WARNING
95)
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
25)
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 by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault.
COMFORT-MATIC/
DUALOGIC
TRANSMISSION
The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled mechanical
transmission (Comfort-Matic or
Dualogic) which has two operating
modes: MANUAL and AUTO.
The transmission consists of a
traditional instruction transmission with a
lever fig. 134, to which an electronically
controlled electro-hydraulic device has
been added to automatically control
the clutch and gear the engagement.

29)
To keep the clutch in good condition,
do not use the accelerator to keep the
car stationary (e.g. when stopped facing
uphill); the clutch could be damaged by
overheating. Use the brake pedal instead
and operate the accelerator only when you
are ready to set off.
START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary 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.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STARTING AND DRIVING
108
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops
with the brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained even
if the brake pedal is not depressed, if
the gear lever is in position N.
Note: The engine can only be stopped
automatically after a speed of about 10
km/h is reached, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled
by a fig. 138 symbol on the display,
depending on the trim level.
138
F0V0040
With the device activated, for reasons
of comfort, limiting emissions and
safety, the engine does not stop in
certain conditions.
Restarting the engine
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N, place it
in any other gear, otherwise release the
brake pedal or move the gear lever to
(+), (–) or R.
For reasons of comfort, limiting
pollutant emissions and safety
purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on
behalf of the driver.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
The system can be
activated/deactivated using the button
(A) fig. 139 on the control panel.
When the function is not active,
the button LED is on. In addition, on
some versions, additional information
concerning the deactivation or
activation of the Start&Stop system
is given through a message on the
display.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, if the driver
unfastens his/her seat belt and opens
the driver's door or the passenger
door, the engine can be restarted only
by using the key.
139
F0V0514
The driver is notified of this condition
by a buzzer, through the instrument
panel warning light fig. 138 flashing
and, where provided, by a message in
the display.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy pole fig. 140
If the vehicle is inactive, special care
must be taken to disconnect the
battery electrical power supply.
The procedure must be performed
by disconnecting the quick release
negative terminal (A) from the dummy
negative terminal (B); this is because a
battery status monitoring sensor (D) is
fitted on the negative battery terminal
(C) and should never be disconnected
except for when the battery is actually
replaced.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
109
140
F0V0042

or turned to the OFF position. When
refuelling, make sure that the vehicle
is switched off with the key in the OFF
position.
99)
For vehicles with robotised gearbox,
if the engine is stopped downhill, the
engine must be restarted by the gear lever
towards (+) or (-) without releasing the
brake pedal. For vehicles with robotised
gearbox and Hill Holder function, in case
of engine automatic stop with the car
downhill, the engine must be restarted
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-)
without releasing the brake pedal, so that
the Hill Holder function becomes available,
as it works only with engine running.

TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
101) 102) 103) 104) 105) 106) 107) 108) 109)
DESCRIPTION
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel (together with a warning
message and an acoustic signal).
The indication continues until the
pressure corresponds to or exceeds
that specified for cold tyres. After the
automatic update of the system, the
tyre pressure control warning light
switches off. You may need to drive the
vehicle for about 20 minutes at a speed
higher than 20 km/h to allow the TPMS
to receive this information.
Tyre pressure must always be adjusted
according to the cold inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the vehicle stand
for at least three hours or a travel
shorter than 1.6 km after an interval of
three hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.
NOTE
The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while adjusting
the tyre inflation pressure.
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can result
in tyre failure. The low inflation pressure
reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread
life and may also affect handling and
braking performance of the vehicle.
The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct
tyre pressure level measuring it with
a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure.
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
WARNING Monitoring and maintaining
the correct pressure in all four tyres are
particularly important.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warning
WARNING In the case of deflation
of more than one tyre sequentially,
without switching off and on the
engine, from the second tyre involved
the acoustic signal is not activated,
only the dedicated signal is shown
on the display. To prevent the signal
from being stored in the event of
pressure loss of a subsequent tyre
(with deactivation of the acoustic
signal), the ignition key must be turned
to MAR and then to STOP, each time
pressure is restored.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by the
warning light
which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
WARNING
101)
The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels provided. TPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
111
is equipped with TPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
102)
If the system signals a pressure drop
on a specific tyre, it is recommended to
check the pressure on all four tyres.
103)
The TPMS does not relieve the
driver from the obligation to check the
tyre pressure every month; it is not even
to be considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
104)
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.
105)
The TPMS 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.
106)
The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
107)
Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
108)
Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure. This
prevents dampness or dirt from entering
the valve stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being damaged.
109)
The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original one are
used, it is recommended to have the
TPMS sensor operation checked by a
qualified repair centre.
SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a speed
limitation function that can be set on
the user's request to one of four default
values: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker will
be applied to the windscreen showing
the top speed setting.
IMPORTANT The speedometer could
indicate a higher maximum speed than
the effective one, set by the Dealership,
in accordance with the regulations in
force.
CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic driving aid that
allows you to drive at a speed of
above 30 km/h on long and straight
dry roads (e.g. motorways) with few
driving changes (e.g. motorway
routes) at a preset speed without
having to press the accelerator pedal.
It is therefore not recommended to
use this device on extra-urban roads
with traffic. Do not use the device in
town.
Activating the device
When the device is activated, warning
light
comes on together with the
relevant message in the instrument
panel (for versions/markets where
provided).
The speed adjustment function cannot
be activated in 1st or reverse gear; it is
advisable to activate the function in 4th
or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
activated, the vehicle speed may
exceed the memorised one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STARTING AND DRIVING
112
110) 111)
Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut (A) fig. 143 to the ON
position and press the accelerator
pedal so that the vehicle reaches the
desired speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it: the
vehicle speed is memorised and you
can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible
by simply pressing the accelerator
pedal: releasing the accelerator pedal,
the vehicle will return to the speed
memorised previously.
Restoring the stored
speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by depressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the stored speed can be
restored as follows:
accelerate progressively until a speed
close to that stored is reached;
143
F0V0092
engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
press the (B) fig. 143 button.
Increasing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
by pressing the accelerator and
memorizing the new speed reached;
or
by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will
correspond to a slight increase in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the lever upwards will increase the
speed continuously.
Reducing the
memorised speed
This can be done in two ways:
by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
or
by moving the stalk downwards
(-) until the new speed, which will
automatically remain memorised, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
by turning ring nut A to the OFF
position;
if the engine is stopped (leaving
the stalk ring nut at ON), when the
ignition key is next turned to ON, Cruise
Control will be activated automatically.
Deactivating the
function
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
by pressing the brake pedal when
the device is adjusting the speed:
by pressing the clutch pedal when
the device is adjusting the speed;
by pressing button (B) fig. 143 when
the device is adjusting the speed (for
versions/markets, where provided);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
113
by pressing the accelerator pedal
(in this case the system is not actually
turned off but the acceleration request
takes priority; the cruise control
remains activated, without the need to
the press button (B) fig. 143 to restore
the previous conditions once the
acceleration is over).
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
if the ABS or ESC systems intervene;
with the vehicle speed below the set
limit;
in the event of system failure.
WARNING
110)
While driving with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
111)
In the event of device faults or
failures, turn knob (A) to OFF and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful
for setting off in poor grip conditions
(snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the
drive force to be distributed in the best
way over the front axle when one wheel
is slipping.
Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those
slipping more than the others), thereby
transferring the drive force to those
which have greater grip on the ground.
This function can be turned on
instructionly by pressing the button (A)
fig. 144 on the dashboard and works
below a level of 50 km/h.
Over this speed, it is automatically
deactivated and it is reactivated again
when the speed is below 50 km/h.
144
F0V0575
Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system, press the button (A) fig. 144.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on
the front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction on irregular
grounds.
If the "Traction Plus" system is faulty,
the "general failure" instrument panel
warning light
comes on steady.
PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper
fig. 145 and their function is to inform
the driver, through an intermittent
beeping noise, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
145
F0V0077
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STARTING AND DRIVING
114
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer
to the bumper, the frequency of the
acoustic signal increases.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by
the sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
112)
OPERATION WITH A
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket. The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTES
113)
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor.
Sometimes, objects located very
near the rear of the vehicle are not
detected and could therefore damage
the vehicle or be damaged themselves.
The following conditions may influence
the performance of the parking
assistance system:
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
washing the vehicle, in case of rain,
strong wind, hail.
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 performance of the parking
assistance system may also be
affected by the position of the sensors.
For example by a change in the
ride setting (caused by the wear of
the shock absorbers, suspension),
changing the tyres, overloading the
vehicle and carrying out specific tuning
operations that require the vehicle to be
lowered.
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.
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.
Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
WARNING
112)
The sensor must be free of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system
to work. Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths.
The sensors must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of vehicle
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.
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
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
115
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.

the vehicle, as seen by the rear
camera.
The images are shown on the display
together with a warning message.
When reverse is not engaged, the rear
camera may be switched on using
the setting menu (Camera ON/OFF).
If the "Camera Delay" option is not
activated, the image of the camera
will be deactivated as soon as reverse
is disengaged and the display will go
back to Navigation or Audio mode.
By activating the "Camera Delay"
option on the menu, the camera
image will continue to be viewed for
up to 10 seconds after disengaging
reverse except for when the following
conditions occur:
vehicle speed above 13 km/h;
gear lever in P (Park - versions
with automatic transmission, where
provided);
ignition device in the STOP position.
148
F0V0261
When the gear lever is no longer in
reverse and the "Camera Delay" setting
is on, a button for deactivating the
display of the image from the camera
appears on the Uconnect™ system
display along with the images to the
rear.
NOTE If the tailgate is not closed
correctly, the rear camera cannot

provide an accurate image of the area
behind the vehicle. The image will
appear on the display together with a
warning message.
NOTE The displayed image may look a
bit distorted.
DISPLAY AND MESSAGES
When the rear camera is active, a
grid appears with multi-colour static
lines superimposed on the picture to
highlight the vehicle’s width.
The various coloured areas indicate
the distance from the rear part of the
vehicle. The table below shows the
approximate distances for each area:
Zone (see figure)

WARNING In some circumstances,
such as with ice, snow or mud on the
surface of the camera, the camera
sensitivity may be reduced.
WARNING When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may
be above or under the camera range.
WARNING
114)
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.
IMPORTANT
30)
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.
31)
To prevent damage to the vehicle, the
rear camera should be used only as an
additional parking aid; it is not capable
of viewing all the obstacles and objects
along the vehicle’s path during parking
manoeuvres.
32)
To prevent damage to the vehicle,
the driver should proceed as slowly as
possible when parking to be able to stop
promptly if necessary. We recommend the
driver check the area behind the vehicle
often while parking.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
WARNING Never introduce leaded
petrol to the tank, even in small
amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
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
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
117
DURANCE DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the fuel.
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.
33)
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.
FUEL TANK CAP
Opening
1) Open the flap (A) fig. 149 by pulling it
outwards, keep the cap (B) still, insert
the ignition key in the lock and turn it
anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it. The cap has a device (C)
that attaches it to the flap so it cannot
be lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
149
F0V0086
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once or
more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap. The sealing may
cause a slight pressure increase in
the tank. A little breathing off, while
slackening the cap is absolutely
normal.
34)
TOPPING UP ADBLUE®
DIESEL EMISSIONS
ADDITIVE (UREA)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures
lower than -11°C. If the vehicle stands
for a long time at this temperature
refilling could be difficult. For this
reason, it is advised to park the vehicle
in a garage and/or heated environment
and wait for the UREA to return to
liquid state before topping up.
Proceed as follows:
park the vehicle on ground level;
stop the engine by turning the
ignition device to MAR;
open the fuel flap A (A)fig. 150 and
then unscrew and remove the cap
(B) (blue colour) fig. 150 from the
AdBlue® filler.
Refilling with nozzles

Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue® nozzle in the
filler, start refilling and stop refilling at
the first shut-off (the shut-off indicates
that the AdBlue® tank is full).
Do not proceed with the refilling, to
prevent spillage
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STARTING AND DRIVING
118
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the AdBlue® tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling,
after the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in
the "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter), fill the AdBlue® tank with no
more than 9 litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is
full when the AdBlue® level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap (B) fig. 150 back on the
AdBlue® filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the starter switch to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the vehicle. The indication
may stay on for a few seconds to
approximately half a minute.
If the engine is started and the vehicle
is moved, the indication will remain on
for longer. This will not compromise
engine operation;
if the AdBlue® was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the "Refuelling
" paragraph in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter and wait for 2
minutes before starting the engine.
WARNING If AdBlue® is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage
to the reservoir. UREA freezes at
under -11
°
C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the UREA, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyond
the maximum level because if the
UREA freezes the system can be
damaged. Follow the instructions
in the "Topping up AdBlue®
(UREA) diesel emissions additive"
paragraph in this chapter.
If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium, immediately
clean the area with water and use
absorbent material to collect the
fluid that has been spilled on the
ground.
Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added to
the Diesel fuel tank, this can result
in serious engine damage, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Do not add additives or other
fluids to AdBlue®, doing so could
damage the system.
The use of non-conforming
or degraded AdBlue® may lead
to indications appearing on the
instrument panel display (see
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
Never pour AdBlue® into
another container: it could be
contaminated.
In case of damage to the sewage
system of exhaust gas resulting
from the use of additives / tap
water, the introduction of diesel
fuel, or at least by not fulfilling the
requirements, the warranty expires.
If the AdBlue® runs out, see
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter
to continue using the vehicle
normally.
AdBlue® UREA) storage
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.

IMPORTANT
33)
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.
34)
Do not approach naked flames or lit
cigarettes to the fuel tank filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
35)
If AdBlue® overheats for a prolonged
period inside the tank to over 50°C (for
example, due to direct solar irradiation),
the AdBlue ® may decompose and
produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour when the
cap of the AdBlue ® tank is unscrewed,
therefore be careful not to inhale any
ammonia vapours in the tank outlet. In this
concentration, however, the ammonia
vapours are not harmful or dangerous to
health.
36)
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 personnel 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
spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
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.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 80 km/h.

WARNING
115)
The ABS with which the vehicle
may be equipped will not control the
trailer's braking system. Particular caution
is required on slippery roads.
116)
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.
