Driving

Brake system operational.
Seat belts fastened for all passengers.
Stabilised speed on roads with no or low
curvature.

This warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel without any additional

message, to indicate that the automatic braking
system is not available.
This is a normal behavior indicating that a

condition is not fulfilled and which does not

request the support of a workshop.
In any situations with ignition on where automatic
braking presents a risk, deactivating the

system via the vehicle's configuration menu is

recommended, for instance:
– Towing a trailer (particularly a trailer without its
own braking system).
– Carrying long objects on roof bars or roof rack.
– Driving with snow chains.
– Using an automatic car wash.
– Performing any maintenance (e.g. changing a
wheel, working inside the engine compartment).
– Placing the vehicle on a rolling bench in a
workshop.
– Towing the vehicle.
– Following a front bumper deformation.
– Following an impact to the windscreen close to
the detection camera.

The system diagnoses permanently its
capability and may inhibit itself without

specific driver indication, if the system is

outside of the regular operating conditions

(e.g. sensor initialization, board voltage out of
regular range, activation of stability system).
Therefore, the system may not be available
just after starting the vehicle.

It can be dangerous to drive if the brake
lamps are not in perfect working order.

The driver must not overload the vehicle
(keep within the GVW limit and load

height limits for roof bars).

Following an impact (e.g. a collision), the
system is automatically deactivated.

Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

Collision Risk Alert

This function warns the driver if there is a risk
of collision with the preceding vehicle, or with a
pedestrian or cyclist.

Modifying the alert trigger threshold

This trigger threshold determines the sensitivity
with which the function warns of the risk of
collision.

The threshold is set via the vehicle

configuration menu with the audio

system or touch screen.

► Select one of the three pre-defined

thresholds: "

Far

", "

Normal

" or "

Close

".

The last threshold selected is memorised when

the ignition is switched off.

Operation

Depending on the collision risk detected by the
system and the alert trigger threshold chosen

by the driver, different levels of alert may be

triggered and displayed on the instrument panel.
The system takes into account the vehicle

dynamics, the difference speed of the own

vehicle and the object identified for the

collision risk, and the operation of the vehicle
(e.g. actions on the pedals, steering wheel) to
trigger the alert at the most relevant moment.

(orange)

Level 1

: visual alert only, warning that the

preceding vehicle is very close.
The message "

Vehicle close

" is displayed.

(red)

Level 2

: visual and audible alert, warning

that a collision is imminent.
The message "

Brake!

" is displayed.

While approaching a vehicle too quickly,
the level 2 alert may be displayed

directly.

Important:

the level 1 alert depends on the

trigger threshold selected. It reacts only on
moving vehicles. It is disabled automatically
at lower speed.

Driving

6

It is possible that collision warnings are
not given, are given too late or seem

unjustified.

The driver must always stay in control of the
vehicle and be prepared to react at any time
to avoid an accident.

Intelligent emergency

braking assistance (iEBA)

This function supplements braking in the event
that the driver brakes, but not enough to avoid a
collision.
This assistance will only be provided if the driver
presses the brake pedal.

Active Safety Brake

This function, also called "automatic emergency
braking", intervenes after the acoustic alert if the
driver does not operate the brake pedal quickly
enough.
The system aims at reducing the speed of
impact or avoiding a collision if the driver fails to
react.

The speed will be reduced by a
maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions

with camera only) or by a maximum of 31
mph (50 km/h) (versions with camera and
radar).

Operation

The system operates subject to the following
conditions:
– At reduced speed in an urban environment,
when a stationary vehicle, pedestrian or cyclist
is detected.
– The vehicle's speed is between 6 mph and
53 mph (10 km/h and 85 km/h) (versions with
camera only) or 87 mph (140 km/h) (versions
with camera and radar) when a moving vehicle
is detected.

This warning lamp flashes (for

approximately 10 seconds) as soon as

the function applies the vehicle’s brakes.

During the flashing time, the function is not

available.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking, keep the brake
pedal depressed, also after a complete stop is
reached, to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of automatic
emergency braking bringing the vehicle to a
complete stop, the engine may stall.

The driver can override the automatic

emergency braking at any time by firmly

turning the steering wheel and/or firmly

depressing the accelerator pedal.

14/02/2022 15:33:40

166

Driving

The brake pedal may feel hard and
vibrate slightly while the function is

operating.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
automatic braking is maintained for 1 to 2
seconds.

Deactivation/Activation

By default, the system is automatically activated
at every engine start.

The settings are changed via the

vehicle configuration menu.

Deactivation of the system is signalled by
the illumination of this warning lamp,

accompanied by the display of a message.

Malfunction

This warning lamp lights up on the
instrument panel with the message

"

Sensor blind

" in certain cases.

Version with camera only:

the system is

deactivated.

Version with camera and radar:

the system

may continue to operate in a degraded mode.
This may be caused by a reduced visibility
(e.g. rain, fog, snow, blinding by low sun) or by
a real sensor blockage. In this case, stop the
vehicle and verify if the front camera or the front
radar is covered by dirt, snow, ice or anything
preventing the sensing.

In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,

accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

If these warning lamps come on after the

engine has been switched off and then

restarted, contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualified

workshop to have the system checked.

These warning lamps light up on
the instrument panel and/or in the

warning lamp display for seat belts and front
passenger airbag to indicate that the driver's
and/or front passenger's seat belt is not fastened
(depending on version). The automatic braking
system is deactivated until the seat belts are
fastened.

Lane departure warning
system

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

System that uses a camera to recognise

continuous or broken lines on traffic lanes and

triggers an alert if the vehicle wanders off line.

If the direction indicator is not used at speeds
above 50 mph (80 km/h) and there is a risk of
one of these lines on the road surface being
crossed, the system triggers the alert.
This system is particularly useful on motorways
and main roads.

Detection - Alert

You are alerted

by the flashing of this

warning lamp in the instrument panel,

accompanied by an audible signal.

No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for

approximately 20 seconds after the direction

The button flashes and a fault

appears.

Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualified

workshop.

Detection may be impeded:
– If the markings on the ground are worn

and not clearly contrasted against the road
surface.
– If the windscreen is dirty.
– In certain extreme weather conditions:
fog, heavy rain, snow, shade, bright sunlight
or direct exposure to the sun (e.g. low sun,
leaving a tunnel).

Distraction detection

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

Depending on version, the function consists of

either the "Coffee Break Alert" system alone or

combined with the "Driver Attention Warning"
system.

These systems are in no way designed
to keep the driver awake or to prevent

the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Take a break if you are feeling tired or at least
every 2 hours.

Activation/Deactivation

This function is set via the vehicle

configuration menu.

The function is activated by default when the
ignition is switched on.

Coffee Break Alert

The system triggers an alert when it
detects that the driver has not taken a

break after two hours of driving at a speed above
43 mph (70 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a message
encouraging the driver to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the alert
is repeated hourly until the vehicle is stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
– With the engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes.

– The ignition has been switched off for a few

minutes.
– The driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.

As soon as the speed of the vehicle

drops below 43 mph (70 km/h), the

system goes into standby.
Driving time starts being counted again once
the speed reaches above 43 mph (70 km/h).

Driver Attention Warning

Depending

on version, the Coffee Break Alert

system may be combined with the Driver
Attention Warning system.

The system assesses the driver's level of
alertness, fatigue and distraction by

identifying trajectory changes in relation to the
lane markings.
To do this, the system uses a camera, placed on
the upper part of the windscreen.

14/02/2022 15:33:41

168

Driving

This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 43 mph (70 km/h)).

At a first alert level, the driver is warned by the

message "

Be vigilant!

", accompanied by an

audible signal.

After three first-level alerts, the system triggers

a further alert with the message "

Dangerous

driving: take a break

", accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.

In certain driving conditions (poor road
surface or strong winds), the system may

give alerts independent of the driver's level of
vigilance.

The following situations may interfere
with the operation of the system or

prevent it from working:
– lane markings absent, worn, hidden (snow,
mud) or multiple (roadworks);
– close to the vehicle ahead (lane markings
not detected);
– roads that are narrow, winding, etc.

Blind spot monitoring

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

This system warns the driver of a potential
danger posed by the presence of another vehicle
(car, lorry, motorcycle) in the vehicle's blind

spots (areas hidden from the driver's field of

vision) using sensors located on the sides of the
bumpers.

A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on the
side in question:
–

fixed

, immediately, when being overtaken;

–

flashing

, after a delay of about one second,

when overtaking a vehicle slowly, and when the
direction indicator is used.

Operation

Sensors fitted in the

front and rear bumpers

monitor the blind spots.

The alert is given by an orange warning lamp
coming on in the relevant door mirror, as soon as
a vehicle - car, lorry, bicycle - is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
– all vehicles are moving in the same direction
and in adjacent lanes,
– the speed of your vehicle must be between 7
and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),

– you overtake a vehicle with a speed difference

of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
– a vehicle overtakes you with a speed

difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),

– the traffic is flowing normally,

– overtaking a vehicle over a certain period of
time where the vehicle being overtaken remains
in the blind spot,
– you are driving on a straight or slightly curved
road,
– your vehicle is not towing a trailer, a caravan,
etc.

Driving

This system detects and signals the proximity of
obstacles (e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier)
using sensors located in the bumper.

Rear parking sensors

► Engage

reverse gear to start the system

(confirmed by an audible signal).

The system is switched off when reverse gear is

disengaged.

Audible assistance

The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the sensors’ detection zone.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.

Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars on the screen that move
progressively nearer to the vehicle (green: more
distant obstacles; yellow: close obstacles; red:
very close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.

Front parking sensors

Supplementing the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the
vehicle is below 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front parking sensor operation is suspended if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in
forward gear, if an obstacle is no longer detected
or the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) locates the obstacle relative to

the vehicle, in front or behind it.

affecting distance measurements.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction when
changing into reverse gear, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal (short beep).
Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch
screen using a camera located at the rear of the
vehicle.

The screen is divided into two parts with a
contextual view and a view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
– Standard view.
– 180° view.
– Zoom view.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The system status is not saved when the ignition

is switched off.

Principle of operation

Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.

The display disappears above
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).

The system is automatically deactivated
about 7 seconds after coming out of reverse
or on opening a door or the boot.

Activation

Activation is automatic on engaging reverse gear
at a speed lower than 6 mph (10 km/h).

14/02/2022 15:33:42

The function will be deactivated:
– If a trailer is attached or a bicycle

carrier is fitted on a towing device (vehicle

fitted with a towing device installed in line with

the manufacturer's recommendations).
– Above about 6 mph (10 km/h).
– When the boot is opened.
– Upon changing out of reverse gear (the
image remains displayed for 7 seconds).
– By pressing the white arrow in the upper-
left corner of the touch screen.

AUTO mode

This mode is activated by default.
Using sensors in the rear bumper, the automatic
view changes from the rear view (standard) to
the view from above (zoom) as an obstacle is
approached at the level of the red line (less than
30 cm) during a manoeuvre.

Standard view

The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.

The blue lines

1

represent the width of your

vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction
changes according to the position of the steering
wheel.
The red line

2

represents a distance of 30 cm

from the rear bumper; the two blue lines

3

and

4

represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.

Zoom view

The camera records the vehicle's surroundings
during the manoeuvre in order to create a
view from above the rear of the vehicle in its
near surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around nearby obstacles.
This view is available with AUTO mode or in the
view selection menu.

Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.

It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.

180° view

The 180° view facilitates reversing out of a
parking space, making it possible to see the
approach of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
It features 3 areas: left

Practical information

Compatibility of fuels

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734

and EN16709 standards and containing up to

7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940

standard.

The use of any other type of (bio) fuel
(e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal

oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!

The only Diesel fuel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the B715000

standard.

Diesel at low temperature

At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the

formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel

fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.

At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).

Travelling abroad

Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s

engine.

In certain countries, the use of a particular

fuel may be required (specific octane rating,

specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct

operation of the engine.

For all additional information, consult a dealer.

Refuelling

Fuel tank capacity: approximately 69 litres.

Reserve level: approximately 6 litres.

Low fuel level

When the low fuel level is reached,
one of these warning lamps lights

up on the instrument panel, accompanied by the
display of a message and an audible signal.

When it first comes on,

about 8 litres

of fuel

remain.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on

Running out of fuel

(Diesel)

, refer to the corresponding section.

A small arrow by the warning lamp

indicates which side of the vehicle the

fuel filler flap is located on.

Stop & Start

Never refuel with the engine in STOP

mode; you must switch off the ignition.

Refuelling

At least 8 litres of fuel must be added, in order to
be registered by the fuel gauge.

Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused

by an inrush of air. This is entirely normal and
results from the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:

►

Always switch off the engine.

► Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Entry

and Start.

► Open the fuel filler flap.

14/02/2022 15:33:43

175

Practical information

7

► With a conventional key, insert the key into

the filler cap, then turn the key to the left.

► Unscrew and remove the filler cap, then

place it on the holder located on the fuel filler

flap.

► Insert the nozzle and push it in fully (while

pushing on the metal valve

A

).

► Fill the tank. Do not continue past the

third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause

malfunctions.

► Put the filler cap back in place and close it by

turning to the right.

► Push the fuel filler flap to close it (your

vehicle must be unlocked).

If the vehicle is equipped with a sliding
door on its left-hand side, do not open it

while the fuel filler flap is open (risk of

damaging the fuel filler flap and the sliding

door and risk of injuring the person filling up).

If the fuel filler flap is open and you try to

open the left-hand side door, a

mechanism prevents it from being opened.
The door can be opened half-way, however.

With a mechanical door, close the fuel filler

flap to regain use of the door.

With an electric door, to be able to use it

correctly, close the fuel filler flap and then

press an opening control.

The vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter,

which helps to reduce the level of harmful
emissions in the exhaust gases.

If you have put in the wrong fuel for

your vehicle, you must have the fuel

tank drained and filled with the correct fuel

before starting the engine.

Fuel cut-off

Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that

cuts off the supply of fuel in the event of an

impact.

Diesel misfuel prevention

Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank

of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps avoid the

risk of engine damage that can result from filling

with the wrong fuel.

Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention

device appears when the filler cap is removed.

When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the

fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes

into contact with the flap. The system remains

closed and prevents filling.

14/02/2022 15:33:43

176

Practical information

Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type

filler nozzle.

It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill

the tank slowly.

In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do

not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct

contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention

device.

Travelling abroad

As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be

different in other countries, the presence

of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, it is advisable to
check with a Fiat Dealership if the vehicle is
suitable for the distribution equipment of the
countries visited.

Charging system
(Electric)

400 V electrical system

The electric drive system, which operates at a

voltage of approximately 400 V, is identified by

orange cables and its components are marked
with this symbol:

An electric vehicle’s power train can

become hot during use and after

switching off the ignition.

Comply with the warning messages shown
on the labels, particularly inside the charging

flap.

High voltage system voltage is
dangerous and can cause burns or other

injuries or even fatal electric shock.
Since damage to high voltage components is
not visible, Fiat recommends that you:
– Never touch the components, damaged
or not, and never let your jewelry or other
metallic objects come into contact with these
components.
– Never work on the orange high voltage
cables or on any other high voltage
component marked with the Electric risk label.
Any intervention on the high voltage system

must be carried out by qualified persons in

workshops qualified and approved to carry

out this type of work.
– Never damage, modify or remove the
orange high voltage cables or disconnect
them from the high voltage network.

– Never open, modify or remove the cover of
the traction battery.
– Never work with cutting and forming
tools or heat sources near high voltage
components and cables.

In case of low level of fluid in the cooling

tank, the refilling shall only be performed in a

qualified and trained workshop to verify that

the leakage is not in the traction battery.
Any intervention on the high voltage system

must be carried out by qualified persons in

workshops qualified and approved to carry

out this type of work.
Damage to the vehicle or the traction battery
could result in the leakage of toxic gases

or fluids either immediately or later. Fiat

recommends that you:

– Always inform the fire and emergency

services in the event of an incident, warning
that the vehicle is equipped with a traction
battery.
– Never touch the liquids leaking from the
traction battery.
– Do not inhale the gases emitted by the
traction battery which are toxic.
– Move away from the vehicle in the event of
incident or accident, the gases emitted being

flammable and could cause a fire.

Practical information

7

This label is intended solely for use by

firefighters and maintenance services in

the event of any work on the vehicle.
No other person must touch the device shown
on this label.

In the event of an accident or impact

to the vehicle’s underbody

In these situations, the electrical circuit or the
traction battery can be seriously damaged.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch

off the ignition.

Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualified

workshop.

In the event of exposure to a fire

Immediately exit and evacuate all

passengers from the vehicle. Never attempt

to fight the fire yourself - risk of electrocution!

You must immediately contact the emergency
services, informing them that the incident
involves an electric vehicle.

When washing

Before washing the vehicle, always

check that the charging flap is closed

correctly.
Never wash the vehicle while the battery is
on charge.

High-pressure washing

To avoid damaging the electrical

components, it is expressly prohibited to
use high-pressure washing in the engine
compartment or under the body.
Do not use a pressure greater than 80 bar
when washing the bodywork.

Never allow water or dust to enter the
connector or charging nozzle - risk of

electrocution or fire!

Never connect / disconnect the charging
nozzle or cable with wet hands - risk of
electrocution!

Traction battery

This battery stores the energy that powers
the electric motor and the thermal comfort
equipment in the passenger compartment. It is
discharged during use, and must therefore be
regularly recharged. There is no need to wait
for the traction battery to fall to its reserve level
before recharging.
The range of the battery may vary according
to the type of driving, the route, the use of

thermal comfort equipment and the ageing of its
components.

The lifespan of the traction battery
depends on multiple factors, such as

climatic conditions, distance travelled and
how often it has been fast-charged.

To preserve the mileage of your vehicle
and the durability of your traction battery,

Fiat recommends that you:
– Do not fully charge the battery of your
electric vehicle daily (charge the traction
