REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming to the Eu-ropean specification EN 228.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. Using other productsor mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the warranty cover for caused dam-ages as a consequence.

ENGINE STARTING

Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutchwithout pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights Y (or symbol on display) and mto go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine nee-dles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to en-sure better respect for the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a FiatDealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can sup-port the required load.

CODE card

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. The code card shall be used for requesting additional keys.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety fea-tures, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS…

… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Payparticular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) ! (the car’s wellbeing).

LS SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attachednear or actually on some of the compo-nents of your car. These labels bear sym-bols that remind you of the precautionsto be taken as regards that particular com-ponent.

The plate summarising the symbols usedcan be found under the bonnet fig. 6.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect you car from theft, ithas been fitted with an engine immobilis-ing system. This system is automatically ac-tivated when the ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fitted ineach ignition key grip. The device trans-mits a radio-frequency signal when the en-gine is started through a special aerial builtinto the ignition switch. The modulate sig-nal, which changes each time the engine isstarted, is the “password” by means ofwhich the control unit recognises the keyand enables to start the engine.

LSOPERATION

Each time the car is started turning the ig-nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys-tem control unit sends a recognition codeto the engine control unit to deactivatethe inhibitor.

The code is sent only if the Fiat CODEsystem control unit has recognised thecode transmitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned toSTOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivatesthe functions of the engine electronic con-trol unit.

If the code has not been recognised cor-rectly, the instrument panel warning lightY (or symbol on display) will turn on.

In this case, the key should be moved tothe STOP position and then back toMAR; if the lock continues, possibly tryagain with the other key provided with thecar. If it is still not possible to start the carcontact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Every key has its own code,which must be memorised by the systemcontrol unit. To memorise new keys, upto a maximum of eight, apply solely to Fi-at Dealership taking with you the CODEcard and the keys, a personal identity doc-ument and the car’s ownership docu-ments. The codes of the keys not provid-ed during the new memorising procedureare erased from the memory. This is toensure that any lost or stolen keys can nolonger be used to start the car.

The electronic components in-side the key may be damagedif the key is submitted to sharpknocks.

Warning light Y (or symbol ondisplay) coming on when driving

❒ If the warning light Y (or symbol ondisplay) turns on, this means that thesystem is running a self-test (for exam-ple for a voltage drop).

❒ If the warning light Y (or symbol ondisplay) continues to stay on, contacta Fiat Dealership.

When the engine is idling, the rev countermay indicate a gradual or sudden speed in-crease. This is normal as it takes place dur-ing normal operation, for example whenactivating the climate control system orthe fan. In particular a slow change in thespeed preserves the battery charge.

❒ to raise: raise the head restraint untilhearing the locking click.

❒ to lower: press button A-fig. 30 andlower the head restraint.

On some versions, the front head re-straints are equipped with an anti-whiplashdevice, which is able to reduce the dis-tance between the head and head restraintin the case of rear impact, limiting damagecaused by whiplash.

If the front head restraint is anti-whiplashtype, the head restraint may move if pres-sure is exercised on the back-rest throughthe torso or hand. This behaviour is typ-ical of the system and should not treatedas a malfunction.

REAR

Car is can be equipped with two head restraints for side seats and, according toversions, also with a third head restraintfor the central seat.

To lift out head restraint: take it com-pletely out from the seat back (position ofuse) until hearing a click.

To bring it back to the original position(non-use position): press button A-fig. 31 and lower the head restraintdown into its seat.

IMPORTANT Rear seat passengers shallalways set the head restraints in the po-sition of use.

fig. 30 F0Q0655m

Remember that the head re-straints should be adjusted

to support the back of your head andnot your neck. Only in this positiondo they exert their protective action.

WARNING

To optimise head restraintprotective action, adjust the

seat back upright and keep your headas close as possible to the head re-straint.

LSWINDOW WASHING

WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER fig. 49

The device can only work when the igni-tion key is at MAR.

The stalk can be moved to five differentpositions:

A: windscreen wiper off.

B: flick wipe.

With the stalk in position B, turning theknurled ring F four possible intermittentspeeds are obtained:

, = very slow intermittent

� = slow intermittent.

�� = intermittent medium.

�� = fast intermittent.

C: continuous slow;

D: continuous fast;

E: fast temporary (unstable position).

Operation in position E is limited to thetime the lever is held in this position.When the lever is released, it returns toposition A automatically stopping thewiper.

IMPORTANT When the wiper is on, en-gaging reverse gear automatically turns onthe rear window wiper.

fig. 49F0Q0645m

Never use the window wiperto remove ice or snow fromthe windscreen. In these con-ditions, the wiper is submitted

to excessive effort that results in mo-tor protection cutting in and wiper op-eration inhibition for few seconds as aconsequence. If operation is not re-stored contact Fiat Dealership.

“Smart washing” function fig. 50

Pulling the lever towards the steeringwheel (unstable position) operates thewindscreen washer.

Keeping the stalk pulled, with just onemovement it is possible to operate thewasher jet and the wiper at the same time;indeed, the latter comes into action au-tomatically if the stalk is pulled for morethan half a second.

The wiper stops working a few strokes af-ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaningstroke”, after a few seconds, completesthe wiping operation.

RAIN SENSOR (where provided)

The rain sensor A-fig. 51 is behind thedriving mirror in contact with the wind-screen and has the purpose of automati-cally adjust, during the intermittent oper-ation, the frequency of the windscreenwiper strokes as to the rain intensity.

The sensor has a range of adjustment thatgradually varies between wiper stationary(no wiping) when the windscreen is dry,to wiper at first continuous speed (con-tinuous slow) with heavy rain.

fig. 50 F0Q0646m fig. 51 F0Q0014m

Activation

Move the right-hand stalk downwards byone position.

The activation of the rain sensor is sig-nalled by a control acquisition “stroke”.

IMPORTANT Keep clean the glass in thesensor area.

Turning the knurled ring F-fig. 49 it ispossible to increase the sensitivity of therain sensor, obtaining a quicker changefrom stationary (no wiping) when thewindscreen is dry, to first continuousspeed (continuous slow).

The increase of the sensitivity of the rainsensor is signalled by a control and acqui-sition “stroke”.

Operating the windscreen washer withthe rain sensor activated the normal wash-ing cycle is performed at the end of whichthe rain sensor resumes its normal auto-matic function.

Do not activate the rain sen-sor when washing the car inan automatic washing station.

In the event of ice on thewindscreen, make sure to havedisconnected the device.

Make sure to have discon-nected the device when

cleaning the windscreen.

WARNING

Deactivation

Turn the ignition key to STOP.

At next engine starting (key at MAR), thesensor will not be reactivated even is thestalk is on B-fig. 49. In this event, to ac-tivate the rain sensor, you have to movethe stalk to A or C and then again to B.

When the rain sensor is again activated inthis way, at least one windscreen wiperstroke occurs, even if the windscreen isdry.

REAR SCREEN WIPER/REAR SCREEN WASHER fig. 52

This operates only with the ignition turnedto MAR. Operation ceases when thelever is released.

When the wheel on the lever is turnedfrom position O to position ', the rearwiper operates as follows:

❒ in intermittent mode when the rearwiper is not in operation;

❒ in synchronous mode (at half the rateof the windscreen wiper) when thewindscreen wiper is working;

❒ in continuous mode, with reverse en-gaged and the control active.

HEADLIGHT WASHER fig. 53

Car headlight washers are “retractable”,i.e.: they are located inside the frontbumpers and they are activated (withdipped beam headlights and/or main beamheadlights on) when the windscreen wash-er is operated.

IMPORTANT Check at regular intervalscorrect operation and cleanness of noz-zles.

Never use the rear windowwiper to remove ice or snowfrom the rear window. In theseconditions, the wiper is sub-

mitted to excessive effort that resultsin motor protection cutting in andwiper operation inhibition for few sec-onds as a consequence. If operation isnot restored contact Fiat Dealership.

fig. 52 F0Q0653m

With the windscreen wiper in operationand reverse engaged, continuous opera-tion of the rear screen wiper is also acti-vated. When the lever is pushed towardthe dashboard (unstable position), the rearwasher jet is also activated. When thelever is held in this position for longer thanhalf a second, the rear wiper is also op-erated. When the lever is released, smartwashing is activated, as for the windscreenwiper.

LSPOWER WINDOWS

A safety system is provided that is able todetect the present of an obstacle when thewindow is closing. When this event oc-curs, the system interrupts and immedi-ately reverses the window travel.

IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-crushing function is activated 5 times inonly 1 minute, the system will automati-cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-tection). This conditions is pointed out bythe fact that, in the closing phase, the win-dow goes up in jerks.

So, it is necessary to carry out the sys-tem restore procedure, acting as follows:

❒ open the windows;

or

❒ turn the ignition key to STOP and thento MAR.

If no malfunction is present, the windowreturns to its normal operation automat-ically.

The system conforms to theforthcoming standard 2000/

4/EC concerning the safety of pas-sengers leaning out of the passengercompartment.

WARNING

IMPORTANT On some versions, whenbutton Ë on the key with remote controlis pressed for longer than 2 seconds, thewindows open, while when button Á ispressed for longer than 2 seconds, thewindows are closed.

IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOPor removed, the power windows remainactivated for about 2 minutes and are de-activated immediately the moment a dooris opened.

When the ABS cuts in, andyou feel the brake pedal pul-

sating, do not remove your foot, butkeep it pressed; in doing so you willstop in the shortest amount of spacepossible under the current road con-ditions.

WARNING

The ABS exploits the tyre-road grip at the best, but it

cannot improve it; you should there-fore take every care when driving onslippery surfaces without taking un-necessary risks.

WARNINGABS SYSTEM

The car is fitted with ABS braking system,which prevents the wheels from lockingwhen braking, makes the most of road gripand gives the best control when emer-gency braking under difficult road condi-tions.

System is completed by EBD (ElectronicBraking Force Distribution), which dis-tributes the braking action between frontand rear wheels.

IMPORTANT To have the maximum ef-ficiency of the braking system, it is neces-sary a setting period of about 500 km: dur-ing this period, it is better to avoid sharp,repeated and prolonged brakes.

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

The driver can tell the ABS system hascome into action because the brake ped-al pulsates slightly and the system getsnoisier: it means that the car speed shouldbe altered to fit the type of road surface.

If the ABS system cuts in, it is a sign thatthe grip between tyre and the road sur-face has reached the limit: you must slowdown to match the speed to the road gripavailable.

If the ABS system cuts in itis a sign that the grip be-

tween the tyre and the road surfacehas reached the limit you must slowdown to match the speed to the roadgrip available.

ABS failure

ABS failure is indicated by the turning onof warning light >on the instrument pan-el (together with the dedicated messageon the display) (see section “Warninglights and messages”). In this case thebraking system is still efficient, thoughwithout the aid of the ABS system. Drivecarefully to the closest Fiat Dealership tohave the system checked.

EBD failure

EBD failure is indicated by the turning onof warning lights > and x on the in-strument panel (together with the mes-sage on the display) (see section “Warn-ing lights and messages”).

In this case with sharp braking the rearwheels might lock too early, with the pos-sibility of skidding. Drive extremely care-fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to havethe system checked.

If the instrument panelwarning light x turns on

(together with the message on the dis-play), stop the car immediately andcontact the nearest Fiat Dealership.Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system,in fact, can compromise the brakingsystem, both traditional systems andsystems with ABS.

WARNING

BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistance)(where provided)

The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-ognizes emergency braking (on the groundof the brake pedal operation speed) andconsiderably increases the pressure in thebraking circuit.

Brake Assist is deactivated on versionsequipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-tem failure (indicated by warning light áturning on together with the message onthe display).

LS ESP SYSTEM (Electronic StabilityProgram) (where provided)

The ESP system is an electronic systemcontrolling the car stability in the event oftyre grip loss.

The ESP system is therefore particularlyuseful when grip conditions of the roadsurfaces changes.

With ESP, ASR and Hill Holder systemsis also installed (where provided) the MSRsystem (engine brake torque control sys-tem).

ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION

It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-ing light á on the instrument panel, to in-form the driver that the car is in criticalstability and grip conditions.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM

This system is an integral part of the ESPsystem and it is provided to facilitate start-ing on slopes.

It will activate automatically with the fol-lowing conditions:

❒ Uphill: car at a standstill on a road witha gradient higher than 5%, engine run-ning, clutch and brake pedal pressed,gearbox to neutral or engaged gear oth-er than reverse.

❒ Downhill: car at a standstill on a roadwith a gradient higher than 5%, enginerunning, clutch and brake pedal pressedand reverse gear engaged.

At pickup the ESP system control unit willkeep brake force on wheels until reachingthe torque suitable for starting, or in anycase for max. 2 seconds in order to passeasily from the brake pedal to the accel-erator pedal.

After two seconds without starting, thesystem will deactivate automatically by re-leasing gradually the brake force.

At releasing, the typical brake disengage-ment noise indicating that the car is go-ing to move will be heard.

Performance of the ESP sys-tem, in terms of active safe-

ty should not induce the driver to takepointless and unnecessary risks. Thestyle of driving must in any case al-ways be adapted to the conditions ofthe road surface, visibility an traffic.Road safety is always the driver’s re-sponsibility.

WARNING

ESP SYSTEM ACTIVATION

The ESP system is automatically activat-ed when the car is started and cannot bede-activated.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of failure, the ESP system isautomatically disconnected and the warn-ing light á comes on with fixed light onthe instrument panel (on certain versionstogether with the message on the display)(see section “Warning lights and mes-sages”). In this case contact a Fiat Deal-ership as soon as possible.

During the use of the space-saver spare wheel, the ESP

system carries on working. However,you must remind that the space-saverspare wheel has dimensions smallerthan the standard tyre and thereforeits grip is reduced as to the other cartyres.

WARNING

FAILURE INDICATIONS

System failure is indicated by the turningon of warning light á on the instrumentpanel (together with the message on thedisplay) (see section “Warning lights andmessages”).

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system isnot a parking brake. Never get out of thecar without engaging the handbrake,switching the engine off and engaging thefirst gear.

For correct operation of theESP and ASR systems, the

tyres must absolutely be of the samebrand and type on all wheels, in per-fect conditions and, above all, oftype, brand and size specified.

WARNING

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)

It is an integral part of the ESP system, itcontrols car drive and cuts in automati-cally every time one or both drivingwheels slip.

According to slipping conditions, two dif-ferent control systems are activated:

❒ if the slipping involves both the drivingwheels, the ASR function intervenes re-ducing the power transmitted by theengine;

❒ if the slipping involves only one drivingwheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-matically braking the wheel that is slip-ping.

The action of the ASR is particularly help-ful in the following circumstances:

❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to theeffect of dynamic load changes or ex-cessive acceleration;

❒ too much power transmitted to thewheels also in relation to the conditionsof the road surface;

❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy orfrozen surfaces;

❒ in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-face (aquaplaning).

Switching the ASR system on/off

The ASR system switches on automaticallyeach time the engine is started.

Switching on/off is indicated by the rele-vant message on the display (see section“Warning lights and messages”).

The performance of the sys-tem, in terms of active safe-

ty should not induce the driver to takepointless and unnecessary risks. Thestyle of driving must in any case al-ways be adapted to the conditions ofthe road surface, visibility and traffic.Road safety is always the driver’s re-sponsibility.

When using the spare wheel,the ASR system is excluded

and the warning light á on the in-strument panel turns on glowingsteadily (together with the messageon the display) (see section “Warn-ing lights and messages”).

WARNING

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of malfunctioning, the ASRsystem is automatically disconnected andthe warning light áwill turn on with fixedlight on the instrument panel (togetherwith the message on the display) (see sec-tion “Warning lights and messages”). Inthis case contact Fiat Dealership as soonas possible.

For correct operation of theESP and ASR systems, the

tyres must absolutely be of the samebrand and type on all wheels, in per-fect conditions and, above all, oftype, brand and size specified.

WARNING

When travelling ASR can be switched offand on again by pressing switch ASR OFFset on the dashboard next to the steer-ing wheel fig. 101.

When the ASR is switched off this isshown by the lighting up of the led on theswitch (and by the relevant message onthe display) (see section “Warning lightsand messages”).

If the ASR is switched off when travelling,it will turn on again automatically the nexttime the engine is started.

When travelling on snowy roads withsnow chains, it may be helpful to turn theASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-ping of the driving wheels when moving offmakes it possible to obtain better drive.

MSR system (engine brakingtorque control)

The car is fitted with a special system, in-tegral with the ASR system, that in case ofsudden gear shifting, cuts in providingtorque to the engine thus preventing ex-cessive driving wheel drive that, speciallyin poor grip conditions, can lead to loss ofstability.

LSIMPORTANT during acceleration, whenthe SPORT function is in use, it is possibleto feel steering judder, which is typical ofthis sporty setting.

IMPORTANT The steering may becomeslightly stiff following parking manoeuvresincluding a great deal of steering. This isnormal and caused by a system to preventmotor overheating. No servicing is re-quired. The electric power steering sys-tem will return to normal operation thenext time the car is used.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently increasing the revswill greatly affect consumption and emis-sions: to contain fuel consumption accel-eration should be gradual.

Using the SPORT function, fuel consump-tion will be slightly higher than the valuesstated in paragraph “Fuel consumption” inthis Supplement.



WARNING

Always switch the engine off,remove the key from the

starting device and actuate the steer-ing lock before carrying out any main-tenance operation, especially whenthe wheels are raised from theground. In case this is not possible(e.g. when the key must be in MARposition or the engine running), re-move the electric power steeringmain fuse before carrying out anymaintenance operation.

LS TYRE PRESSUREMONITORING SYSTEMT.P.M.S. (where provided)

The car can be equipped with the T.P.M.S.(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). Thissystem consists of a radio-frequency sen-sor, installed on each wheel (on the riminside the tyre) that sends pressure infor-mation to the control unit.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE T.P.M.S. SYSTEM

Failure indications will not be stored andtherefore will not be displayed when turn-ing the engine off and on again. If failurepersists, the control unit will send warn-ing indications to the instrument panel on-ly after a few seconds when the car ismoving.

Pay the utmost attentionwhen checking or inflating

tyres. Excessive pressure impairs roadholding, increases suspension andwheel stress and causes abnormaltyre wear.

Tyre pressure should bechecked with tyres rested

and cold. Should it become necessaryfor whatever reason to check pressurewith hot tyres, do not reduce pressurealthough it is higher than the pre-scribed value but repeat the checkwhen tyres are cold.

The T.P.M.S. system does notexempt the driver to check

tyre and spare wheel pressure at reg-ular intervals (see paragraph “Wheels”in section “Car maintenance”).

T.P.M.S. system cannot in-dicate sudden tyre pressure

drops (e.g.: tyre burst). In this event,brake the car cautiously and avoidsudden steering.

PARKING SENSORS (where provided)

Parking sensors inform the driver aboutthe presence of obstacles behind the car(versions fitted with 4 rear sensors) or be-hind and in front of the car (versions fit-ted with 4 rear sensors and 4 front sen-sors).

This system is therefore an aid for the dri-ver when parking the car since it detectsobstacles out of the driver’s sight range.

The driver is warned of the presence anddistance from the obstacle by an inter-mittent buzzer (the sound of the buzzerbecomes more frequent as the reductionof distance between the car and the ob-stacle decreases).

SENSORS

To detect obstacles the system used 4sensors located on the front bumper(where provided) fig. 105 and 4 sensorslocated on the rear bumper fig. 106.

LS BUZZER WARNINGS

The driver is warned of the presence anddistance from the obstacle by the buzzersinstalled in the passenger compartment:❒ in versions with 4 rear sensors, a

buzzer located in the front dashboardarea warns of the presence of rear ob-stacles;

❒ In versions with 8 rear sensors (4 frontand 4 rear) a front buzzer warns of thepresence of front obstacles and abuzzer at the rear warns of the pres-ence of rear obstacles. This featuregives the driver a sense of directional-ity (front/rear) about the presence ofobstacles.

When the reverse gear is engaged an in-termittent acoustic signal is automaticallyactivated.

The acoustic signal:❒ becomes louder as the reduction of

distance between the car and the ob-stacle decreases;

❒ becomes continuous when the distancebetween the car and the obstacle is lessthat 30 cm and stops immediately if thedistance raises;

❒ is constant if the distance is unvaried. Ifthis situation takes place for side sen-sors, the signal is stopped after about3 seconds to prevent sound indicationswhen performing manoeuvres nearwalls.

For proper operation, theparking sensors set on thebumpers shall be clean frommud, dirt, snow or ice. When

cleaning the sensors, take the utmostcare to prevent their damaging; do notuse therefore dry or rough clothes. Sen-sors shall be washed with clean waterand car detergent, if required. In wash-ing stations, clean sensors quickly keep-ing the vapour jet/high pressure wash-ing nozzles at 10 cm at least from thesensors.

Any repainting of bumpers ortouch/up in sensor areas shallbe carried out at Fiat Dealer-ship only. Improper painting

could impair the regular operation ofparking sensors.

Parking manoeuvres howev-er are always under the dri-

ver’s responsibility that shall alwayscheck the absence of people (special-ly children) or animals in the ma-noeuvre space. This system is just ahelp for the driver but she/he shall nev-er reduce attention during dangerousmanoeuvres even if performed at lowspeed.

WARNING

When the obstacle is located at a distanceof less than 30 cm, the device emits a con-tinuous sound. Depending on the positionof the obstacle (in front or behind) thesound is emitted by the correspondingacoustic indicators (front or rear). The ob-stacle closest to the vehicle is indicatedin all cases.

The beep will stop immediately if the dis-tance raises. Beep tone is constant if thedistance detected by central sensors is un-varied. If this situation takes place for sidesensors, the signal is stopped after about3 seconds to prevent sound indicationswhen performing manoeuvres near walls.

LSFAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of sensor failures, when en-gaging the reverse gear the driver iswarned by the turning on of warning lightè on the instrument panel or by symbolt, together with the message on the dis-play (see section “Warning lights and mes-sages”).

GENERAL WARNINGS

When parking, take the utmost care toobstacles set above or under the sensors.

Objects set close to the car front or rearpart, under certain circumstances are notdetected and could therefore cause dam-ages to the car.

Parking sensors regular operation couldbe affected by the following conditions:

❒ Indications sent by the sensors can bealtered by dirt, snow or ice depositedon the sensors or by multiple painting.

❒ Sensors detect non-existing objects,“echo disturbances” due to: car washing,rain (with very strong wind), hail, etc.

❒ Indications sent by the sensors can al-so be altered by ultrasound systems(e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-matic hammers) set nearby the car.

❒ Parking sensors performance can alsobe affected by sensor position; for ex-ample changes to the car set-up due toshock-absorber wear, suspensions,changing tyres, loading the car toomuch, implementing special tuning tolower the car.

❒ Presence of obstacles at the upper sideof the car not be detected since the sys-tem detects obstacles that could knockinto the lower side of the car.

SENSOR DETECTION RANGE

Sensors enable the system to monitor thefront part (versions with 8 sensors) andthe rear part of the car.

Actually their position covers the centraland side areas of the front and rear partof the car.

An obstacle positioned at central area isdetected at a distance less than 0.9 m(front) and 1.40 m (rear).

An obstacle positioned at side area is de-tected at a distance less than 0.6 m.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER

Parking sensor operation is deactivatedautomatically when the trailer electric ca-ble plug is fitted into the car tow hooksocket.

Sensors are reactivated when removingthe trailer cable plug.

IMPORTANT If you wish to leave thetow-hook fitted without a trailer attached,contact your Fiat Dealership to update thesystem because the tow-hook will be de-tected as an obstacle by the central sen-sors.

LSThe car must only be filledwith diesel fuel for motor ve-hicles, in compliance with Eu-ropean Specification EN590.

The use of other products or mixturesmay irreparably damage the enginewith invalidation of the warranty dueto the damage caused. In the event ofaccidentally filling with another typeof fuel, do not start the engine andempty the tank. If the engine has beenrun even for only a very short time, inaddition to the tank, it is also necessaryto drain out the whole fuel circuit.

DIESEL ENGINES

If the outside temperature is very low, thediesel thickens due to the formation ofparaffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-ter.

In order to avoid these problems, differ-ent types of diesel are distributed ac-cording to the season: summer type, win-ter type arctic type (mountains/cold ar-eas).

If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable forthe current temperature, mix diesel fuelwith TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in theproportions stated on the can, putting firstthe antifreeze in the tank and then thediesel fuel.

Refuel with local diesel fuel if the car isused/parked in the mountains or in coldareas for a long period. In this event youare recommended to keep an amount offuel higher than 50% in the tank.

AT THE FILLINGSTATION

PETROL ENGINES

Use only unleaded petrol.

To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-el tank filler is too small to introduce a leadpetrol pump filler.

Use petrol with a rated octane number(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leadsto harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-tributing to air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,even in small amount or in an emergency,as this would damage the catalyst beyondrepair.

REFUELLING

To ensure full tank refuelling, carry outtwo top-up operations once the deliverygun has turned off twice. Avoid furthertop-up operations which could cause faultsin the fuel system.

LS DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER(DPF) (where provided)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-ical filter, integral with the exhaust system,that physically traps particulate presentin the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.

The diesel particular filter has been adopt-ed to eliminate almost totally particulatesin compliance with current / future lawregulations.

During normal use of the car, the enginecontrol unit records a set of data (e.g.:travel time, type of route, temperatures,etc.) and it will then calculate how muchparticulates has been trapped by the filter.

During normal service thecatalyst and the diesel par-

ticulate filter (DPF) reach high tem-peratures. Do not therefore park thecar over inflammable materials (grass,dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): firehazard.

WARNING

Diesel Particulate Filter clogged

If the warning light h on the instru-ment panel turns on (together with themessage on the display) refer to section“Warning lights and messages”.

Since this filter physically traps particulates,it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regularintervals by burning carbon particles. Re-claiming procedure is controlled auto-matically by the engine control unit ac-cording to the filter conditions and theconditions of use of the car.

During reclaiming the following phenom-ena could take place: idling slight increase,fan activation, slight smoke increase, highexhaust temperatures. These situationsshall not be considered as faults and theydo not affect car performance and envi-ronment.

To increase passenger’s safety, the frontand rear (where provided) seat belt reelscontain a load limiter which allows con-trolled sag in such a way as to dose theforce acting on the shoulders during thebelt restraining action in case of frontcrash.

The pretensioner can onlybe used once. After a colli-

sion that has triggered it, have it re-placed at a Fiat Dealership. Preten-sioner validity is written on the labellocated inside the lower oddmentcompartment. Pretensioners shouldbe replaced at Fiat Dealership as thisdate approaches.

WARNING

Operations which lead toknocks, vibrations or localisedheating (over 100°C for amaximum of 6 hours) in the

area around the pretensioners maycause damage or trigger them. Thesedevices are not affected by vibrationscaused by irregularities of the road sur-face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.Contact a Fiat Dealership for any as-sistance.

The pretensioner does not require anymaintenance or greasing. Anything thatmodifies its original conditions invalidatesits efficiency. If due to unusual naturalevents (floods, seas storm, etc.) the devicehas been affected by water and mud, itmust necessarily be replaced.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FORUSING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver must comply with (and havethe car occupants follow) all the local le-gal regulations concerning the use of seatbelts. Always fasten the seat belts beforestarting.

Seat belts are also to be worn by expec-tant mothers: the risk of injury in the caseof accident is greatly reduced for them andthe unborn child if they are wearing a seatbelt. Of course they must position thelower part of the belt very low down sothat it passes under the abdomen (as il-lustrated in fig. 5).

IMPORTANT The belt should not be twist-ed. The upper part should pass over theshoulder and cross the chest diagonally. Thelower part should adhere to the pelvis (asshown in fig. 6) and not the abdomen of thepassenger. Do not use any objects (pegs,stoppers, etc.) to keep the belts away fromthe body.

Under no circumstancesshould the components of the

seat belts and pretensioners be tam-pered with or removed. Any operationshould be carried out by qualified andauthorised personnel. Always contacta Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

If the belt has been subject-ed to heavy stress, for ex-

ample after an accident, it should bechanged completely together withthe anchors, anchor fastening screwsand the pretensioners. In fact, even ifthe belt has no visible defects, it couldhave lost its resilience.

WARNING

HOW TO KEEP THE SEATBELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENTCONDITIONS

Observe the following:

❒ always use the belt with the tap taut andnever twisted; make sure that it is freeto run without impediments;

❒ after a serious accident, replace the beltbeing worn at that time, even if it doesnot appear damaged. Always replacethe seat belts if pretensioners havebeen activated;

❒ to clean the belts, wash by hand withneutral soap, rinse and leave to dry inthe shade. Never use strong deter-gents, bleach or dyes or other chemi-cal substance that might weaken the fi-bres;

❒ prevent the reels from getting wet:their correct operation is only guaran-teed if water does not get inside;

❒ replace the seat belt when showing sig-nificant wear or cut signs.

SERIOUS DANGER Should itbe absolutely necessary to

carry a child on the front pas-senger’s seat with the cradleseat facing backwards, passen-ger’s air bags (front and side

bags, where provided), shall be deacti-vated through the setup menu. Deacti-vation shall be checked through the in-strument panel warning light “. Thefront passenger’s seat shall also be ad-justed in the most backward position toprevent any contact between child’sseat and dashboard.

WARNING

CARRYING CHILDRENSAFELY

For optimal protection in the event of acrash, all passengers must be seated andwearing adequate restraint systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all ECcountries according to EC Directive2003/20/EC.

Compared with adults, their head is pro-portionally larger and heavier than the restof the body, while the muscles and bonestructure are not completely developed.Therefore, correct restraint systems arenecessary, other than adult seat belts.

The results of research on the best childrestraint systems are contained in the Eu-ropean Standard EEC-R44. This Standardenforces the use of restraint systems clas-sified in five groups:

Group 0 0-10 kg in weight

Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight




As it may be noted, the groups overlappartly and in fact, in commerce it is pos-sible to find devices that cover more thanone weight group.

All restraint devices must bear the certi-fication data, together with the controlbrand, on a solidly fixed label which mustabsolutely never be removed.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the point ofview of restraint systems, children areconsidered as adults and wear the seatbelts normally.

Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for eachweight group, which are the recommend-ed choice, as they have been designed andexperimented specifically for Fiat cars.

With front passenger’s airbag active do not place cra-

dle child’s seats facing backwards onthe front passenger seat since the airbag activation could cause serious in-juries, even mortal regardless of theseriousness of the crash. You are ad-vised to carry children always on therear seat, as this is the most protect-ed position in the case of a crash.

GROUP 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facingbackwards on a cradle seat, which, sup-porting the head, does not induce stresson the neck in the event of sharp decel-eration.

The cradle is restrained by the car seatbelts, as shown in fig. 8 and in turn it mustrestrain the child with its own belts.

fig. 8 F0Q0429m fig. 9 F0Q0430m

The figure is only an exam-ple for mounting. Attain to

the instructions for fastening whichmust be enclosed with the specificchild restraining system you are using.

WARNING

Seats exist which are suit-able for covering weight

groups 0 and 1 with a rear connectionto the car belts and their own belts torestrain the child. Due to their size,they can be dangerous if installed in-correctly fastened to the car beltswith a cushion. Carefully follow theinstructions for installation providedwith the seat.

WARNING

GROUP 1

Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, chil-dren may be carried facing forwards, withseat fitted with front cushion, throughwhich the car seat belt restrains both childand seat fig. 9.

Below is a summary of the rules ofsafety to be followed for carryingchildren:

1) The recommended position for in-stalling child’s seat is on the rear seat, asit is the most protected in the case of acrash.

2) If the passenger airbag is deactivated,always check that it is properly deactivat-ed by ensuring the warning light “ is onwith a fixed light on the instrument pan-el.

3) Attain to the instructions for fasteningthe specific child restraint system whichyou are using. These instructions must beprovided by the manufacturer. Keep thechild restraint system installation instruc-tions with the car documents and thisHandbook. Never use a child restraint sys-tem without installation instructions.

4) Always check the seat belt is well fas-tened by pulling the webbing.

5) Only one child is to be strapped toeach retaining system.

6) Always check the seat belts do not fitaround the child’s throat.

7) While travelling, do not let the childsit incorrectly or release the belts.

8) Passengers should never carry childrenon their laps. No-one, however strongthey are, can hold a child in the event ofa crash.

9) In case of an accident, replace thechild’s seat with a new one.

With passenger’s air bag ac-tive, never place child’s seats

with the cradle facing backwardssince the air bag activation couldcause to the child serious injuries,even mortal, regardless of the seri-ousness of the crash that triggered it.You are advised to carry children al-ways with proper restraint systems onthe rear seats, as this is the most pro-tected position in the case of a crash.

FRONT AIR BAGS

The car is fitted with front air bags for thedriver, for the passenger and with driver’sknees air bag (where provided).

The front air bags (driver and passenger)and driver’s knees air bag (where provid-ed) have been designed to protect the oc-cupants in the event of head-on crashes ofmedium-high severity, by placing the cush-ion between the occupant and the steer-ing wheel or dashboard.

Front air bags are designed to protectcar’s occupants in front crashes and there-fore non-activation in other types of col-lisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.

In case of front crash, an electronic con-trol unit, when required, triggers the in-flation of the cushion according to theseverity of the collision. The cushion im-mediately inflates, placing itself as a pro-tection between the body of the front oc-cupants and the structure that could causeinjuries. Immediately after, the cushion de-flates.

The front driver / passenger air bags andthe driver’s knees air bag (where provid-ed) are not a replacement of but comple-mentary to the use of belts, which shouldalways be worn, as specified by law in Eu-rope and most non European countries.

In case of crash, a person not wearing theseat belt moves forward and may come in-to contact with the cushion while it is stillinflating. Under this circumstance the pro-tection offered by the air bag is reduced.

Do not apply stickers or oth-er objects to the steering

wheel or to the air bag cover on thepassenger’s side or on the side rooflining. Do not put objects on thedashboard on passenger side sincethey could interfere with proper pas-senger air bag inflation and cause in-juries to the car’s passengers.

WARNING

Front air bag may not be activated in thefollowing situations:

❒ front collisions against highly de-formable objects not affecting the carfront surface (e.g. bumper collisionagainst guard rail, etc.);

❒ in case of wedging under other vehiclesor protective barriers (for example un-der a truck or guard rail);

as it offers no additional protection com-pared with the seat belts, consequently,it would be pointless. Therefore, failure tocome into action in the above circum-stances does not mean that the system isnot working properly.

At their maximum inflation, their volumefills most of the space between the dash-board and the passenger.

fig. 15 F0Q0624m fig. 16 F0Q0700m

SERIOUS DANGER: Withpassenger’s air bag active,

never place child’s seats withthe cradle facing backwardssince the air bag activation

could cause to the child serious in-juries, even mortal. In the case ofneed, always deactivate the passen-ger’s air bag when a child’s seat isplaced on the front seat. The frontpassenger’s seat shall be adjusted inthe most backward position to pre-vent any contact between child’s seatand dashboard. Even if not compul-sory by law, you are recommended toreactivate the air bag immediately assoon as child transport is no longernecessary.

WARNING

Always keep your hands onthe steering wheel rim when

driving, so that if the air bag is trig-gered, it can inflate without meetingany obstacles which could cause seri-ous harm to you. Do not drive withthe body bent forwards, keep the seatback rest in the erect position andlean your back well against it.

SIDE AIR BAGS (Side bag - Window bag)

The car is fitted with front side bags fordriver and passenger (where provided) forprotecting the chest and window bags(where provided) for protecting front andrear passengers’ head.

Side bags protect car occupants from sidecrashes of medium-high severity, by plac-ing the cushion between the occupant andthe internal parts of the side structure ofthe car.

Non-activation of side bags in other typesof collisions (front collisions, rear shunts,roll-overs, etc...) is not a system malfunc-tion.

In case of side crash, an electronic controlunit, when required triggers the inflationof the cushion. The cushion immediatelyinflates, placing itself as a protection, be-tween the occupant’s body and the struc-ture that could cause injuries. Immediate-ly after, the cushion deflates.

Side bags are not a replacement of butcomplementary to the belts, which youare recommended to always wear, asspecified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.

SIDE BAGS (where provided)

They consist of two types of instant infla-tion cushions and are housed in the backrests of the front seats fig. 18. The taskof the side air bags is to increase protec-tion of the occupants’ chest in the eventof a side crash of medium-high severity.

Never lean head, arms andelbows out of the window.

WARNING

WINDOW BAGS(where provided) fig. 19

They are “curtain” cushions located be-hind the side coverings of the roof andcovered by proper finishings, studied forthe head protection to offer the best pro-tection to the front and rear occupantsin the event of side crash, thanks to thewide cushion inflation surface.

In minor side crashes (for which the re-straining action of the seat belts is suffi-cient), the air bags are not deployed.

Do not cover the backrest offront seats with trims or cov-

ers that are not suitable to be usedwith side bags.

WARNING

Do not hook rigid objects tothe coat hooks and to the

support handles.

WARNINGAlso in this case it is of vital importance towear the seat belts since in case of sidecrash they guarantee proper positioningof the occupant and prevent the occupantsto be pitched out of the car in case of vi-olent crashes.

Therefore the front side bags (where pro-vided) are not a replacement of but com-plementary to the belts, which you arerecommended to always wear, as speci-fied by law in Europe and most non-Eu-ropean countries.

IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,you can obtain the best protection by thesystem keeping a correct position on theseat, allowing thus a correct window bagunfolding.

IMPORTANT Do not wash seats withpressurised water or steam (by hand or atautomatic seat washing stations).

GENERAL WARNINGS

1) The front air bags and/or front andfront side bags (where provided) may bedeployed if the car is subject to heavyknocks or accidents involving the under-body area, such as for example violentshocks, against steps, kerbs or low obsta-cles, falling of the car in big holes or sagsin the road.

2) When the airbag inflates it emits a smallamount of dusts. These dusts are harm-less and is not the beginning of a fire; thenthe unfold cushion surface and the car in-teriors can be covered by a dusty remains:this dust can irritate skin and eyes. In caseof contact, wash yourself using neutralsoap and water.

3) Should an accident occur in which anyof the safety devices is activated, take thecar to a Fiat Dealership to have the de-vices activated replaced and to have thesystem checked.

Every control, repair and replacement op-erations concerning the air bags must on-ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.

If you are having the car scrapped, havethe air bag system deactivated at a FiatDealership first. If the car changes own-ership, the new owner must be informedof the method of use of air bags and theabove warnings and also be given this“Owner Handbook”.

4) The triggering of pretensioners, frontair bags and front side bags is decided ina differentiated manner, depending on thetype of crash. The failure to deploy one ormore of them does not mean that the sys-tem is not working properly.

light “ (with passenger’s front Airbag on) turns on and flashes for fewseconds to remind that the passen-ger’s air bag will be deployed in acrash, after which it should go off.

WARNINGRemember that with the keyengaged and at MAR, even

with the engine not running, the airbags may be triggered on a stationarycar if it is bumped by another movingcar. Therefore, never seat children onthe front seat even when the car isstationary. On the other hand, re-member that with the key at STOPno safety system (air bags or preten-sioners) is triggered in the event of animpact; in this case, failure to comeinto action cannot be considered as asign that the system is not workingproperly.

ENGINE STARTING

The car is fitted with an electronic enginelock device: if the engine fails to start, seethe paragraph “The Fiat CODE system” insection “Dashboard and controls”.

The engine may be noisier than usual dur-ing the first seconds of operation, espe-cially after it has not been used for a while.This characteristic feature of the hydraulictappet system does not compromise func-tionality or reliability. This timing systemfor petrol engines was adopted to limitservicing.

Engine starting is guaranteed up to a min-imum temperature of –18°C (Italy andMiddle Europe) and –20°C (North Eu-rope).

STARTING PROCEDURE FORPETROL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒ pull up the handbrake;

❒ set the gear lever to neutral;

❒ press the clutch pedal down to thefloor without touching the accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV and letit go the moment the engine starts.

If the engine does not start at the first at-tempt, return the ignition key to STOPbefore repeating starting.

If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warn-ing light Y remains (or the symbol on dis-play) lit together with warning light U,turn the key to STOP and then back toMAR; if the warning light remains on, trywith the other keys provided with the car.

We recommend that duringthe initial period you do notdrive to full car performance(e.g.: excessive acceleration,

long journeys at top speed, sharp brak-ing, etc.).

Running the engine in con-fined areas is extremely dan-

gerous. The engine consumes oxygenand produces carbon monoxidewhich is a highly toxic and lethal gas.

WARNING

When the engine is switchedoff never leave the ignition keyat MAR to prevent pointlesscurrent absorption from drain-

ing the battery.

If you are still unable to start the engine,perform the emergency start-up proce-dure (see “Emergency start-up” in section“In an emergency”) and contact Fiat Deal-ership.

IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition keyat MAR when the engine is off.

STARTING PROCEDURE FORDIESEL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒ Ensure that the handbrake is up;

❒ set the gear lever to neutral;

❒ turn the ignition key to MAR. Thewarning lights m and Y (or the sym-bol on display) on the instrument pan-el will turn on;

❒ wait for the warning lights Y (or thesymbol on display) and m to turn off.The hotter the engine is, the quickerthis will happen;

❒ press the clutch pedal down to thefloor without touching the accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV as soonas warning light m turns off. If youwait too long you will lose the benefitof the work done by the glow plugs. Re-lease the key as soon as the enginestarts.

IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition keyat MAR when the engine is off.

The warning light m willflash for 60 seconds at start-up or during prolonged crank-ing to signal a fault in the glow

plug heating system. You can use thecar as usual if the engine starts but youshould contact a Fiat Dealership assoon as possible.

IMPORTANT With cold engine, the ac-celerator pedal shall be completely re-leased while turning the ignition key toAVV.

If the engine does not start at the first at-tempt, return the ignition key to STOPbefore repeating starting.

If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warn-ing light Y on the instrument panel (orthe symbol on display) stays on, turn thekey to STOP and then back to MAR; ifthe warning light remains on, try with theother keys provided with the car.

If you still cannot start the engine, contactFiat Dealership.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Turn the ignition to STOP while the en-gine is idling.

IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, youshould allow the engine to “catch itsbreath” before turning it off by letting itidle to allow the temperature in the en-gine compartment to fall.

Never bump start the engineby pushing, towing or coastingdownhill as this could causefuel to flow into the catalytic

exhaust system and damage it beyondrepair.

Remember that the servo-brake and power steering

are not operational until the enginehas been started, therefore much ef-fort than usual is required on thebrake pedal and steering wheel.

WARNING

A quick burst on the acceler-ator before turning off the en-gine serves absolutely no prac-tical purpose, it wastes fuel

and is damaging especially to tur-bocharged engines.

HOW TO WARM UP THEENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED (petrol and diesel engines)

Proceed as follows:

❒ Drive off slowly, letting the engine turnat medium revs. Do not accelerateabruptly;

❒ Do not drive at full performance for theinitial kilometres. Wait until the coolanttemperature gauge starts moving.

EMERGENCY START-UP

If the instrument panel warning light Y(or the symbol on display) stays on withfixed light, contact Fiat Dealership.

PARKING

Proceed as follows:

❒ Stop the engine and engage the hand-brake;

❒ Engage a gear (first if the car is faced up-hill or reverse if it is faced downhill) andleave the wheels steered.

Block the wheels with a wedge or a stoneif the car is parked on a steep slope. Donot leave the ignition key at MAR to pre-vent draining the battery. Always removethe key when you leave the car.

HANDBRAKE

The handbrake lever is located betweenthe two front seats.

Pull the handbrake lever upwards until thecar cannot be moved.

Four or five clicks are generally enoughwhen the car is on level ground while nineor ten may be required if the car is on asteep slope or laden.

IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-tact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrakeadjusted.

In cars fitted with front armrest, lift thelatter so that it does not hinder the hand-brake engaging procedure.

When the handbrake lever is pulled upand the ignition key is at MAR, the in-strument panel warning light x will turnon.

To release the handbrake:

❒ slightly lift the handbrake and press re-lease button A-fig. 1;

❒ keep button A pressed and lower thelever. Warning light x will turn off.

Press the brake pedal when carrying outthis operation to prevent the car frommoving accidentally.

USING THE GEARBOX

To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-al fully and shift the gear lever into the re-quired position (the diagram of gear po-sition is shown on the knob fig. 2 andfig. 3.

To engage 6th gear (version 1.416V and 1.9 Multijet 16V) press the lever to theright to prevent engaging 4th gear by mis-take. A similar action is required to shiftdown from 6th to 5th.

IMPORTANT The car can only be put in-to reverse gear when it has stopped mov-ing completely. With the engine running,before engaging the reverse, wait at least2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully downto prevent damage and grating of thegears.

To engage reverse R from neutral, lift thesliding ring A-fig. 2 or A-fig. 3 under theknob and shift the lever to the right andback.

fig. 2 F0Q0734m fig. 3 F0Q0602m

To change gears properlyyou must push the clutch

pedal fully down. It is therefore es-sential that there is nothing under thepedals: make sure the mats are lyingflat and do not get in the way of thepedals.

WARNING Do not drive with your handresting on the gear lever as theforce exerted, even if slight,could lead over time to pre-

mature wear on the gearbox internalcomponents.

CONTAININGRUNNING COSTS

Here are some suggestions which mayhelp you to keep the running costs of yourcar down and lower the amount of toxicemissions released into the atmosphere.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Car maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carried outin accordance with the “Service schedule”.

Tyres

Check the pressure of the tyres routine-ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:if the pressure is too low, consumptionlevels increase as resistance to rolling ishigher.

Carichi inutili

Do not travel with too much luggagestowed in the boot. The weight of the car(especially when driving in town) and itstrim greatly affects consumption and sta-bility.

Roof rack/ski rack

Remove the roof rack or the ski rack fromthe roof as soon as they are no longerused. These accessories lower air pene-tration and adversely affect consumptionlevels. When needing to carry particular-ly voluminous objects, preferably use atrailer.

Electric devices

Use electric devices only for the amountof time needed. Rear heated window, ad-ditional headlights, windscreen wipers andheater fan need a considerable amount ofenergy, therefore increasing the require-ment of current increases fuel consump-tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).

Climate control

The air conditioner is an additional loadwhich greatly affects the engine leading tohigher consumption (on average up to+20%). When the temperature outsidethe car permits it, use the air vents wherepossible.

Spoilers

The use of non-certified aerodynamicitems may adversely affect air drag andconsumption levels.

Top speed

Fuel consumption considerably increaseswith speed. Avoid superfluous braking andaccelerating, which cost in terms of bothfuel and emissions.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently increasing the revswill greatly affect consumption and emis-sions: acceleration should be gradual andshould not exceed the maximum torque.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Short journeys and frequent cold starts donot allow the engine to reach optimumoperating temperature. This results in asignificant increase in consumption levels(from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle)and emission of harmful substances.

Traffic situations and roadconditions

Rather high consumption levels are tied tosituations with heavy traffic, for examplein queues with frequent use of the lowergears or in cities with many traffic lights.Also winding mountain roads and roughroad surfaces adversely affect consump-tion.

Traffic hold-ups

During prolonged hold-ups (traffic lights,level crossings) the engine should beswitched off.

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine with the car ata standstill or at idle or high speed: underthese conditions the engine warms upmuch more slowly, increasing electricalconsumption and emissions. It is thereforeadvisable to move off immediately, slow-ly, avoiding high speeds. This way the en-gine will warm faster.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid accelerating when waiting at trafficlights or before switching off the engine.This and also double declutching is ab-solutely pointless on modern cars and al-so increase consumption and pollution.

Gear selection

As soon as the conditions of the traffic androad allow, use a higher gear. Using a lowgear to obtain brilliant performance in-creases consumption.

In the same way improper use of a highgear increases consumption, emissions anengine wear.

TOWING TRAILERS

IMPORTANT NOTES

For towing caravans or trailers the carmust be fitted with a certified tow hookand an adequate electric system. Installa-tion should be carried out by specialisedpersonnel who release a special documentfor circulation on the road.

Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors as specified by law.

Remember that when towing a trailer,steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-ing spaces increase and overtaking takeslonger depending on the overall weight.

Engage a low gear when driving downhill,rather than constantly using the brake.

The weight the trailer exerts on the car towhook reduces by the same amount the ac-tual car loading capacity. To make sure themaximum towable weight is not exceeded(given in the log book) account should betaken of the fully laden trailer, including ac-cessories and personal belongings.

Do not exceed the speed limits of thecountry you are driving in. In any case donot exceed 80 km/h.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK

The towing device should be fastened tothe body by specialised personnel accord-ing to any additional and/or integrative in-formation supplied by the Manufacturer ofthe device. The towing device must meetcurrent regulations with reference to94/20/EC Directive and subsequentamendments. For any version the towingdevice used must match the towableweight of the car on which it is to be in-stalled.

IMPORTANT Supplementary electricloads other than external lights (e.g. elec-tric brake, electric winch, etc.) shall beused with running engine.

For the electric connection a unified con-nector should be used which is generallyplaced on a special bracket normally fas-tened to the towing device, and a specialECU for external trailer light control shallbe installed on the car.

For the electrical connection, 7 or 13 pin12VDC connection is to be used (CU-NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Followthe instructions provided by the car man-ufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufac-turer.

The ABS system with whichthe car may be fitted does

not control the trailer braking system.Drive with extreme care on slipperyroadbeds.

WARNING

Under no circumstancesshould the car brake system

be altered to control the trailer brake.The trailer braking system must befully independent of the car’s hy-draulic system.

WARNING

Any electric brake (or electric winch, etc.)should be supplied directly by the batterythrough a cable with a cross section of noless than 2.5 mm2.

IMPORTANT Electric brake or other de-vice shall be used with running engine.

In addition to the electrical branches, thecar electric system can only be connect-ed to the supply cable for an electric brakeand to the cable for an internal light,though not above 15W. For connectionsuse the preset control unit with batterycable no less than 2.5 mm2.

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres of the same size as thenormal tyres provided with the car.

Fiat Dealership will be happy to provideadvice concerning the most suitable typeof tyre for the customer’s requirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, inflationpressures and the specifications of snowtyres, follow the instructions given in para-graph “Wheels” in section “Technicalspecifications”.

The winter features of these tyres are re-duced considerably when the tread depthis below 4 mm. In this case, they shouldbe replaced.

Due to the snow tyre features, under nor-mal conditions of use or on long motor-way journeys, the performance of thesetyres is lower than that of normal tyres. Itis therefore necessary to limit their use tothe purposes for which they are certified.

IMPORTANT When snow tyres are usedwith a max speed index below the onethat can be reached by the car (increasedby 5%), place a notice in the passenger’scompartment, plainly in the driver’s viewwhich states the max permissible speed ofthe snow tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same (brandand track) to ensure greater safety whendriving and braking and better driveability.

Remember that it is inappropriate tochange the direction of rotation of tyres.

The max speed for snowtyres with “Q” marking is

160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T”marking and 210 km/h for tyres withH marking. The Road Traffic Codespeed limits must however be alwaysstrictly observed.

WARNING

SNOW CHAINS

Use of snow chains should be in compli-ance with local regulations.

Snow chains should only be applied to thedriving wheels (front wheels).

Check the tension of the chains after thefirst few metres have been driven. Usesnow chains with reduced size: for 195/65R15” and 205/55 R16” tyres use snowchains with reduced size with max pro-trusion beyond the tyre profile of 9 mm.

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fit-ted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, ifa front wheel is punctured and chains areneeded, a rear wheel should be fitted tothe front of the car and the spare wheelshould be fitted to the rear.

Keep your speed downwhen snow chains arefitted. Do not exceed

50 Km/h. Avoid potholes, stepsand pavements and avoid also to drivefor long distances on roads not coveredwith snow to prevent damaging the carand the roadbed.

CAR INACTIVITY

If the car is to be left inactive for longerthan a month, the following precautionsshould be noted:

❒ park the car in covered, dry and if pos-sible well-ventilated premises;

❒ engage a gear;

❒ check that the handbrake is not en-gaged;

❒ disconnect the battery negative termi-nal;

❒ clean and protect the painted parts us-ing protective wax;

❒ clean and protect the shiny metal partsusing special compounds readily avail-able.

❒ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubberwindscreen and rear window wiperblades and lift them off the glass;

❒ slightly open the windows;

❒ cover the car with a cloth or perforat-ed plastic sheet. Do not use sheets ofnon-perforated plastic as they do notallow moisture on the car body toevaporate;

❒ inflate tyres to +0,5 bar above the nor-mal specified pressure and check it atintervals;

❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.

IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch offthe car alarm with the remote control.

YENGINE STARTING

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, it is possible to startthe engine using an auxiliary battery withthe same capacity or a little higher thanthe flat one.

Proceed as follows fig. 1:

❒ Connect positive terminals (+ near theterminal) of the two batteries with ajump lead;

❒ With a second lead, connect the nega-tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary batteryand to an earthing point E on the en-gine or the gearbox of the car to bestarted;

❒ Start the engine;

❒ When the engine has been started, re-move the leads reversing the orderabove.

If after a few attempts the engine does notstart, do not insist but contact the near-est Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect thenegative terminals of the two batteries:sparks could ignite the flammable gas fromthe battery. If the other battery is fitted inanother car, prevent accidental contactsbetween the metal parts of the two cars.

BUMP STARTING

Never bump start the engine (by pushing,towing, or coasting downhill) as this couldcause fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-haust system and damage it beyond repair.

IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-brake and electrical power steering sys-tem are not operating until the engine isstarted, a greater effort will therefore berequired to press the brake pedal or turnthe steering wheel.

fig. 1 F0Q0733m

Under no circumstancesshould a battery charger beused to start the engine: itcould damage the electronic

systems and in particular the ignitionand injection control units.

Do not carry out this proce-dure if you lack experience;

if it is not done correctly it can causevery intense electrical discharges. Inaddition, the fluid contained in thebattery is poisonous and corrosive.Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Youare also advised not to put nakedflames or lighted cigarettes near thebattery and not to cause sparks.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

As an alternative to the Fix&Go kit, thecar can be provided (upon request) withspace-saver spare wheel or standard sizespare wheel; wheel changing and correctuse of the jack and space-saver sparewheel call for some precautions as listedbelow.

Alert other drivers that thecar is stationary in compli-

ance with local regulations: hazardwarning lights, warning triangle, etc.Any passengers on board should leavethe car, especially if it is heavily laden.Passengers should stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is be-ing changed. If parked on a slope orrough surface, chock the wheels withwedges or other suitable devices toprevent the car from rolling.

WARNINGThe space-saver spare wheel(where provided) is specific

to your car, do not use it on othermodels, or use the spare wheel of oth-er models on your car. The space-saver spare wheel shall only be usedin an emergency. It shall only be usedfor the distance necessary to reach aservice point and the car speed shallnot exceed 80 Km/h. The spare wheelhas an orange sticker that summaris-es the main cautions for use and lim-itations. The sticker should never beremoved or covered. Never fit a wheelcap on a space-saver spare wheel.The sticker gives the following infor-mation in four languages: caution! Fortemporary use only! 80 km/h max!Replace by normal wheel as soon aspossible. Do not cover this label.

YThe jack shall only be usedfor changing wheels on the

car with which it is provided or oncars of the same model. It must notbe used for other purposes such as forinstance raising cars of other models.In no case should it be used for repairsunder the car. Incorrect positioningof the jack may cause the jacked carto fall. Do not use the jack for high-er capacities than stated on its label.Snow chains cannot be fitted to thespace-saver spare wheel. So, if a front(drive) wheel is punctured and chainsare needed, a rear wheel should befitted to the front of the car and thespare wheel should be fitted to therear. This way with two normal dri-ve wheels, snow chains can be fittedto them to solve an emergency.

WARNINGFasten the wheel cap cor-rectly to prevent the wheel

from coming free in motion. Nevertamper with the inflation valve. Nev-er place tools between the rim andtyre. Check and restore, if required,the pressure of tyres and spare wheelto the values given in section “Tech-nical specifications”.

WARNINGWhen driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the

driving performance of the carchanges. Avoid accelerating or brak-ing sharply, abrupt turns or fast cor-nerings. The life of the spare wheelis approx. 3000 Km, after this dis-tance it should be replaced with an-other of the same type. Never at-tempt to fit a conventional tyre on arim designed for use as a space-saverspare wheel. Have the puncturedwheel repaired and refitted as soonas possible. Two or more space-saverspare wheels should never be used to-gether. Do not grease the threads ofbolts before installing them: theymight slip out.

Inflate the tyre to the pres-sure specified in paragraph “Cold tyreinflation pressure” in section “Techni-cal specifications”. Check tyre pressureon gauge F-fig. 15 with compressor offto obtain precise reading;

❒ If after 5 minutes it is still impossibleto reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage com-pressor from valve and current outlet,then move the car forth for approx. tenmetres in order to distribute the seal-ing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then re-peat the inflation operation;

❒ If after this operation it is still impossi-ble after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.8bar, do not start driving since the tyreis excessively damaged and the quicktyre repair kit cannot guarantee suit-able sealing, contact Fiat Dealership;

❒ If reaching the tyre pressure specifiedin paragraph “Cold tyre inflation pres-sure” in section “Technical specifica-tions”, start driving immediately;

Apply the sticker in a visibleposition for the driver to in-

dicate that the tyre has been treat-ed with the quick tyre repair kit. Dri-ve carefully especially when corner-ing. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoidheavy braking and accelerating.

FOR CHECKING ANDRESTORING PRESSURE ONLY

The compressor can be also used just forrestoring pressure. Disconnect the quickconnection and connect it directly to thetyre valve fig. 16; in this way the cylinderis not connected to compressor and thesealing fluid will not flow into the tyre.

CYLINDER REPLACEMENTPROCEDURE

To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-lows:

❒ disconnect connection B-fig. 17;

❒ turn counter-clockwise the cylinder toreplace and raise it;

❒ fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-wise;

❒ connect connection B to the cylinderand fit the transparent tube A into theproper space.

fig. 16 F0Q0517m fig. 17 F0Q0512m

❒ if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-store proper pressure (with enginerunning and handbrake on) and restart;

❒ drive with the utmost care to the near-est Fiat Dealership.

It is of vital importance tocommunicate that the tyre

has been repaired using the quick tyrerepair kit. Hand the instructionbrochure to the personnel chargedwith treating the tyre repaired withthe kit.

WARNING

If the pressure falls below 1.8bars, do not drive any fur-

ther: the quick tyre repair kit Fix & Goautomatic cannot guarantee properhold because the tyre is too muchdamaged. Contact Fiat Dealership.

WHEN NEEDING TOCHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

❒ When a light is not working, check thatthe corresponding fuse is intact beforechanging a bulb. For the location of fus-es, refer to the paragraph “If a fuseblows” in this section;

❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-tacts for oxidation;

❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-ers of the same type and power;

❒ Always check the height of the head-light beam after changing a bulb.

Halogen bulbs must be han-dled touching only the metal-lic part. If the transparent bulbis touched with the fingers, its

lighting intensity is reduced and life ofthe bulb may be compromised. Iftouched accidentally, rub the bulb witha cloth moistened with alcohol and al-low to dry.

Modifications or repairs tothe electrical system (elec-

tronic control units) carried out in-correctly and without bearing the fea-tures of the system in mind can causemalfunctions with the risk of fire.

WARNING

Due to high voltage, the bulbof (Bi-Xenon) gas-discharge

headlights must only be replaced byexperts: danger of death! Contact Fi-at Dealership.

WARNING

IMPORTANT The headlight inner surfacemay be lightly misted over: this is not afault but a natural fact due to low tem-perature and the level of air humidity. Itwill disappear as soon the headlights areturned on. The presence of drops insidethe headlights means water infiltration,therefore contact Fiat Dealership.

Halogen bulbs contain pres-surised gas which, if broken,

may cause small fragments of glass tobe projected outwards.

IMPORTANT The Programmed Mainte-nance coupons are specified by the Man-ufacturer. The failure to have them car-ried out may invalidate the warranty.

Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-at Dealership, at pre-established times.

If during each operation, in addition to theones programmed, the need arises for fur-ther replacements or repairs, these maybe carried out only with the explicit agree-ment of the Customer.

IMPORTANT You are advised to contactFiat Dealership in the event of any minoroperating faults, without waiting for thenext service coupon.

If your car is used frequently for towing,the interval between one service couponand the other must be reduced.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance is essential for en-suring long car life under the best condi-tions.

This is why Fiat has programmed a seriesof checks and maintenance operationsevery 30.000 km.

It is however important to remember thatscheduled servicing does not completelycover all the car’s requirements: also inthe initial period before 30.000 km servicecoupon and later, between one couponand another, ordinary care is still requiredsuch as for example routine check andtopping up the level of fluids, tyre pressurecheck, etc...

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,check and top up if required:

❒ engine coolant fluid level;

❒ brake fluid level;

❒ windscreen washer fluid level;

❒ tyre pressure and conditions;

❒ light system operation (headlights, di-rection indicators, hazard lights, etc.);

❒ windscreen wiper/washer operationand windscreen/rear window bladeposition/wear;

Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-quired: engine oil level.

You are recommended to use FL Sele-nia, products, designed and producedspecifically for Fiat cars (see table “Ca-pacities” in section “Technical specifica-tions”).

HEAVY-DUTY

Should prevailing use of the car be underone of the following specially heavy con-ditions:

❒ trailer or caravan towing;

❒ dusty roads;

❒ short distances (less than 7-8 km) re-peated and with external tempera-tures below zero;

❒ frequently idling engines or long dis-tance low speed driving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or in case of a longterm inactivity;

❒ driving in the city;

carry out the following checks more fre-quently than required in the ServiceSchedule:

❒ check front disk brake pad conditionsand wear;

❒ check cleanness of locks, bonnet andboot and lever cleanness and lubrica-tion;

❒ sight inspect the conditions of: engine,gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses(exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);

❒ check battery charge and fluid level(electrolyte) (only to be carried out byskilled personnel or at Fiat Dealership– see also paragraph “Battery” in thissection);

❒ visual check on various drive belt con-ditions;

❒ check and replace pollen filter, if re-quired;

❒ check and replace air cleaner, if re-quired.

When topping up take carenot to confuse the varioustypes of fluids: they are all in-compatible with one another

and could seriously damage the car.

ENGINE OIL fig. 4-5-6

Checking engine oil

Check the oil level a few minutes (about5) after the engine has stopped, with thecar parked on level ground.

Remove the dipstick A and clean it, putit back in completely, remove it and checkthat the level is within the MIN and MAXmarks on the dipstick. The interval be-tween the MIN and MAX marks corre-sponds to about one litre of oil.

fig. 4 - 1.4 16V version F0Q0665m

Topping up engine oil

If the oil level is near or even below theMIN mark, add oil through the filler neckB, until reaching the MAX mark.

Oil level shall never exceed the MAXmark.

IMPORTANT If a routine check revealsthat the oil level is above the MAX mark,contact Fiat Dealership to have the cor-rect level restored.

IMPORTANT After adding or changingthe oil, let the engine turn over for a fewseconds and wait a few minutes after turn-ing it off before you check the level.

Engine oil consumption

Max engine oil consumption is usually 400grams every 1000 km.

When the car is new, the engine needsto run in, therefore the engine oil con-sumption can only be considered stabilisedafter the first 5000 - 6000 km.

IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-pends on driving style and the conditionsunder which the car is used.

IMPORTANT Do not add oil with speci-fications other than that already in the en-gine.

WARNING

Used engine oil and filter con-tain harmful substances forthe environment. Contact Fi-at Dealership to have the oil

and filter changed.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID fig. 7-8

The coolant level shall be checked withcold engine and shall not be lower thanthe MIN mark on the reservoir.

If the level is low, pour slowly a mixtureof 50% distilled water and 50%PARAFLUUP of the FL Selenia throughthe filler neck A.

A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLUUP and dis-tilled water gives freeze protection to–35°C.

fig. 7 - 1.4 16V version F0Q0617m fig. 8 - 1.9 Multijet version F0Q0619m

The cooling system usesPARAFLUUP antifreeze. Donot add fluid having differentspecifications from that al-

ready existing. PARAFLUUP cannot bemixed with other types of fluids. Shouldother fluids be added, do not start theengine and contact Fiat Dealership assoon as possible.

Do not remove the reservoircap when the engine is hot:

you risk scalding yourself. The cool-ing system is pressurised. If necessary,replace the cap only with anothergenuine one, otherwise system effi-ciency could be compromised.

Symbol π, on the containerindicates synthetic brake flu-

id, distinguishing it from the mineralkind. Using mineral fluids irreversiblydamages the special braking systemrubber seals.

WARNING

Brake fluid is poisonous andhighly corrosive. In the event

of accidental contact, wash the partsinvolved immediately with neutralsoap and water, then rinse thor-oughly. Call the doctor immediatelyif the fluid is swallowed.

WARNING AIR CLEANER/POLLEN FILTER

Air cleaner or pollen filter replacementshall be carried out at Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-ture. For this reason, if the car is mainlyused in areas with a high degree of at-mospheric humidity, the fluid should bereplaced at more frequent intervals thanspecified in the “Service schedule”.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

If required, replace the battery with a gen-uine spare part having the same specifi-cations.

If a battery with different specifications isfitted, the service intervals given in the“Service schedule” in this section will nolonger be valid.

Refer to the instructions provided by thebattery manufacturer.

The liquid in the battery ispoisonous and corrosive.

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Donot bring naked flames or possiblesources of sparks near to the battery:risk of fire and explosion.

WARNING

Running the battery withlow fluid level can damage

the battery beyond repair and couldalso cause its explosion.

WARNING

Incorrect fitting of electricaland electronic accessories canseriously damage the car. If af-ter buying the car, you want

to install electric accessories which re-quire permanent electric supply(alarm, free-hand phone kit, etc.) con-tact Fiat Dealership whose qualifiedpersonnel, in addition to suggesting themost suitable devices, will evaluate theoverall electric absorption, checkingwhether the car electric system is ca-pable of withstanding the load re-quired, or whether it should be inte-grated with a more powerful battery.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR LENGTHENING THE LIFEOF YOUR BATTERY

To avoid draining your battery and length-en its life, observe the following indica-tions:

❒ when you park the car, ensure thedoors, tailgate and bonnet are closedproperly;

❒ the ceiling lights must be off. The caris however provided with an automat-ic system for switching off internallights;

❒ do not keep accessories (e.g.: soundsystem, hazard lights, etc.) switched onfor a long time when the engine is notrunning;

❒ before performing any operation on theelectrical system, disconnect the bat-tery negative cable;

❒ battery terminals shall always be per-fectly tightened.

Moreover, this might lead to a higher riskof the battery electrolyte freezing (thismay even occur at -10°C). If the car is in-active for a long period of time, refer to“Car inactivity”, in section “Correct useof the car”.

If after buying the car, you want to installelectric accessories which require per-manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified per-sonnel, in addition to suggesting the mostsuitable devices, will evaluate the overallelectric absorption, checking whether thecar’s electric system is capable of with-standing the load required, or whether itshould be integrated with a more power-ful battery.

In fact, since these devices continue ab-sorbing energy even when the ignition keyis off, they gradually run down the battery.

EWHEELS AND TYRES

Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-ing the spare, every two weeks and beforelong journeys. The pressure should bechecked with the tyre rested and cold.

For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see“Wheels” in “Technical specifications”section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyrewear fig. 11:

A: normal pressure: tread evenly worn.

B: low pressure: tread particularly wornat the edges.

C: high pressure: tread particularly wornin the centre.

Tyres must be replaced when the treadwears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, com-ply with the laws in the country where thecar is being driven.

IMPORTANT NOTES

❒ As far as possible, avoid sharp brakingand screech starts, etc. Be careful notto hit the kerb, potholes or other ob-stacles hard. Driving for long stretch-es over bumpy roads can damage thetyres;

❒ Periodically check that the tyres haveno cuts in the side wall, abnormalswelling or irregular tyre wear. If any ofthese occur, have the car seen to at aFiat Dealership;

❒ avoid overloading the car when travel-ling: this may cause serious damage tothe wheels and tyres;

fig. 11 F0Q0101m

❒ if a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-ly and charge it to avoid damage to thetyre, the rim, suspensions and steeringsystem;

❒ Tyres age even if they are not usedmuch. Cracks in the tread rubber are asign of ageing. In any case, if the tyreshave been on the car for over 6 years,they should be checked by specialisedpersonnel, to see if they can still beused. Also remember to check thespace-saver spare wheel;

❒ In the case of replacement, always fitnew tyres, avoiding those of dubiousorigin;

❒ If a tyre is changed, also change the in-flation valve;

❒ To allow even wear between the frontand rear tyres, it is advisable to changethem over every 10-15 thousand kilo-metres, keeping them on the same sideof the car so as to not reverse the di-rection of rotation.

RUBBER HOSES

As far as the brake system and fuel rubberhoses are concerned, carefully follow the“Service schedule” in this section.

Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-longed lack of fluid in the system maycause hardening and cracking of the hoses,with possible leaks. Careful control istherefore necessary.

Remember that road holdingdepends also on the correct

tyre inflating pressure.

WARNING

If the pressure is too low thetyre overheats and this can

cause it serious damage.

WARNING

Do not cross switch thetyres, moving them from the

right of the car to the left and viceversa.

WARNING

Never submit alloy rims torepainting treatments re-

quiring to use temperatures exceed-ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-erties of the wheels could be im-paired.

EWINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOWWIPERS

BLADES

Periodically clean the rubber part usingspecial products; TUTELA PROFES-SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.

Change the blades if the rubber edge iswarped or worn out. You should in any casechange them approximately once a year.

Driving with worn wiperblades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in badweather.

WARNING

Changing the windscreen wiper blades

Proceed as follows:

❒ raise the windscreen wiper arm and po-sition the blade so that it forms an an-gle of 90° with the arm;

❒ press tab A-fig. 12 of the couplingspring and remove the blade to be re-placed from the arm;

❒ fit the new arm, inserting the tab intothe arm seat. Check for proper locking.

A few simple notions can reduce the pos-sibility of damage to the blades:

❒ if the temperature fall below zero,make sure that ice has not frozen therubber against glass. If necessary, thawusing an antifreeze product;

❒ remove any snow from the glass: in ad-dition to protecting the blades, this pre-vents effort on the motor and over-heating;

❒ do not operate the windscreen andrear window wipers on dry glass.

EBODYWORK

PROTECTION FROMATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

The main causes of corrosion are the fol-lowing:

❒ atmospheric pollution;

❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, orhot humid climates);

❒ seasonal environment conditions.

Not to be underestimated is also the abra-sive action of wind-borne atmosphericdust and sand and mud and gravel raisedby other cars.

On your Fiat Bravo, Fiat implemented thebest manufacturing technologies to effec-tively protect the bodywork against cor-rosion.

These include:

❒ Painting products and systems whichgive the car particular resistance to cor-rosion and abrasion;

❒ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steelsheets, with high resistance to corro-sion;

❒ Spraying the underbody, engine com-partment, wheelhouse internal partsand other parts with highly protectivewax products;

❒ Spraying of plastic parts, with a pro-tective function, in the more exposedpoints: underdoor, inner fender parts,edges, etc.;

❒ Use of “open” boxed sections to pre-vent condensation and pockets of mois-ture from triggering rust inside.

BODY AND UNDERBODYWARRANTY

Your car is covered by warranty againstperforation due to rust of any original el-ement of the structure or body. For thegeneral terms of this warranty, refer tothe Fiat Warranty booklet.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK

Paint

Paintwork does not only serve an aesteth-ic purpose, but also protects the under-lying sheet metal.

In the case of deep scrapes or scores, youare advised to have the necessary touch-ing up carried out immediately to avoidthe formation of rust. Use only originalpaint products for touching up (see “Body-work paint identification plate” in section“Technical specification”).

Normal paint maintenance consists inwashing at intervals depending on the con-ditions and environment of use. For ex-ample, in highly polluted areas, or if theroads are sprayed with salt, it is wise towash the car more frequently.

To wash the car correctly proceed as fol-lows:

❒ remove the aerial from the roof to pre-vent damage to it if the car is washed inan automatic system;

❒ wash the body using a low pressure jetof water;

❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-lution over the bodywork, frequentlyrinsing with the sponge;

❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jetof air or a chamois leather.

When drying, take particular care with theless visible parts like door surrounds, bon-net and around the headlights where wa-ter may stagnate. The car should not betaken to a closed area immediately, but leftin the open so that residual water canevaporate.

Do not wash the car after it has been leftin the sun or with the bonnet hot: this mayalter the shine of the paintwork.

Detergents cause water pol-lution. Therefore the carshould be washed in areasequipped for collecting and

purifying the liquid used in the washingprocess.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned inthe same way as the rest of the car.

Where possible, do not park under trees;the resinous substance many species re-lease give the paint a dull appearance andincrease the possibility of triggering rustprocesses.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must bewashed off immediately and thoroughly asthe acid they contain is particularly ag-gressive.

EFront headlights

IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: ace-tone) for cleaning front headlight plasticlens.

Windows

Use specific window cleaner product. Usealso clean cloths to avoid scratching theglass or damaging the transparency.

IMPORTANT The inside of therearscreen should be wiped gently with acloth in the direction of the filaments toavoid damaging the heating device.

Engine compartment

At the end of the winter the engine com-partment should be carefully washed,without directing the jet against electron-ic control units. Contact a specialisedworkshop to have this done.

IMPORTANT The car should be washedwith the engine cold and the ignition keyat STOP. After washing make sure thatthe various protections (e.g. rubber capsand various covers) have not been dam-aged or removed.

INTERIORS

Periodically check that water is not trappedunder the mats (due to water dripping offshoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could causeoxidisation of the sheet metal.

CLEANING SEATS AND FABRICAND VELVET PARTS

Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to re-move dust. Velvet is cleaned better if thebrush is moistened.

Rub the seats with a sponge moistenedwith a solution of water and neutral de-tergent.

If the stain persists, use specific products,carefully following the instructions for use.

IMPORTANT Never use spirit or alcohol-based products.

Fabric upholstery of your caris purpose-made to withstandcommon wear resulting fromnormal use of the car. It is

however absolutely necessary to pre-vent hard and/or prolonged scratch-ing/scraping caused by clothing acces-sories like metallic buckles, studs, “Vel-cro” fixings, etc. that stressing locallythe fabric could break yarns and dam-age the upholstery as a consequence.

INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS

For routine cleaning of interior plasticparts use a soft cloth moistened with wa-ter and neutral soap. Remove grease orpersisting stains using appropriate solvent-free products designed to preserve ap-pearance and colour of plastic compo-nents.

IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-leum to clean the instrument panel.

Never use flammable prod-ucts like oil ether or rectified

petrol for cleaning car interiors. Elec-trostatic discharges generated by rub-bing during cleaning operations couldcause fire.

For regular operation of Multijet versions fitted with DPF, use the genuine lubricant only. In the event of an emergency, lacking thegenuine lubricant, top up just once with max. 0.5 l and go to Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.Should non-genuine SAE 5W-40 products be used, lubricants with minimum ACEA A3 properties for petrol engines and ACEA B4for Diesel engines are tolerated; in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.

Using low-quality products, not compliant with ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 properties and specifications could cause engine damagesnot covered by warranty.

For very cold temperatures, consult Fiat Dealership for the proper Selenia product to use.

LS FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in thetable below are determined on the basisof the homologation tests set down byspecific European Directives.

The procedures below are followed formeasuring consumption:

❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed bydriving that simulates urban use of thecar;

IMPORTANT The type of route, trafficsituations, weather conditions, drivingstyle, general conditions of the car, trimlevel/equipment/accessories, load, climatecontrol system, roof rack, other situationsthat affect air drag may lead to differentfuel consumption levels than those mea-sured.

❒ extra-urban cycle: frequent acceler-ating in all gears, simulating extraurbanuse of the car; the speed varies be-tween 0 and 120 km/h;

❒ combined consumption: is calculat-ed weighing about 37% of urban cycleconsumption and about 63% of ex-traurban consumption.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE

For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment throughthe continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view toguaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations im-posed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the endof its life span without additional costs.

The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehi-cle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.

Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to our cus-tomers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of yournearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web siteor call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.
