65D209S SEAT BELT INSPECTION Periodically inspect the seat belts to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide loops. Replace any seat belts which do not work properly or are damaged. WARNING Be sure to inspect all seat belt assemblies after any collision. Any seat belt assembly which was in use during a collision (other than a very minor one) should be replaced, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
Infant restraint - rear seat only Booster seat 79J221 79J223 (For EU countries) When purchasing a child restraint and install it to your FIAT, refer to the information about suitability for child restraints shown in “Child Restraint System for EU Countries” in this section. The child restraint installation to this model is limited to the left position of the rear seat except ISOFIX type child restraint of the group 1; child weight 9 to 18kg.
WARNING If your vehicle is equipped with side air bags, do not install a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the passenger’s side air bag inflates, a child in a child restraint could be severely injured. 65D362 WARNING If you install a child restraint system in the rear seat, slide the front seat for enough forward so that the child’s feet do not contact the front seatback. This will help avoid injury to the child in the event of an accident.

79J224 INSTALLATION WITH LAP-SHOULDER SEAT BELTS (available to the left position of the rear seat) IMPORTANT Before installing a child restraint system in the rear seat, raise the head restraint to the most upper position. ELR type belt WARNING Install your child restraint system according to the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. Make sure that the seat belt is securely latched. Try to move the child restraint system in all directions, to make sure it is securely installed.
78F114 Here is a general instruction: ❒ Pull upward on the rear head restraint to the most upper position. IMPORTANT Before installing a child restraint system in the rear seat, raise the head restraint to the most upper position. ❒ If possible, fold the seatback rearward for easier installation. 54G183 54G184 ❒ Place the child restraint in the rear seat, inserting the connecting bars to the anchorages between the seat cushion and the seatback.
❒ Hook the top strap to the anchor bracket and tighten the top strap according to the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. Be sure to attach the top strap to the corresponding anchor located directly behind the child restraint. Do not attach the top strap to the luggage restraint loops (if equipped). 54G185 ❒ Grasp the front of the child restraint and push the child restraint forcefully to latch the connecting bars.
Type 1 To determine if your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt pretensioner system at the front seating positions, check the label on the front seat belt at the bottom part. If the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illustrated, your vehicle is equipped with the seat belt pretensioner system. You can use the pretensioner seat belts in the same manner as ordinary seat belts.
The pretensioner is located in each front seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the event of a frontal crash. The retractors will remain locked after the pretensioners are activated. Upon activation, some noise will occur and some smoke may be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (air bags) (if equipped) WARNING This section of the owner’s manual describes the protection provided by your Fiat’s SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (air bags). Please read and follow ALL these instructions carefully to minimize your risk of severe injury or death in the event of a collision.
63J030 If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument cluster does not blink when the ignition switch is first turned to the “ON” position, or the “AIR BAG” light stays on, or comes on while driving, the air bag system (or the seat belt pretensioner system (if equipped)) may not work properly. Have the air bag system inspected by an authorized Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Front air bags will not inflate Front air bags will probably not inflate 65D236A 65D237A Front air bags are designed to inflate only in severe frontal collisions. They are not designed to inflate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor frontal collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of accidents. Remember, since an air bag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident.
WARNING AVERTISSEMENT ADVERTENCIA WARNUNG ATTENZIONE WAARSCHUWING VIGYÁZAT GB F E D 63J115 I SIDE AIR BAGS AND SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS (if equipped) NL H DO NOT place rear-facing child seat on this seat with airbag. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY can occur. The BACK SEAT with child restraint is the SAFEST place for children. 73K021 Air bag plate The plate is located on the sun visor 50 Side air bags (if equipped) are located in the part of the front seatbacks closest to the doors.
Side collision range 79J116 WARNING If your vehicle is equipped with a side air bag, do not install a child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the passenger’s side air bag inflates, a child in a child restraint could be injured. Side air bags and side curtain air bags will not inflate 54G026 WARNING Never rest head, arms and elbows on the door, on the windows and in the window bag area to prevent possible injuries during inflation phase.
Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute for seat belts. To maximize your protection, ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. Side air bags and side curtain air bags will probably not inflate 54G028 Side air bags and side curtain air bags are designed to inflate only in severe side impact collisions.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully in order to reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable consequence of the quick inflation is that the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as the facial area against a front air bag. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and some powder and smoke will be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the car. Be aware, however, that some air bag components may be hot for a while after inflation.
Note that even though your vehicle may be moderately damaged in a collision, the collision may not have been severe enough to trigger the front or side air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains ANY frontend or side damage, have the air bag system inspected by an authorized Fiat Dealership to ensure it is in proper working order. Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module which records information about the air bag system if the air bags deploy in a crash.
GENERAL WARNINGS WARNING Never travel with objects on your lap, in front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. between your lips; injury may result in the event of the air bag being triggered. WARNING Remember that with the key engaged and at ON, even if the engine is not running, the air bags may be triggered on a stationary vehicle if it is bumped by another moving car. Therefore, never seat children on the front seat even when the vehicle is stationary.
WARNING Do not hook rigid objects to the coat hooks and to the support handles.

DAILY INSPECTION CHECKLIST EXHAUST GAS WARNING WARNING Avoid breathing exhaust gases. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odorless. Since carbon monoxide is difficult to detect by itself, be sure to take the following precautions to help prevent carbon monoxide from entering your vehicle. Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas. Do not park with the engine running for a long period of time, even in an open area.
❒ Brake fluid level ❒ Power steering (if equipped) fluid level ❒ Windshield washer fluid level ❒ Battery solution level 60A187S ❒ Adjust the seat and adjustable head restraint (if equipped). ❒ Check the brake pedal and the parking brake lever. ❒ Adjust the mirrors. ❒ Make sure that you and all passengers have properly fastened your seat belts. ❒ Make sure that all warning lights come on as the key is turned to the “ON” or “START” position. ❒ Check all gauges.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles) STARTING THE ENGINE When judging the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge the true oil level. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driving.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE (For Petrol Engine Model) With your foot off the accelerator pedal, crank the engine by turning the ignition key to “START”. Release the key when the engine starts. IMPORTANT ❒ Stop turning the starter immediately after the engine has started or the starter system can be damaged. ❒ Do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine doesn’t start on the first try, wait about 15 seconds before trying again.
However, you should drive carefully with keeping the legal speed limit, and take care the surrounding traffic condition. If you drive your vehicle at an average speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) for about 5 minutes, the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter will be completed and the Diesel Particulate Filter warning light will go out. IMPORTANT Be sure to regenerate the diesel particulate filter when the Diesel Particulate Filter warning light comes on.
WARNING The remote controller is a sensitive electronic instrument. To avoid damaging it, do not expose it to impacts, moisture or high temperature (such as on the dashboard under direct sunlight). USING THE TRANSAXLE WARNING Always depress the brake pedal before shifting from “P” (Park) (or “N” (Neutral) if the vehicle is stationary) to a forward or reverse gear, to help prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly when you shift.
D (Drive) NOTE: Use this position for all normal driving. With the gearshift lever in “D” range you can get an automatic downshift by pressing the accelerator pedal. The higher the vehicle speed is, the more you need to press the accelerator pedal to get a downshift. If you move the gearshift lever to a lower gear while driving faster than the maximum allowable speed for the lower gear, the transaxle will not actually downshift until your speed drops below the maximum speed for the lower gear.
79J002 WARNING Reduce your speed and downshift to a lower gear before going down a long or steep hill. A lower gear will allow the engine to provide braking. Avoid riding the brakes or they may overheat, resulting in brake failure. When driving on slippery roads, be sure to slow down before downshifting. Excessive and or sudden changes in engine speed may cause loss of traction, which could cause you to lose control. Make sure that the vehicle is completely stationary before you shift into reverse.
4WD LOCK In this position, engine power is supplied to the front and rear axles at reduced speed. Use this position when it is hard to start off in the “4WD AUTO” mode such as in mud, sand or on snow. 79J042 In the AUTO mode, the 4WD controller judges the driving conditions using signals from sensors. When slipping of the front wheels is detected, the electronically controlled coupling supplies optimum driving force to the rear wheels.
From 4WD AUTO to 4WD LOCK Push the “4WD LOCK” switch for a few seconds until the “4WD LOCK” indicator will come on. 79J100 From 4WD LOCK to 4WD AUTO Push the “4WD LOCK” switch, and the “4WD AUTO” indicator will come on. From 4WD AUTO or LOCK to 2WD Push the “2WD” switch, and the “4WD AUTO” or “4WD LOCK” indicator will turn off. NOTE ❒ The 2WD/4WD switch can be operated when the vehicle is either stopped or moving.
BRAKING WARNING Even without reserve power in the brake system, you can still stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal harder than normally required. However, the stopping distance may be longer. The distance needed to bring any vehicle to a halt increases with the speed of the vehicle. The braking distance needed, for example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will be approximately 4 times greater than the braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19 mph).
WARNING On some types of loose surfaces (such as gravel, snowcovered roads, etc.) the stopping distance required for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be slightly greater than for a comparable vehicle with a conventional brake system. With a conventional brake system, skidding tires are able to “plow” the gravel or snow layer, shortening the stopping distance, ABS minimizes this resistance effect. Allow for extra stopping distance when driving on loose surfaces.
HOW THE ABS WORKS A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle after a stop you may hear a momentary motor noise as the system checks itself.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) ABS will help you avoid skidding by electronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering control when braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automatically, so you do not have to use any special braking technique. Just push the brake pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever it senses that wheels are locking up. You may feel the brake pedal pulsate while the ABS is operating.
NOTE When you disconnect and re- connect the battery, ESP® system functions other than ABS will be deactivated and the slip indicator light will blink 1 time per second.
RUNNING-IN IMPORTANT The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important to observe the following precautions during the initial 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. ❒ After starting, do not race the engine. Warm it up gradually. ❒ Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts will break in better if you vary your speed. ❒ Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts.
IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMY The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy. Avoid excessive idling 54G071S ❒ Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as during diagnostic testing. ❒ Do not idle the vehicle for prolonged periods if idling seems rough or there are other malfunctions. ❒ Do not allow the fuel tank to get near the empty level. If you are to wait for more than a minute while you are parked, stop the engine and start it again later.
DRIVING TIPS HIGHWAY DRIVING ......................................................... 168 DRIVING ON HILLS ........................................................... 168 DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADS ....................................
52D078 WARNING Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times. Even though air bags are equipped at the front seating positions, the driver and all passengers should be properly restrained at all times, using the seat belts provided. Refer to the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section for instructions on proper use of the seat belts. Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADS Under wet road conditions you should drive at a lower speed than on dry roads due to possible slippage of tires during braking. When driving on icy, snow-covered, or muddy roads, reduce your speed and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering movements. 79J029 IMPORTANT When descending a down hill, NEVER turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position. Emission control system damage may result.
IF YOUR VEHICLE GETS STUCK If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or sand, follow the directions below: ❒ Shift the transaxle back and forth between first gear and reverse. This will create a rocking motion which may give you enough momentum to free the vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator to keep wheel spin to a minimum. Remove your foot from the accelerator while shifting. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel spin will cause the tires to dig deeper, making it more difficult to free the vehicle.
VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING VEHICLE LOADING ........................................................... 172 TRAILER TOWING ............................................................ 172 TOWING YOUR VEHICLE ..............................................
VEHICLE LOADING Your vehicle was designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities of your vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR, front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR (front and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section. GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer).
IMPORTANT Trailer towing puts additional stress on the engine, drive train, and brakes of your vehicle. Never tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. IMPORTANT For Automatic Transaxle vehicles, do not use “D” range when towing on a steep hill. Towing in “D” range when driving on a steep hill can cause automatic transaxle fluid overheating without warning, which can result in transaxle damage.
TIRES WARNING When towing a trailer, it is very important for your vehicle and trailer to have properly inflated tires. Your vehicle’s tires should be inflated to the pressures listed on your vehicles Tire Information label. If laden pressures are listed on the label, the tires should be inflated to the laden pressures. Inflate trailer tires according to the specifications provided by the trailer manufacturer.
WARNING Never overload your trailer or your vehicle. Gross trailer weight must never exceed the “Towing capacity”. Gross vehicle weight (sum of the weights of the vehicle, all the occupants, accessories including tow bars and a trailer hitch, cargo and trailer nose weight) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section. ADDITIONAL TRAILER TOWING WARNINGS WARNING Connect trailer lights and hook up safety chains every time you tow.
WARNING – Avoid “riding” the brakes. This could cause the brakes to overheat resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Use engine braking as much as possible. – Because of the added trailer weight, your engine may overheat on hot days when going up long or steep hills. Pay attention to your engine temperature gauge. If it indicates overheating, pull off the road and stop in a safe place. Refer to “If the Engine Overheats” in “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE 79J158 Maximum vertical load on trailer hitch point 50 kg (110 lbs) Maximum permissible overhang “a” 810 mm (31.9 in.) Your vehicle may be towed behind another vehicle (such as a motorhome), provided your vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and you use the proper towing method specified for your vehicle. The towing method you must use depends on the specifications of your vehicle: whether it is a manual transaxle vehicle or an automatic transaxle vehicle.

Then, stop the engine. Contact Fiat Dealership to receive indications about the proper fluid to use. ❒ Remove the oil filler plug (1) or (2). Fluid Level Check ❒ Feel the inside of the hole with your finger. If the oil level comes up to the bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is correct.
63J125 NOTE: Do not check the fluid level if you have just driven the vehicle for a long time at high speed, if you have driven in city traffic in hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pulling a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down (about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indication will not be correct. ❒ Park your vehicle on level ground. ❒ Apply the parking brake and then start the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for two minutes and keep it running during the fluid level check.
ENGINE COOLANT Petrol engine Diesel engine SELECTION OF COOLANT To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use PARAFLU UP. This type of coolant is best for your cooling system as it: ❒ Helps maintain proper engine temperature. 79J006 79J145 ❒ Gives proper protection against freezing and boiling. IMPORTANT To avoid damaging your cooling system: ❒ Gives proper protection against corrosion and rust.
ADDING COOLANT WARNING It is hazardous to remove the degassing tank cap for Diesel engine when the water temperature is high, because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure. Wait until the coolant temperature has lowered before removing the cap. IMPORTANT ❒ The mixture you use should contain 50% concentration of antifreeze.
❒ After filling, let the engine idle for about 2–3 minutes to get rid of air in the cooling system. ❒ Stop the engine. ❒ Check the coolant level in the radiator again. If the level has gone down, add more coolant. IMPORTANT The coolant must be replaced with the vehicle on level ground. 79J007 COOLANT REPLACEMENT WARNING It is hazardous to remove the radiator cap when the water temperature is high, because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure.
WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AIR CLEANER Front and rear If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption. Check windscreen washer fluid level in the tank and if required top up with TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 diluted with water, if necessary. WARNING Do not use “antifreeze” solution in the windshield washer reservoir.
Petrol engine SPARK PLUGS (Petrol engine) For Nickel spark plugs (traditional type): (1) You should inspect spark plugs periodically for carbon deposits. When carbon accumulates on a spark plug, a strong spark may not be produced. Remove carbon deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the spark plug gap. 79J008 Diesel engine (1) (1) 79J009 To access the spark plugs: ❒ Loosen the 3 bolts (1) and remove the air cleaner Assy. ❒ If necessary, disconnect the coupler (2) while pushing the release lever.
IMPORTANT ❒ When installing the spark plugs, screw them in with your fingers to avoid stripping the threads. Tighten with a torque wrench to 25 Nm (2.5 kgm, 18.0 lb-ft). Do not allow contaminants to enter the engine through the spark plug holes when the plugs are removed. Loosen Tighten ❒ Never use spark plugs with the wrong thread size. 60G160A IMPORTANT ❒ When disconnecting the spark plug cables, pull on the boot, not on the cable itself. Pulling on the cable can damage it.
NOTE If your engine is equipped with the hightension cord type ignition wiring and you experience some firing problem of spark plugs, such as, hard engine- starting, misfire etc., the cause may be located not only on spark plugs but also on deteriorated ignition wirings (generally, used for more than 80000 km or five years). If spark plug replacement does not solve the problem, have the ignition wiring and other ignition system inspected by your Fiat Dealership.
BRAKES BRAKE FLUID Check the brake fluid level by looking at the reservoir in the engine compartment. Check that the fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the “MAX” line with TUTELA TOP 4 SAE J1704 o DOT4 brake fluid. 79J010 WARNING Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or serious damage to the brake system.
With the engine running, measure the distance between the brake pedal and floor carpet when the pedal is depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The minimum distance required is as specified. Since your vehicle’s brake system is selfadjusting, there is no need for pedal adjustment. 54G108 BRAKE PEDAL Check if the brake pedal stops at the regular height without “spongy” feeling when you depress it. If not, have the brake system inspected by your Fiat Dealership.
STEERING Steering wheel play “c”: 0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.) Check the play of the steering wheel by gently turning it from left to right and measuring the distance that it moves before you feel slight resistance. The play should be between the specified values.
TIRES CLUTCH PEDAL The front and rear tire pressure specifications for your vehicle are listed on the Tire Information Label. Both the front and rear tires should have the specified tire pressure. FLUID CONTROL CLUTCH Check the clutch pedal for smooth operation and clutch fluid level from time to time. If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by your Fiat Dealership.
WARNING – Air pressures should be checked when the tires are cold or you may get inaccurate readings. – Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tire gradually, until the specified pressure is obtained. – Never underinflate or overinflate the tires. Underinflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tire bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tire or rim. Overinflation can cause the tire to burst, resulting in personal injury.
WARNING – Your Fiat is equipped with tires which are all the same type and size. This is important to ensure proper steering and handling of the vehicle. Never mix tires of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tires used should be only those approved by Fiat as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle.
54G115 COMPACT SPARE TIRE (if equipped) 1. Wear indicator 2. Indicator location mark Your vehicle comes equipped with the compact spare tire. The compact spare is designed to save space in your storage area, and its lighter weight makes it easier to install if a flat tire occurs.

BODY WORK CARE CORROSION PREVENTION ........................................... 234 VEHICLE CLEANING .........................................................
CORROSION PREVENTION It is important to take good care of your vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listed below are instructions for how to maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please read and follow these instructions carefully. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CORROSION Common causes of corrosion ❒ Accumulation of road salt, dirt, moisture, or chemicals in hard to reach areas of the vehicle underbody or frame.
Remove foreign material deposits Foreign material such as salts, chemicals, road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and industrial fall-out may damage the finish of your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces. Remove these types of deposits as quickly as possible. If these deposits are difficult to wash off, an additional cleaner may be required. Be sure that any cleaner you use is not harmful to painted surfaces and is specifically intended for your purposes.
VEHICLE CLEANING Vinyl floor mats Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl with water or mild soap. Use a brush to help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened, rinse the mat thoroughly with water and dry it in the shade. WARNING When cleaning the interior or exterior of the vehicle, NEVER USE flammable solvents such as lacquer thinners, gasoline, benzene or cleaning materials such as bleaches or strong household detergents. The materials could cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle.
When washing the vehicle, park it where direct sunlight does not fall on it and follow the instructions below: Flush the underside of body and wheel housings with pressurized water to remove mud and debris. Use plenty of water. 60B212S WARNING – Never attempt to wash and wax your vehicle with the engine running. – When cleaning the underside of the body and fender, where there may be sharp-edged parts, you should wear gloves and a long sleeved shirt to protect your hands and arms from being cut.
❒ Once the dirt has been completely removed, rinse off the detergent with running water. ❒ After rinsing, wipe off the vehicle body with a wet chamois or cloth and allow it to dry in the shade. ❒ Check carefully for damage to painted surfaces. If there is any damage, “touchup” the damage following the procedure below: WAXING – Stir the paint and “touch- up” the damaged spots lightly using a small brush.
