Ease of use and comfort

► Use a coin to unscrew the cap and replace

the battery.

Do not throw remote control batteries
away, as they contain metals that are

harmful to the environment. Take them to an
approved disposal point.

If the system is switched on using the
long-range remote control, the maximum

heating duration is around 45 min.

The ventilation is activated provided that

the battery is sufficiently charged.

The heating is activated provided that:
– the battery charge and the fuel level are

sufficient,

– the engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle,
– 60 minutes have elapsed between two
heating requests.

Programmable heating is supplied by the
vehicle fuel tank. Before use, make sure

that you have sufficient fuel. If the fuel tank is

on reserve, you are strongly recommended
not to programme the heating.

The additional heating must always be

switched off while refuelling to avoid any risk

of fire or explosion.

To avoid the risk of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating

must not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.

Do not park the vehicle on a flammable

surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.)

- Risk of fire!

Glazed surfaces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in

places.
Never put objects on these surfaces; never
touch these surfaces - Risk of burns!

Independent additional
heating

Depending on the country of sale, this is an
additional and independent system which heats
the hot water circuit of the Diesel engine to
improve comfort and to raise the temperature
of the cold engine. It improves demisting and
defrosting performance. With the engine idling
or the vehicle stationary, it is normal to notice a

high-pitched whistling and some emissions of
smoke or odour.
The temperature near the heating system must
not exceed 120°C. A higher temperature (e.g. in
a paint oven) could damage the components of
electronic circuits.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Make sure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.

To avoid the risks of poisoning or

suffocation, the additional heating must

not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.

Do not park the vehicle on a flammable

surface (for example: dry grass, fallen

leaves, paper, etc.) - risk of fire!

Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year, at the beginning of

winter.
For maintenance and repairs, you must

only contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualified

workshop.

If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.

They will go off automatically after a period

of time that depends on the level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).

Switching off of the lighting when the

ignition is switched off

When the ignition is switched off, all of the

lamps turn off immediately, except for the

dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear

after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.

Travelling abroad

If planning to use your vehicle in a

country that drives on the other side of the
road, the dipped beam headlamps must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.

General safety
recommendations

Do not remove the labels attached in

different places on your vehicle. They

include safety warnings as well as

identification information for the vehicle.

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.

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.

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

Fiat Dealerships or qualified workshops,

equipped with the special tools required (risk
of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic
systems that could cause breakdowns or
serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot
be held responsible if this advice is not
followed.

– Any modification or adaptation not

intended or authorised by Fiat or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements

defined by the Manufacturer will result in the

suspension of the commercial warranty.

Installation of accessory radio

communication transmitters

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).

Declarations of conformity for radio

equipment

The relevant certificates are available on the

brand website:

http://aftersales.fiat.com/elum/

Changes/Alterations to the

car

Warning

Any change or alteration of the car might

seriously affect its safety and road grip, thus

causing accidents, in which the occupants could
even be fatally injured.

Accessories purchased by the owner

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.

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.

Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal
stroke (mats, etc.).

Installing electrical/Electronic devices

Electrical and electronic devices installed after
buying the car in the context of after-sales
service must carry the following label:

Safety

FCA Italy S.p.A. authorises the installation of
transceivers provided that installation is carried
out at a specialised centre, in a workmanlike
fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's

specifications.

Traffic police may not allow the car on

the road if devices have been installed

which modify the features of the car. This may
also cause invalidation of warranty in relation
to faults caused by the change either directly
or indirectly related to it.

FCA Italy S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage
caused by the installation of accessories either
not supplied or recommended by FCA Italy
S.p.A. and/or not installed in compliance with the
provided instructions.

Radio transmitters and mobile phones

Radio transmitter equipment (car mobile phones,
CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be
used inside the car unless a separate aerial is
mounted on the roof.
Transmission and reception of these devices

may be affected by the shielding effect of the car

body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile
phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS,
LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by
the mobile phone Manufacturer.

The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an

external aerial) may cause the electrical
systems to malfunction. This could
compromise the safety of the car in addition
to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health.
If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/
tablets are inside the car and/or close to the
electronic key, a reduced performance of the
Passive Entry/Keyless Entry and Start system
may occur.

Hazard warning lamps

► Pressing this red button causes all the

direction indicators to flash.

They can work with the ignition switched off.

Automatic operation of

hazard warning lamps

control unit, an emergency call is made

automatically, irrespective of the deployment
of any airbags.

This system is a public service and is
free of charge.

Operation of the system

– Upon switching on the ignition, the indicator
lamp lights up red, then green, and then goes
out: the system is operating correctly.

– The indicator lamp flashes red: replace the

back-up battery.

* In accordance with the general conditions of use of the service, available from dealers and subject to technological and technical limitations.
** Depending on the geographic coverage of the "eCall (SOS)" and "ASSISTANCE" systems.
The list of countries covered and the telematic services provided is available from dealers or on the website for your country.

– The indicator lamp is fixed red: system

malfunction. The emergency and assistance call
services may not work.
– If the indicator lamp does not come on when
the ignition is switched on, this also means that
there is a system malfunction.

If the problem persists, contact a qualified

workshop as soon as possible.

A system fault does not prevent the

vehicle from being driven.

Data processing

All processing of personal information

by the "Localised Emergency Call" system
(PE112) complies with the framework for
protection of personal information established

by Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and

Directive 2002/58/EC of the European
Parliament and the Council, and in particular,
seeks to protect the vital interests of the
data subject, in accordance with Article 6.1,

paragraph d) of Regulation 2016/679.

Personal information processing is strictly
limited to the management of the "Localised
Emergency Call" system used with the “112”
European single emergency call number.
The "Localised Emergency Call" system is
able to collect and process only the following

data relating to the vehicle: chassis number,
type (passenger vehicle or light commercial
vehicle), fuel type or power source, most
recent three locations and direction of travel,

and a timestamped log file recording the

automatic activation of the system.
The recipients of the processed data are the
emergency call handling centres designated
by the relevant national authorities in the
territory in which they are located, enabling
priority reception and handling of calls to the
“112” emergency number.

Data storage

Data contained in the system’s memory

is not accessible from outside the system until

Horn

► Press the central part of the steering wheel.

Pedestrian horn (Electric)

This system alerts pedestrians that the vehicle is
approaching.
The pedestrian horn operates once the vehicle

is moving and at speeds of up to 19 mph

(30 km/h), in forward or reverse gear.
This function cannot be deactivated.

Malfunction

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

Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

Electronic stability control
(ESC)

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).

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 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.

The fixed illumination of this warning lamp

signals that there is a fault with the ABS.

The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at a moderate speed.
Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

This warning lamp, when lit together with
the

STOP

and ABS warning lamps,

accompanied by a message and an audible
signal, indicates an EBFD malfunction.

You must stop the vehicle.

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

the ignition.

Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualified

workshop.

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.

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.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a

reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an

increase in braking efficiency.

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.

These systems are activated in the event
of a problem with grip or trajectory

(confirmed by this warning lamp flashing on the

instrument panel).

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.
However, it is recommended that the systems be
reactivated as soon as possible.
