ENGINE STARTING

FAILURE

Starting the engine with the

electronic key battery (Keyless

Entry/Go) run down or flat

This feature can be exploited so that

the engine does not switch off in

particular traffic conditions.

If the ignition device does not respond

when the relevant button is pressed

the electronic key battery might be run

down or flat. Therefore, the system

does not detect the presence of the

electronic key on board the car and

displays a dedicated message. In this

case, rest the rounded edge of the

electronic key (the side opposite the

metal insert) on the ignition device

and press the button using the

electronic key. The ignition device is

thus activated and the engine can be

started.

Switching the engine off (going from

MAR to STOP position) the accessories

are still supplied for about 3 minutes.

When the driver side door is opened

with instrument panel on, a brief

acoustic warning will be emitted. The

display will show a dedicated message.

When the starting device is at STOP,

the electric windows can still be

operated for about 3 minutes. Opening

one of the front doors cancels this

function.

WARNING when the engine is switched

on and off, a metallic noise may be

heard due to the opening/closing of the

electrical contacts. This noise is normal

and is not intended to be an anomaly.

Important notes

Do not leave the ignition device at MAR

when the engine is off.

If the vehicle is equipped with electronic

key (Keyless Entry / Keyless Go), at a

speed over 8 km/h it is still possible

to switch the engine off, also for

vehicles equipped with automatic

transmission/dual clutch automatic

transmission with lever in a position

other than P (Parking).

After a demanding drive, before turning

the engine off you should allow it to idle

to allow the temperature in the engine

compartment to decrease.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

For petrol and diesel versions

To stop the engine, proceed as follows:

park the car in a position that is not

dangerous for oncoming traffic;

engage a gear (versions with manual

transmission) or position the gear lever

to P (Park) (versions with automatic

transmission/dual clutch automatic

transmission);

IMPORTANT

To switch off the engine in this

situation, hold down the ignition device

button for a while or press it 3 times

in a row within a few seconds. In this

case the engine will stop and the

ignition device will switch to STOP.

With Keyless Entry / Keyless Go

system, it is possible to go away from

113) Do not try to start the engine pouring

fuel or other flammable fluid inside the

throttle body air intake: this might damage

the engine and injury people nearby.

enclosed areas. The engine consumes

oxygen and engine exhaust contains

carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and

other toxic gasses.

traffic conditions.

WARNING NEVER leave the car before

having positioned the lever in P.

GENERAL WARNINGS

With car stationary and gear engaged,

always keep the brake pedal pressed

until you decide to set off, then release

the brake and accelerate gradually.

During prolonged stops with the

engine running, it is advisable to keep

the transmission in neutral (N) or P

(Parking).

ACOUSTIC WARNING

For safety reasons, an acoustic

warning is emitted when the driver side

door is opened when the engine is

running and the gear lever is not in the

P position.

TOWING THE CAR

Make sure that the transmission is

in neutral (N), checking that the car

moves when pushed, and proceed in

the same way as for towing a normal

car with a manual transmission.

car is completely stopped.

In case of a gear lever failure, the

instrument panel display could show a

dedicated message recommending

that the driver continues driving without

shifting the lever to the P position.

In this case, the transmission will

maintain the forward gear (with

reduced performance) even if the lever

is shifted to R or N. Once the lever is in

the P position, or after turning off the

car, it will not be possible to select R

nor any forward gear. In this case,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

Although it is highly inadvisable,

if you are driving downhill and, for

unexpected reasons, you let the car

move forward with the transmission

in neutral (N), when there is a request

to engage a gear, depending on the

speed of the car, the system will

automatically engage the best gear for

the correct transmission of drive torque

FAULT WARNING

Acoustic warning

Parking sensor faults, if any, will

be indicated when reverse gear is

engaged by the switching on of the

symbol on the instrument panel

(see the description in the "Warning

lights and messages" paragraph, in

the "Knowing the instrument panel"

chapter).

When reverse is engaged and there

is an obstacle behind the vehicle, an

acoustic signal is activated and the

signal varies as the distance of the

obstacle from the bumper varies.

For versions with 7 sensors: if there

is an obstacle at the front and the car

is not stationary while in neutral, an

acoustic warning is activated when

the distance from the bumper to the

obstacle changes.

For the version with 7 sensors, a LED

on the park assist switch comes on of

there are any parking sensor faults. The

LED also comes on when the system is

disabled.

Detection distances

If several obstacles are detected by

the sensors, only the nearest one is

considered.

The frequency of the acoustic warning:

increases as the distance between

the car and the obstacle decreases;

becomes continuous when the

distance separating the vehicle from

the obstacle is less than about 30 cm;

is constant if the distance between

the car and the obstacle is unchanged.

If this situation concerns the side

sensors, the signal will stop after

approximately 3 seconds to avoid, for

example, indications in the event of

manoeuvres along a wall.

Warning on display

OPERATION WITH A

TRAILER

The warnings regarding the Park Assist

system are shown only if the "Acoustic

"Settings" menu of the Uconnect™

or Uconnect™ 7" HD system (where

provided) was previously selected (for

more information, see the description in

the dedicated chapter).

The operation of the sensors is

automatically deactivated when the

trailer's electrical connection is inserted

in the car's tow hook socket.

Sensors are reactivated on removing

the trailer's electrical connection.

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

very quickly keeping the jet more than 10

cm away. High pressure water jets may

damage the sensors.

40) 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.

41) Only have the bumper repainted or

operation of the parking sensors. If a

fixed tow hook is installed, the sensors

cannot be used. If the customer installs

a removable tow hook, it should be

disconnected from the crossmember

whenever the trailer is not attached to

prevent the activation of the sensors.

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, paint,

etc. 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;

IMPORTANT

129) 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.

car must be fitted with an approved

tow hook and an adequate electrical

system. Should aftermarket installation

be requested, this must be carried out

by a specialised technician.

133) 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

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.

Red area (1): 0 - 30 cm

Yellow area (2): 30 cm - 1 m

Messages on the display

If the tailgate is lifted, the camera will

not detect any obstacle in the car rear

part. The display will show a dedicated

warning message.

Install any specific and/or additional

rear-view 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.

In this case, lower the tailgate by the

suitable handle, pressing next to the

lock until it clicks (see the "Closing"

paragraph in the "Boot" chapter).

low, consumption levels increase as

resistance to rolling is higher.

Engage a low gear when driving

downhill, rather than constantly using

the brake.

INSTALLING A TOW

HOOK

To install a tow hook contact a Fiat

Dealership.

Unnecessary loads

The weight the trailer exerts on the car

tow hook reduces the loading capacity

of the car by the same amount. To

make sure that the maximum towable

weight is not exceeded (given in the

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.

In any case, the top speed must not

exceed 100 km/h.

Do not travel with an overloaded

boot. The weight of the car and

its arrangement greatly affect fuel

consumption and stability.

IMPORTANT

Roof rack/ski rack

(where provided)

134) The ABS with which the car is

equipped will not control the braking

system of the trailer. Particular caution is

required on slippery roads.

135) Never modify the braking system

of the vehicle to control the trailer brake.

The trailer braking system must be fully

independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic

system.

Remove the roof rack or the ski rack

from the roof when they are not used.

These accessories lower aerodynamic

penetration and adversely affect

consumption levels. When transporting

particularly large objects, use a trailer if

possible.

Any electric brake must be powered

directly by the traditional battery

through a cable with a cross-section of

no less than 2.5 mm².

DRIVING TIPS

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 fuel

consumption (by up to +25% in an

urban cycle).

SAVING FUEL

Below are some suggestions which

may help you save fuel and thus lower

the amount of harmful emissions

released into the atmosphere.

In addition to the electrical branches,

the car electrical system can only be

connected to the supply cable for an

electric brake and to the cable for

an internal light for the trailer, not

exceeding 15W. For connections use

the preset control unit with battery

cable with cross-section no less than

2.5 mm².

Car maintenance

Checks and operations should be

carried out in accordance with

the "Service Schedule" (see the

"Maintenance and care" chapter).

Climate control system

Using the climate control system will

increase consumption: use standard

ventilation when the temperature

outside permits.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressures at least once

every four weeks: if the pressure is too

WARNING The use of auxiliary loads

other than external lights (e.g. electric

brake) must take place with engine

running.

141

Devices for aerodynamic control

The use of non-certified devices for

aerodynamic control may adversely

affect air drag and consumption levels.

Top speed

TRANSPORTING

PASSENGERS

Important notes

Fuel consumption considerably

increases as speed increases.

Maintain a constant speed, avoiding

unnecessary braking and acceleration,

which cost in terms of both fuel

consumption and emissions.

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.

DRIVING STYLE

Start

Do not warm up the heat engine at

low or high revs when the vehicle is

stationary; this causes the heat engine

to warm up more slowly, thereby

increasing fuel consumption and

emissions. It is therefore advisable to

move off immediately, slowly, avoiding

high speeds: in this way the heat

engine will warm up faster.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently severely

affects consumption and emissions:

acceleration should be gradual and

should not exceed the maximum

torque.

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.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Unnecessary actions

Short journeys and frequent cold starts

do not allow the heat engine to reach

optimum operating temperature.

Consequently, both consumption (from

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

emissions will increase.

WARNING Ensure that all the

Avoid revving up when starting at traffic

lights or before stopping the engine.

The latter action, as well as double-

declutching, is unnecessary and

causes increased fuel consumption

and pollution.

occupants of the car wear their seat

belts correctly and that any children are

positioned correctly on the dedicated

child restraint systems.

Traffic and road conditions

EXHAUST GAS

Gear selection

High fuel consumption is caused

by heavy traffic, for instance when

travelling in a queue with frequent use

of low gears or in cities with many

traffic lights. Winding mountain roads

and rough road surfaces also adversely

affect consumption.

Adequate maintenance of the exhaust

system represents the best protection

against leaks of carbon monoxide into

the passenger compartment.

Use a high gear when traffic and road

conditions allow it. 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.

Should an unusual noise from the

exhaust system or the presence

of exhaust gas in the passenger

compartment be identified, or if the

underbody or rear part of the car is

damaged, have the entire exhaust

REFUELING PROCEDURE

Diesel and petrol versions

"Capless Fuel" is a device at the

opening for the fuel tank which opens

and re-closes automatically when the

fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.

The "Capless Fuel" device is provided

with an inhibitor which prevents

refuelling with incorrect fuel.
