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

OPERATING
PRINCIPLE
The propulsion system of the New 500
is completely powered by the energy
contained in the high-voltage lithiumion rechargeable battery of the car.
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.

HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
The high-voltage battery is located at
the bottom of the vehicle in a central
area and is maintenance-free.

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. 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).

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.

KNOWING YOUR CAR
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® system prevents
unauthorised use of the car preventing
to start the motor.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the car's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to
ENGINE, the Sentry Key® system
identifies the code transmitted by the
key. If the code is recognised as valid,
the Sentry Key® system enables
motor starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Sentry Key®
system deactivates the control unit
controlling the motor, thus preventing
its starting.
For the correct motor starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the motor" chapter in the
"Starting and driving" section.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel
(see the instructions in the "Warning
lights and messages" chapter in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
section). This condition leads to the
motor switching off after 2 seconds. In
this case, bring the ignition device to
26
STOP and ENGINE; if it is still blocked,
try with the other keys provided. If it
is still not possible to start the motor,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the display persists, contact a
Fiat Dealership.

PREVENTION AGAINST
INADVERTENT LOCKING OF
THE KEY INSIDE THE CAR
(FOBIK-SAFE)
The key is provided with an automatic
door unlocking function to avoid leaving
the electronic key inside the car
accidentally.
There are three situations that activate
the FOBIK-Safe system:
A lock request made with a valid
electronic key while the door is open.
A lock request made by pressing the
door lock button on the outside handle
(B) fig. 19 while a door is open.
A lock request made by pressing
the door lock button (A) fig. 16 on the
centre dashboard while a door is open.
Once all the doors are closed, the
FOBIK-Safe system performs a check
inside and outside the car to verify the
presence of enabled electronic keys.
If one of the electronic keys is detected
inside the car and no other active
electronic key is detected outside
the car, the FOBIK-Safe function
automatically unlocks all the car doors.
The FOBIK-Safe function will also
intervene if the electronic key is left
inside the boot. When the boot is
closed, if the electronic key is detected,
the system will unlock the boot.
If, on the other hand, one or more
electronic keys are found inside the
passenger compartment, locking the
doors with another key will disable the
operation of the keys from the inside.
In this case, the FOBIK-Safe function
will not detect the disabled keys if
left inside the car. To re-activate their
correct operation, press the button
on the remote control.
NOTES
The car will not unlock the doors
if one of the following situations is

Description
The automatic climate control system
maintains comfort inside the passenger
compartment and compensates for
possible variations in outside weather
conditions.
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;

improve the final result.
In lack of specific products, use water
and neutral soap applied with a sponge
(preferably in the shade) for washing.
Rinse the soft top with clean water after
having eliminated all the stains.
Hand washing is recommended;
modern automatic washing systems
equipped with soft brushes which
do not apply excessive pressure and
employ specific soft top products may
be used.
Leave the car in the shade after
washing avoiding direct sunlight.
Waterproofing the soft top
Use specific waterproofing products for
fabric soft tops.
Interior soft top fabric
Remove dust with a soft brush. Avoid
using hard brushes made of synthetic
material to prevent damaging the fabric
beyond repair.
Clean the surface with a microfibre
cloth or soft sponge dipped in a
solution of water and neutral soap.
Clean the entire surface, including the
zones where cleaning is not needed, to
prevent staining.
Use common, care mild stain removers
that can be purchased from car
cleaning product ranges to remove
more stubborn stains. Apply by blotting
(never rubbing) directly on the area of
the stain.
WARNING
32) Keep hands away from the top
mechanism while opening and closing the
top or if the top stops in a position before
completing the cycle to prevent damage
and injury.
33) Keep children away from the area in
which the top is folding during opening or
closing operations.
34) When leaving the car, turn the ignition
device to STOP and always take the
electronic key with you to avoid the risk of
injury due to accidental operation of the
soft top. Improper use may be dangerous.
Before and during operation, always check
that no-one is at risk of being injured by
the moving soft top or by objects getting
caught and dragged by it.
18) Bird droppings and plant resins must
be washed off immediately and thoroughly
from the soft top as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.
19) Never use high-pressure washing
systems.
20) When using steam washers or
high-pressure water washers, maintain
a suitable distance and do not exceed a
maximum temperature of 60°C. Damage,
alterations and water infiltration may
occur if the distance is too small and the
pressure is too high.
21) If a water jet is used, direct away
from the edges of the fabric and the rear
window frame to prevent water infiltration.
22) Never use alcohol, petrol, chemical
products, detergents, stain removers, wax,
solvents and "wash and polish" products.
23) Rinse immediately to remove soap
to prevent stains. Repeat the operation if
needed.
24) Follow the instructions on the
waterproofing product container for
perfect results.
25) The rubber seals on the soft top
must be cleaned exclusively with water.
If you notice that this trim is dry or is
sticking, apply talcum powder or products
specifically for rubber trim (silicone spray).
IMPORTANT
15) Never open the top in presence of
snow or ice to prevent damage.
16) Do not place objects on the rear
window shelf to prevent damage while the
top is closing.
17) Loads may not be secured on the roof.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
GENERAL WARNINGS
WARNING Warning lights are accompanied by a specific message and/or sound when implemented on the instrument panel.
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

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.

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.

PARTIAL / TOTAL DEACTIVATION OF ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS
The turning on of the warning light indicates that some safety systems have been partially
deactivated by a driver's request.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The high-voltage battery of the car
can be charged using special charging
cables:
the connection of the charging port
located on the rear right side of the car
to the charging ports in public charging
stations;
or
to the domestic socket.
The charging procedure control
and monitoring takes place in a fully
automatic way.
NOTE The car is able to automatically
recognise the maximum allowable
current intensity depending on the type
of domestic socket/public charging
stations used and the regulations in
force in the country in which you are
located (e.g. overloads). Reduce the
maximum charging current required
by using the "Charging settings"
item on the Uconnect™ system
display (for more information, refer
to the "Uconnect™" chapter in the
"Multimedia" section). Before charging
in your own home, or elsewhere, check
the allowable current intensity by
contacting a specialized technician:
it is advisable to contact the Fiat
Dealership. In case of problems (e.g.
current overloads) reduce the charge
level.
TYPES OF CHARGING
CABLES
Three different types of cables can be
used for charging:
"Mode 2" (A) fig. 188 cable
(standard): allows charging from an
earthed domestic power socket. This
type of socket is used for charging with
alternating current. The "Mode 2"
charging cable complies with IEC
61851, IEC 62752 and SAE J1772
standards.
"Mode 3" (B) fig. 189 cable
(optional): allows charging from a public
charging station and a domestic AC
(alternating current) charging station
(wallbox charging station). The charging
speed may be faster than charging
through a domestic power socket.

system does not allow disconnection.
204) The charging current level ("Level 1"
/ "Level 2" / "Level 3", etc.) can only be
changed using the Uconnect™ system
display (see "Settings" in the"Vehicle
mode" paragraph in the "Multimedia"
section). The default charge level set is
"Level 3". For countries in which the 13A
"Mode 2" charge cable can be used,
if the domestic power socket IS NOT
CERTIFIED, it is recommended to set
"Level 4" charge to the maximum, which
corresponds to approx. 10A. For the list of
country-specific cable types refer to what
is indicated in the "Mode 2 cable variant
table".
205) The set level applies indifferently to
both AC home charging (Mode 2) and
charging from an AC public charging
station (Mode 3). It is therefore always
advisable to check that the level is set as
desired for the actual charging type that is
about to be carried out.
206) Incorrect setting of the charge current
intensity can overload or overheat the
mains power supply of the domestic
power socket. Fire hazard. Before charging
from other domestic sockets, adjust the
charge current intensity to the mains. If
you do not know the mains, set to the
lowest level. Never use extension cords for
charging.
207) Incorrect connection between
connector and charging terminals
constitutes a fire hazard!
208) During normal operation, the
domestic power socket can overheat. In
the case of extreme overheating, the
charge is interrupted and the warning LED
on the front of the cable control unit will
turn on. Refer to the table in the "Charging
system failure" chapter in the "Power
sources that can be used" section.
209) The "Mode 2" charge cable must be
connected to a dedicated circuit that is
not shared with other devices that absorb
electrical energy.
210) Do not insert fingers or objects in the
cable charging connector.
211) The high-voltage battery must only
be charged through approved, earthed
domestic sockets or from a public
charging station using the charging cable
supplied separately as an option by FCA (”
Mode 3“ charging cable).
212) Keep the charging flap closed when
the charging port is not in use.
IMPORTANT
66) Do not charge if the external
temperature is -30°C or lower, as charging
is likely to take longer and the charging
device may be damaged.
67) Do not leave the car or the charging
cable in areas where the external
temperature is below -40°C as they may
be damaged.
68) In cold temperatures, the charging
cable may become stiff. Therefore, be
careful not to apply excessive force to the
charging cable as it may be damaged.
69) Do not use personal generators to
charge the high-voltage battery. This may
cause fluctuations in charging and the
voltage may be insufficient, resulting in
damage to the car system.

"eCoasting" mode
(ENERGY SAVING)
This is a mode that replaces the
exhaust brake when the accelerator
pedal is released, recovers energy
during the slowing down phase of the
car.
The "eCoasting" mode is automatically
activated in "NORMAL" operating
mode to maximise energy recovery
when the accelerator and brake pedals
are released.
Driving in "eCoasting" mode is possible
if the transmission is in position "D"
(Drive).
"eBraking"
MODE (HIGHVOLTAGE BATTERY
CHARGING)
The "eBraking" mode, which is
always active regardless of the
selected operating mode activates the
high-voltage battery charging when
the brake pedal is pressed, thereby
recovering energy during braking.
The electric motor works as an
alternator, converting the kinetic energy
of the car into electrical energy.
Using this mode is particularly useful
when driving in the city, where there
are continuous stops and starts.
NOTE To make the most efficient use
of the system, the braking phase
should, where possible, be modulated
by applying so as to allow maximum
energy recovery.
NOTE In the event of an emergency,
maximum braking efficiency is always
guaranteed by the conventional braking
system.
ONE-PEDAL
DRIVING
With One-Pedal Driving in "RANGE"
and "SHERPA" modes, the accelerator
pedal can also be used to control
deceleration of the car to a complete
stop.
Quickly release the accelerator pedal to
obtain aggressive deceleration. Slowly
release the accelerator pedal to adjust
of the deceleration of the car.
WARNING When One-Pedal Driving
is active and the driver releases the
seat belt, the electric parking brake is
applied automatically and One-Pedal
Driving is not possible.
Press the accelerator pedal to reach
the desired speed. The deceleration
provided by One-Pedal Driving mode
allows for full regenerative braking and
helps to increase the efficiency of the
car.
With the One-Pedal Driving mode
enabled, the electric parking brake may
be automatically applied if:
the car stops on a slope;
the driver’s door is open;
car stopped for longer than five
minutes;

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions. For this
reason, Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance
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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

252) Remember that the road holding qualities of your car also depend on correct tyre pressures.
253) If tyre pressure is too low, it may overheat and be severely damaged as a result.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
RIM PROTECTOR TYRES
258)
For wheel hub caps fitting on rims with
Rim Protector tyres, see the warning
below.
257
F0S0351
SNOW TYRES
259)
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
standard tyres provided with the car.
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.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE CAR AT THE END OF ITS
LIFE
FCA has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-compatible". To grant customers the best possible service
in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of
their life, FCA is offering its customers the chance to hand over their vehicle at the end of its life without incurring any additional
costs. The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over, the last keeper or owner should not incur any
expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships if you are purchasing another
vehicle or an FCA-authorized collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality
service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
Similarly, to meet its obligations under European Directive 2006/66/EC on batteries, FCA requires you to comply with the
national regulations on handling both low-voltage and high-voltage lithium ion batteries (12V and 48V) at all times. This includes
consigning vehicles complete with their batteries to one of the collection and demolition centres authorized by FCA to handle
such batteries, and not disposing of them improperly, which could lead to personal injuries and/or harm to the environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an FCA dealership or by calling the
number in the Warranty Booklet or by consulting the websites of the various FCA brands.
