identiﬁcation information for the vehicle.

Accessories purchased by the owner

For all work on your vehicle, use a

qualiﬁed workshop that has the technical

information, skills and equipment required, all

of which a Fiat Dealership is able to provide.

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 electrical system of the car is able to

withstand the load required, or whether it needs

to be integrated with a more powerful battery.

Installation of accessory radio

communication transmitters

Depending on country regulations,

certain safety equipment may be

mandatory: high visibility safety vests,

warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,

spare fuses, ﬁre extinguisher, ﬁrst aid kit, mud

ﬂaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.

Before installing a radio communication

transmitter with an external aerial, you must

without fail contact a Fiat Dealership for the

speciﬁcation of transmitters which can be

ﬁtted (frequency, maximum power, aerial

position, speciﬁc installation requirements),

in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic

Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).

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.

Installing electrical accessories:

– The ﬁtting of electrical equipment

or accessories not approved by Fiat may

cause excessive current consumption and

faults and failures with the electrical system

of your vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership

for information on the range of approved

accessories.

– As a safety measure, access to the

diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's

electronic systems, is reserved strictly for

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/

Dynamic stability control

(DSC)

Anti-slip regulation (or traction control) optimises

traction by using engine braking and by applying

the brakes on the driving wheels to avoid one

or more wheels spinning. It also enhances the

vehicle's directional stability.

If there is a diﬀerence between the vehicle’s

trajectory and the path desired by the driver, the

dynamic stability control system automatically

uses engine braking and the brakes on one or

more wheels to return the vehicle to the desired

path, within the limits of the laws of physics.

These systems are activated automatically every

time the vehicle is started.

The electronic stability control programme

includes the following systems:

– Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Electronic

brake force distribution (EBFD).

– Emergency braking assistance (EBA).

– Anti-slip regulation (ASR).

– Dynamic stability control (DSC).

– Intelligent traction control.

– Trailer stability assist (TSA).

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch oﬀ

the ignition.

Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Anti-lock braking system

(ABS)/Electronic brake force

distribution (EBFD)

These systems enhance the vehicle’s stability

and handling during braking, and enable greater

control while cornering, particularly on poor or

slippery road surfaces.

ABS prevents wheel locking in the event of

emergency braking.

Electronic brake force distribution (EBFD)

manages overall braking pressure on each

individual wheel.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),

ensure that these are approved for your

vehicle.

After an impact

Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

These systems are activated in the event

of a problem with grip or trajectory

(conﬁrmed by this warning lamp ﬂashing on the

instrument panel).

Emergency braking

assistance (EBA)

In an emergency, this system enables you

to reach the optimum braking pressure more

quickly and therefore reduce the stopping

distance.

Deactivation/Reactivation

In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that

is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose

soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the

DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can move

freely and regain grip.

► When braking in an emergency, depress

the pedal very ﬁrmly and maintain this

pressure.

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake

pedal.

It is triggered in relation to the speed at which

the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a

Intelligent traction control

("Snow motion")

(Depending on version)

The intelligent traction control system helps

improve grip when driving on snow.

This system detects situations of poor surface

grip that could make it diﬃcult to move oﬀ

or make progress on deep fresh snow or

compacted snow.

In these situations, the system limits the amount

of wheel spin to provide the best traction and

trajectory control for the vehicle.

ASR/DSC

These systems enhance safety during

normal driving, but should not encourage

the driver to take extra risks or drive at high

speed.

It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain, snow,

ice) that the risk of loss of grip increases. It

is therefore important for your safety to keep

these systems activated in all conditions, and

particularly in diﬃcult conditions.

Press this button.

Or

The use of winter tyres is strongly

recommended on slippery surfaces.

exceeded nose weight, worn or under-inﬂated

tyres, faulty braking system) or driving at

excessive speed.

In certain cases, the system may not detect

trailer snaking, particularly with a light trailer.

When driving on slippery or poor surfaces, the

system may not be able to prevent sudden

trailer snaking.

5

Operating modes

If the system detects that the trailer is

snaking, it applies the brakes to stabilise

the trailer and reduces engine power, if

necessary, to slow the vehicle (indicated by the

ﬂashing of this warning lamp on the instrument

panel and the brake lamps coming on).

For information on weights and towed loads,

refer to the Engine technical data and towed

loads section or your vehicle’s registration

Pyrotechnic pretensioning

This system improves safety in the event of a

frontal or side impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact, the

pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly

tightens the seat belts against the body of the

occupants.

The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are

enabled when the ignition is on.

This mode, when moving oﬀ, allows

considerable spin on the wheel with the

least grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to

regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with the

most grip is controlled in such a way as to

transmit as much torque as possible.

When moving, the system optimises wheel spin

to respond to the driver's requirements as fully

as possible.

System designed to help improve the safety

of the occupants sitting in the front seats and

the rear outer seats, in the event of a violent

collision. The airbags supplement the action

of the seat belts equipped with a force limiting

system.

Recommendations for children

Use a suitable child seat if the passenger

is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5

metres.

Never use the same seat belt to secure more

than one child.

Never carry a child on your lap.

For more information on Child seats, refer to

the corresponding section.

Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they

will not fulﬁl their role properly.

Electronic detectors record and analyse the

front and side impacts sustained in the impact

detection zones:

– In the event of violent impact, the airbags

deploy instantly and help better protect the

occupants of the vehicle; immediately after the

impact, the airbags deﬂate rapidly in order not

to hinder the visibility or the possible exit of the

occupants.

– In the event of a slight impact, a rear impact

and under certain rollover conditions, the airbags

may not deploy; only the seat belt helps to

protect you in these situations.

The seriousness of the impact depends on the

nature of the obstacle and the speed of the

vehicle at the moment of collision.

To ensure the proper functioning of the belt

buckles, make sure that there are no foreign

bodies present (e.g. a coin) before fastening.

Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt

is reeled in correctly.

After folding or moving a seat or rear bench

seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned

and reeled in correctly.

Maintenance

In accordance with current safety

regulations, for all work on your vehicle's

seat belts, contact a qualiﬁed workshop with

the skills and equipment needed, which a

Fiat Dealership is able to provide.

Have the seat belts checked regularly by

a Fiat Dealership or a qualiﬁed workshop,

particularly if the straps show signs of

damage.

Installation

The lower part of the strap must be

positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.

The upper part must be positioned in the

hollow of the shoulder.

At the front, adjusting the position of the

seat belt may require the seat height to be

adjusted.

In order to be eﬀective, a seat belt must:

– be tightened as close to the body as

possible.

– be pulled in front of you with a smooth

movement, checking that it is not twisted.

– must only be used to secure one person.

Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water

or a textile cleaning product, sold by Fiat

Dealerships.

The airbags do not operate when the

ignition is switched oﬀ.

This equipment will only deploy once. If a

second impact occurs (during the same or a

subsequent accident), the airbag will not be

deployed again.

105

Safety

Impact detection zones

Front airbags

A. Front impact zone

B. Side impact zone

When one or more airbags are deployed,

the detonation of the pyrotechnic charge

incorporated in the system makes a noise and

releases a small quantity of smoke.

This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive

individuals may experience irritation.

The detonation noise associated with the

deployment of one or more airbags may result

in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious front impact,

limiting the risk of head and chest injury.

The driver's airbag is ﬁtted in the centre of the

steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is

ﬁtted in the dashboard above the glove box.

When driving, keep the storage

compartment closed. Otherwise, there is

a risk of injury in the event of an accident or

sudden braking.

Deployment

They are deployed, except for the front

passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the

event of a violent front impact applied to all or

part of front impact zone A.

The front airbag inﬂates between the chest and

head of the front occupant of the vehicle and

the steering wheel, on the driver's side, and the

dashboard, on the passenger's side, to cushion

their forward movement.

rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.

In the event of a rear or front collision, none of

the lateral airbags are deployed.

If ﬁtted to your vehicle, this is a system that

contributes towards greater protection for

passengers (with the exception of the centre

seats) in the event of a serious side impact, in

order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the

head.

Advice

For the airbags to be fully eﬀective,

observe the safety recommendations

below.

Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.

Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.

Do not place anything between the occupants

and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do

not ﬁx or attach anything near or in the path of

the airbags, as this could cause injuries when

they are deployed.

Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and

the upper passenger compartment area.

This system protects the driver and front

passenger in the event of a serious side impact,

limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between

the hip and the shoulder.

Each lateral airbag is ﬁtted in the seat backrest

frame, on the door side.

Deployment

They are deployed on one side in the event

of a serious side impact applied to all or part

of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the

longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a

horizontal plane and directed from the outside

towards the inside of the vehicle.

Never modify the original deﬁnition of the

vehicle, particularly in the area directly around

the airbags.

Deployment

They are deployed on one side in the event

of a serious side impact applied to all or part

of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the

longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a

horizontal plane and directed from the outside

towards the inside of the vehicle.

The lateral airbag inﬂates between the front

occupant's abdomen and head and the

associated door trim panel.

The curtain airbag inﬂates between the outer

rear passenger and the windows.

Even if all of the precautions mentioned are

observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to

the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out

when an airbag is deployed. The bag inﬂates

almost instantly (within a few milliseconds)

then deﬂates within the same time,

discharging the hot gas via openings provided

for this purpose.

After an accident or if the vehicle has been

stolen, have the airbag systems checked.

All work must be carried out only by a Fiat

Dealership or a qualiﬁed workshop

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel.

Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualiﬁed

workshop to have the system checked.

The airbags may not be deployed in the event of

a serious impact.

– Statistically, the safest seats in your

vehicle for carrying children are the rear

seats.

– Children weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the "rearward facing" position,

whether in the front or rear of the vehicle.

Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags

can cause burns or the risk of injury from a

cigarette or pipe.

Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or

hit it violently.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the steering

wheel or dashboard, as this could cause

injuries when the airbags are deployed.

Feel, Shine, Business Lounge

It is recommended that children travel

on the rear seats of the vehicle:

– "rearward facing" up to the age of 3,

– "forward facing" over the age of 3.

Curtain airbags

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the roof,

as this could cause head injuries when the

curtain airbag is deployed.

Do not remove the grab handles installed on

the roof, as these help to secure the curtain

airbags.

Make sure that the seat belt is correctly

positioned and tightened.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure that

the support leg is in ﬁrm and steady contact

with the ﬂoor.

Lateral airbags

Use only approved seat covers

compatible with the deployment of these

airbags. For information on the range of seat

covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a Fiat

Dealership.

Do not ﬁx or attach anything to the seat

backrests (e.g. clothing) as this could cause

injuries to the chest or arm when the airbag is

deployed.

Do not sit with the upper part of the body any

nearer to the door than necessary.

The vehicle's front door panels include side

impact sensors.

A damaged door or any unauthorised or

incorrectly executed work (modiﬁcation or

repair) on the front doors or their interior trim

could compromise the operation of these

An incorrectly installed child seat in a

vehicle compromises the child's safety in

the event of an accident.

Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt

buckle under the child seat, as this could

destabilise it.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or the

child seat harness keeping the slack relative

to the child's body to a minimum, even for

short journeys.

When installing a child seat using the seat

belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened

correctly on the child seat and that it secures

the child seat ﬁrmly on the vehicle seat. If

Child seats

The regulations on carrying children are

speciﬁc to each country. Refer to the

legislation in force in your country.

For maximum safety, please observe the

following recommendations:

– In accordance with European regulations,

all children under the age of 12 or less than

1.5 metres tall must travel in approved child

seats suited to their weight, on seats ﬁtted with

a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings.

Safety

the passenger seat is adjustable, move it

forwards if necessary.

Remove the head restraint before

installing a child seat with a backrest on a

passenger seat.

Ensure that the head restraint is stored or

attached securely to prevent it from being

thrown around the vehicle in the event of

sharp braking. Reﬁt the head restraint once

the child seat has been removed.

– The keys within reach of children inside the

vehicle.

► Adjust the rear seat to the fully back

longitudinal position, with the backrest

straightened.

Ensure that the seat belt is correctly

tensioned.

For child seats with a support leg, ensure

that the support leg is in ﬁrm and steady

contact with the ﬂoor. If necessary, adjust the

vehicle's front seat.

Child seat at the rear

Row 2

Forward-facing or rearward-facing

Row 3

Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must be

positioned on the child's shoulder without

touching the neck.

Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt

passes correctly over the child's thighs.

Use a booster seat with a backrest, equipped

with a belt guide at shoulder level.

If a child seat is installed on a passenger seat in

the third row, move the seats in the second row

forward and straighten the backrests so that the

child seat and the child's legs do not touch the

seats in the second row.

Additional protections

To prevent accidental opening of the

doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock".

Take care not to open the rear windows by

more than one third.

To protect young children from the sun's rays,

ﬁt side blinds on the rear windows.

As a safety measure, do not leave:

– A child alone and unsupervised inside a

vehicle.

► Move the vehicle's front seat forward and

straighten the backrest so that the legs of the

child in the forward-facing or rearward-facing

child seat itself do not touch the vehicle's front

seat.

► Check that the backrest of the forward-facing

child seat is as close as possible to the backrest

of the vehicle's rear seat, and ideally in contact

with it.

Child seat at the front

► Adjust the front passenger seat to the

highest and fully back longitudinal position,

with the backrest straightened.

– A child or an animal in a vehicle which is

exposed to the sun, with the windows closed.

There are three rings for each seat:

– Two front rings A, located between the vehicle

seat backrest and cushion, indicated by an

"ISOFIX" or "i-Size" marking,

– If ﬁtted to your vehicle, a rear ring B, called a

Top Tether, is located behind the vehicle's seat

and is used to secure the upper strap and is

indicated by a "Top Tether" marking.

(d) To install a "rearward facing" or "forward

seats in front of it forward, then straighten

their backrests to allow suﬃcient room for

the child seat and the child's legs.

(e) The seat can be installed centrally in the

vehicle; it then prevents the use of the outer

seats.

The Top Tether secures the upper strap of child

seats ﬁtted with them. In case of frontal impact,

this device limits the extent to which the child

seat can tilt forward.
