ger compartment in any way. For this

reason, make sure there are no per-

sons left inside the vehicle.

control.

The system has been successfully enabled

when the direction indicators flash twice.

It is the best protection possible against

attempted break-ins. We recommend en-

gaging it whenever the vehicle is parked

and left unattended.

The system is not enabled if one or more

than one door is not correctly locked.

This prevents any person from getting in-

to the vehicle from an open door, and

locks him/her inside the passenger com-

partment when the door is closed.

WARNING

If the battery of the key with

remote control is down, the

dead lock device can be activated on-

ly by fitting the metal insert of the key

in both front door revolving plugs as

described previously: in this case the

dead lock device will stay engaged on-

ly on the rear doors.

Disengaging the system

The system is disabled automatically on

every door in the following cases:

❒

when unlocking the doors;

when turning the ignition key to MAR.

❒ when one of the doors or bonnet is

opened illegitimately (perimeter pro-

tection);

IMPORTANT If the central door locking

system is engaged using the metal insert

of the key, the alarm is not enabled.

ENABLING THE ALARM

Keep the doors and bonnets closed and

either turn the ignition key to STOP or

remove it. Direct the key with the remote

control towards the vehicle and press but-

ton Á, then release it.

❒ when the ignition system is started up

(ignition key rotated to MAR);

IMPORTANT Originally, the alarm is con-

figured in compliance with the regulations

existing in the different countries.

❒ when the battery cables are cut;

❒ when someone is moving inside the

passenger compartment (volumetric

protection);

Excluding some versions for specific mar-

kets, the system produces a sound warn-

ing (beep) and enables door locking.

❒ when the vehicle is unusually lifted/tilt-

ed.

Before the alarm is enabled, a self-test is

run. If a failure is detected, the system pro-

duces a new acoustic signal and shows a

message on the display (see section

“Warning lights and messages”).

Depending on the markets where the ve-

hicle is sold, alarm tripping causes either

a siren or direction indicators to go on

(for approx. 26 seconds). Alarm tripping

and the number of cycles depend on the

sales market.

DISABLING THE ALARM

SIGNALS IN THE EVENT

OF ATTEMPTED BREAK-INS

Press button Æ on the key with the re-

mote control.

Whenever a break-in is attempted, a

warning light Y (or symbol on the dis-

play) starts blinking on the instrument pan-

el (in some versions a message also ap-

pears on the display - see section “Warn-

ing lights and messages”).

The following operations are performed

(excluding some versions):

❒ the direction indicators turn on short-

ly twice;

❒ two short beeps are produced by the

warning buzzer;

If necessary, the function may be turned

off (e.g. if animals are left in the car) by

pressing key A-fig. 7, located on the front

courtesy light before activating the alarm.

Function deactivation is indicated by the

led located on the key flashing for a few

seconds. If the volume-sensing/anti-lift

protection is turned off, this must be re-

peated whenever the instrument panel is

turned off.

soon as the steering wheel is turned.

This also applies to cases in which the

vehicle is towed. Under no circum-

stances should after-market opera-

tions be carried out involving steering

system or steering column modifica-

tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft

device) that could negatively affect

performance and safety, cause the

lapse of the warranty and also result

in vehicle non-compliance with type-

approval requirements.

❒ STOP: the engine is off, the key can be

extracted, the steering is locked. Some

electrical devices (e.g. car radio, central

door locking system, alarm, etc.) are en-

abled.

❒ AVV: engine start.

The ignition device is fitted with a safety

system that forces the driver to return the

ignition key to STOP before repeating the

starting operation, if the engine does not

start up.

INSTRUMENTS

Instrument background colour and type

may vary according to the version.

fig. 9

fig. 10

TACHOMETER

REV. COUNTER fig. 10

(speed indicator) fig. 9

The rev counter shows the engine rpm.

It shows the vehicle speed.

IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-

trol system gradually shuts off the flow of

fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-

sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.

When the engine is idling, the rev counter

may indicate a gradual or sudden increase

of the speed. This is normal and does not

indicate a fault. It may be caused, for ex-

ample, by the operation of the climate

control system or fan. In this case, a slow

change in engine speed is used to protect

the battery charge.

14

FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR

Turning on of the warning light B-fig. 11

(along with a message on the display) in-

dicates that the coolant fluid temperature

is too high. In this case, stop the engine

and contact a Fiat Dealership.

This shows the amount of fuel left in the

fuel tank.

The warning light A-fig. 11 turns on to

indicate that approximately 6 to 7 litres of

fuel are left in the tank.

E - tank empty.

If the needle indicating the

engine coolant temperature

reaches the red area, stop the

engine immediately and con-

tact a Fiat Dealership.

F - tank full (see the instructions provid-

ed in paragraph “Vehicle refuelling” in

this section).

fig. 11

ENGINE COOLANT

TEMPERATURE INDICATOR

Do not travel when the fuel tank is almost

empty, because this may jeopardize the

catalyst.

This shows the temperature of the engine

coolant fluid and starts working when the

fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

IMPORTANT The needle will point to E

and warning light A will blink to indicate a

fault in the system. Go to a Fiat Dealer-

ship to have the system checked.

Under normal conditions, the needle

should hover around the middle of the

scale according to the working conditions

of the vehicle.

C - Low engine coolant temperature.

H - High engine coolant temperature.

The display located on the instrument pan-

el provides a visual indication of the posi-

tions during adjustment operations.

The vehicle slants backwards when it is

loaded, raising the beam. The beams must

therefore be directed again in this case.

Position 0 - one or two passengers on

front seats.

Position 1 - five passengers.

Position 2 - five passengers + loaded

boot.

Position 3 - driver + maximum admitted

cargo in the boot.

IMPORTANT Check beam aiming when-

ever the weight of the load carried

changes.

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

ABS SYSTEM

WARNING

The ABS system exploits the

tyre-road grip at best, but it

Intervention of the ABS is detected by a

slight pulsing of the brake pedal accompa-

nied by noise: such an event indicates that

you need to adjust your speed to the type

of road on which you are travelling.

The vehicle is fitted with an ABS braking

system, which prevents the wheels from

locking when braking, makes the most of

road grip and gives the best control when

should take great care when driving

on slippery surfaces without taking

unnecessary risks.

The system is completed by EBD (Elec-

tronic Braking Force Distribution), which

distributes the braking action between

front and rear wheels.

keep it pressed; in doing so you will

stop in the shortest amount of space

possible depending on the current

road conditions.

ABS failure is indicated by the turning on

of warning light >on the instrument pan-

el (together with the dedicated message

on the display in some versions) (see sec-

tion “Warning lights and messages”).

In the case, the braking system preserves

its efficiency, but cannot rely on the ex-

tra potentials offered by the ABS system.

Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-

ership to have the system checked.

WARNING

When the ABS trips, it means

that you are approaching

the grip limit between tyres and road:

slow down to exploit all the available

grip.

Detection distances

PARKING SENSORS

(where provided)

Central operating range 120 cm

Side operating range 60 cm

Parking sensors are located in the rear

bumper fig. 93 and their function is to in-

form the driver, through an intermittent

buzzer, about the presence of obstacles

behind the vehicle.

If several obstacles are detected, the con-

trol unit indicates the nearest one.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

Any failure of the parking sensors is indi-

cated when engaging reverse gear by a

beep lasting 3 seconds.

fig. 93

ACTIVATION

The sensors are automatically activated

when the reverse gear is engaged.

BUZZER WARNING

When reverse gear is engaged, an inter-

mittent buzzer automatically turns on (a

short beep to indicate the activation of the

system).

As the obstacle behind the vehicle comes

closer to the bumper, the buzzer becomes

more frequent.

The sensors must be clean

from mud, dirt, snow or ice in

order to work correctly. Be

sure that no-one is standing in the

area, especially children or animals.

Parking sensors are designed to assist

drivers, who must always pay the ut-

most attention during potentially

dangerous manoeuvres even if they

are performed at low speed.

❒ Objects located near the vehicle back,

under certain circumstances, are not

detected and could therefore cause

damage to the vehicle or become dam-

aged.

Sensors are automatically enabled again

when removing the trailer cable plug.

❒ Indications sent by the sensors can be

altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited

on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-

tems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or

pneumatic hammers) near the vehicle.

❒ For correct parking sensor operation

the swing-doors must be closed. Open

swing-doors may produce incorrect in-

dications by the system. The rear doors

must always be closed.

(where provided)

ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION

A

The devices for curtailing petrol engine

emissions are the following:

C

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-

ical filter integral with the exhaust system

that physically traps carbon particles pre-

sent in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.

❒ three-way catalytic converter;

❒ Lambda sensors;

The diesel particulate filter has been

adopted to eliminate particulates almost

totally in compliance with current / future

law regulations. During normal use of the

vehicle, the engine control unit records a

set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route,

temperatures, etc.) and it will then calcu-

late the amount of particles trapped by the

filter.

❒ fuel evaporation prevention system.

fig. 95

In addition, do not let the engine run, even

for a test, with one or more spark plugs

disconnected.

FUEL TANK PLUG fig. 95

To refuel open the flap A and unscrew the

plug B. The plug is provided with a loss

prevention device C which secures it to

the flap, thus making it impossible to lose.

The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-

gine emissions are the following:

❒ oxidising catalytic converter;

The plug B is provided with a lock and key.

To access it open the flap A, turn the igni-

tion key anticlockwise and loosen the plug.

Since this filter physically traps particulates,

it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular

intervals by burning carbon particles. The

regeneration procedure is controlled au-

tomatically by the engine control unit ac-

cording to the filter conditions and the

conditions of use of the vehicle.

❒ exhaust gas recirculation system

(E.G.R.);

❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF) (where

provided).

When refuelling, fasten the plug to the de-

vice inside the lid as shown in the figure.

During the regeneration procedure, the

following situations may occur: limited in-

crease of idle speed, activation of electric

fan, limited increase of smoke, high tem-

peratures at the exhaust. These events

must not be considered as a malfunction-

ing: they do not impair vehicle behaviour

and the environment. If the dedicated

message is displayed, refer to section

“Warning lights and messages”.

Do not place free flames or lit

cigarettes near to the fuel

filler: this may pose a risk of

fire. Keep your face away

from the fuel filler to prevent breath-

ing in harmful vapours.
