release it as soon as the engine starts.

STARTING THE

ENGINE

The vehicle is fitted with an electronic

engine lock device: if the engine fails

to start, see the paragraph “The Fiat

CODE system” in section “Know your

vehicle”.

On some versions, the Start&Stop

system will be activated every time

the vehicle is started, even though it

was deactivated before switching the

vehicle off.

The engine may be noisier during

the first few seconds of operation,

especially after a long period of

inactivity. This is due to the hydraulic

tappets, the timing system chosen for

petrol engine versions to reduce the

number of servicing interventions,

and affects neither functionality nor

reliability.

PROCEDURE FOR

DIESEL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

engage the handbrake;

put the gear lever into neutral;

turn the key to MAR-ON position:

WARNING If start-up is requested

with the gearbox faulty, carry out

adjusted.

WARNING

108) In the case of parking manoeuvres

on roads on a gradient, the front wheels

must be steered towards the pavement

(when parking downhill), or in the opposite

direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If

the vehicle is parked on a steep slope,

it is advisable to block the wheels with a

wedge or stone.

110) Press the clutch pedal fully to shift

gears correctly. It is therefore essential that

there is nothing under the pedals: make

sure the mats are lying flat and do not get

in the way of the pedals.

IMPORTANT

WHEN PARKED

22) Do not drive with your hand resting

on the gear lever as the force exerted,

even if slight, could lead over time to

premature wear of the gearbox internal

components. The clutch pedal should be

used only for gear changes. Do not drive

with your foot resting on the clutch pedal,

however lightly. For versions/markets

where provided, the electronic clutch

control could cut in, interpreting the

incorrect driving style as a fault.

ACTIVATION /

DEACTIVATION

GENERAL WARNINGS

During parking manoeuvres, pay the

utmost attention to any obstacles that

could be located above or below the

sensors.

Sometimes, objects located very

near the rear of the vehicle are not

detected and could therefore damage

the vehicle or be damaged themselves.

The signals sent out by the sensors

can be altered by dirt, snow or

ice deposited on the sensors or

by ultrasound systems (e.g. truck

pneumatic brakes or pneumatic drills)

near the vehicle.

The parking sensors work properly

with the swing doors closed. If they

are open, they can cause the system

to send false signals: always close the

rear doors.

Also, do not apply stickers to the

sensors.

The following conditions may influence

the performance of the parking

assistance system:

The sensors are automatically activated

when reverse gear is engaged.

The buzzer becomes more frequent as

the obstacle behind the vehicle gets

closer to the bumper.

OPERATION WITH A

TRAILER

The operation of the sensors is

automatically deactivated when the

plug for the electric cable for the trailer

is inserted in the vehicle tow hook

socket.

The sensors are automatically

reactivated when the trailer's cable plug

is removed.

ACOUSTIC WARNING

When reverse gear is engaged an

intermittent acoustic warning is

automatically activated.

The frequency of the acoustic warning:

increases as the distance between

the vehicle and the obstacle decreases;

become continuous when the

distance between the vehicle and the

obstacle is less than 30 cm and stop

immediately if the distance increases;

it remains constant if the distance

between vehicle and obstacle remains

unchanged; if this situation concerns

the side sensors, the buzzer will stop

after about 3 seconds to avoid, for

example, warning indications in the

event of manoeuvres along walls.

WARNING If you wish to leave the

tow hook fitted without towing a

trailer, it is advisable to contact a Fiat

Dealership for the relevant system

update operations because the tow

hook could be detected as an obstacle

by the central sensors.

Reduced sensor sensitivity and a

reduction in the parking assistance

system performance could be due

to the presence on the surface of the

sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint.

The sensor may detect a non-

existent obstacle (echo noise) due to

mechanical noises, for example when

WARNING If you wish to leave the

tow hook fitted without towing a

trailer, it is advisable to contact a Fiat

Dealership for the relevant system

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.

The warnings sent by the sensor

can also be altered by the presence

of ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic

brakes of trucks or pneumatic drills)

near the car.

Start&Stop SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Detection of obstacles in the upper

part of the vehicle (particularly in the

case of vans or chassis cabs) may not

be guaranteed because the system

detects obstacles that could strike the

lower part of the vehicle.

114) 115) 116)

IN BRIEF

The Start&Stop device automatically

stops the engine each time the

vehicle is stationary and all the

conditions for automatic switch-off

have been met, and starts it again

when the driver wants to move off.

This improves the efficiency of the

vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,

the emission of harmful gases and

noise pollution.

WARNING

165

F0T0425

113) Parking manoeuvres, however, are

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 parking sensors are used

to assist the driver, who must never allow

his attention to lapse during potentially

dangerous manoeuvres, even those

executed at low speeds.

SAVING FUEL

Here are some useful tips to save fuel

and minimise harmful emissions of

Electric devices

Unnecessary actions

Use electrical devices only for the

amount of time needed. The heated

rear window, additional headlights,

windscreen/rear window wipers and

heater fan need a considerable amount

of energy, therefore increasing fuel

consumption (by up to 25% in the

urban cycle).

Avoid accelerating when stopped at

traffic lights or before switching off the

engine. This action and also double

declutching is absolutely pointless

on modern cars and also increases

consumption and pollution.

CO and other pollutants (nitric oxides,

unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc.).

2

GENERAL INFORMATION

The general factors that affect fuel

consumption are listed below.

Vehicle maintenance

Gear selection

Have checks and adjustments carried

out in accordance with the “Scheduled

Servicing Plan”.

As soon as the conditions of the traffic

and road permit, use a higher gear.

Using a low gear for faster acceleration

will increase fuel consumption.

In the same way improper use of a high

gear increases consumption, emissions

and engine wear.

Climate control module

Air conditioning leads to higher fuel

consumption (on average up to +20%).

If the temperature outside permits, try

and use the ventilation only.

Tyres

Check the pressure of the tyres

routinely at an interval of no more

than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too

low, consumption levels increase as

resistance to rolling is higher.

Devices for aerodynamic control

The use of non-certified spoilers may

adversely affect air drag and fuel

consumption.

Top speed

Fuel consumption increases

considerably with speed. Maintain a

constant speed, avoiding unnecessary

braking and acceleration, which cost in

terms of both fuel consumption and

emissions.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with an overloaded

luggage compartment. The weight of

the vehicle (especially when driving in

town) and its geometry greatly affect

fuel consumption and stability.

DRIVING STYLE

The main driving styles that affect fuel

consumption are listed below.

Start

Acceleration

Do not warm up the engine at low or

high revs when the vehicle is stationary;

this causes the engine to warm up

more slowly, thereby increasing

fuel consumption and emissions. It

is therefore advisable to move off

immediately, slowly, avoiding high

Roof rack/ski rack

Accelerating violently will greatly

affect consumption and emissions:

acceleration should be gradual.

Remove the roof rack or the ski

rack from the roof after use. These

accessories reduce the aerodynamic

coefficient of the vehicle and have a

negative effect on fuel consumption.

CONDITIONS OF USE

The main usage conditions that

negatively affect fuel consumption are

listed below.

139

Cold starting

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low,

diesel thickens due to the formation of

paraffin clots with consequent defective

operation of the fuel supply system.

In order to avoid these problems,

different types of diesel are distributed

according to the season: summer

type, winter type and arctic type

(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling

with diesel whose specifications are

not suitable for the usage temperature,

it is advisable to mix PETRONAS

DURANCE DIESEL ART additive in the

proportions shown on the container

with the fuel. Pour the additive into the

tank before the fuel.

REFUELLING THE

VEHICLE

Short journeys and frequent cold

starts do not allow the engine to reach

optimum operating temperature.

Consequently, both consumption (from

+15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and

emissions will increase.

118)

24) 25)

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only, with an

octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than

95.

Traffic and road conditions

Rather high consumption levels are

linked to situations with heavy traffic,

for instance when travelling in queues

with frequent use of the lower gears or

in cities with many traffic lights.

Winding mountain roads and rough

road surfaces also adversely affect

consumption.

WARNING For correct operation of

the engine, only use "Metallic Additive

Free" petrol. The use of petrol with

metallic additives, which are identified

as "Containing metallic additive" may

damage the catalyst beyond repair.

Stops in traffic

When using or parking the vehicle for

a long time in the mountains or cold

areas, it is advisable to refuel using

locally available diesel fuel.

In this case, it is also advisable to keep

the tank over 50% full.

WARNING An inefficient catalytic

converter leads to harmful exhaust

emissions, thus contributing to air

pollution.

During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level

crossings) the engine should be

switched off.

WARNING Never introduce leaded

petrol to the tank, even in small

amounts in an emergency, as this

would damage the catalytic converter

beyond repair.

REFUELLING CAPACITY

To ensure that you fill the tank

completely, top up twice after the first

click of the fuel supply gun. Further

top-ups could cause faults in the fuel

feeding system.

DIESEL ENGINES

Only use Diesel fuel for motor vehicles

(EN590 specification).

WARNING

The vehicle is equipped with an UREA

fuel injection system and a Selective

Catalytic Reduction catalyst to meet

the emission standards.

These two systems ensure compliance

with the diesel emissions requirements;

at the same time, they ensure fuel-

efficiency, handling, torque and power.

IMPORTANT

24) For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel

for motor vehicles in accordance with

EN590 European specifications. The

use of other products or mixtures may

damage the engine beyond repair and

consequently invalidate the warranty, due

to the damage caused. If you accidentally

introduce other types of fuel into the tank,

do not start the engine. Empty the tank.

If the engine has been run for even an

extremely limited amount of time, you must

not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of

the supply circuit as well.

25) You must not open the right sliding

side door with the fuel cap open while

refuelling. Check that the fuel cap is closed

while opening/closing the sliding side door.

26) Methane refuelling stations are not

authorised to refill the cylinders when the

inspection date has expired. The check

valve prevents the methane from flowing

back to the fuel filler.

TOWING TRAILERS

IMPORTANT NOTES

The vehicle must be equipped with a

type-approved tow hook and adequate

electrical system to tow trailers.

Installation should be carried out by

specialised technicians who will issue

the required papers for travelling on

roads.

Install any specific and/or additional

door mirrors as specified by the

Highway Code.

Remember that, when towing a trailer,

steep hills are harder to climb, braking

distances increase and overtaking

takes longer depending on the overall

weight of the trailer.

119) 120)

WARNING

119) The ABS with which the vehicle

may be equipped will not control the

trailer's braking system. Particular caution

is required on slippery roads.

120) Never modify the braking system

of the vehicle to control the trailer brake.

The trailer braking system must be fully

independent from the hydraulic system of

the vehicle.

Engage a low gear when driving

downhill, rather than constantly using

the brake.

The weight of the trailer on the vehicle

tow hook will reduce the loading

capacity of the vehicle by the same

amount.

To make sure that the maximum

towable weight is not exceeded (given

in the vehicle registration document)

account should be taken of the fully

laden trailer, including accessories and

luggage.

Do not exceed the speed limits specific

to each country you are driving in, in

the case of vehicles towing trailers.
