driver side seat belt or the passenger side seat belt (with occupant seated) is unfastened, the warning light stays on constantly. As soon as a speed threshold of 20 km/h is reached, with driver side seat belt or the passenger side seat belt (with occupant seated) unfastened, an acoustic warning is activated simultaneously with warning light flashing for about 105 seconds. Once activated, this indication cycle stays active for the entire time if the car is moving faster than 8 km/h or if reverse gear is not engaged or until the seat belts are fastened. If the car speed drops to less than 8 km/h or if reverse gear is engaged during the warning cycle, the tone will be interrupted and the warning light switches on fixed. If the entire time has not elapsed and reverse gear is not engaged, the indication cycle is reactivated as soon as the car speed exceeds 20 km/h again. Operation of rear seat belt icons The icons are shown on the display fig. 112. P A B POWER 112 F0S1176 The icons shown on the display indicate: A: rear left seat belt; 115 SAFETY B: rear right seat belt. With the car travelling as speed lower than 20 km/h, if a rear seat belt is unbuckled, the icon stays on with fixed light for a total of approximately 65 seconds. The icons are displayed according to the corresponding seat belts in the rear seats, and stay on for about 65 seconds from the last seat belt status change: if the seat belt is fastened the corresponding icon will be green; if the seat belt is unfastened the corresponding icon will be red. If the car is travelling at a speed faster than 20 km/h and reverse is not engaged, if a rear seat belt is unbuckled, an acoustic warning is sounded when the icon blinks for approximately 35 seconds. Successively, the acoustic warning is deactivated and the icon lights up with fixed light until the end of the entire cycle. Furthermore, the icons lights up for a few seconds whenever one of the rear doors is opened. WARNING As far as the rear seats are concerned, the SBR system will only indicate whether the seat belts are unfastened (red icon) or fastened (green icon), not the presence of any passengers. 116 The icons all stay off if all seat belts (front and rear) are fastened when the ignition device is set to the ENGINE position. For the rear seats, the icons will activate a few seconds after the ignition device has been turned to ENGINE regardless of the status of the seat belts (even if the seat belts are all fastened). All the icons will come on when at least one belt changes from fastened to unfastened status or vice versa. PRE-TENSIONERS The car is equipped with front and rear seat belts pretensioners, that reduce slack in the belts in the event of a severe frontal collision. This guarantees the perfect adherence of the seat belts to the occupants' bodies before the restraining action begins. It is evident that the pretensioners have operated when the belt withdraws towards the retractor. This car is also equipped with a second pretensioner (fitted in the kick plate area). Its activation is signalled by the shortening of the metal cable. 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 or mud, have it replaced. WARNING To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and pelvis. 88) 89) 90) 35) LOAD LIMITERS To increase occupant safety, the retractors of the safety belts 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 WARNINGS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS 91) Seat belts are also to be worn by pregnant women: the risk of injury in the case of collision 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. 113). While pregnancy increases, the driver must adjust both seat and steering wheel to have full control over the car (pedals and steering wheel should be easily accessed). The maximum clearance should be kept between the abdomen and the steering wheel. 114 F0S1251 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. 115. In general, do not place any objects between the person and the belt. 113 F0S1258 The seat belt strap 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. 114) rather than the abdomen of the passenger. Never use devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt away from your body. 115 F0S1252 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 seat 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; prevent the retractors from getting wet: their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside replace the seat belt when it shows wear or cuts. WARNING 88) The pretensioner may be used only once. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced after it has been deployed. 89) 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. 90) 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. 117 SAFETY 91) 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. IMPORTANT 35) Operations which lead to impacts, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of six hours) in the area around the pretensioners may damage or deploy them. Contact a Fiat Dealership should intervention be necessary on these components. 118 CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY 92) 93) 94) 95) For optimal protection in the event of an impact, all occupants must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems, including newborn and 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 a collision. 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 car 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. For correct installation on the car, some universal child restraint systems require an accessory (base) sold separately by the restraint system's producer. Therefore, FCA advises customers to check that their chosen child restraint system can be installed on their vehicle by performing a trial installation, on the vendor's premises, before purchase. WARNING 92) SEVERE DANGER When a front passenger airbag is fitted, do not install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag in a crash could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the collision. It is advisable to always carry children in a child restraint system on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of a collision. 93) 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). 94) Should it be necessary to carry a child on the passenger side front seat in a rearward facing child restraint system, the passenger side front airbag and side bag must be deactivated through the display main menu (see the "Display" chapter in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section), verifying deactivation by checking whether the OFF LED has switched on in the trim located on centre ceiling light. Move the passenger's seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child restraint system and the dashboard. 95) Do not move the front or rear seat if a child is seated on it or on the dedicated child restraint system. 119 SAFETY In Europe the characteristics of child restraint systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into five weight groups: Group Age Weight groups Size class/Fixing ISO/L1 Group 0 Indicatively up to 9 months Up to 10 kg in weight ISO/L2 ISO/R1 ISO/R1 Group 0+ Indicatively up to 2 years Up to 13 kg in weight ISO/R2 ISO/R3 ISO/R2 ISO/R3 Group 1 Indicatively from 8 months to 4 years 9-18 kg ISO/F2 ISO/F2X ISO/F3 Group 2 Indicatively from 3 to 7 years 15 - 25 kg – Group 3 Indicatively from 6 to 12 years 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. 120 INSTALLING A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM WITH SEAT BELTS child’s chest and not the neck, and the lower part is snug on the pelvis not the abdomen. 96) 97) 98) 99) 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. 116 WARNING The figures are indicative and provided for assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included. F0S1253 Group 1 Children weighing from 9 to 18 kg may be transported in forward facing child restraint systems fig. 117. WARNING Following an accident of a certain importance, it is recommended to replace both the child restraint system and the seat belt to which it was bound. Group 0 and 0+ Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with a rearward facing child restraint system of the type shown in fig. 116 which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sudden decelerations. The child restraint system is restrained by the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 116 and it must restrain the child in turn with its own belts. 117 118 F0S1257 Group 3 For children between 22 and 36 kg, there are dedicated restraint systems that allow the seat belt to be worn correctly. The fig. 119 shows the correct child positioning on the rear seat. F0S1255 Group 2 Children from 15 to 25 kg may be restrained directly by the car seat belts fig. 118. 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 119 F0S1256 Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts like adults. 121 SAFETY 122 INSTALLING AN ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM A 100) 101) 102) 103) 104) The car is equipped with ISOFIX anchorages (European standard which makes the installation of the seats quick and safe), on the rear seats and on the front passenger seat. The ISOFIX system lets you install the ISOFIX child restraint system without using the car seat belts but connecting them directly to the car seat with three anchorages in the car. Traditional child restraint systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint systems on different seats in the same car. To install an ISOFIX child restraint system, attach it to the two metal anchorages (A) fig. 120 located in the back of the passenger front seat and of the rear seats indicated by the symbol in the point where the seat cushion meets the backrest, remove the parcel shelf and fix the upper strap (provided with the child restraint system) to the dedicated anchoring (B) fig. 121 located at the bottom of the seat back. fig. 122 shows an example of a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system for weight group 1. 120 F0S1321 122 F0S1254 WARNING Following an accident of a certain severity, it is recommended to replace both the child restraint system and the ISOFIX anchorages. The other weight groups are covered by specific ISOFIX child restraint systems, which can be used only if specifically tested for this car (see list of cars provided with the child restraint system). 121 F0S1322 WARNING The diagram is indicative and for fitting purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included. 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. For any further details on installation/use, refer to the instruction manual for the child restraint system. SUITABILITY OF PASSENGER SEATS FOR i-SIZE CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM USE (where provided) These child restraint systems, built and type-approved according to the i-Size (ECE R129) standard, ensure better safety conditions to carry children on board a vehicle: the child must be transported rearward facing until 15 months; child restraint system protection is increased in the event of a side collision; the use of the ISOFIX system is promoted to avoid faulty installation of the child restraint system; efficiency in the choice of the child restraint system, which isn't made according to weight any more but according to the child's height, is increased; compatibility between the car seats and the child restraint systems is better: the i-Size child restraint systems can be considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this means that they can be perfectly fitted in type-approved i-Size seats, but can also be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44) type-approved seats. NOTE If your car seats are i-Size approved, the symbol shown in fig. 123 will appear on the seats near the ISOFIX attachments. 123 J0A0450 NOTE See the table shown on the following page to check whether your car is approved for installing i-Size child restraint systems. WARNING 96) Child restraint systems with Isofix attachments are available for safe anchoring to the seat without using the car seat belts. For this type of seats see paragraph "Installation of an Isofix child restraint system" in this chapter. 97) 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. 98) When the child restraint system is not used, secure it with the seat belt or with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from the car. Do not leave it unsecured inside the passenger compartment. In this way, in the event of sudden braking or an accident, it will not cause injuries to the occupants. 99) After installing a child restraint system, do not move the seat: always remove the child restraint system before making any adjustment. 100) 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. 101) Never use the same lower anchorage to attach more than one child restraint. 102) If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint system is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will not be able to protect the child correctly. In a crash, the child could be seriously or fatally injured. 103) 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. 104) The diagram is indicative and for fitting purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included. 123 SAFETY Child restraint system installation The following table provides guidelines on positioning child restraint systems on the car seats.

Fiat recommends installing it using the ISOFIX anchorage points of the car. Advisable, it should be fitted on the rear outer seats. Main recommendations to carry children safely Install the child restraint systems on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of a collision. Keep children in rearward facing child restraint systems for as long as possible, until 3–4 years old if possible. If the passenger's front airbag is deactivated always check the dedicated warning light on the trim located on the dashboard to make sure that it has actually been deactivated. Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child restraint system. Keep the instructions in the car along with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use second-hand child seats without instructions. 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. Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by pulling on it. While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts. Never allow a child to put the belt's diagonal section under an arm or behind their back. Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-one can hold a child in the case of a collision. 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 car and fitted if the seat is used by an adult passenger or a child sitting in a child restraint system without backrest. SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) - AIRBAG The car may be equipped with: front driver airbag; front passenger airbag; driver and passenger front side bags for pelvis, chest and shoulder protection; window bags for head protection of front seat passengers and rear side seat passengers. 105) 106) 107) 108) 109) 110) FRONT AIRBAGS 111) The front (driver and passenger) airbags protect the front seat occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion 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. An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the event of a frontal impact. The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between the front occupants body and the structures 129 SAFETY 130 which could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards. Front airbags are not a replacement of but complementary to the seat belts, which you are recommended to always wear, as specified by law in Europe and most non-European countries. In the event of a collision, someone not wearing a seat belt could move forward and come into contact with a bag which is still opening. The protection offered by the bag is compromised in these circumstances. The front airbags may not be deployed in the following cases: frontal impact against highly deformable objects not involving the front surface of the car (e.g. wing collision against guard rail); 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. fig. 125: this bag has a larger volume than the driver's. Driver's side front airbag 125 112) This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special compartment A in the centre of the steering wheel fig. 124. 124 F0S1145 Passenger front airbag This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special compartment in the dashboard F0S1147 Passenger's front airbag and child restraint systems 113) Rearward facing child restraint systems must NEVER be fitted on the front seat with an active passenger side bag since in the event of a collision the airbag deployment may cause fatal injuries to the transported child. ALWAYS comply with the instructions on the label stuck on both sides of the sun visor (fig. 126). 126 F0S1261 WARNING 105) The front airbags and/or side bags may be deployed if the car is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the underbody area, such as for example violent shocks against steps, pavements or low obstacles, the car falling in big holes or dips in the road. 106) A small amount of dust will be released when the airbags are deployed. The dust is not harmful and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. Furthermore, the surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the car may be covered by a dusty residue: this may irritate skin and eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in the event of exposure. Every control, repair and replacement operation concerning the airbags must only be carried out at a Fiat Dealership. If the car is scrapped, have the system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership. 107) Every control, repair and replacement operation concerning the airbags must only be carried out at a Fiat Dealership. 108) If the car is scrapped, have the system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership. 109) Pretensioners, front airbags and side bags are deployed according to different logics on the basis of the type of collision. Failure to activate one or more of the devices does not indicate a system malfunction. 110) Should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices are activated, take the car to a Fiat Dealership to have the activated devices replaced and to have the whole system checked. 111) Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area, on the side upholstery on the roof and on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's side dashboard since they could interfere with correct inflation of the airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers. 112) The airbag must be able to inflate without obstruction in the event of deployment. It is therefore recommended not to drive with the body bent forward, but to sit up resting your back and shoulders on the backrest of the seat. Adjusting the position of the seat so that you can reach and manoeuvre the steering wheel comfortably with your arms slightly bent being as far away as possible from the steering wheel. Being too close to the steering wheel when the airbag is deployed may cause serious injury. 113) 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. It is advisable to always carry children in a child restraint system on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the event of a collision. 131 SAFETY Passenger's front airbag and child restraint systems: WARNING 127 132 F0S1025 Deactivating the passenger side airbags: front airbag and front side bag 114) 115) 116) (where provided) Warning light (A) fig. 128 indicates that the front passenger airbag and the front side bag (where provided) are active. In this case, it is forbidden to install a rearward-facing seat on the passenger seat. Warning light (B) fig. 128 indicates the deactivation of the front passenger airbag and the front side bag (where provided) and remains lit until they are reactivated. 128 SIDE BAGS - WINDOW BAGS To help increase occupant protection in the event of a side collision, the car is equipped with front side bags (for versions/markets, where provided) and window bags (where provided). Side bags protect occupants from side-on crashes of medium/high severity by placing the bag between the occupant and the internal parts of the side structure of the car. Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions (front collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction. Side bag These comprise two instantly inflating bags located in the front seat backrests fig. 129, which protect the pelvis, chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the event of a side collision of medium/high severity. Window bag These consist of two "curtain" bags housed behind the side upholstery of the roof fig. 130 and covered with finishing elements, which protect the heads of front and rear occupants and of rear side seat occupants in the event of a side collision thanks to a wide bag deployment area. 130 F0S1149 Warnings In the event of a side collision, the system provides best protection if the passenger sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allowing correct window bag deployment. F0S1148 117) 118) 119) 120) 121) 122) 123) 124) 125) 126) 127) 128) WARNING To manually deactivate the passenger side front airbag and the front side bag (where provided), see the "Display" chapter in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section. 129 F0S1289 133 SAFETY 134 WARNING 114) In some versions, in the event of LED (located on the a failure of the centre ceiling light), the warning light on the instrument panel turns on and the passenger side airbags are deactivated. 115) The warning light indicates the passenger airbag protection status. If the warning light is off, passenger side protection is active: to deactivate it, use the Setup Menu (in this case the LED lights up). When the car is started (ignition device turned to in the ENGINE 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 the passenger airbag protection is activated after 8 seconds, the warning light will go out. If not, contact a Fiat Dealership. If the motor is started/stopped again in less than 5 seconds the warning light may remain off. In this case, to check correct warning light operation, switch the motor off, wait for at least 5 seconds and switch the engine on again. The warning light may light up with various intensity levels depending on the car conditions. The intensity may also vary during the same key cycle. On moving the ignition device to the ENGINE position, the warning light switches on for 8 seconds. Afterwards, in the event of active passenger airbag protection, the warning light goes out. 116) If a child must be carried on the front seat in a rearward facing child restraint system, it is compulsory to deactivate the passenger side front airbag, making sure that it is deactivated by checking the dedicated warning light on the instrument panel. Move the passenger's seat as far back as possible to avoid contact between the child restraint system and the dashboard. 117) If the warning light does not switch on or stays on whilst driving when the ignition device is turned to ENGINE, a failure may have occurred in the restraint systems. In this case the airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may be deployed accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked. 118) Malfunction of the warning light is indicated by the activation of an airbag failure symbol and a dedicated message on the instrument panel display (or, for versions where provided, by the activation of a blinking generic failure warning light). 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. 119) Do not use seatcovers on front seats featuring side airbags. 120) Do not travel with objects in your lap, in front of your chest or held in your mouth (e.g., pipe, pencil etc.). They could cause severe injury if the airbag is deployed in a crash. 121) If the car has been stolen or in the case of attempt to steal it, if it has been subjected to vandalism or floods, have the airbag system checked by a Fiat Dealership. 122) With the ignition device at ENGINE, airbags may be deployed when the car is stationary and hit by another car even if the motor is switched off. Therefore, even if the car 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 a collision 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 ignition device is set 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. 123) Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (wash by hand or at automatic seat washing stations). 124) The 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. 125) Do not affix rigid objects to the coat hooks or support handles. 126) The airbag does not replace seat belts but increases their efficiency. Furthermore, since front airbags are not deployed in low-speed frontal impacts, side impacts, rear shunts or roll-overs, the passengers are protected only by the seat belts which must therefore be fastened at all times. 127) Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on the door, on the windows or in the window bag area to prevent injury during deployment. 128) Never lean your head, arms or elbows out of the window. 135 STARTING AND DRIVING 136 STARTING AND DRIVING We have now reached the "heart" of the car: let's see how to use the car to its full potential.

The transmission must be in the P (Park) or N (Neutral) position. Press the brake to shift to a gear when the transmission is in position P (Park). NOTE The brake pedal must be pressed while shifting. Starting the engine 129) The gearbox must be in position P or N. Proceed as follows: fully depress the brake pedal without touching the accelerator; press the ignition device to take it to the START position. Hold it fully depressed for a couple of seconds. At the end of the procedure, an acoustic warning will be heard and the message "READY" will appear on the instrument panel display to indicate that the electric traction system of the car has started. When the "READY" message appears, the car is ready to go. P READY 75 % 216 POWER 0 km/h km RANGE 23° c 131 CHARGE NW 123456 km F0S1089 WARNING If the "READY" message does not appear on the instrument panel despite the correct start-up procedure, contact a Fiat Dealership. IMPORTANT If start-up is requested with the transmission in a position other than N without the brake pedal pressed, the display will show a dedicated message (see “Warning lights and messages” chapter in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section). In this case, repeat the starting manoeuvre, pressing the brake pedal. IMPORTANT If start-up is requested but the transmission is faulty, carry out the “Delayed start-up” procedure (see "Warning lights and messages" chapter in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section). Turn the ignition device to the START position for at least 7 seconds with the brake pressed to start the motor. The system will remain in “recovery” condition. If the engine does not start, contact a Fiat Dealership. Starting the motor with insufficiently charged electronic key battery If the ignition device does not respond when the ignition device button is pressed or the car doors must be unlocked using the metal insert supplied with the key, it could mean the battery of the electronic key may not be sufficiently charged. Therefore, the system does not detect the presence of the electronic key on board the car and displays a dedicated message. In this case, place the rear end of the key (on the side where the 500 logo is located) next to the moulding on the bottom of the console fig. 132 and press the start button. 132 F0S1225 137 STARTING AND DRIVING PEDESTRIAN ACOUSTIC WARNING SYSTEM The car is provided with a pedestrian acoustic warning system. This system uses different sounds to warn pedestrians of the approach of the car. The acoustic warning system is provided with a speaker located in the motor compartment. The system is automatically activated when a gear other than P (Park) is engaged and remains active as long as the car is travelling at a speed of 25 km/h or less. Any malfunction of the acoustic warning system is indicated by the symbol on the display. yellow ONE-SPEED GEARBOX The New 500 uses a one-speed gearbox to transmit the power developed by the electric motor. The one-speed gearbox is operated by push buttons instead of the traditional gear lever. The buttons (A) fig. 133 are located on the lower dashboard. 133 F0S1090 36) NOTE Hold the brake pedal pressed while changing from the P (Park) position. NOTE If all button LEDs are lit when the ignition device is in ENGINE position, contact a Fiat Dealership. 130) 131) 132) 133) 134) Transmission ratios Press required button to engage the gear. NOTE To select a gear, the brake pedal must be pressed. NOTE After selecting a gear, wait a few moments to allow the selected gear to be engaged before accelerating. P (PARK) Selecting P (Park) integrates the functionality of the parking brake by locking the transmission. It is advisable to start the car in this gear engaged. 138 Never try to engage P (Park) when the car is moving. Apply the parking brake when leaving the car in position P (Park). When parking on flat surfaces, you can first shift the transmission to P (Park) and then apply the parking brake. When parking on sloping roads, apply the parking brake before shifting the transmission to P (Park). For added safety, turn the front wheels towards the kerb. NOTE Refer to the gear position shown on the instrument panel display and check that it indicates P (Park). 135) 136) 137) 131) 138) 133) 134) R (Reverse) The car can be moved backwards in this position. Select position R (Reverse) only with the car at a standstill. N (Neutral) You can start the car with this gear engaged. Apply the parking brake and move the transmission to position P (Park) if you wish to exit the car. 139) D (DRIVE) Use this gear driving in towns and on motorways. Car movement To move the car, from position P press the brake pedal and, select the desired gear using the control panel (1) fig. 133 on the dashboard: D to move forwards or R to engage reverse. The display will show the gear engaged. In "NORMAL" driving mode, when the brake pedal is released, the car starts moving forwards or backwards ("creeping" effect). The accelerator should not be pressed in this case. Automatic shift to P function The function automatically put the transmission in P (Park) if there is any indication that the driver may leave the car while the transmission is in D (Drive), N (Neutral) or R (Reverse). Operation with the ignition device to the ENGINE position The Auto Park function is activated when the transmission is in position D (Drive), N (Neutral) or R (Reverse) and the following conditions are detected: Seat belt not fastened Brake pedal released Accelerator pedal released Driver's door open Car speed is below 3 km/h. Operation with the ignition device to the STOP position The Auto Park function is activated when the transmission is in position D (Drive), N (Neutral) or R (Reverse), the car speed is less than 3 km/h and the user requests the car to be turned off by turning the ignition device to the STOP position. Gear engagement inhibition This system prevents shifting the transmission from position P (Park) or N (Neutral) if the brake pedal has not been previously pressed. With ignition device in the ENGINE position: the brake pedal must be pressed in order to shift the transmission from position P (Park) to positions R, N or D; to shift the transmission from position N (Neutral) to positions R or D the brake pedal must be pressed. Stopping the engine The system automatically engages P (Park) when the car is shut down (ignition device in STOP position). To stop the engine at speeds higher than 2.5 km/h hold the button of the ignition device pressed or press it three times in a row within a few seconds. The ignition device is in the ENGINE position. WARNING 129) The brake servo is not active until the engine is started, so you would need to apply much more force than usual to the brake pedal. 130) Only engage a gear while keeping the brake pedal fully pressed. 131) The unexpected movement of the car could injure the occupants or people nearby. As a general rule, do not get out of the car when it is in "READY" mode. Before leaving the car, always apply the parking brake, put the transmission in the P (Park) position and turn the ignition device to the STOP position. In this mode, the transmission remains locked in position P (Park), thus preventing any accidental movement of the car. 132) When you get out of the car, always turn the ignition device to the STOP position and lock all the doors. 133) NEVER leave children unattended inside the car, let alone leave the car with the doors unlocked in a place that children can access easily. Children may seriously, or even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure that children do not inadvertently operate the electric parking brake, the brake pedal or the transmission button. 134) Do not leave the electronic key inside or near the car (or in a place accessible to children). A child could activate the electric window winders, other controls or even start the car. 135) Never use position P (Park) instead of the electric parking brake. Always engage the electric parking brake when parking the 139 STARTING AND DRIVING vehicle to avoid the acciental movement of the vehicle. 136) If the P (Park) position is not engaged, the car could move and injure people. Before leaving the car, make sure that the transmission is in position P and that the electric parking brake is engaged. 137) Putting the transmission to a position different from P (Park) or N (Neutral) without pressing the brake is dangerous. The car could quickly accelerate forwards or backwards. You risk losing control of your car and crash into something or someone. Only engage a gear while keeping the brake pedal fully pressed. 138) When you get out of the car, always remove the ignition key and lock all the doors. 139) Do not put the gear in N (Neutral) and do not stop the motor when driving on a downhill road. This type of driving is dangerous and reduces the possibility of intervening in the case of variation of the road traffic or surface. You risk losing control of your car and causing accidents. IMPORTANT 36) Failure to observe the following precautions can have serious consequences for the transmission. Put the transmission in the P (Park) position only when the car is completely stationary; engage R (Reverse) or disengage only when the car is completely stationary. Keep the brake pedal fully pressed before engaging any gear. 140 WHEN PARKED When parking and leaving the car, proceed as follows: with your foot on the brake pedal, put the transmission to position P and, if you are on a sloping road, leave the wheels steered. Before releasing the brake pedal, wait until P appears on the display; apply the electric parking brake and stop the motor; block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope. Do not leave the ignition device in the ENGINE position to prevent running down the 12V battery. IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car before having put the transmission in P. ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB) The electric parking brake (EPB) guarantees better use and optimal performance compared to a manually operated parking brake. The electric parking brake features a switch, located on the central tunnel (A) fig. 134, a motor with calliper for each rear wheel and an electronic control module. 134 F0S1091 IMPORTANT Always check that the electric parking brake is applied before leaving the car. IMPORTANT In addition to parking the car with the parking brake always engaged, the wheel steered, chocks or stones positioned in front of the wheels (when on a steep slope), you must always put the transmission in P (Park). WARNING Should the 12V battery of the car be faulty, to unlock the electric parking brake the battery must be replaced. The parking brake can be engaged in two ways: manually by pressing the switch on the central tunnel fig. 134; automatically in "Safe Hold" or "Auto Park Brake" conditions. Engaging the parking brake manually 140) 141) 142) Briefly pull the switch located on the central tunnel to manually engage the electric parking brake when the car is stationary. Noise may be heard from the rear of the car when engaging the electric parking brake. With the electric parking brake on the engaged, the warning light instrument panel and the LED on the switch turn on. A slight movement of the brake pedal may be detected when engaging the electric parking brake with the brake pedal pressed. WARNING With the EPB failure warning light on, some functions of the electric parking brake are deactivated. In this case the driver is responsible for brake activation and car parking in complete safety conditions. If, under exceptional circumstances, the use of the brake is required with the car in motion, keep the switch on the central tunnel pulled as long as the brake action is necessary. The warning light may switch on with the hydraulic system temporarily unavailable; in this case braking is controlled by the motors. The brake lights (stop) will also automatically switch on in the same way as for normal braking with the use of the brake pedal. Release the switch on the central tunnel to stop the braking action with the car in motion. If, through this procedure, the car is braked until a speed below 3 km/h is reached and the switch is kept pulled, the parking brake will definitively engage. WARNING Driving the car with the electric parking brake engaged, or using it several times to slow down the car, may cause severe damage to the braking system. Disengaging the electric parking brake manually The ignition device must be ENGINE position in order to manually release the parking brake. Moreover, you need to press the brake pedal, then press the switch on the central tunnel briefly. Noise may be heard from the rear of the car and a slight movement of the brake pedal may be detected during disengagement. Each automatic parking brake engagement can be cancelled by pressing the switch on the central tunnel and shifting the transmission to position P (Park) at the same time. After disengaging the electric parking brake, the warning light on the instrument panel and the LED on the switch turn off. If the warning light on the instrument panel remains on with the electric parking brake disengaged, this indicates a fault: in this case contact a Fiat Dealership. WARNING Never use position P (Park) instead of the electric parking brake.Always engage the electric parking brake when parking the car to prevent injury or damage caused by the unexpected movement of the car. ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE OPERATING MODES The electric parking brake may operate as follows: "Dynamic operating mode": this mode is enabled by pulling the switch continuously whilst driving; "Static engagement and release mode": with the car stationary, the electric parking brake can be activated by pulling the switch on the central tunnel once. 141 STARTING AND DRIVING 142 On the other hand, press the switch and the brake pedal at the same time to disengage the brake; "Drive Away Release": (where provided) the electric parking brake will automatically disengage with the driver side seat belt fastened and the detection of an action performed by the driver to move the car (forward gear or reverse gear); "Safe Hold": if the car speed is lower than 3 km/h and the transmission is not in P (Park) position and the driver intention of leaving the car is detected, the electric parking brake will automatically engage to hold the car in safety conditions; "Auto Park Brake": if the car speed is below 3 km/h, the electric parking break will automatically engage when the transmission is in P (Park) position. The LED on the switch located on the central tunnel fig. 134 switches on together with the warning light on the instrument panel when the parking brake is engaged and applied to the wheels. Each automatic parking brake engagement can be cancelled by pressing the switch on the central tunnel and shifting the transmission to position P (Park) at the same time. The mode can be managed using the menu of the Uconnect™ system (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section). SAFE HOLD It is a safety function that automatically engages the electric parking brake in the event of a dangerous condition for the car. If: the car speed is below 3 km/h; The transmission is not in the P (Park) position; the driver's seat belt is not fastened; the driver side door is open; no attempted operation of the brake pedal or of the accelerator pedal; the electric parking brake engages automatically to prevent car movement. The Safe Hold function can be temporarily disabled by pressing the switch located on the central tunnel and the brake pedal at the same time, with the car stationary and the driver side door open. Once disabled, the function will activate again when the car speed reaches 20 km/h or the ignition device is moved to STOP and then the ENGINE position. WARNING 140) 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 car is parked uphill. Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope. 141) Never leave children alone in an unattended car; make sure that when you move away from the car, you have the electronic key with you. 142) The electric parking brake must always be engaged when leaving the car. SPEED LIMITER (where provided) DESCRIPTION This device allows the speed of the car to be limited to values which can be set by the driver. The maximum speed can be set both with car stationary and in motion. The minimum speed that can be set is 30 km/h. When the device is active, the car speed depends on the pressure at the accelerator pedal, until the programmed speed limit is reached (see "Speed limit programming" paragraph). ACTIVATING THE DEVICE To activate the device press button (A) on the steering wheel fig. 135. 135 F0S1179 When the device is enabled, it is indicated by the "LIM" symbol being shown on the display along with the last speed set. If the electronic Cruise Control or Adaptive Cruise Control has been activated previously, button (A) fig. 135 must be pressed twice. The first press switches off the function activated previously; the second press activates the Speed Limiter. SPEED LIMIT PROGRAMMING The speed limit can be programmed without necessarily activating the device. To store a speed value higher than the displayed one, briefly press the SET + button. Each time the button is pressed, the speed increases by about 1 km/h while keeping the button pressed, the speed increases by 10 km/h. To store a speed value lower than the displayed one, press the SET – button. Each time the button is pressed, the speed decreases by about 1 km/h while keeping the button pressed, the speed decreases by 10 km/h. DEVICE ACTIVATION/ DEACTIVATION Device activation: press the SET + or SET – buttons. The activation of the device is indicated by the green "LIM" symbol on the display. Device deactivation: press the CANC button. The last set speed is crossed out and displayed in grey. Device reactivation: press the RES button. The last set speed will be restored. EXCEEDING THE PROGRAMMED SPEED By fully depressing the accelerator pedal, the programmed speed can be exceeded even with the device active (e.g. in the event of overtaking). The device is disabled until the speed drops below the set limit, after which it reactivates automatically. DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE To disengage the system press button (A) fig. 135. WARNING Activating the electronic Cruise Control or Adaptive Cruise Control function deactivates the device. Automatic off of the device The device switches off automatically in the event of a system failure and the grey "LIM" symbol appears on the display. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership. ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL This is an electronically controlled driving assistance device that allows the desired car speed to be maintained, without having to press the accelerator pedal. This 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 the device in town. The electronic Cruise Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering wheel. 143 STARTING AND DRIVING To ensure correct operation, the electronic Cruise Control is designed to deactivate if more than one function is operated simultaneously. In this case the system can be reactivated pressing button and setting the desired speed of the car. ACTIVATING THE DEVICE To activate the device press button (A) fig. 136. 143) 144) 145) 136 F0S1180 Activation of the device is indicated by the symbol on the instrument panel switching on and, on some versions, by a message on the display. On versions with Speed Limiter, if the device is activated, button must be pressed twice to activate the Cruise Control (because the first press deactivates the Speed Limiter, and the second press activates the Cruise Control). 144 The device cannot be turned on in either reverse or in neutral. WARNING It is dangerous to leave the device on when it is not used. There is a risk of inadvertently activating it and losing control of the car due to unexpected excessive speed. SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED Proceed as follows: operate the device (see the previous instructions); when the car has reached the desired speed, press button SET + (or SET –) and release it to activate the device. When the accelerator is released, the car will keep the selected speed automatically. If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accelerate simply by pressing the accelerator; when you release the pedal, the car goes back to the speed stored previously. When travelling downhill with the device active, the car speed may slightly exceed the stored one. WARNING Before pressing the SET + (or SET –) buttons, the car must be travelling at a constant speed on a flat surface. INCREASING / DECREASING SPEED Increasing speed Once the electronic Cruise Control has been activated, the speed can be increased by pressing button SET +. Keeping the button pressed, the set speed will increase until the button is released, then the new speed will be stored. Each time button SET + is pressed the set speed will be fine tuned. Decreasing speed With the device activated, the speed can be decreased by pressing button SET –. Keeping the button pressed, the set speed will decrease until the button is released, then the new speed will be stored. Each time button SET – is pressed the set speed will be fine tuned. WARNING Pressing the button SET + (or SET –) the speed is adjusted depending on the selected unit of measurement ("metric" or "imperial") set through the Menu of the instrument panel display or, depending on the versions, in the menu of Uconnect™ (see "Settings" in the "Vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section). WARNING On steeply sloping roads, the system may not be able to maintain the set speed, which may increase the speed of the car. It is, therefore, preferable to switch the device off under these conditions. The device keeps the speed stored even uphill and downhill. A slight variation in the speed on slight rises is completely normal. RECALLING THE SPEED With transmission operating in D (Drive), press and release the RES button to recall the previously set speed. DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE Pressing the CANC button or pressing the brake pedal as the car is slowing down deactivates the electronic Cruise Control without deleting the stored speed. The Cruise Control can also be deactivated if the electric parking brake (EPB) is activated or if the braking system intervenes (e.g. the ESC system) or in other particular conditions. The stored speed is deleted in the following cases: pressing button or switching off the motor; if there is a malfunction in the electronic Cruise Control. DEACTIVATING THE DEVICE The electronic Cruise Control is or deactivated by pressing button bringing the ignition device switch to STOP. WARNING 143) While driving with the device active, never move the gear lever to neutral. 144) In case of a malfunction or failure of the device, contact a Fiat Dealership. 145) The electronic Cruise Control can be dangerous if the system cannot keep a constant speed. In specific conditions speed may be excessive, resulting in the risk of losing control of the vehicle and causing accidents. Do not use the device in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or slippery roads. CO-DRIVER SYSTEM (where provided) 146) 147) 148) 149) 150) 151) 152) 153) 154) 155) 156) 157) 158) 159) 160) 161) 37) 38) 39) 40) 41) 42) 43) 44) 45) ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) WITH FOLLOW TO STOP (where provided) DESCRIPTION The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an electronic driver assist system that uses the camera located in the middle of the steering wheel fig. 137, to detect the presence of a vehicle close ahead. It combines the Cruise Control function with the ability to control the distance to the vehicle ahead. The system allows the car to be held at the desired speed without needing to press the accelerator. It also allows holding the distance set by the driver from the vehicle ahead. 145 STARTING AND DRIVING 146 ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATION To activate the system, press and release the button (A) fig. 138. A B 137 139 F0S1286 However, the driver is responsible for adapt the speed to the traffic, type of road and weather conditions. WARNINGS The system controls the speed of the vehicle to reach or hold the set speed. If the sensor detects a vehicle, the vehicle is adapted to the speed of the vehicle ahead while hold the distance and without exceeding the set speed. It is advisable to turn the system off in the following cases: driving in fog, heavy rain, snow, heavy traffic and in complex driving situations; driving near a bend (winding roads), icy, snowy, slippery roads or with steep slopes and descents; entering a turn lane or on a slip road; when circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed. 138 F0S1372 When the system is activated and ready for operation, a graphic indicating the "readiness" of the system (A) and a dedicated icon (B) depicted as illustrated in fig. 139 will appear on the display. The symbol (A) fig. 139 is grey with system enabled and turns white when the system is activate (set speed). F0S1152 WARNING It is dangerous to leave the system activated when it is not used. There is a risk of inadvertently activating it and losing control of the car due to unexpected excessive speed. ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION With the system active, press and release the button (A) fig. 138 to deactivate it. The display will show a dedicated message. SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED The system can only be set with the speed over 5 km/h (3 mph) and under 150 km/h (93 mph). NOTE For the Low Range version, the maximum speed of the ACC is limited to 135 km/h (84 mph). When the car reaches the desired speed, press and release the button SET + or SET - to set the speed to the current speed. The display will show the set speed. Then take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Press the accelerator pedal to make the car go faster than the set speed. While the accelerator pedal is pressed: a dedicated graphic fig. 140 with the symbol (A) flashing will appear on the display for a few seconds; A 140 F0S1363 the system will not be able to control the distance between the car and the vehicle ahead. In this case the speed will be determined only by the position of the accelerator pedal. The system regains control of the car as soon as the accelerator pedal is released. The system cannot be set: when pressing the brake pedal; when the brakes are overheated; when the electric parking brake is engaged; when the transmission in P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral); when the car speed is not within the settable speed range; when the ESC (or ABS or other stability control systems) are operating or have just operated; when the Autonomous Emergency Brake Control (AEB) system is braking automatically; when the Speed Limiter is active: press the button (A) fig. 138 to deactivate the Speed Limiter. Press the (A) button again to set the system to "ready" status; in case of failure of the system; when the motor is off; in case of blinding or obstruction of the front camera. In case of system set, the conditions described above also cause a cancellation or deactivation of the system with times that may vary according to the conditions. WARNING The device is not deactivated when speeds higher than those set are reached with the accelerator pedal pressed. In these conditions, the device may not work correctly and it is advisable to deactivate it. INCREASING/DECREASING OF SPEED After having set the system, the stored speed can be increased or decreased by holding the SET + and SET - button pressed. Press the SET + or SET - button once: the set speed will increase or decrease by 1 km/h (1 mph). Each subsequent press of the button will result in an increase or decrease of 1 km/h (1 mph). Hold the SET + or SET - button pressed: the set speed will increase or decrease in 10 km/h steps (or 5 mph) until the button is released. The set speed increase or decrease is shown on the display. WARNINGS When the SET – button is pressed to reduce the speed, the braking system intervenes automatically if the exhaust brake does not slow the car down sufficiently to reach the set speed. The system holds the set speed uphill and downhill; however a slight variation is entirely normal, particularly on steep gradients. SPEED VARIATION WITH ROAD SIGN (INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) The "Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control" system can be used to set a speed limit equal to that indicated on 147 STARTING AND DRIVING the road sign detected by the “Traffic Sign Recognition” system (see the respective paragraph in this section). When a new speed limit is recognised, the "Traffic Sign Information" system will suggest the new limit, which will be shown with a message on the instrument panel display. The driver can accept the new limit by pressing the RES button to set the Adaptive Cruise Control speed to that suggested by the road sign. The activation of the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control is indicated by the symbol on the display and the green circle around the speed limit sign. REACHING A STANDSTILL The system can decelerate the car to a standstill when the vehicle in front of it slows down and stops. For speeds below 60 km/h (36 mph) and if visibility permits, the system can detect stopped cars and slow down to a safe distance. Once the car is stopped, the function will be deactivated. The system can be restarted from speeds above 5 km/h (3 mph) and by pressing one of the SET+, SET- or RES buttons. If the system keeps the vehicle stationary for two minutes, the electric parking brake will activate and the system will be deactivated. 148 RECALLING THE SPEED Once the system has been cancelled by pressing the brake pedal or the CANC button but not deactivated by pressing button (A) fig. 138, simply press the RES button and take your foot off the accelerator pedal to recall a previously set speed. The system will be set to the last stored speed. WARNING The recall function must only be used if the road and traffic conditions so allow. Recalling an excessively high or low speed for the current traffic and road conditions could cause a sudden acceleration or a deceleration of the car. Failure to comply with these precautions may cause serious accidents and fatal injuries. SETTING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS 162) 163) 164) 165) The distance between your car and the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar (short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long), 4 bars (maximum) fig. 141. 141 F0S1078 The distance from the vehicle ahead is proportional to speed. The interval of time showing ithe safe distance with respect to the vehicle ahead remains constant and varies from 1 second (for the short distance 1-bar setting) to 2 seconds (for the maximum distance 4-bar setting). The set distance is shown on the display by means of a dedicated icon (or in the “Driver Assist” area). The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time the system is used. After the distance has been modified by the driver, the new distance will be stored also after the system is deactivated and reactivated. To decrease the distance Press and release the button to decrease the distance setting (B) fig. 138. The distance setting decreases by one bar (shorter) every time the button is pressed. Once the shortest distance has been reached, a further press of the button will set the longest distance. The set speed is held if there are no cars ahead. If a vehicle is detected ahead in the same lane, travelling at slower speed, will appears page fig. 141 and icon on the display (where provided). The system will automatically adjust the car speed to hold the distance setting regardless of the set speed. The car holds the set distance until: the vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed higher than the set speed; the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or the detection field of the Adaptive Cruise Control system sensor; the distance setting is changed; the Adaptive Cruise Control System is deactivated or switched off; If the driver does not press the accelerator pedal. WARNING The maximum braking force applied by the system is limited. The driver may always apply the brakes, if needed. WARNING If the system predicts that the braking level is insufficient to maintain the set distance, it signals the driver to pay attention when approaching the vehicle ahead by displaying an alert message on the display. An acoustic signal is also emitted. In this case, it is advisable to brake immediately as necessary to hold a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. WARNING The driver is responsible for ensuring that there are no pedestrians, other cars or objectives along the direction of the car. Failure to comply with these precautions may cause serious accidents and injuries. WARNING The driver is fully responsible for holding a safe distance from the vehicle ahead respecting the highway code in force in the respective country. OVERTAKING AID FUNCTION 166) The Adaptive Cruise Control system, when traffic conditions permit, allows additional acceleration to be given to the vehicle to facilitate overtaking by simply activating the direction indicator. This additional acceleration is provided as long as the distance to the vehicle to be overtaken is guaranteed. Once acceleration is perceived, the driver must make sure that the traffic and cars coming from behind allow it, and to make the lane change manoeuvre. Once the trajectory is clear of vehicles, Adaptive Cruise Control will regain control of the selected speed, or reduce it to maintain the desired distance from the vehicle ahead. NOTE The overtaking aid function is only available on the side where overtaking is permitted according to the highway code (left in countries with traffic on the right side of the carriageway, right in countries with traffic on the left side). SPEED REDUCTION ON BENDS The Adaptive Cruise Control system CAN decelerate slightly on bends to improve vehicle stability and comfort. The functionality can be a valid help in roundabouts or with gradual bends, faced with increasing curvature; it cannot compensate for sudden steering or in general medium/high lateral accelerations. However, the driver is responsible, depending on the traffic scenario, to apply the brake, where necessary, to further reduce the speed of the vehicle, 149 STARTING AND DRIVING ensuring its stability in sharp bends or descending radius. EXTENSION OF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL: CO-DRIVER The Adaptive Cruise Control system can work in conjunction with the Co-Driver system (see the respective paragraph in this chapter) to offer "Autonomous Level 2 Assistance". The Co-Driver will be able to maintain constant speed and distance, adaptable to the cars in front, and keep the car in the middle of the lane. NOTE The system is an aid for the driver, who must always pay full attention while driving. The responsibility always rests with the driver, who must take into account the traffic conditions in order to drive in complete safety. The driver is always required to pay attention to the road and keep his hands on the steering wheel. DEACTIVATION The system is deactivated and the set speed is cancelled if: the button (A) fig. 138 is pressed on the Adaptive Cruise Control; the Speed Limiter button is pressed; the starting system switch is in the STOP position; 150 the system is deactivated: when the CANC button is pressed; when the conditions shown in the “Setting the desired speed” paragraph occur; when the car reaches a stop behind a stopped vehicle. If these conditions occur while the system is decelerating with respect to a vehicle ahead, the system could continue the deceleration, if necessary, also after it is cancelled. NOTE The system always remembers the last distance desired and selected by the user. The system keeps the speed stored until you deactivate the system by pressing the (A) fig. 138 Adaptive Cruise Control button or turning the car off. SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION WARNING If the dedicated message is shown on the display, a condition limiting the system operation may have occurred. The possible reasons of this limitation are something blocking the camera view or a fault. In case of camera blinding (e.g. caused by low sun in front of the windscreen), wait until the light and glare conditions cease and allow the system to operate fully. If an obstruction is signalled, clean the area of the windscreen indicated in fig. 151 and check that the message has disappeared. When the conditions limiting the system functions end, this will go back to normal and complete operation. Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat Dealership. PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING The system may not work correctly in some driving conditions (see below): the driver must control the car at all times. Vehicle not aligned The system may not detect a vehicle travelling on the same lane but which is not aligned along the same direction of travel or a vehicle which is cutting in from a side lane. Sufficient distance from the vehicles ahead may not be guaranteed in these cases. The non-aligned vehicle can weave in and out of the driving direction causing the car to brake or accelerate unexpectedly. Steering and curves On bends fig. 142 with the system set, it could limit speed and acceleration to guarantee car stability even if no cars are detected ahead. When leaving the bend, the system resets the previously set speed. 142 the utmost attention at all times and be always ready to press the brakes if needed. F0S1181 143 WARNING In case of narrow bends, the performance of the system could be limited. In this case, it is advisable to deactivate the device. Using the system on gradient When driving on roads with variable gradient, the system may not detect the presence of a vehicle on the lane. The system performance be limited according to speed, load of the car, traffic conditions and gradient steepness. Lane change The system may not detect the presence of a vehicle until it is fully in your lane fig. 143. In this case, sufficient distance from the vehicle which is changing lane may not be guaranteed: it is advisable to pay F0S1182 Small cars Some narrow vehicles (e.g. bicycles and motorcycles fig. 144) travelling near the outer edges of the lane or which enter the lane from kerbside are not detected until they are fully in the lane. Sufficient distance from the cars ahead may not be guaranteed in these cases. Stationary objects and vehicles The system cannot detect the presence of stationary objects and vehicles if you are travelling at a speed exceeding 60 km/h (37 mph). For example, the system may not operate if the vehicle ahead leaves the lane and a car stopped on the lane ahead of if. Pay the utmost attention at all times and be always ready to press the brakes if needed. Objects and cars moving in opposite or crosswise direction The system cannot detect the presence of objects or cars travelling in opposite or crosswise direction fig. 145 and consequently will not be operated. 145 144 F0S1184 F0S1183 151 STARTING AND DRIVING CO-DRIVER SYSTEM WITH FOLLOW TO STOP Traffic Jam Assist 168) To activate the system, press button (A) fig. 146 on the steering wheel. To deactivate the system press the button again. 167) The Co-Driver system combines the functions of the Active Cruise Control (ACC) and lane centring logic to control the trajectory of the car holding it as close as possible in the middle of the lane and also managing speed. It is a driving assistance system that can be activated on all road types. The system uses information from the front camera to help you keep the car in the middle of the lane at a constant speed. OPERATION The system only works if the driver keeps his or her hands on the steering wheel. If the system detects that hands have been removed from the steering wheel, it will alert you of the need to put your hands back on the steering wheel (see following pages). WARNING The Co-Driver system can take a few seconds to activate once all conditions are met. During this time, a grey indication will appear on the instrument panel display and the system will be activated automatically as soon as all conditions are met, without any intervention by the driver. 152 ACTIVATION / DEACTIVATION 146 F0S1373 The following conditions must be met before the Co-Driver system turns on: the Co-Driver system must be switched on by pressing the button (A) fig. 146 on the steering wheel; the Adaptive Cruise Control device (ACC) must be on; the car speed must be between 60 and 150 km/h; no anomaly related to the camera must be present; the direction indicators must not be activated; no anomaly related to the system must be present; if the set speed is less than 60 km/h the Co-Driver system will not work; if the speed of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) device can be set to a higher value (top speed 150 km/h), the Co-Driver system is only available as long as the car speed is comprised between 60 and 150 km/h. Suspension conditions System operation is temporarily paused in the following cases: ACC system deactivation or inhibition (see paragraph the Adaptive Cruise Control function); if there are very tight bends; if the lines are not detected correctly; one of the two lines is broken or ruined; the sun is low and is dazzling the camera on the windscreen; if the left or right direction indicator is activated; if the driver intentionally changes lanes without switching on the direction indicator on the corresponding side; if there are system anomalies; if the car speed exceeds the maximum limit; if lateral acceleration is high. Automatic deactivation The Co-Driver system is automatically deactivated if you take your hands off the steering wheel for 45 seconds. WARNING When the Co-Driver is paused the related graphics in the dedicated area will turn grey. WARNING Hands on the steering wheel are detected by a capacitive sensor installed in it. When the suspension conditions are over, the Co-Driver will be available again without requiring any reactivation action by the driver. INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY The system status can always be viewed through a dedicated area on the instrument panel display. The system status is indicated by the symbol. colour of the If the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel, a series of warnings will appear on the instrument panel display to alert the driver that he needs to reposition his hands on the steering wheel. Acoustic signals will also be emitted. After a certain period of time, the CoDriver system will be disabled if the driver has not repositioned his or her hands on the steering wheel. When the system does not detect hands on the steering wheel for a few seconds, it will warn the driver by displaying a dedicated screen at the centre of the instrument panel display (see the description in the following pages). SYSTEM STATUS System active: The active and correctly operating system status is indicated by the following screen on the instrument panel display fig. 147 in the "Driver Assistance" menu. When the hands are removed from the steering wheel, the system does not deactivate automatically, but after a few seconds: some dedicated screens appear on the instrument panel display in sequence, to warn the driver to return his or her hands to the steering wheel (see the description below). 147 F0S1116 System active (hands removed from the steering wheel for a short time): As soon as you remove your from the steering wheel, this screen fig. 148 appears on the instrument panel display: in this case, the system remains active.

SYSTEM AVAILABILITY External factors and conditions may affect the proper operation of the CoDriver system. 154 The main ones are listed below: narrow, winding and curvy streets; poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.); front lights of incoming cars or direct sunlight or shade; damage or obstructions caused by mud, ice, snow, etc.; interference with other equipment that causes electromagnetic waves; presence of roadworks/road construction sites; if the indications given by the navigation system (where provided) of the Uconnect™ system are not yet ready and/or if the navigation system is recalculating the route. SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION The Co-Driver may have limited or reduced functionality when one of the following conditions occurs: The main ones are listed below: lane marking lines are not clear or in conditions of poor visibility (e.g. in heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.); the camera is damaged, covered or obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice, snow, etc.); when driving in the hills or on roads with narrow turns; near motorway toll-gates; when the motorway entrance or exit is more than 6 meters wide; if the camera is exposed to dazzling light (e.g. reflection or direct sunlight). CO-DRIVER SYSTEM WITH STOP&GO Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go (where provided) 169) DESCRIPTION The Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go is a driver assistance device which combines the Cruise Control functions with one for controlling the distance from the vehicle ahead. The system allows the car to be held at the desired speed without needing to press the accelerator. It also allows holding the distance set by the driver from the vehicle ahead. The system uses a radar sensor, located behind the front bumper and a camera, located in the middle area of the windscreen fig. 151, to detect the presence of a vehicle close ahead. ACTIVATION 168) To activate the device, press and release the button (A) fig. 152. A B 151 153 F0S1286 WARNINGS If the sensor does not detect any vehicle ahead, the device will maintain a fixed set speed. If the sensor detects a vehicle ahead, the device automatically intervenes by braking (or accelerating) slightly in order not to exceed the original set speed, so that the car keeps the preset distance, seeking to adapt to the speed of the vehicle ahead. It is advisable to turn the device off in the following cases: driving in fog, heavy rain, snow and in complex driving situations; driving near a bend (winding roads), icy, snowy, slippery roads or with steep slopes and descents; entering a turn lane or on a slip road; when circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed. 152 F0S1372 When the system is enabled and ready for operation, a graphic indicating the "readiness" of the system (A) and a dedicated icon (B) depicted as illustrated in fig. 153 will appear on the display. The symbol (A) fig. 153 is grey with system enabled and turns white when the system is activate (set speed). F0S1152 WARNING It is dangerous to leave the device activated when it is not used. There is a risk of inadvertently activating it and losing control of the car due to unexpected excessive speed. DEACTIVATION With the device active, to deactivate it press and release the button (A) fig. 152. SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED The desired speed can be set even when the vehicle is stationary, from 30 km/h (20 mph) up to 135 km/h (83 mph) for the "Low range" version or 150 km/h (93 mph) for the "High range" version. When the car reaches the desired speed, press and release the button SET + or SET - to set the speed to the current speed. The display will show 155 STARTING AND DRIVING 156 the set speed. Then take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Press the accelerator pedal to make the car go faster than the set speed. While the accelerator pedal is pressed: a dedicated message will appear on the display for a few seconds; the device will not be able to control the distance between the vehicle and the one ahead. In this case the speed will be determined only by the position of the accelerator pedal. The device will return to normal operation as soon as the accelerator pedal is released. The system cannot be set: when pressing the brake pedal; when the brakes are overheated; when the electric parking brake is engaged; when the transmission in P (Park), R (Reverse) or N (Neutral); when the ESC (or ABS or other stability control systems) are operating or have just operated; when the Autonomous Emergency Brake Control (AEB Control) system (where provided) is braking automatically; when the Speed Limiter is active: press the button (A) fig. 152 to deactivate the Speed Limiter. Press the (A) button again to set the system to "ready" status; in case of failure of the device; when the motor is off; on very steep slopes; in case of radar sensor obstruction: in this case, clean the sensor. Use a clean cloth for cleaning. Do not use solvents or abrasive paste. In case of system set, the conditions described above also cause a cancellation or deactivation of the system with times that may vary according to the conditions. WARNING The device is not deactivated when speeds higher than those set are reached with the accelerator pedal pressed. In these conditions, the device may not work correctly and it is advisable to deactivate it. INCREASING/DECREASING OF SPEED After having set the system, the stored speed can be increased or decreased by holding the SET + and SET buttons pressed. Press the SET + or SET - button once: the set speed will increase or decrease by 1 km/h (1 mph). Each subsequent press of the button will result in an increase or decrease of 1 km/h (1 mph). Hold the SET + or SET - button pressed: the set speed will increase or decrease in 10 km/h steps (or 5 mph) until the button is released. The set speed increase or decrease is shown on the display. WARNINGS By keeping the accelerator pedal depressed, the car can continue to accelerate beyond the set speed. In this case, press the SET + (or SET – ) button to set the speed to the current speed of the car. When the SET – button is pressed to reduce the speed, the braking system intervenes automatically if the exhaust brake does not slow the car down sufficiently to reach the set speed. The system holds the set speed uphill and downhill; however a slight variation is entirely normal, particularly on steep gradients. The device is switched off while driving if the brakes overheat. SPEED VARIATION WITH ROAD SIGN (INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL) The "Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control" system can be used to set a speed limit equal to that indicated on the road sign detected by the “Traffic Sign Recognition” system (see the respective paragraph in this section). When a new speed limit is recognised, the "Traffic Sign Information" system will suggest the new limit, which will be shown with a message on the instrument panel display. The driver can accept the new limit by pressing the RES button to set the Adaptive Cruise Control speed to that suggested by the road sign. The activation of the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control is indicated by the on the display and the symbol green circle around the speed limit sign. COMING TO A STOP AND RESTARTING The system can decelerate the car to a standstill when the vehicle in front of it slows down and stops. The system will automatically restart the car if the car comes to a stop and the vehicle in front restarts within 3 seconds. If the vehicle in front restarts after 3 seconds, the RES button or the accelerator pedal must be pressed to reactivate the system and restart. If the system keeps the car at a standstill for 2 minutes, the electric parking brake will activate and the system will be deactivated. NOTE The electric parking brake will be activated and the system will be deactivated at speeds close to stopping, if the driver unbuckles the seat belt or opens the door. cause serious accidents and fatal injuries. WARNING The driver must ensure that there are no pedestrians, vehicles or other obstacles in front of the car when the system is reactivated. Failure to comply with this precaution may cause serious accidents and fatal injuries. SETTING THE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS RECALLING THE SPEED Once the system has been cancelled by pressing the brake pedal or the CANC button but not deactivated by pressing button (A) fig. 152, simply press the RES button and take your foot off the accelerator pedal to recall a previously set speed. The system will be set to the last stored speed. Before returning to the previously set speed, bring the speed close to that value, then press the RES button and release it. WARNING The recall function must only be used if the road and traffic conditions so allow. Recalling an excessively high or low speed for the current traffic and road conditions could cause a sudden acceleration or a deceleration of the car. Failure to comply with these precautions may 162) 163) 164) 165) The distance between your car and the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar (short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long), 4 bars (maximum) fig. 154. 154 F0S1078 The distances from the vehicle ahead are proportional to speed. The interval of time with respect to the vehicle ahead remains constant and varies from 1 second (for the short distance 1-bar setting) to 2 seconds (for the maximum distance 4-bar setting). The set distance is shown on the display by means of a dedicated icon (A) fig. 155 (or in the “Driver Assist” area). 157 STARTING AND DRIVING The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time the device is used. After the distance has been modified by the driver, the new distance will be stored also after the system is deactivated and reactivated. A 155 F0S1363 To decrease the distance Press and release the button to decrease the distance setting (B) fig. 152. The distance setting decreases by one bar (shorter) every time the button is pressed. Once the shortest distance has been reached, a further press of the button will set the longest distance. The set speed is held if there are no cars ahead. If a vehicle shown on the instrument panel proceeds in the same lane, travelling at slower speed, an icon appears on the display (where provided). The device will automatically 158 adjust the car speed to hold the distance setting regardless of the set speed. The car holds the set distance until: the vehicle ahead accelerates to a speed higher than the set speed; the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or the detection field of the Adaptive Cruise Control device sensor; the distance setting is changed; the Adaptive Cruise Control device is deactivated/cancelled. WARNING The maximum breaking applied by the device is limited. The driver may apply the brakes in all cases if needed. WARNING If the system predicts that the braking level is insufficient to maintain the set distance, it signals the driver to pay attention when approaching the vehicle ahead by displaying an alert message on the display. An acoustic signal is also emitted. In this case, it is advisable to brake immediately as necessary to hold a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. WARNING The driver is responsible for ensuring that there are no pedestrians, other cars or objectives along the direction of the car. Failure to comply with these precautions may cause serious accidents and injuries. WARNING The driver is fully responsible for holding a safe distance from the vehicle ahead respecting the highway code in force in the respective country. OVERTAKING AID FUNCTION 166) The Adaptive Cruise Control system, when traffic conditions permit, allows additional acceleration to be given to the vehicle to facilitate overtaking by simply activating the direction indicator. This additional acceleration is provided as long as the distance to the vehicle to be overtaken is guaranteed. Once acceleration is perceived, the driver must make sure that the traffic and cars coming from behind allow it, and to make the lane change manoeuvre. Once the trajectory is clear of vehicles, Adaptive Cruise Control will regain control of the selected speed, or reduce it to maintain the desired distance from the vehicle ahead. NOTE The overtaking aid function is only available on the side where overtaking is permitted according to the highway code (left in countries with traffic on the right side of the carriageway, right in countries with traffic on the left side). SPEED REDUCTION ON BENDS The Adaptive Cruise Control system CAN decelerate slightly on bends to improve vehicle stability and comfort. The functionality can be a valid help in roundabouts or with gradual bends, faced with increasing curvature; it cannot compensate for sudden steering or in general medium/high lateral accelerations. However, the driver is responsible, depending on the traffic scenario, to apply the brake, where necessary, to further reduce the speed of the vehicle, ensuring its stability in sharp bends or descending radius. DEACTIVATION The device is deactivated and the set speed is cancelled if: the (A) fig. 152 button is pressed on the Adaptive Cruise Control; the Speed Limiter button is pressed; the ignition device switch is in the STOP position; The device is cancelled (the set speed and distance are stored): when the CANC button is pressed; when the conditions shown in the “Setting the desired speed” paragraph occur. If these conditions occur while the system is decelerating with respect to a vehicle ahead, the system could continue the deceleration, if necessary, also after it is cancelled or deactivated within the minimum speed settable on the system. SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION WARNING If the dedicated message is shown on the display, a condition limiting the system operation may have occurred. The possible reasons of this limitation are something blocking the camera view or a fault. In case of camera blinding (e.g. caused by low sun in front of the windscreen or in the conditions of fog or heavy rain), wait until the light and glare conditions cease and allow the system to operate fully. If an obstruction is signalled, clean the area of the windscreen indicated in fig. 151 and check that the message has disappeared. When the conditions limiting the system functions end, this will go back to normal and complete operation. Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat Dealership. PRECAUTIONS WHILE DRIVING The system may not work correctly in some driving conditions (see below): the driver must control the car at all times. Vehicle not aligned The system may not detect a vehicle travelling on the same lane but which is not aligned along the same direction of travel or a vehicle which is cutting in from a side lane. Sufficient distance from the vehicles ahead may not be guaranteed in these cases. The non-aligned vehicle can weave in and out of the driving direction causing the car to brake or accelerate unexpectedly. Steering and curves On bends fig. 156 with the system set, it could limit speed and acceleration to guarantee car stability even if no cars are detected ahead. When leaving the bend, the system tends to reset the previously set speed. 156 F0S1374 159 STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING In case of narrow bends, the performance of the system could be limited. In this case, it is advisable to deactivate the device. Using the system on gradient When driving on roads with variable gradient, the system may not detect the presence of a vehicle on the lane. The system performance be limited according to speed, load of the car, traffic conditions and gradient steepness. Lane change The system may not detect the presence of a vehicle until it is fully in your lane fig. 157. In this case, sufficient distance from the vehicle which is changing lane may not be guaranteed: it is advisable to pay the utmost attention at all times and be always ready to press the brakes if needed. 157 160 F0S1182 Small cars Some narrow vehicles (e.g. bicycles and motorcycles fig. 158) travelling near the outer edges of the lane or which enter the lane from kerbside are not detected until they are fully in the lane. Sufficient distance from the cars ahead may not be guaranteed in these cases. Objects and cars moving in opposite or crosswise direction The system cannot detect the presence of objects or cars travelling in opposite or crosswise direction fig. 159 and consequently will not be operated. 159 158 F0S1183 Stationary objects and vehicles The system cannot detect the presence of stationary objects and vehicles if you are travelling at a speed exceeding 60 km/h (37 mph). For example, the system may not operate if the vehicle ahead leaves the lane and a car stopped on the lane ahead of if. Pay the utmost attention at all times and be always ready to press the brakes if needed. F0S1184 CO-DRIVER SYSTEM WITH STOP&GO - Traffic Jam Assist (where provided) The system combines Active Cruise Control (ACC) functions and lane centring logic to control the trajectory of the car holding it as close as possible in the middle of the lane and also managing speed. It is a driving assistance system that can be activated on all road types. The system uses information from the front camera and radar to help you keep the car in the middle of the lane at a constant speed. If the event that the lane marking line is missing or not correctly recognised, the Co-Driver system may also use information from adjacent and preceding vehicles. This condition may occur in congested traffic, when the car in front and/or objects around the car obstruct the lane markings. In this case, the system can use the queues of cars in the traffic to define the driving trajectory. Alternatively, the system can use the "lock-on" strategy, which allows it to automatically follow the car in front. OPERATION The system only works if the driver keeps his or her hands on the steering wheel. If the system detects that hands have been removed from the steering wheel, it will alert you of the need to put your hands back on the steering wheel (see following pages). WARNING The Co-Driver system can take a few seconds to activate once all conditions are met. During this time, a grey indication will appear on the instrument panel display and the system will be activated automatically as soon as all conditions are met, without any intervention by the driver. 160 F0S1373 The following conditions must be met before the Co-Driver system turns on: the Co-Driver system must be switched on by pressing the button (A) fig. 160 on the steering wheel; the Adaptive Cruise Control device (ACC) must be on; the car speed must be between 0 and 150 km/h; no anomaly related to the camera or the radar must be present; the road lane width must be between 2.7 metres and 4.2 metres; the direction indicators must not be activated; no anomaly related to the system must be present. ACTIVATION / DEACTIVATION To activate the system, press button (A) fig. 160 on the steering wheel. To deactivate the system press the button again. Suspension conditions System operation is temporarily paused in the following cases: ACC system deactivation or inhibition (see paragraph the Adaptive Cruise Control function); if there are very tight bends; one of the two lines is broken or ruined; the sun is low and is dazzling the camera on the windscreen; if the left or right direction indicator is activated; if the driver intentionally changes lanes without switching on the direction indicator on the corresponding side; when there is no surrounding traffic and there are no horizontal markings or they cannot be detected; if there are system anomalies; if the car speed exceeds the maximum limit; if lateral acceleration is high; poor visibility (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.); Automatic deactivation The system is deactivated if you take your hands off the steering wheel for 45 seconds. WARNING When the Co-Driver is paused the related graphics in the dedicated area will turn grey. 161 STARTING AND DRIVING 162 WARNING Hands on the steering wheel are detected by a capacitive sensor installed in it. When the suspension conditions are over, the Co-Driver will be available again without requiring any reactivation action by the driver. INDICATIONS ON THE DISPLAY The system status can always be viewed through a dedicated area on the instrument panel display. The system status is indicated by the symbol. colour of the If the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel, a series of warnings will appear on the instrument panel display to alert the driver that he needs to reposition his hands on the steering wheel. Acoustic signals will also be emitted. After a certain period of time, the CoDriver system will be disabled if the driver has not repositioned his or her hands on the steering wheel. When the system does not detect hands on the steering wheel for a few seconds, it will warn the driver by displaying a dedicated screen at the centre of the instrument panel display (see the description in the following pages). SYSTEM STATUS System active: The active and correctly operating system status is indicated by the following screen on the instrument panel display fig. 161 in the "Driver Assistance" menu. When the hands are removed from the steering wheel, the system does not deactivate automatically, but after a few seconds: some dedicated screens appear on the instrument panel display in sequence, to warn the driver to return his or her hands to the steering wheel (see the description below). 161 F0S1116 System active (hands removed from the steering wheel for a short time): As soon as you remove your from the steering wheel, this screen fig. 162 appears on the instrument panel display: in this case, the system remains active. If the driver has not returned his or her hands to the steering wheel within a few seconds, this screen fig. 163 will appear on the instrument panel display. 162 F0S1117 163 F0S1118 Active system (hands removed from the steering wheel for a long time): If you do not place your hands on the steering wheel, the following screen will appear on the display of the instrument panel, fig. 164. An acoustic warning will sound also in this case. If you remove your hands from the steering wheel, a countdown will begin which will result in the activation of visual and audible alerts (see the description provided in the "Co-Driver with Stop&Go - Traffic Jam Assist" section in this chapter). Furthermore, the system will initiate a minimum risk manoeuvre to bring the car to safety if no hands are detected. The Adaptive Cruise Control system will braking slightly 23 seconds after your hands have been removed from the steering wheel to warn you and encourage you to regain control of the car. If the driver does not regain control of the vehicle after a further 3 seconds, the system will brake again lightly. Subsequently, the system will automatically braking to bring the vehicle to a stop if you still do not put your hands back on the steering wheel persists. The hazard warning lights will be activated as soon as the system activates the automatic braking. When the vehicle is at a standstill, the system will unlock the doors (if previously locked) and keep the hazard lights on. If you regain control of the vehicle during the minimum risk manoeuvre, placing your hands on the steering wheel or pressing the accelerator pedal will cause the system to behave normally and the minimum risk manoeuvre will be aborted. 164 F0S1119 When the Co-Driver system is active, Lane Control (where provided) is temporarily paused. When the Co-Driver system is not active, Lane Control (where provided), if previously activated, is still available. For more information on the Lane Control system, see the “Driving assistance systems” chapter in the "Safety" section. SYSTEM LIMITED OPERATION The Co-Driver may have limited or reduced functionality when one of the following conditions occurs: The main ones are listed below: lane marking lines are not clear or in conditions of poor visibility (e.g. in heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.); either the camera or radar are damaged, covered or obstructed (e.g. by mud, ice, snow, etc.); when driving in the hills or on roads with narrow turns; near motorway toll-gates; when the motorway entrance or exit is more than 6 meters wide; if the camera is exposed to dazzling light (e.g. reflection or direct sunlight). WARNING 146) Pay the utmost attention while driving at all times and be always ready to press the brakes if needed. 147) The system is an aid for the driver, who must always pay full attention while driving. The responsibility always rests with the driver, who must take into account the traffic conditions in order to drive in complete safety. The driver must always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. 148) The system is an aid for car driving, it DOES NOT warn the driver about incoming cars outside of the detection areas. The driver must always maintain a sufficient level of attention to the traffic and road conditions and for controlling the trajectory of the vehicle. 149) The device is not activated in presence of pedestrians, oncoming vehicles in the opposite direction of travel or moving in the crosswise direction and stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing in a queue or a broken down vehicle). 163 STARTING AND DRIVING 164 150) The device cannot take account of road, traffic and weather conditions and conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog). 151) The device does not always fully recognise complicated driving conditions which could cause incorrect or nonexisting determination of the safe distance to be held. 152) When driving on two-way roads where there is no lane dividing centre line (e.g. on country roads), the use of the ACC and Co-Driver systems is strongly discouraged as this system could detect the entire carriageway as single-lane dividing lines. 153) Do not place any objects on the steering wheel (e.g. steering wheel covers of any type or material) which could interfere with the capacitive hand detection sensor on the steering wheel. 154) Many unpredictable situations can arise, affecting the performance of CoDriver system. The driver must be ready to react immediately and take control of the car in place of Co-Driver system. 155) If the car approaches a bend that is too tight with respect to the current speed, the Co-Driver system turns off. The driver must therefore be ready to immediately regain control of the car at any time. To avoid this situation it is important that the car speed set does not exceed the current road speed limit. 156) The Co-Driver system uses a hands on steering wheel detection sensor: the driver must keep his hands on the steering wheel at all times. If the hands are removed from the steering wheel for a certain period of time, the system disengages. 157) When using Co-Driver system, hold the steering wheel and consider the road conditions and surrounding traffic. The driver must therefore be ready to immediately regain control of the car at any time. Failure to observe these instructions can cause severe injuries with even lethal consequences. 158) The Co-Driver system is an aid for the driver, who must always pay full attention while driving. The responsibility always rests with the driver, who must take into account the traffic conditions in order to drive in complete safety. The driver must always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front. 159) If the windscreen must be replaced due to scratches, chipping or breakage, contact exclusively a Fiat Dealership. Do not replace the windscreen on your own, risk of malfunction! It is advisable to replace the windscreen if it is damaged in the area of the camera. 160) Driving the car on urban routes could significantly change the sensitivity of the system, due to the limited and/or lack of vertical and horizontal signs and variable traffic conditions. 161) External factors and conditions may affect the proper operation of the Co-Driver system: damage or obstructions caused by mud, ice, snow, etc., damaged or misaligned bumpers, interference with other equipment that causes electromagnetic waves. 162) The maximum breaking applied by the device is limited. The driver may apply the brakes in all cases if needed. 163) If the device predicts that the level of braking is not sufficient to maintain the set distance, the word “BRAKE!” or a dedicated message on the instrument panel display warns the driver that the vehicle ahead is too close. An acoustic signal is also emitted. In this case, it is advisable to brake immediately as necessary to hold a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. 164) The driver is responsible for ensuring that there are no pedestrians, other vehicles or objectives along the direction of the vehicle. Failure to comply with these precautions may cause serious accidents and injuries. 165) The driver is fully responsible for holding a safe distance from the vehicle ahead respecting the highway code in force in the respective country. 166) The device detects the direction of traffic automatically when the car passes from left-hand traffic to right-hand traffic. In this case, the overtaking assist function is only active when the reference vehicle is overtaken on the right. The additional acceleration is activated when the driver uses the right direction indicator. In this condition, the device no longer provides the overtaking assist function on the lefthand side until it determines that the car has returned to left-hand traffic conditions. 167) The device cannot apply the maximum braking force: the car will not be stopped completely. 168) It is dangerous to leave the device on when it is not used. There is a risk of inadvertently activating it and losing control of the car due to unexpected excessive speed. 169) The device can take the car to a standstill but the driver must always be ready to apply the brakes, if necessary. IMPORTANT 37) The system may have limited operation or not work at all in weather conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, low sun, blinded camera, thick fog, heavy snow. 38) The camera on the windscreen must not be covered with stickers or any other object. 39) Operation can be adversely affected by any structural change made to the car, such as a modification to the front geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load than the standard load of the car. 40) Incorrect repairs in the zone where the camera is mounted may interfere with its field of vision and reduce its performance (e.g. application of fillers or glues to remove scratches). Go to a Fiat Dealership for any operation of this type. 41) Do not tamper with nor operate on the camera on the windscreen. In the case of damage, contact a Fiat Dealership. 42) Do not wash with high-pressure jets in the bumper lower area: in particular do not operate on the system's electrical connector. Do not use solvents or abrasive paste. 43) Be careful in case of repairs and painting in the zone around the sensor. In the event of a frontal impact the sensor may automatically deactivate and display a warning to indicate that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even without a malfunction warning, deactivate the system operation if you think that the position of the radar sensor has changed (e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as during parking manoeuvres). In these cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the radar sensor realigned or replaced. 44) Do not use the Co-Driver off-road, where the road surface is not well defined or on roads where the road markings are missing (e.g. work in progress, roads with temporary tarmac). The system is designed for use on perfectly tarmacked roads only. 45) In case of strong variations in light (e.g. tunnel entrances and exits), the sensor may not function correctly due to temporary blinding and therefore the system may not be active. PARK ASSIST SYSTEM VERSIONS WITH 3 SENSORS (where provided) 170) 46) 47) 48) The parking sensors, located in the rear bumper fig. 165, detect the presence of any obstacles and warn the driver about them, through an acoustic warning and, where provided, visual warnings on the instrument panel display. 165 F0S1154 System activation The system is automatically activated when reverse is engaged. System deactivation The system is automatically deactivated whenever a gear other than reverse is engaged. Acoustic warning When reverse is engaged and there is an obstacle behind the car, an acoustic warning with variable frequency is activated: increases as the distance between the car and the obstacle decreases; becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops if the distance increases; is constant if the distance between the car and the obstacle is unchanged. If this situation concerns the exterior sensors, the signal will stop after approximately 3 seconds to avoid, for 165 STARTING AND DRIVING 166 example, indications in the event of manoeuvres along a wall. If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the nearest one is considered. Warning on display The warnings regarding the Park Assist system are shown on the instrument panel display only if the "Acoustic warning and display" item in the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect™ system is selected (see "Settings" in the section "Vehicle mode" in the "Multimedia" section). In addition to the acoustic warning, the system indicates the presence of an obstacle in the rear area by displaying a single arc blinking in one of the possible areas, in accordance with the distance of the object and the position in relation to the car. In general, the car is closer to the obstacle when a single flashing arc is shown on the display and the acoustic warning becomes continuous. If several obstacles are detected simultaneously in the rear area, the display will show all of them, regardless of the area in which they were detected. The colour on the display depends on the distance from and position of the obstacle. Fault indication Parking sensor faults, if any, will be indicated by a message on the display (see description in the "Warning lights and messages" chapter in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section). General warnings When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles that may be above or under the sensor. Objects close to the car are not detected under certain circumstances and could therefore cause damage to the car or be damaged. Some conditions may influence the performance of the parking system: reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the parking assistance system performance could be due to the presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint, on the surface of the sensor; the sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle ("echo interference") due to mechanical interference, for example when washing the car, in rain (strong wind), hail; the signals sent by the sensor can also be altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle; the performance of the system can be influenced by the position of the sensors, e.g. by changing the setup of the car (due to wear of shock absorbers or suspensions), replacing the tyres with others of different sizes, travelling with a laden car, installing specific set-ups to lower the car; the presence of adhesives on the sensors. Therefore, take care not to place stickers on the sensors. VERSIONS WITH 11 SENSORS The parking sensors, located in the front bumper fig. 166 e fig. 167 (one per side) and rear bumper fig. 168, detect the presence of any obstacles and warn the driver through an acoustic warning and, where provided, visual warnings on the instrument panel display. 166 F0S1185 WARNING The Park Assist system keeps its activation/deactivation status in memory. After manually deactivating it, it remains in this condition until it is reactivated by a button, even after the car has been switched off and then on again. Manual system activation/deactivation 167 F0S1270 169 168 F0S1186 F0S1215 To deactivate the system, press button (A) fig. 169 located on the left side of the dashboard (left-hand drive versions). The change from active system to deactivated and vice versa is always indicated by an appropriate message on the instrument panel display. The LED on the button indicates the system on or off status: The LED is off when the system is active; The LED is on when the system was manually deactivated by the user or in a fault or temporary disable condition. If the off button is pressed with the system faulty, the LED flashes for about 5 seconds, then it stays off. Activation/deactivation of acoustic and visual signals With the system active, the acoustic and visual signals are activated automatically in the following cases: when the transmission is in position (D) and an obstacle is detected; when the transmission is in reverse (R); when the transmission is in neutral (N) and an obstacle is detected with the car in motion. The acoustic and visual signals are deactivated automatically in the following cases: when the transmission is in position (D) or in neutral (N) and the car exceeds a speed of about 13 km/h; when the transmission is in reverse (R) and the car exceeds a speed of approximately 11 km/h (this will cause the LED on the on/off button to illuminate); when the transmission is in position (N) and the car is at a standstill; 167 STARTING AND DRIVING 168 when the transmission is in parking position (P). Acoustic warning When the sensors detect an obstacle within the trajectory of the car, an acoustic warning is activated with a frequency that increases as the distance from the obstacle decreases and then becomes a continuous tone when this distance becomes less than about 30 cm. The acoustic warning is interrupted in the following situations: when external sensors detect an obstacle at a constant distance (example: manoeuvring along a wall); if car is at a standstill with the transmission in a position other than reverse (R); when the obstacle is not within the trajectory of the car. If the sensors detect several obstacles at the same time, both in the front and rear area, the acoustic warning of the obstacle in the nearest trajectory is reproduced. When the system emits an acoustic warning, the volume of the Uconnect™system, if activated, is automatically lowered. The acoustic indications are only activated when the obstacle is on the trajectory of the car and so there is a real risk of collision. Visual warnings ("Display warning", see below) are always given to the driver, even when the obstacle is not in the trajectory of the car and will be of a different colour depending on whether it has been detected inside or outside the trajectory. In case of failure of the car audio system, the acoustic warnings will be provided by the buzzer of the instrument panel and will not be directional (the acoustic warning will not be from the side where the obstacle has been detected). Warning on display The warnings regarding the system are shown on the instrument panel display only if the "Acoustic warning and display" item in the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect™ system is selected (see "Settings" in the section "Vehicle mode" in the "Multimedia" section). The system indicates the presence of an obstacle by displaying a single arc in one of the possible areas, in accordance with the distance of the object and the position in relation to the car. As you approach an obstacle within the front or rear coverage area, the display will show a single arc in the corresponding area, either flashing or steady. The colour depends on the distance and position of the obstacle inside or outside the trajectory of the car. An obstacle detected in a continuous tone area is always marked with a red arc. If several obstacles are detected simultaneously in the front and rear area, the display will show all of them, regardless of the area in which they were detected. Fault indication Parking sensor faults, if any, will be indicated by a message on the display (see description in the "Warning lights and messages" chapter in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section). Messages on the display In case of system failure an acoustic warning is emitted and the display shows a dedicated message for about 5 seconds. If the display shows messages requiring the front or rear sensor cleaning, make sure that the outer surface and the underside of the bumper is free of dirt (e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). After performing this check, place the ignition device in STOP position, then turn it to the ENGINE and check whether the messages are no longer displayed. If messages are still displayed, contact a Fiat Dealership. General warnings When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles that may be above or under the sensor. Objects close to the car are not detected under certain circumstances and could therefore cause damage to the car or be damaged. Some conditions may influence the performance of the parking system: reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the parking assistance system performance could be due to the presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint, on the surface of the sensor; the sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle ("echo interference") due to mechanical interference, for example when washing the car, in rain (strong wind), hail; the signals sent by the sensor can also be altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle; the performance of the system can be influenced by the position of the sensors, e.g. by changing the setup of the car (due to wear of shock absorbers or suspensions), replacing the tyres with others of different sizes, travelling with a laden car, installing specific set-ups to lower the car; the presence of adhesives on the sensors. Therefore, take care not to place stickers on the sensors. 46) WARNING 170) Parking and other potentially dangerous manoeuvres are, however, always the driver’s responsibility. When performing these operations, always make sure that there are no other people (especially children) or animals on the route you want to take. 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. IMPORTANT 46) 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 should be washed using clean water with the addition of car 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. 47) Have interventions on the bumper in the area of the sensors carried out only by a Fiat Dealership. Interventions on the bumper that are not carried out properly may compromise the operation of the parking sensors. 48) Only have the bumper repainted or any retouches to the paintwork in the area of the sensors carried out by a Fiat Dealership. Incorrect paint application could affect the operation of the parking sensors. SIDE DISTANCE WARNING SYSTEM (where provided) The Side Distance Warning system has the function of detecting the presence of side obstacles using the sensors located in the front bumper fig. 170 (one per side) and rear bumper fig. 171, and of warning the driver through an acoustic warning and, where provided, visual warnings on the instrument panel display. 170 F0S1270 169 STARTING AND DRIVING 171 F0S1288 ACTIVATION/ DEACTIVATION The system can operate only after driving a short distance and if the car speed is between 0 and 13 km/h. The system can be activated/deactivated via the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect™ system (see the Multimedia section for further information). ACOUSTIC WARNING If there is an obstacle at the side of the vehicle, an acoustic warning is emitted and the signal varies as the distance of the obstacle from the bumper varies. The frequency of the acoustic warning: increases as the distance between the car and the obstacle decreases; becomes continuous when the distance between the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops if the distance increases; 170 is constant if the distance between the car and the obstacle is unchanged. The acoustic warning is interrupted after about 3 seconds if the car is stationary or manoeuvring along a wall. If the sensors detect several obstacles at the same time, both in the front and rear zones the acoustic warning of the obstacle in the nearest trajectory is reproduced. When the system emits an acoustic warning, the volume of the Uconnect™system, if activated, is automatically lowered. The acoustic indications are only activated when the obstacle is on the trajectory of the car and so there is a real risk of collision. Visual warnings ("Warnings on the display", see below) are always given to the driver, even when the obstacle is not in the trajectory of the car and will be of a different colour depending on whether it has been detected inside or outside the trajectory. In case of failure of the car audio system, the acoustic warnings will be provided by the buzzer of the instrument panel and will not be directional (the acoustic warning will not be from the side where the obstacle has been detected). WARNINGS ON THE DISPLAY The indications regarding the Side Distance Warning system are shown on the instrument panel display only if the respective item in the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect™ system is selected (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section). The system indicates the presence of an obstacle by displaying a single arc in one of the possible areas, in accordance with the distance of the object and the position in relation to the car. If the obstacle is detected in the right or left side area, a single flashing arc will be displayed as the obstacle approaches, in addition to an acoustic warning. If several obstacles are detected simultaneously in the side area, the display will show all of them, regardless of the area in which they were detected. In general, the car is closer to the obstacle when a single or several flashing arcs are shown on the display and the acoustic warning becomes continuous. The colour of the arches shown on the display according to the distance and position of the obstacle inside or outside the trajectory of the car. An obstacle detected in a continuous tone area is always marked with a red arc. GENERAL WARNINGS FAULT INDICATION Parking sensor faults, if any, will be indicated by the switching on of the symbol on the instrument panel together with the message on the display (see description in the "Warning lights and messages" chapter in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section). Some conditions may influence the performance of the Side Distance Warning system: reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the parking assistance system performance could be due to the presence of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint, on the surface of the sensor; the sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle ("echo interference") due to mechanical interference, for example when washing the car, in rain (strong wind), hail; the signals sent by the sensor can also be altered by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic brake systems of trucks or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle; the performance of the Side Distance Warning system can be influenced by the position of the sensors, e.g. by changing the set-up of the car (due to wear of shock absorbers or suspensions), replacing the tyres with others of different sizes, travelling with a loaded car, installing specific set-ups to lower the car; the presence of stickers on the sensors can adversely affect the correct operation of the system. Therefore, take care not to place stickers on the sensors. MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY If the system detects a failure, a dedicated message is shown on the display for about 5 seconds. If the display shows messages requiring the front or rear sensor cleaning, make sure that the outer surface and the underside of the bumper is free of dirt (e.g. snow, mud, ice, etc.). After performing this check, turn the ignition device in STOP position, then turn it to the ENGINE position and check whether the messages are no longer displayed. If messages are still displayed, contact a Fiat Dealership. 49) 50) IMPORTANT 49) 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 should be washed using clean water with the addition of car 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. 50) Only have the bumper repainted or any retouches to the paintwork in the area of the sensors carried out by a Fiat Dealership. Incorrect paint application could affect the operation of the parking sensors. 171 STARTING AND DRIVING TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION The TSR (Traffic Sign Recognition) system is a driver assistance system that alerts the user to the most plausible road limits. It is able to recognise both unconditional speed limits and those in rain, snow and fog (shown only when they are valid). Where available, a speed limit of these types represents the applicable road limit, always visible at the top of each screen fig. 172. 172 F0S1364 Road limits in other categories (e.g. time restrictions, exit signs, etc.) and the prohibition of overtaking are only visible in the "Driver Assist" screen of the instrument panel (see the "Display" chapter in the "Knowing the instrument panel" section). 172 NOTE The rain, fog or snow type limits are only displayed if these conditions are likely to occur, i.e. if the windscreen wipers (in case of rain), the fog lights/fog lights (in case of fog) or the windscreen wipers with low external temperature (in case of snow) are activated. The Traffic Sign Recognition system is automatically active when the car is started. Using the "Settings" menu of the Uconnect™ system the user can: deactivate the system by removing the check mark from the relevant menu item select the type of signalling when the detected road limit is exceeded (off, visual, visual and acoustic signalling). See the "Uconnect™" chapter in the "Multimedia" section for more information. If Speed Limiter or Adaptive Cruise Control is active, the applicable road limit (unconditional or rain/snow/fog type) is made available and by pressing the RES button can be accepted as a speed for Intelligent Speed Assist or alternatively for Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (fig. 173). 173 F0S1189 The recognition of valid road limits depends very much on road conditions, the positioning of signs, visibility conditions and various other factors. The system supplies and reminds the driver of the most plausible road limit. The TSR system cannot provide an applicable speed limit in the following cases: if an end-of-limit sign is recognised and if the navigator (where provided) is unable to provide a valid limit on that stretch of road. The symbol appears on the display. in case of system fault or unavailability, the symbol appears on the display. NOTE In some cases, the system when may show this symbol recalculating the route by the navigation system (where provided). With Uconnect™ without navigation system The TSR system uses the camera, located in the central area of the windscreen fig. 174 and reminds the user of the last road limit recognised by the camera. 174 F0S1286 NOTE Without a navigator, the system cannot provide: the implicit limits (e.g. the general speed limit on motorways). In these cases the system can show the last road sign encountered (e.g. the speed limit of the entrance ramp); in general, the limit in force for a road where a speed limit sign was not previously encountered and correctly recognised. After travelling a certain distance, the road limit symbol turns grey to indicate that it is no longer considered reliable by the system. Upon recognition of a new sign, the TSR symbol will become coloured again. WARNING In the absence of a navigator, the system cannot recognise the unit of measurement of the country you are travelling in, but only the numerical value of the road sign encountered along the road. The speed limit suggested and offered to Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control (IACC) systems (where active) is therefore intended according to the unit of measurement set by the user on the instrument panel display. Therefore, for the ISA and the IACC to be of practical help in complying with the limits in force, the driver must set the unit of measurement consistent with the country in which they are travelling. With Uconnect™ with navigation system When the navigator is present, the TSR system integrates the detections made by the camera with the information provided by the navigation system. Therefore, it can provide the implicit limits (e.g. the general speed limit on motorways) and to supplement with maps the limitations of recognition of road signs on the camera alone. The navigator tells the system of the unit of measurement in force in the country in which you are travelling and converts the value consistently with the unit of measurement selected by the user. In this way, the speed limitation suggested by the ISA system or the speed offered by the IACC system will always be correct, regardless of the unit of measurement chosen by the user. The system can display the shape of the signs consistently with the current shape of the country in which you are travelling. Using the information contained in the navigator, the system can recognise motorway, urban and non-urban scenarios and to use the limits provided by the navigator to provide the most plausibly accurate speed limit. In addition, the system can recognise turns and provide, where necessary, the limit detected by the navigator in place of that recognised by the camera. 173 STARTING AND DRIVING 174 INTELLIGENT SPEED ASSIST The "Intelligent Speed Assist" system can be used to set a speed limit on the "Speed Limiter" system equal to the one detected on the road signs by means of the "Traffic Sign Recognition" system, signalled to the driver on the instrument panel display. The minimum speed that can be set is 30 km/h (20 mph). The "Intelligent Speed Assist" system can be activated if the following systems are active: Speed Limiter (see the chapter in this section) Traffic Sign Recognition (see the chapter in this section) When the "Intelligent Speed Assist" system recognises a new road sign, it will suggest the new speed limit to the driver with a specific message and dedicated alerts depending on whether the road sign is higher (fig. 175) or lower (fig. 176) than the current speed stored by the Speed Limiter. Consider both unconditional speed limits and those valid in rain, snow or fog to be valid for speed limitation. 90 70 km/h D 75 % POWER 90 216 km RANGE 23° C 123456 km 175 F0S1187 70 90 km/h D 75 % POWER 70 216 km RANGE 23° C 176 123456 km F0S1188 You can confirm by pressing the RES button the speed limit setting equal to the suggested sign. Once the speed limit provided by the "Traffic Sign Recognition" system has been acquired as the new Speed Limiter value, the activation of Intelligent Speed Assist is indicated by the symbol on the display and the relevant road sign is shown surrounded by green. SYSTEM DEACTIVATION The system is deactivated under the following conditions: when the Traffic Sign Recognition system is deactivated; when the Speed Limiter system is deactivated; when the Traffic Sign Recognition system shows a new speed limit which is not confirmed by the driver; when the Traffic Sign Recognition system shows the end of the speed limit; when the Traffic Sign Recognition system cannot display any speed limit. EXCEEDING THE PROGRAMMED SPEED By fully depressing the accelerator pedal, the programmed speed can be exceeded even with the "Intelligent Speed Assist" system active (e.g. in the event of overtaking). The system is disabled until the speed drops below the set limit, after which it activates again automatically. PARKVIEW® REAR BACK UP CAMERA DESCRIPTION 171) 51) The camera is located on the boot tailgate fig. 177. 177 F0S1193 Camera activation/deactivation Every time reverse is engaged, the display fig. 178 shows the area around the car, as seen by the rear camera. 178 F0S1274 The images are shown on the display together with a warning message. After shifting from position R (Reverse) to position D or N, the camera image will continue to be displayed for 10 seconds if the dedicated function in the Uconnect™ system settings is active (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section). The image will cease to be displayed before 10 seconds have elapsed if any of the following conditions occur: car speed is higher than 13 km/h; transmission in the P (Park) position; ignition device in the STOP position; press the graphic button on the Uconnect™ system display, which is shown on the camera image whenever the transmission is not in reverse position. NOTE The displayed image may look a bit distorted. SYMBOLS AND MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY Indications on the display Guideline display can be activated by acting on the settings of the Uconnect™ system (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section). If activated, the grid is positioned on the image to highlight the width of the car and the expected reversing path in accordance with the steering wheel position. A superimposed central broken line indicates the centre of the car to facilitate parking manoeuvres. The various coloured areas indicate the distance from the rear of the car. The table below shows the approximate distances for each area fig. 178: Area Distance from the rear of the car Red (A) 0 - 30 cm Yellow (B) 30 cm - 1 m Green (C) 1 m or more Messages on the display If the tailgate is raised, the camera will not detect any obstacle in the area behind the car. A dedicated warning message will appear on the display. Closing the door will restore proper camera operation and the warning message on the display will disappear. IMPORTANT NOTES WARNING In some circumstances, such as with ice, snow or mud on the 175 STARTING AND DRIVING surface of the camera, the camera sensitivity may be reduced. WARNING In some special circumstances (e.g. after long periods of inactivity or after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery), when activating the rear camera during Uconnect™ system initialisation, the guidelines and warning messages may not be displayed correctly; at the end of this phase, they will be automatically restored. WARNING If the tailgate is to be repainted following to repairs, make sure the paint does not get in contact with the camera. WARNING When parking, take the utmost care over obstacles that may be above or under the operating range of the camera. WARNING 171) Parking and other potentially dangerous manoeuvres are, however, always the driver’s responsibility. While carrying out these manoeuvres, always make sure that no people (especially children) or animals are in the area concerned. The camera is an aid for the driver, but the driver must never allow 176 his/her attention to lapse during potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even those executed at low speeds. Always keep a slow speed, so as to promptly brake in the case of obstacles. IMPORTANT 51) It is vital, for correct operation, that the camera is always kept clean and free from any mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to scratch or damage the camera while cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths. The camera must be washed using clean water, with the addition of vehicle shampoo if necessary. In washing stations which use steam or high-pressure jets, clean the camera quickly, keeping the nozzle more than 10 cm away from the sensors. Also, do not apply stickers to the camera. DRIVING TIPS ENERGY CONSUMPTION REDUCTION Below are some useful tips that allow you to achieve a reduction in energy consumption of the high-voltage battery and a consequent increase in range. Car maintenance Checks and operations should be carried out in accordance with the "Service Schedule" (see the "Maintenance and care" chapter). Tires Check the tyre pressures at least once every four weeks: if the pressure is too low, electrical energy consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher. Unnecessary loads Do not travel with an overloaded luggage compartment. The weight of the car and its trim greatly affect electrical energy consumption and stability. Roof rack/ski rack Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof when they are not used. These accessories lower aerodynamic penetration and adversely affect electrical energy consumption levels. Electric devices Use electrical devices only for the amount of time needed. The heated rear window, windscreen wipers and heater fan require a considerable amount of energy; increasing the current uptake increases electrical energy consumption. Climate control system Using the climate control system will increase electrical energy consumption: use standard ventilation when the temperature outside permits. Devices for aerodynamic control The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic control may adversely affect air drag and electrical energy consumption levels. DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADS Acceleration Abrupt acceleration on a snowcovered, wet or otherwise slippery road surface can cause the drive wheels to shift uncontrollably to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs due to the different grip of the front drive wheels on the road surface. 172) Traction On wet or slippery roads, a liquid film may be formed between the tyre and the road surface. This is the well-known aquaplaning phenomenon that can make the possibility of controlling and stopping the car almost null and void. To reduce this risk, observe the following precautions: Reduce speed during thunderstorms or on slippery roads. Reduce speed when there is standing water or puddles on the road. Replace the tyres when the tread wear indicators begin to become visible. Make sure the tyres are inflated correctly. Maintain sufficient distance between your car and the car in front to avoid accidents in the event of a sudden stop. CROSSING FLOODED STRETCHES OF ROAD Driving on flooded roads with water more than a few inches/centimetres deep will require extra caution to ensure safety and prevent damage to your car. Water moving, rising 173) Stagnant shallow water Although the car can cross flooded stretches of road with shallow water depth, note the following warnings and cautions before doing so. 52) 53) 54) 55) 56) DRIVING STYLE Top speed Energy consumption considerably increases as speed increases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of electrical energy consumption and emissions. Acceleration Accelerating violently will greatly affect electrical energy consumption and emissions. Acceleration should be gradual. CONDITIONS OF USE Traffic and road conditions Heavy traffic with fast acceleration causes high electrical energy consumption. Winding mountain roads and rough road surfaces also adversely affect consumption. TRANSPORTING PASSENGERS Warnings WARNING It is extremely dangerous to leave children in a parked car when the temperature outside is very high. The heat inside the passenger compartment may have serious, or even fatal, consequences. 177 STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING Never travel in the internal load compartment. In the event of an accident, anyone inside the boot would be at greater risk of serious or even fatal injury. WARNING Ensure that all the occupants of the car wear their seat belts correctly and that any children are positioned correctly on the dedicated child restraint systems. TRANSPORTING ANIMALS Comply with the regulations on transportation of animals of the country you are driving in. WARNING 172) Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Uneven grip can cause sudden deviations of the front wheels. You could lose control of the car and crash. Accelerate slowly and carefully in all situations of poor grip (ice, snow, wet, mud, scattered sand, etc.). 173) Do not cross roads or flooded routes with moving and/or rising water (as can happen during a heavy storm). Moving water can deteriorate the road surface and cause the car to become bogged down. In addition, moving or rising waters can drag the car quickly. Failure to comply with these warnings may result in serious injury 178 or death to the driver, passengers and any passers-by. CHARGING 174) IMPORTANT 52) Always check the depth of the flooded section before crossing it. Never cross stretches where the water depth exceeds the lower part of the wheels of the car. 53) Check the condition of the flooded road surface and any obstacles on the route before fording the flooded section. 54) Do not exceed a speed of 8 km/h while crossing in order to minimise the effect of water displacement. 55) Crossing flooded sections can damage transmission components. After crossing a flooded section, always check the car fluids (i.e. transmission fluid, coolant, etc.) for any traces of contamination (i.e. any milky or foamy appearance of the fluid). Stop driving the car in the presence of apparently contaminated liquids to avoid further damage. This damage is not covered by the new car warranty. 56) Crossing of flooded sections also limits braking capacity, resulting in longer braking distances. Therefore, after crossing, drive slowly and repeated but delicately press the brake pedal so that the braking surfaces dry out progressively. 57) 58) 59) 60) 61) 62) 63) 64) 65) Before charging the high voltage battery, it is recommended to turn the ignition device to STOP in order to obtain a charge until full in the shortest period possible. WARNING The brake calliper lock is activated during the charging procedure: unlocking will be carried out automatically at the end of the charging procedure.

NOTE Regardless of state of charge, the battery must be replaced every 5 years by a Fiat dealership. EMERGENCY CALL EU eCall The car is equipped with an on-board assistance function designed to provide support in the event of accident and/or emergency (SOS). The emergency call, also known as "eCall", which is required by law in the countries of the European Union (EU eCall) based on the emergency number 112, can be used to call for help quickly in dangerous situations. The eCall EU emergency call activates the voice call to the Operations Centre dedicated to emergency calls (112) with simultaneous activation of the transmission of the car data and geo-location. The EU eCall service is a public service of general interest and free of charge. The EU eCall function can be activated: Automatically, in the event of a major collision recorded by the device by means of the presence of sensors aboard the car. Manually, holding the SOS button (A) located on the ceiling light fig. 218 pressed (for longer than 2 seconds). 218 F0S1198 After automatic or manual activation by pressing the SOS button, the function will send the car data to the Operations Centre, including the geo-location data of the data, and a voice call will be initiated with an operator. If the EU eCall function does not work, the fault in the system will be indicated on the instrument panel display. Go as soon as possible to a Fiat Dealership to have the function repaired. The EU eCall service using a SIM card mounted in the car. The provision of the services presupposes the proper operation and availability of the mobile phone network of the SIM card. The EU eCall function is activated with: ignition device in the ENGINE position; ignition device in the STOP position. The EU eCall is available in the STOP position for 10 minutes after the ignition device is switched from the ENGINE position to STOP. This condition is only valid for cars equipped with SOS call in accordance with the legal regulations in the countries where it applies. Once activated automatically (where provided) or manually by pressing the corresponding button, the EU eCall function will send the position data of the car to the Operations Centre and stablish a voice call with an operator. NOTE If the EU eCall function does work, the fault in the system will be indicated on the display. Go as soon as possible to a Fiat Dealership to have the function repaired. NOTE The correct operation of the EU eCall function will be guaranteed only by a good network coverage. Privacy: the location (GPS) of the car can never be deactivated because it is indispensable for the eCall service. Furthermore, deactivating the positioning of the car, performed by activating "Privacy Mode" ("Geolocation OFF") in the "Settings" menu items of the Uconnect™ system will make other services - other than the one described here - unavailable (for more details see "Settings" in the"vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section). WARNING The icon at the top of the Uconnect™ display indicates that the geo-location function is active (ON). When geo-location is on, the car position is tracked to enable the functions that require it. When geo-location is off, the car position is only tracked by the navigation, safety, insurance and driver assistance systems (where provided). To deactivate this function, see "Settings" in the "Vehicle mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia" section). AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY CALL The automatic emergency call system is only available if the car is in READY ON status ("READY" symbol on instrument panel). The system makes an automatic emergency call if certain conditions are met, e.g. an airbag is deployed. The flashing green light located on the SOS button (A) fig. 218 on the front ceiling light will indicate that the system is trying to make the emergency call. The fixed green light will indicate that the call has been established. Interrupting the call The automatic emergency call cannot be interrupted by the user but will only be interrupted by the operator of the Emergency Operations Centre. MANUAL EMERGENCY CALL To make the emergency call manually make sure that the instrument panel is on ("READY" symbol on the instrument panel). Press the SOS call button on the front ceiling light for about 2 seconds (A) fig. 218. The green light located at the SOS button will flash and then become fixed once the connection has been made with an operator of the Operations Centre responsible for emergency calls (number 112). The green light will go out when the call is interrupted. Interrupting a call If the SOS call button is pressed by mistake, it is possible to press it again within 10 seconds to cancel the operation. After 10 seconds, only the operator of the Operations Centre can interrupt the call. If you are able to speak to the operator, do so through the car audio to provide additional information about the request for help. If the system is unable to establish the voice call, or the line disconnects due to insufficient coverage, EU eCall 213 IN AN EMERGENCY service will try to call the Operations Centre again for 5 minutes. If the Operations Centre needs to contact the car again, the system can receive, for up to 120 minutes from the ending of the call with the operator, an incoming call, which will be accepted automatically. Until the end of 120 minutes, the system will be completely dedicated to the management of the emergency in progress, therefore it will not be able to provide any connectivity service. LED signalling / colours Green light In flashing mode: this indicates that the emergency call has been activated, whether it was made manually or automatically. In fixed mode: this indicates that contact has been established with the Emergency Operations Centre operator. Off: this indicates that the emergency call has ended. Red light This indicates a fault in the EU eCall system with the impossibility to make an emergency call or with the possibility to do so with limitations. Go to a Fiat dealership as soon as possible when this light is red. 214 Uconnect Box SYSTEM BATTERY The Uconnect Box system is provided with an independent battery that allows the operation of some connected services even if the 12V battery of the car is disconnected. The system will warn the user of the need to replace this battery by displaying a dedicated message on the display of the Uconnect™ system (where provided) and by means of a notification via mobile app (where provided). Go to a Fiat dealership as soon as possible. NOTE Failure to replace the battery and, consequently, failure to observe the warnings provided by the system could affect or entirely prevent service operation. NOTE Regardless of state of charge, the battery must be replaced every 5 years by a Fiat dealership. EU eCall SYSTEM FAULTS If the EU eCall system detects a malfunction, this is indicated by the red light on the ceiling light and a dedicated icon and/or message on the instrument panel display. The system through this icon and/or message will suggest to the user to have the battery checked, in case of low level of charge or malfunction and will inform him about the current system update and the status of the call (in progress, failed, etc.). If a fault is present, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. Privacy - Information on personal data ("Data") processing The geo-location (GPS) function of the car is always active and can never be deactivated for the EU eCall service, even when the "Privacy Mode" system is activated ("Geo-location OFF"). Data processing is carried out in accordance with current European legislation (EU Regulation 2016/679 also known as "GDPR"). When the call is connected, the following data will be automatically transmitted to the Operations Centre: Identification of the data packet sent. (The operator may request an updated data package during the call) car Identification Number Type of traction (electric, petrol, Diesel, LPG, etc.) Date, time and minute when the call was made Call type: Manual (via SOS button) or Automatic (following a collision) Vehicle type (car or van) Type of traction (electric, petrol, Diesel, LPG, etc.) Reliability of the sent position (depending on the condition of the GPS signal at the time of the call) Location relative to the time of the call. If the call is made from a location where the GPS position is available, the position of the car will be sent at the start of the call; if the GPS signal is not available, e.g. inside a tunnel, the last available position will be sent Two positions before the main position sent and the direction of travel of the car. Data processing is strictly limited to the sole purpose of making emergency calls to 112, the single European emergency number. The recipients of the Data processed through EU eCall are the emergency call collection centres that are the first designated by the competent Authorities of the country in whose territory the vehicle is located to receive and process eCalls to the single European emergency number 112. The EU eCall system is designed to ensure that the Data in the system memory is not available outside the system before an eCall is activated. The EU eCall system, in normal operation, is not traceable and cannot be monitored at all times. It ensures that data is automatically and continuously erased from the internal memory of the system. The car geo-location data car are constantly overwritten in the internal memory of the system to store at most the last three positions of the car, necessary for the normal operation of the system. The data protocol of the EU eCall system activities is kept only for the time necessary to manage the eCall emergency call and in any case for no more than 13 hours from the time the eCall emergency call was initiated. FCA Italy S.p.A. shall retain the geo-location data relating to the position of the VEHICLE - recorded at the time of the accident - for the period deemed strictly necessary to provide this Service. In addition, the Data may be retained by FCA for a longer period to deal with any disputes related to the provision of the Service and to ascertain, exercise or defend the rights of FCA in judicial and/or extrajudicial proceedings.

For this reason, Fiat has planned a series of checks and services at fixed distance and/or time intervals, as described in the Service Schedule. To keep the efficiency of the car in tiptop condition, in the following Service Schedule pages a few additional checks are listed that should be carried out more frequently with respect to the normal scheduled service deadline. Scheduled Servicing is offered by Fiat Dealerships according to fixed time or kilometres/miles intervals. 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. IMPORTANT NOTES The scheduled service deadlines are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out may invalidate the warranty. We advise sharing any doubts regarding the car’s proper operation with your Fiat Dealership, before waiting for the next scheduled service deadline. SERVICE SCHEDULE WARNING Once you have carried out the last intervention in the table, continue with the scheduled servicing, maintaining the frequency indicated in the plan by marking each operation with a dot or dedicated note. Warning: simply restarting the maintenance from the start of the plan may cause the allowed interval to be exceeded for some operations!

( ) Recommended operations ( ) Mandatory operations 238 REGULAR CHECKS Every 1,000 km/600 mi or before long journeys, check and top up the following, if necessary: traction system coolant level; NOTE The motor coolant level must be checked when the motor is cold and must range between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir. If the level is under the MIN level, go to a Fiat Dealership. Do not attempt to open the cap yourself to avoid burns and/or damage to the cooling system and electronic components. Topping up and filling operations must be carried out by qualified personnel at Fiat Dealership using the appropriate equipment for vacuum filling. brake fluid level; windscreen washer fluid level; tyre inflation pressure and condition; operation of lighting system (headlights, direction indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.); operation of windscreen washer/wiper system and positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper blades. You are advised to use PETRONAS LUBRICANTS products, which have been designed and produced specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Capacities” in the “Technical specifications” section). DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR If the car is mainly used in one of the following particularly harsh conditions: dusty roads; short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km / 4-5 mi) at sub-zero external temperatures; in the event of a long period of inactivity; perform the following inspections more frequently than shown on the Service Schedule: check front disc brake pad condition and wear; check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, cleanliness and lubrication of linkage; visually inspect conditions of: electric motor, transmission, brake pipes and hoses, rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/bushes, etc.); check the state of charge and fluid level (electrolyte) of the 12V battery; check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter. 239 MAINTENANCE AND CARE CHECKING LEVELS 232) 233) 234) 85) 244 F0S1087 A. Motor coolant B. Brake fluid C. 12V battery D. Windscreen washer fluid WARNING 232) Never smoke while working in the engine compartment: gas and inflammable vapours may be present, with the risk of fire. 233) Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when the engine is hot: you may get burned. Remember that the fan may start up if the engine is hot: this could injure you. Scarves, ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts. 234) Do not operate in the engine compartment while the vehicle is charging or when the connector on the charging port is plugged in. 240 IMPORTANT 85) The use of products with specifications other than those indicated above could cause damage to the engine not covered by the warranty. 241 MAINTENANCE AND CARE COOLING SYSTEM FLUID The traction system coolant level must be checked when the motor is cold and must range between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir. If the level is under the MIN level, go to a Fiat Dealership. Do not attempt to open the cap yourself to avoid burns and/or damage to the cooling system and electronic components. Topping up and filling operations must be carried out by qualified personnel at Fiat Dealership using the appropriate equipment for vacuum filling. WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER FLUID Check fluid level through the reservoir. If the liquid is too low, lift reservoir cap (D) (see previous pages) and add the fluid described in In the section "Technical specifications". The windscreen washer reservoir must be filled with the liquids provided for this purpose. The use of any other liquid can compromise the operation of the reservoir pump. After topping up, close cap (D), making sure it is correctly locked. 235) 242 BRAKE FLUID Check that the fluid is at the maximum level (the fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX mark). If the fluid level in the reservoir is too low, undo reservoir cap (B) (see the previous pages) and add the fluid described in the "Technical specifications" section. Note Carefully clean the cap of the reservoir (B) and the surrounding surface. Take great care to ensure that impurities do not enter the reservoir when the cap is opened. Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less. WARNING Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid must be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified on the "Service Schedule". 236) 237) 86) WARNING 235) 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. 236) 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. 237) The symbol on the reservoir identifies synthetic brake fluids, distinguishing them from the mineral type. Use of mineral type fluids will irreparably damage the braking system’s special rubber seals. IMPORTANT 86) Prevent brake fluid, which is highly corrosive, from coming into contact with painted parts. Should it happen, immediately wash with water. 12V BATTERY The car is fitted with a lowmaintenance 12V battery: no electrolyte top-ups with distilled water are needed in standard conditions of use. WARNING It is forbidden to disconnect the 12V battery. For 12V battery replacement, contact a Fiat Dealership. WARNING Do not use the 12V battery of the car to charge the 12V battery of the another car. The battery power is insufficient for this operation, with the risk of damage to the car. INSPECTING THE CHARGE AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL The operations must be carried out as described in this Owner Handbook only by specialised technicians. Topping must be carried out by specialised personnel at a Fiat Dealership. 238) 239) 12V BATTERY REPLACEMENT WARNING For battery replacement, contact a Fiat Dealership. 240) 241) 87) 6) USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE 12V BATTERY To avoid draining your 12V battery and make it last longer, observe the following instructions: when you park the car, ensure that the doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to prevent any lights from remaining on inside the passenger's compartment; switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is however equipped with a system which switches all internal lights off automatically; do not keep accessories (e.g. radio, hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on for a long time; before performing any operation on the electrical system, disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal; completely tighten the battery terminals. The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to the "Car inactivity" chapter in the "Starting and driving" section if the car is left parked for a long time. If after buying the car, you want to install electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.) or accessories influencing the electrical supply requirements, contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel will suggest the most suitable devices from Lineaccessori MOPAR® and evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the electric system in the car is able to support the required load, or if it should be integrated with a more powerful 12V battery. Since some of these devices continue to consume electricity even when the motor is off, they gradually run down the battery. RECHARGING THE 12V BATTERY 242) WARNING If the charge level remains under 50% for a long time, the 12V battery is damaged by sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency at start-up. Never charge the 12V battery using: an external battery charger; a battery from another car. Contact a Fiat Dealership. 243 MAINTENANCE AND CARE WARNING 238) Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep open flames away from the battery and do not use objects that might create sparks: risk of explosion and fire. 239) Using the battery with low fluid will irreparably damage the battery and may cause an explosion. 240) Always wear appropriate goggles to protect your eyes when working on or near the conventional battery. 241) Any operation concerning the 12V battery ( removal, disconnection, etc.) must be carried out by a specialised professional. Contact a Fiat Dealership. 242) Do not attempt to recharge a frozen battery: first it must be thawed, otherwise there is a risk of explosion. If freezing has occurred, the battery should be checked by specialised technicians to make sure that the internal elements are not damaged and that the body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking poisonous and corrosive acid. IMPORTANT 87) Incorrect installation of electric and electronic devices may cause severe damage to your car. After purchasing your car, if you wish to install any accessories (anti-theft, etc.), go to a Fiat Dealership, which will suggest the most suitable devices and advise you whether a higher capacity battery needs to be installed. 244 IMPORTANT 6) Batteries contain substances which are very harmful for the environment. It is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership for battery replacement. RUBBER HOSES As far as the maintenance of the brake system and cooling system rubber hoses is concerned, follow the "Service Schedule" in this section carefully. Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with possible leaks. Careful checking is therefore necessary. BRAKES Depending on the version/market, the car may be equipped with mechanical wear detectors for the brake pads: one for each wheel assembly. When the brake linings are close to wearing out, pressing the brake pedal will generate a slight squeal: this lasts for about 100 km (the mileage varies with the driving style and route). In this case, it is still possible to continue driving, with caution. However, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the worn brake pads changed. REPLACING THE WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WIPER BLADES WIPER BLADES Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn. In any case, it is advisable to replace them approximately once a year. A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades: if the temperature falls below zero, make sure that ice has not frozen the rubber to the glass. Use a de-icing product to release it if required; remove any snow from the glass: in addition to protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor and overheating; do not operate the windscreen and rear window wipers on dry glass. 243) 244) RAISING THE WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES Lift the windscreen wiper arm and position the blade so that it forms a 90° angle with the arm. REPLACING WIPER BLADES Proceed as follows: lift up the windscreen wiper arm (A) fig. 245 and position the blade so that it forms a 90° angle with the arm; press the button (A) and extract from the arm (B) the blade (C); insert the new blade making sure it is locked into place. 245 REPLACING THE REAR WINDOW WIPER BLADE Proceed as follows: raise the cover (A) fig. 246 and remove the arm from the car, undoing the nut (B) that fixes it to the pivot pin; correctly position the new arm and tighten the nut fully; lower the cover. 247 F0S1333 The jets should be directed at about 1/3 of the height from the top edge of the windscreen fig. 247. WARNING In versions with a sunroof, make sure that the sunroof is closed before operating the front jets. 246 F0S1273 WINDSCREEN WASHER NOZZLES If there is no jet of fluid, firstly check that there is fluid in the reservoir (see the "Checking levels" chapter in this section). Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged; use a needle to unblock them if necessary. The screen washer jets can be oriented by adjusting the nozzle angles. REAR WINDOW WASHER NOZZLE The rear window washer jets are fixed. The nozzle holder is located above the rear window fig. 248. F0S1272 245 MAINTENANCE AND CARE 246 RAISING THE CAR A B C 88) If the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership which is equipped with workshop lifts and jack arms. IMPORTANT 248 F0S1334 WARNING 243) Driving with worn windscreen/rear window wiper blades is a serious risk, because visibility is reduced in bad weather. 244) If the window needs to be cleaned, make sure the device is turned off or the ignition device is in the STOP position. 88) For versions equipped with side-skirts, pay particular attention when positioning the lift arms at the workshop. WHEELS AND TYRES 245) 246) 247) 248) Check the pressure of each tyre approximately every two weeks and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and cold. It is normal for the pressure to increase when the car is used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see the "Wheels" chapter in the "Technical specifications" section. Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 249: 249 F0S1279 A normal pressure: tread evenly worn. B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges. C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre. The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws in force in the country where you are driving. IMPORTANT NOTES As far as possible, avoid sharp braking, screech starts and violent shocks against pavements, potholes or other hard obstacles. Driving for long stretches over uneven roads can damage the tyres; periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular tyre tread wear. Go to a Fiat Dealership if required; avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres; if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim, suspension and steering system; tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks in the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In any event, have the tyres checked by specialised personnel if they have been fitted for longer than 6 years; in the case of replacement, always fit new tyres, avoiding those of unknown origin; if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve; to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres, it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the car to avoid inverting the direction of rotation; avoid travelling with partially or completely deflated tyres as this can compromise safety and damage the tyres beyond repair. WARNING 245) Remember that the road holding qualities of your car also depend on correct tyre pressures. 246) If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may overheat and be severely damaged as a result. 247) Do not switch tyres from the right­hand side of the car to the left­hand side, and vice versa. 248) Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at temperatures higher than 150°C. The mechanical features of the wheels could be compromised. CAR INACTIVITY If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, observe the following precautions: park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-ventilated premises and slightly open the windows; check that the parking brake is not engaged and put the transmission in position P; check the state of charge of the 12V battery every 30 days; clean and protect the painted parts using protective wax; clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special compounds available commercially; sprinkle talcum powder on the windscreen and rear window wiper rubber blades and lift them off the glass; cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet, paying particular care not to damage the painted surface by dragging any dust that may have accumulated on it. Do not use compact plastic sheets which do not allow humidity to evaporate from the surface of the car; disable the alarm system of the car (where provided); inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard specified pressure and check it at intervals; do not drain the cooling system; any time the car is left inactive for two weeks or more, operate the climate control system for at least 5 minutes, setting external air and with fan set to maximum speed. This operation will ensure appropriate lubrication for the system, thus minimising the possibility of damage to the compressor when the system is operated again; take the high-voltage battery to a charge level close to 100%. The amount of charge of the highvoltage battery may gradually decrease when the car is not used. Therefore, avoid long stays with a charge state close to zero. If possible, monitor the state of charge and prevent it from reaching excessively low levels. Follow these warnings even for longer stays of less than a month (a few weeks). 247 MAINTENANCE AND CARE 248 BODYWORK PROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS The main causes of corrosion are the following: atmospheric pollution salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid climates); seasonal environmental conditions. The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is also not to be underestimated. On your car, Fiat has adopted the best manufacturing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork against corrosion. These include: painting products and systems which give the car particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion; use of galvanised (or pretreated) sheet metal, with high resistance to corrosion; spraying of underbody, motor compartment, wheel arch interiors and other parts with highly protective wax products; spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function in the more exposed points: underdoor, inner wing, edges, etc.; use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of moisture which could favour the formation of rust inside. BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due to rust of any original element of the structure or bodywork. For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the Warranty Booklet. PRESERVING THE BODYWORK Paintwork 89) Paintwork does not only serve an aesthetic purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet metal. You are advised to touch up abrasions and scratches immediately to prevent rust formation. Use only original paint products for touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identification plate” in the “Technical Specifications” section). Normal care for paintwork consists of washing the car; how often depends on the conditions and environment where the car is used. For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads are spread with salt, it is advisable to wash the car more frequently. To correctly wash the car, proceed as follows: remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to it if the car is washed in an automatic system; if high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash the car, keep a distance of at least 40 cm from the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration. It should be remembered that the build up of water can damage the car over a period of time; wash the bodywork using a low pressure jet of water; wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge; rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather. Dry the less visible parts with special care, such as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where water may stagnate more easily. The car should not be taken to a closed area immediately, but left outside so that residual water can evaporate. Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork. Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car. Where possible, do not park the car under trees; the resinous substances that many species release give the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rusting processes. WARNING Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. 7) Automatic car washes - Tips 90) 91) Before entering a car wash Adopt the following procedure to ensure the handling of the vehicle inside the car wash: open the driver's door and leave it open; take the ignition device to the ENGINE position; press the brake pedal; take the one-speed transmission to N; release the electric parking brake; release the brake pedal; leave the ignition device in the ENGINE position, exit the car and close the driver's door. 249) Versions with matt paintwork These versions have exclusive matt paintwork which requires special care for its preservation. Some versions are fitted with exclusive decorations on the door mirror covers; do not use pressurised or high-temperature jets of water when washing them. 92) Versions with stickers or wrapping To correctly clean and wash the car, proceed as follows: avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing stations. Then, wash the car, only by hand, using pHneutral detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the car. If high pressure jets or cleaners are used to wash the car, keep a distance of at least 40 cm from the bodywork to avoid damage or alteration. It should be remembered that a build up of water could cause damage, in the long term, to the car. Wet the bodywork with a lowpressure water jet. Wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge. Rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a chamois leather. Dry the less visible parts with special care, such as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where water may stagnate more easily. The car should not be taken to a closed area immediately, but left outside so that residual water can evaporate. Do not wash the car after it has been parked in the sun. Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of the car. Where possible, do not park the car under trees; the resinous substances that many species release give the paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility of triggering rusting processes. WARNING In case of water stains (rings) on the wrapping, remove it, washing again and drying it with a non-abrasive soft cloth. WARNINGS Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking the car 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 paint, the stickers or the wrapping. Do not use pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the windscreen and the rear window: dilute it to at least 50% with water. 249 MAINTENANCE AND CARE 93) 94) Windows To clean glasses, use specific cleaning products. Use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or altering the transparency. WARNING Wipe the rear window inside gently with a cloth following the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating device. Headlights Use a soft cloth soaked in water and detergent for washing cars. WARNING Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the headlights. WARNING When cleaning the car with a pressure washer, keep the water jet at least 20 cm away from the headlights. CONTACT WITH WATER Washing the motor compartment 95) Washing the motor is not recommended. If it is absolutely 250 necessary, follow the instructions below: washing is only allowed at low pressure; washing must take place with the motor cold and the ignition device in the STOP position; take care not to direct the water jet directly onto the electronic control units, connectors and orange cables, including the areas adjacent to them (high-voltage circuit) and venting valves; Have this operation performed by a specialised workshop. After washing, check that the various protective components (e.g. rubber guards and caps) have not been removed or damaged. Underbody washing If underbody washing is necessary, do not insist with the jet directly on the connectors and venting valve. Washing with charging flap closed The electrical system is safe, even if the following situations occur: presence of water in the foot area; when the car is in water at a level that allows it to cross a ford; liquids entering the boot. 96) WARNING 249) In this condition, the car is no longer secured and could move without control due to the slopes of the ground. IMPORTANT 89) Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. Avoid parking the vehicle under trees (unless it is absolutely necessary). Remove any resinous plant matter immediately because, once it has dried, it may require the use of abrasive and/or polishing products to be removed, which are strongly discouraged as they could potentially alter the characteristics of the paintwork. Do not use pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the front windscreen and rear window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen washer fluid when strictly necessary due to outside temperature conditions. Do not use chemicals/acids to defrost windows/vehicle glass as they can damage the paint. 90) Never use high-pressure washing systems. Drops of water may penetrate in the case of high-pressure washing systems and sprayers positioned near the windows. Give preference to car washes that use fabric or soft brushes that do not damage the paint of the bodywork. Ensure that the rims and tyres are not damaged by the transport mechanisms. Depending on the width of the vehicle, fold the exterior mirrors to prevent damage. Remove the aerial from car roof. Deactivate the rain sensor (see the "Automatic wiping-Inhibition" paragraph in the "Windscreen washing" chapter, in the "Knowing your car" section) to prevent accidental activation of the windscreen wiper. In some cases, the Side Distance Warning system and parking sensors may be accidentally activated during washing. 91) Avoid car washes with drive rails higher than 10 cm (4 inches); otherwise, the vehicle bodywork may be damaged. 92) Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing stations. Wash the car 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 car. Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking the car 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 opacity of the paint. Do not use pure windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the front windscreen and rear window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen washer fluid when strictly necessary due to outside temperature conditions. Do not use chemicals/acids to defrost windows/vehicle glass as they can damage the paint. 93) It is not advisable to wash with pressure washer or, in case of use, it is necessary to maintain at least a minimum distance of 40 cm with water at room temperature. 94) Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the car 95) Do not use a high pressure jet cleaner to clean the motor compartment. The appropriate precautions have been taken to protect all parts and connections, but the pressures generated by these devices are so high that complete protection against water seepages cannot be guaranteed. 96) If it is necessary to wash the car from the outside, take care not to insist directly with the water jet onto the charging flap. IMPORTANT 7) Detergents pollute the water. Only wash your vehicle in areas equipped to collect and treat waste water from this type of activity. INTERIOR Regularly check that water is not trapped under the mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as this could cause oxidation of the sheet metal. 250) 251) SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery. Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of water and neutral detergent. PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a moist cloth and a solution of water and non-abrasive mild soap. Use specific products for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specifically designed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour of the treated parts, to remove grease and tough stains. WARNING Never use alcohol, petrols and derivatives to clean the instrument panel lens. 251 MAINTENANCE AND CARE 252 LEATHER PARTS (where provided) Use only water and neutral soap to clean these parts. Never use alcohol or alcohol-based products. Before using a specific product for cleaning interiors, make sure that it does not contain alcohol and/or alcohol-based substances. WARNING 250) Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic charges which are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire. 251) 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.

All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking as well as a good manoeuvrability. Remember that you should not change the rotation direction of the tyres. The Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the customer's requirements. The winter features of these tyres are reduced considerably when the tread 266 depth is below 4 mm. Replace them in this case. Due to the specific characteristics of snow tyres, in normal weather conditions or on long motorway journeys, the performance of these tyres is lower than that of standard tyres. Their usage should therefore be restricted in accordance with their type approval. WARNING When using snow tyres with a maximum speed index below the one that can be reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in view, which states the maximum speed allowed by the snow tyres (as per EC Directive). All four tyres should be the same (brand and track) to ensure greater safety when driving and braking as well as a good manoeuvrability. Remember that you should not change the rotation direction of the tyres. SNOW CHAINS 97) 98) 99) 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. Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres of the front wheels (drive wheels) only. Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few feet/metres have been driven. Using snow chains with tyres with non-original dimensions may damage the car. Using different size or type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and rear axle may adversely affect car driveability, with the risk of losing control of the car and resulting accidents. WARNING 254) Do not switch tyres from the right­hand side of the car to the left­hand side, and vice versa. 255) Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the use of temperatures exceeding 150°C. The mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired. 256) Remember that the road holding qualities of your car also depend on correct tyre pressures. 257) If tyre pressure is too low, it may overheat and be severely damaged as a result. 258) Do NOT fit wheel cups when using integral cups fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and tyres other than factoryfitted tyres provided with Rim Protector (fig. 257). Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure. 259) The top 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. Nevertheless, you must always comply with the highway code speed limits. IMPORTANT 97) Keep the vehicle's speed down when snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50 km/h. 98) With snow chains, use the accelerator with extreme care to prevent, or to limit as much as possible, slipping of the drive wheels that could cause chain breakage, resulting in damage to the vehicle body or mechanical components. 99) Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with snow to avoid damaging the car and the road surface. 267 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DIMENSIONS Dimensions are expressed in mm and refer to the car equipped with its original tyres.
