If the warning light stays on, con-tact a Fiat-Tata Dealership.

The electronic componentsinside the key may be dam-aged if the key is submitted tosharp knocks.

OPERATION

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 warning light turns on ac-companied by the related message on thedisplay (see section “Warning lights andmessages”).

SPEEDOMETER fig. 11

It shows the car speed.

REV. COUNTER fig. 12

Rev counter shows engine rpm.

IMPORTANT The electronic injectioncontrol system gradually shuts off the flowof fuel when the engine is ‘over-revving’resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-er.

When the engine is idling, the rev countermay indicate a gradual or sudden increaseof the speed.

This is normal and does not indicate afault. It may be caused, for example, by theoperation of the climate control systemor fan. In these case, a slow change in en-gine speed is used to protect the batterycharge.

LOOKING AFTERTHE SYSTEM

Run the climate control system for at least10 minutes every month during the win-ter. Have the system inspected at a Fiat-Tata Dealership before the summer.

The system uses R134a re-frigerant fluid which does notharm the environment in theevent of accidental leakage.

Never use R12 fluid which is not com-patible with the system components.

IMPORTANT The inside air recirculationsystem makes it possible to reach the re-quired “heating” or “cooling” conditionsfaster.

Do not use the air recirculation functionon rainy/cold days as it would consider-ably increase the possibility of the win-dows misting inside.

AIR RECIRCULATION

Move slider D to position to switchinternal air recirculation on.

It is advisable to switch internal air recir-culation on while standing in queues or intunnels to prevent the introduction of pol-luted air. Do not use the function for along time, particularly if there are manyoccupants on board, to prevent the win-dows from misting up.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATECONTROL SYSTEM (where provided)

GENERAL

The automatic climate control system ad-justs the temperature, the quantity and thedistribution of the air in the passengercompartment. Temperature is controlledon the basis of an “equivalent tempera-ture” principle; in other words, the sys-tem continuously works to keep the com-fort level inside the car constant and tocompensate for possible variations of ex-ternal conditions, including sun radiationdetected by a specific sensor.

The automatically controlled parametersand functions are:

air temperature at the vents;

air distribution at the vents;

fan speed (continuous air flow varia-tion);

compressor fan on (for cooling/dehu-midifying the air);

air recirculation.

All functions may be manually changed. Inorder words, you may select one or morefunctions and change the parameters asrequired. Automatic control of the man-ually changed functions will be suspended:the system will change override your set-tings only for safety related reasons (e.g.risk of misting up).

Manual selections will always have higherpriority over automatic settings and willbe stored until the user switches the sys-tem back to automatic control by press-ing AUTO expect for the cases in whichthe system will intervene for particular,safety-related reasons.

You can adjust one function automatical-ly and have the automatic system controlall the others.

The air temperature is always automati-cally controlled according to the temper-ature shown on the display (except forwhen the system is off or in certain con-ditions when the compressor is not run-ning).

USINGTHE CLIMATECONTROL SYSTEM

The system can be started in differentways, but it is advisable to start by press-ing the AUTO button and then turningthe knobs to set the temperature requiredon the display.

The system will start running automaticallyin this way and the set comfortable tem-perature will be reached as quickly as pos-sible. The system will adjust the temper-ature, the quantity and the distribution ofthe air introduced into the passenger com-partment and will manage the recircula-tion function and the compressor.

Manual intervention is only required forthe following functions during fully auto-matic operation.

air recirculation, to keep thefunction always either on or off;

to speed up demisting/defrosting ofwindscreen, rear window and exter-nal rearview mirrors;

During completely automatic system op-eration, you can vary the set temperature,the air distribution and the fan speed us-ing the corresponding buttons or knobsat any time: the system will automaticallychange settings to adapt to the new re-quest.

During fully automatic operation (FULLAUTO), the word FULL will disappearif the air distribution, air speed, compres-sor and/or recirculation settings arechanged. In this way, the functions willswitch from automatic to manual controluntil AUTO is pressed again. With on ormore manually set functions, the intro-duced air temperature is still managed au-tomatically by the system,except for whenthe compressor is off: in the case, the airintroduced into the passenger compart-ment cannot be cooler than the outsideair.

Air temperature adjustmentknob (I)

Turn the knob either clockwise or anti-clockwise to increase or lower the re-quested temperature in the passengercompartment. The set temperature isshown on the display.

Turn the knob either all to the right orall to the left to the extreme HI or LOposition to use the maximum heating ormaximum cooling functions:

HI function (maximum heating):

select by turning the temperature knobclockwise over the maximum value(32 °C).

This function may be used to heat up thepassenger compartment exploiting thesystem potential to the maximum. In thiscondition, the system stop controllingtemperature automatically and sets airmixing to maximum heating.The air speedand distribution are fixed.

Specifically, if the heating fluid is not suffi-ciently warm, the fan will not start up atthe maximum speed immediately to limitintroducing excessively cool air into thepassenger compartment.

All manual settings will be allowed whenthis function is on.

To switch the function off, simply turn thetemperature knob anticlockwise and setthe required temperature.

LO function (maximum cooling):

select by turning the temperature knobanticlockwise under the minimum value(16 °C).

This function may be used to cool downthe passenger compartment exploiting thesystem potential to the maximum. In thiscondition, the system stop controllingtemperature automatically and sets airmixing to maximum cooling.The air speedand distribution are fixed. All manual set-tings will be allowed when this functionis on.

To switch the function off, simply turn thetemperature knob anticlockwise and setthe required temperature.

Air distribution buttons (B)

Press these buttons to manually set oneof the seven air distribution settings:

Air flow to the windscreen and frontside window vents to demist or de-frost them.

Air flow at central and side dashboardvents to ventilate the chest and theface during the hot season.

Air flow to the front and rear foot wellvents. Thanks to the natural tenden-cy of hot air to spread upwards, thisdistribution pattern allows to warmthe passenger compartment up asquickly as possible, providing an im-mediate feeling of warmth.

Air flow distributed between foot wellvents (hotter air) and central and sidedashboard vents (cooler air). This dis-tribution is particularly useful in springand autumn on a sunny day.

Air flow distributed between foot wellvents and windscreen and front sidewindow defrosting/demisting vents.This allows an adequate warming ofthe passenger compartment and pre-vents the windows from misting up.

Air flow distributed between wind-screen and front side window de-froster/demister and central and sidedashboard vents. This distribution al-lows to maintain good levels of com-fort and the passenger compartmentadequately cool (summer).

Air flow distributed between wind-screen and front side window de-froster/demister and central and sidedashboard vents. This distribution al-lows adequate air diffusion and main-tains a good level of comfort both insummer and winter.

The set distribution is shown by the cor-responding LEDs on the selected buttons.

To restore automatic air distribution con-trol after a manual adjustment, press but-ton AUTO .

Fan speed adjusting buttons (H)

Press button H to increase or to decreasethe fan speed and therefore the amountof air admitted into the passenger com-partment, although keeping the requiredtemperature set.

The fan speed is shown by the lit bars onthe display:

max fan speed = all bars lit;

min fan speed = one bar lit.

The fan can be cut off only if the climatecontrol compressor has been switchedoff pressing button F-fig. 34.

IMPORTANT To restore automatic fanspeed control after a manual adjustment,press button AUTO .

IMPORTANTAt high speeds, the dynamiceffect may increase the flow of air into thepassenger compartment which in this casewill not directly correspond to the fanspeed bar display.

AUTO (A) (automatic operation)

Press AUTO to make the system auto-matically adjust the quantity and distribu-tion of the air introduced into the pas-senger compartment.All previous manu-al settings will be cancelled.

The message FULL AUTO will appearon the front display in this condition.

By manually intervening on at least of thefunctions automatically managed by thesystem (air recirculation, fan speed orcompressor on/off), the word FULL willdisappear from the display indicating thatthe system is no longer automatically con-trolling all the functions (the temperaturewill still be controlled automatically by thesystem).

IMPORTANT Should the system (aftermanual setting s) be no longer able toguarantee the required temperature setin the passenger compartment, the settemperature value will start flashing to in-dicate this condition, after one minute theAUTO message will turn off.

To restore system automatic control atany time, after one or more manual ad-justments, press button AUTO .

Air recirculation on/off button (G)

Air recirculation works according to thefollowing operating logics:

override on (inside air recirculationalways on), indicated by the the LEDon button G and symbol onthe display;

override off (air recirculation alwaysoff and introduction of external air),indicated by the fact that the LED onthe button is off is on the display.

These operating conditions are obtainedby pressing G in sequence.

IMPORTANT The inside air recircula-tion system makes it possible to reachthe required heating or cooling condi-tions faster.

It is however inadvisable to use it onrainy/cold days as it would considerablyincrease the possibility of the windowsmisting inside, especially if the climatecontrol compressor is off.

Recirculation is forced off (i.e. air isintroduced from the outside) when thethe outside temperature is cold to pre-vent misting up.

It is advisable not to use the air recircu-lation function when the outside tem-perature is low to prevent the windowsfrom rapidly misting up.

Door unlocking in the eventof a crash

If the fuel cut-off switch trips following anaccident, the doors will be automaticallyunlocked to let you leave the car and theceiling lights will be switched on at thesame time. The doors can always beopened from the inside of the car bymeans of the specific levers.

Proceed as follows if no fuel leakage isfound and and the car is in condition to bedriven to rearm the fuel cut-off switch.

FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH

The car is fitted with a safety switch thatin the event of a crash comes into opera-tion by cutting off fuel and turning off theengine as a consequence.

This device therefore prevents fuel leaksdue to fuel piping breaking.

IMPORTANT After the accident, re-member to remove the electronic keyfrom the ignition device to prevent drain-ing the battery.

The message “FPS on” will appear on thedigital display when the switch trips. Themessage “Fuel cut off switch, see hand-book” will appear on the multifunctionaldisplay.

If,after a crash,you smell fu-el or see leaks from the fuel

system, do not reset the switch toavoid fine risk.

WARNING

If the centralised door lock-ing system was operated

from inside the car and the fuel cut-off switch did not manage to auto-matically release the doors, it will notbe possible to access the passengercompartment from the outside afteran accident.The possibility of open-ing the doors from the outside de-pends on the conditions of the doorsthemselves after the accident: if maynot be possible to open a damageddoor. In this case, try to open the oth-er doors of the car.

ABS SYSTEM

If you have never driven a car with ABS be-fore, it is advisable to perform a few testson slippery ground, naturally in conditionsof safety and respecting the Highway Codeof the country where you are driving.Readthe following information carefully.

The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-tem,which prevents the wheels from lock-ing when braking, makes the most of roadgrip and gives the best control when emer-gency braking under difficulty road condi-tions.

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

IMPORTANT Maximum efficiency of thebraking system is obtained after approxi-mately 500 km (when the car is new or af-ter replacing the brake pads/discs): duringthis time, avoid sudden, repeated and pro-longed braking.

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.

WARNING

ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION

Intervention of the ABS is detected by aslight pulsing of the brake pedal accompa-nied by noise: such an event indicates thatyou need to adjust your speed to the typeof road on which you are travelling.

When the ABS intervenes itmeans that you are ap-

proaching the grip limit between tyresand road: slow down to exploit all theavailable grip.

WARNING

(where provided)FAILURE INDICATIONS

ABS failure

ABS failure is indicated by the turning onof warning light on the instrument pan-el together with the dedicated message onthe multifunctional display (where pro-vided), (see section “Warning lights andmessages”).

In the case, the braking system will workas normal without the extra potentials of-fered by the ABS system. Drive carefullyto the nearest Fiat-Tata Dealership to havethe system checked.

OLS EOBD SYSTEM

(where provided)

The EOBD system (European On BoardDiagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis ofthe components of the car correlated withemissions.

It also alerts the driver, by turning on thewarning light on the instrument pan-el (together with relevant message on themultifunctional display, where provided)(see section “Warning lights and mes-sages”), when these conditions are nolonger in peak conditions.

The objective is:

to monitor system efficiency;

warn when a fault causes emissions lev-els to increase;

to warn of the need to replace deteri-orated components.

The system also has a diagnostic connec-tor that can be interfaced with appropri-ate tools, which makes it possible to readthe error codes stored in the control unit,together with a series of specific parame-ters for engine operation and diagnosis.This check can also be carried out by thetraffic police.

IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-convenience, to check the system com-pletely, Fiat-Tata Dealerships are obligedto run a bench test and, if necessary, r-oad tests which may also call for a longjourney.

Go to a Fiat-Tata Dealers-hip as soon as possible ifwarning light either doesot light up when the key is

tumed to MAR to if while travelling t-he warning lights comes on either ste-ady or blink ing (along with a messag-e on the multifunctional display, wh-ere providedThe operation of warning

TRANSCEIVERSAND MOBILE PHONES

Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacsmobile phones, HAM radio systems andthe like) shall not be used inside the carunless a separate aerial is mounted on theroof.

IMPORTANT The use of similar devicesinside the passenger compartment (with-out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-quency electromagnetic fields which, am-plified by the resonance effects inside thepassenger compartment, may cause elec-trical systems equipping the car to mal-function. This could compromise safety inaddition to constituting a potential hazardfor the passengers.

In addition, transmission and reception ofthese devices may be affected by theshielding effect of the car body.

As concerns EC-approved mobile phones(GSM,GPRS,UMTS), strictly comply withthe instructions for use provided by themobile phone’s manufacturer.

ACCESSORIESPURCHASED BY THEOWNER

If after buying the car, you decide to installelectrical accessories that require a per-manent electric supply (alarm, satellite an-titheft system, etc.) or accessories that inany case burden the electric supply, con-tact Fiat-Tata Dealership, whose qualifiedpersonnel, besides suggesting the mostsuitable devices belonging to Linea access-ories Fiat,will also evaluate the overall elect-ric absorption, checking whether the car’selectric system is able to withstand theload required, or whether it needs to beintegrated with a more powerful battery.

Be very careful when fittingnon-standard additional

spoilers, light alloy wheels or wheelcups: they could reduce brake venti-lation and consequently brake effi-ciency in the case of repeated,violentbraking or on long downhill roads.Make sure that nothing obstructs thepedal stroke (mats, etc.)

WARNING

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICDEVICE INSTALLATION

Electrical and electronic devices installedafter buying the car by after-market ser-vice must carry the following label:

FIAT INDIA AUTOMOBILES LTD. auth-orises the installation of transceiving dev-ices provided that they are installed accord-ing to rules of good engineering practicerespecting the manufacturer’s indicationsby a specialised centre.

IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allowthe car on the road in the event of as-sembly of devices which imply modifica-tions to the features of the car. This mayalso cause lapse of warranty in relation tofaults caused by the change or either di-rectly or indirectly related to it.

FIAT INDIA AUTOMOBILES LTD. shallnot be liable for damage caused by the inst-insallation of accessories either not sup-plied or recommended by FIAT IN-DIA AUTOMOBILES LTD.and/or installedin compliance with the provided instruc-tions.

AT THE FILLINGSTATION

PETROL ENGINES

Use only unleaded petrol.

The petrol octane rating (RON) must notbe lower then 91.

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.

DIESEL ENGINES

For better performance use only normaldiesel (avoid premium diesel / with addi-tives) conforming with cetane number 51minimum for diesel version. If the outsidetemperature is very low, the diesel thickens due to the formation of paraffin clotsand could clog the diesel fuel filter.

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

If you accidentally introduc-e other types of fuel in thetank, do not start the engine

and empty the tank. If the engine hasrun also for a very short time, you willneed to have the entire fuel feed sys-tem emptied in addition to the tank.

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 82

To carry out fuelling, operate lever A-fig.83/84 to release the flap A and unscrewcap B; the cap is fitted with a special deviceC which fastens it to the lid so it cannotbe mislaid.

In some versions, cap B may be providedwith a lock and key; use the ignition keyto access the flap A-fig. 82 , turn it anti-clockwise and loosen the cap itself.

The airtight closing may determine a slightincrease of pressure in the tank. A suctionnoise when you release the cap is there-fore entirely normal.

PROTECTING THEENVIRONMENT

The devices for curtailing petrol engineemissions are the following:

three-way catalytic converter;

lambda sensors;

fuel evaporation system.

In addition,do not let the engine run, evenfor a test, with one or more spark plugsdisconnected.

The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-gine emissions are the following:

oxidising catalytic converter;

exhaust gas recirculation system(E.G.R.).

USINGTHE SEAT BELTS fig. 1

The belt should be worn keeping the cheststraight and rested against the seat back.

To fasten the seat belts, take hold thetongue A and insert it into the buckle B,until hearing the locking click.

At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for ashort stretch, then pull it out again with-out jerking.

Press button C to release the belt. Ac-company the belt while it is being re-wound to prevent twisting.

Through the reel, the belt automaticallyadapts to the body of the passenger wear-ing it, allowing freedom of movement.

The reel may lock when the car is parkedon a steep slope: this is perfectly normal.Furthermore, the reel mechanism locksthe belt if it is pulled and in the event ofsudden braking, collisions and on highspeed bends.

The rear seat is fitted with inertial seatbelts with three anchor points and reel.

IMPORTANT Make sure the backrest iscorrectly fastened when returning it to theposition of normal use after folding it.

S.B.R. SYSTEM

The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system(Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of abuzzer which, together with the turningon of warning light on the instrumentpanel, warns the driver to fasten the seatbelt.

The buzzer can be deactivated (until thenext engine stop) as follows:

fasten the driver’s seat belt;

turn the ignition key to MAR;

wait for over 20 seconds and then re-lease one of the seat belts.

For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat-Tata Dealership.

With digital display, the S.B.R. system canonly be reset at Fiat-Tata Dealership.

Remember that in the eventof a violent collision, back

seat passengers not wearing seat beltsalso represent a serious danger forthe front seat passengers.

WARNING

Make sure the backrest isproperly secured at both

sides to prevent it moves forward inthe event of sharp braking causing in-juries to passengers.

WARNING�

PRETENSIONERS

To increase the efficiency of the seat belts,the car is fitted with pretensioners. Thesedevices, in the event of a violent crash,rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.In this way they ensure that the seat beltadheres perfectly to the wearer before therestraining action begins.

The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-vice has intervened; the seat belt cannotbe drawn back up even when guiding itmanually.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-gree of protection from the action of thepretensioner, wear the seat belt keepingit firmly close to the chest and pelvis.

A slight amount of smoke may be detect-ed during operation of the pretensioners.This smoke is not harmful and does notindicate a fire.

The pretensioner does not require anymaintenance or greasing.

Anything that modifies its original condi-tions invalidates its efficiency.

If due to unusual natural events (floods,seas storm, etc.) the device has been af-fected by water and mud, it must neces-sarily be replaced.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase passenger’s safety, the frontseat belt reels contain a load limiter whichallows controlled sag in such a way as todose the force acting on the chest andshoulders during the belt restraining ac-tion in case of front crash.

The pretensioner can onlybe used once. Go to a Fiat

Tata Dealership to have it replacedafter is has been deployed. The exp-irationdate is shown on the label inthe oddment compartment: go toa Fiat-Tata Dealership to have thedevice replaced when the expiration d-ate 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-Tata Dealership forany assistance.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FORUSINGTHE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respectingand ensuring that all the other occupantsof the car also respect the local laws inforce in relation to the use of seat belts.Always fasten the seat belts before start-ing off.

Seat belts must also be used by pregnantwomen: risk will be significantly reducedfor both the expectant mother and thechild in the event of an accident.

Of course they must position the lowerpart of the belt very low down so that itpasses under the abdomen, see fig. 4 .


The belt must not be twist-ed. The upper part must

cross the shoulder and the chest di-agonally. The lower part must adhereto the hips fig.4 not to the abdomen.Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to holdthe seat belt away from your body.

For maximum safety, keepthe back of your seat up-

right, lean back into it and make surethe seat belt fits closely across yourchest and hips.Always fasten the seatbelts on both the front and the rearseats. Travelling without seat beltswill increase the risk of severe injuryand even death in the event of an ac-cident.

WARNING

Never disassemble or tamperwith the seat belt or preten-

sioner components. All interventionsmust be performed by qualified andauthorised personnel only. Always goto a Fiat-Tata Dealership

WARNING

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

ample after and 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

Each seat belt may only beused by one person at a

time: do not carry children on yourlap with one seat belt protectingboth. In general,do not place any ob-jects between the person and belt.

HOWTO KEEPTHE 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;

replace the belt after an accident of acertain severity even if it does not ap-pear damaged. Always replace the beltif the pretensioners where deployed.

to clean the belt,wash by hand with wa-ter and mild soap, rinse and leave to dryin the shade. Do not use strong deter-gents, bleach, paints or any other sub-stance which could damage the belt fi-bres;

keep the reels dry: correct operationmay only be ensured if the reels are dry;

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

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.

A child’s head is larger and heavier in pro-portion to its body and the child’s muscu-lar and bone structures are not fully de-veloped. For this reason, they require re-straint systems which are different fromthose used by adults to protect them in theevent of an accident. The research resultsin relation to the best protection for chil-dren is illustrated in European RegulationEEC-R44 which divides the restraint sys-tems into five groups in addition to mak-ing their use compulsory:

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.

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’s air bag is deactivat-ed always check the amber warning lighton the cluster to make sure that it has ac-tually been deactivated.

3) Carefully follow the instructions sup-plied with the child restraint system whichare mandatory by law. Keep the instruc-tions in the car along with the other pa-pers and this handbook. Do not use childseats without 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) Never carry children on your lap, evennewborns. No-one, however strong, canhold a child in the case of an accident.

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

Do not place a cradle seatfacing backwards on the

front seat if the passenger side airbagis on.Deployment of the airbag in anaccident could cause fatal injuries tothe baby regardless of the severity ofthe collision. It is advisable to carrychildren in an appropriate restraintsystem on the rear seat which is themost protected position in the eventof an accident.

FRONT AIRBAGS

The car is provided with front airbags forthe driver and the passenger.

The front driver / passenger air bags havebeen designed to protect the occupants inthe event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing the cushion be-tween the occupant and the steeringwheel 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.

An electronic control unit will make thebag inflate in the event of a frontal crash.The bag will inflate instantaneously placingitself between the front occupant’s bodyand the structures which could cause in-jury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.

Driver and passenger front airbags are nota replacement of but complementary tothe belts, which you are recommended toalways wear, as specified by law in Europeand most non-European countries.

The volume of front air bags at max. in-flation fills most of the space between thesteering wheel and the driver and betweenthe dashboard and the passenger.

(where provided)

88

fig. 11 F0R0099m

The airbags are not deployed in the eventof collisions of low severity (for which thewithholding action of the seat belts is suf-ficient). For this reason, the seat belt mustbe worn at all times. In the case of sidecollisions, the seat belts hold occupants inthe correct position and prevent beingthrown out of the car by a very violentcollision.

DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 11

It consists of an instant-inflating cushioncontained in a special recess in the cen-tre of the steering wheel.

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

wheel,passenger side airbag cover orside upholstery on roof.Do not placeobjects on the passenger side dash-board because these could interferewith the correct opening of the airbag(e.g.mobile phones) and cause severeinjury to occupants.

WARNINGIn the event of a collision, a person notwearing a seat belt may be thrown for-ward and con into contact with the bagbefore it has fully opened.The protectionoffered by the cushion is reduced in sucha case.

Front air bag may not be activated in thefollowing situations:

in collisions against highly deformableobjects not affecting the car front sur-face (e.g. bumper collision against guardrail, etc.);

jamming of the car underneath othervehicles or protective barriers (e.g. un-derneath a truck or a guard rail); in thiscase, the bags would offer no addition-al protection with respect to the seatbelt and their deployment is unneces-sary. No deployment in such cases isconsequently not the sign of a fault.

IMPORTANT The front air bags may bedeployed if the car is subject to heavy kno-cks or accidents involving the underbodyarea, such as for example violent shocks,against steps, kerbs of low obstacles, fall-ing of the car in big holes or sags in theroad.

IMPORTANT A small amount of dust willbe released when the airbags are de-ployed.The dust is not harmful and doesnot indicate the beginning of a fire. Fur-thermore, the surface of the deployed bagand the interior of the car may be coveredin a dusty residue: this dust may irritatethe skin and the eyes. Wash with mildsoap and water in the event of exposure.

The expiration date of the explosivecharge and the clock wire are shown on aspecific label contained in the oddmentcompartment. Go to a Fiat-Tata Deale-rship to have the devices replaced whenthe expiration date approaches.

IMPORTANT Should an accident occur inwhich any of the safety devices is activat-ed, take the car to a Fiat-Tata Dealersh-ip to have the devices activated replacedand to have the system checked.

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

If you are having the car scrapped, havethe air bag system deactivated at a Fiat-Tata Dealership first. If the car changesownership, the new owner must be info-rmed of the method of use of air bagsand the above warnings and also be gi-ven this “Owner’s Handbook”.

IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbagsare deployed according to different logicson the basic of the type of collision. Nondeployment of one of the devices doesnot therefore indicate a system fault.

Never rest head, arms andelbows on the door, on the

windows area to prevent possible in-juries during inflation phase.

WARNING

Never lean head, arms andelbows out of window.

WARNING

GENERAL WARNINGS

If when turning the key toMAR the warning light

does not turn on or if it stays on whentravelling (together with the messageon the multifunctional display,whereprovided) there could be a failure insafety systems; in this event air bagsor pretensioners could not trigger incase of impact or, in a minor numberof cases, they could trigger acciden-tally. Contact Fiat-Tata Dealership im-mediately to have the system checked.

WARNING

Do not cover the backrest offront and rear seats with

trims or covers that are not suitableto be used with side bags.

WARNING

Never travel with objects onyour lap, in front of your

chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-tween your lips; injury may result inthe event of the air bag being trig-gered.

Always drive holding yourhands on the steering wheel

rim so that the airbag can inflatefreely in the case of need.Do not dri-ve with your body bent forward.Keepyour back straight against the backrest.

WARNING

Airbags may be deployed ifanother vehicle crashes if the

key is inserted and at MAR also if theengine is not running and the car isstationary. For this reason, childrenmust never sit on the front seat, evenif the car is not moving. On the oth-er hand, if the key is inserted and atSTOP, none of the safety devices(airbag or pretensioners) will be de-ployed in a collision.Non deploymentof the devices in this case does not in-dicate a system fault.

WARNING

Do not wash the seats withpressurised water or steam

(by hand or in automatic seat wash-ing stations).

WARNING

The airbag deploymentthreshold is higher than that

of the pretensioners. For collisions inthe range between the two thresh-olds, it is normal for only the preten-sioners to be activated.

WARNING

Do not hook rigid objects tothe coat hooks and to the

support handles.

WARNING

Airbags do not replace seatbelts but increase their effi-

ciency. Furthermore, since frontairbags are not deployed in low speedcollisions, side collisions, rear-endshunts or roll-overs, the occupants areonly protected by the seat belts whichmust be fastened at all times.

WARNING

When the key is turned toMAR warning light (with

passenger front airbag activate) willblink for a few seconds to remind youthat the airbag will be deployed in theevent of a collision after which itshould go out.

WARNING

Have the airbag systemchecked by a Fiat-Tata Deal-

ership if the car was stolen, if theftwas attempted, or if the car was su-bjected to vandalism or flooding.

ENGINE STARTING

The car is provided with an electronic en-gine lock device: refer to“The Fiat CODEsystem” paragraph in “Dashboard andcontrols” if you cannot start the engine.

The engine may be noisier during the firstseconds of operation, particularly after along period of inactivity. This is charac-teristic of hydraulic tappets, the timing sys-tem chosen to reduce the number of ser-vicing interventions and does effects nei-ther functionality nor reliability.

It is advisable not to demandmaximum performance fromyour car (e.g.excessive accel-erations, long distances at top

rpm,excessive intense braking,etc.) assoon as the engine is started.

Do not leave the key in the ig-nition switch with the engineoff to avoid unnecessary con-sumption of electricity which

could drain the battery. It is dangerousto run the engine in closed environ-ments.

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

Remember that the brakebooster 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

STARTING PROCEDURE FORPETROLVERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

ensure that the handbrake is up;

put the gear lever into 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.

STARTING PROCEDURE FORDIESELVERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

ensure that the handbrake is up;

put the gear lever into neutral;

turn the ignition key to MAR ; instru-ment panel warning lights andwill light up;

wait for the warning light e toturn off. The hotter the engine is, thequicker this will happen;

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

turn the ignition key to AVV as soonas warning light goes out. Waitingtoo long will waste the work done bythe glow plugs.Release the key as soonas 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 , theinstrument panel warning light re-mains lit together with warning lightturn the key to STOP and then back toMAR ; if the warning lights remain on, trywith the other keys provided with the car.

IMPORTANT If the instrument panelwarning light stays on glowingsteadily, contact immediately Fiat-TataDealership.

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

Warning light will blinkfor 60 seconds after startingor during prolonged crankingto indicate a fault to the glow

plug heating system. Use the car nor-mally if the engine starts and go to aFiat-Tata Dealership as soon as possible.

STOPPINGTHE 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.

A quick burst on the acceler-ator before turning off the en-gine serves absolutely nopractical purpose, it wastes

fuel and is damaging especially to tur-bocharged engines.

HOWTO WARM UPTHEENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUSTSTARTED(petrol and diesel engines)

Proceed as follows:

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

do not demand too high performancefor the first few kilometres. Wait untilthe engine coolant gauge starts moving.

Remember that the brakebooster and power steeringare not operational until theengine has been star ted,

therefore much effort than usual is re-quired on the brake pedal and steeringwheel.

Never jump start the engineby pushing, towing or drivingdownhill. This could cause aflow of fuel into the catalyt-

ic converter and damage it beyond re-pair.

HANDBRAKE fig. 1

The handbrake lever is located betweenthe two front seats.

Pull the lever upwards to operate thehandbrake. Four or five notches are nor-mally sufficient to lock the car on flat ter-rain, while nine or ten may be necessaryon a steep slope with the car loaded.

IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-tact Fiat-Tata Dealership to have the hand-brake adjusted.

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

PARKING THE CAR

Proceed as follows:

stop the engine and engage the hand-brake;

engage a gear (on a slope, engage firstgear if the car is faced uphill or reverseif it is faced downhill) and leave thewheels steered.

If the car is parked on a steep slope, it isfurther advisable to block the wheels witha wedge or stone. Do not leave the key inthe ignition switch to prevent draining thebattery.Always remove the key when youleave the car.

Never leave children unat-tended in the car.Always re-

move the ignition key when leavingthe car and take it out with you.

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 climate control system requires high-er fuel consumption (up to +20% in av-erage): use the air vents when the exter-nal temperature allows to.

Spoilers

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

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine up with the carstanding: the engine warms up very slow-ly in these conditions, increasing con-sumption and emissions. It is advisable tostart off immediately and slowly keepingthe engine speed down: the engine willwarm up much faster this way.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid revving up when starting at trafficlights or before stopping the engine.Thelatter action, like doubling the clutch, is un-necessary and causes increase of con-sumption and pollution.

Gear selection

Use a higher gear as soon as traffic androad conditions allow. Using a low gearfor faster acceleration will increase con-sumption.

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

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 tyre pressure regularly at leastonce every four weeks: excessively lowpressure will increase consumption be-cause rolling resistance will be higher.

Unnecessary loads

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.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Short distances and frequent cold start-upswill prevent the engine from reaching op-timal running temperature. Consequently,both consumption (from +15 to +30% onurban cycle ) and emissions will increase.

Traffic androad conditions

Rather high consumption is caused byheavy traffic, for instance when travellingin a queue with frequent use of low gearsor in cities with many traffic lights. Moun-tain and rough roads also have a negativeeffect on consumption.

Traffic hold-ups

During prolonged hold-ups (level crossings)the engine should be switched off.

Top speed

Fuel consumption considerably increasesas speed increases. Keep your speed aseven as possible, avoiding unnecessarybraking and acceleration which cause ex-cessive fuel consumption and increaseemissions.

Acceleration

Sudden acceleration has a very negativeeffect on consumptions and emissions: ac-celerate gradually and do not go over themaximum torque ratio.

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 negative battery termi-nal and check battery charge (see para-graph “Charge level check” in chapter“Maintenance and care”). Repeat thischeck once every three months dur-ing storage.Recharge the battery if nec-essary (see paragraph “If the battery isflat” in chapter “In an emergency”);

�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 fabric or perfo-rated plastic terrapin.Do not use com-pact plastic sheets which do not allowhumidity to evaporate from the surfaceof the car;

�inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the nor-mal specified pressure and check it atintervals;

�if you don’t disconnect the battery fromthe electric system, check its chargeevery month (see paragraph “Chargelevel check” in chapter “Maintenanceand care”);

�recharge the battery if necessary (seeparagraph“If the battery is flat” in chap-ter “In an emergency”);

�do not drain the engine cooling system.

STARTING THE ENGINE

EMERGENCY START-UP

Go to a Fiat-Tata Dealership immediatelyif instrument panel warning light comeson steady.

JUMP STARTING fig. 1

If the battery is flat, the engine may bestarted using an auxiliary battery with thesame capacity or a little higher than theflat one.

Proceed as follows to start the engine:

�connect positive terminals (+ near theterminal) of the two batteries with ajump lead;

�with a second lead, connect the nega-tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary batteryto an earthing point on the engine orthe gearbox of the car to be started;

�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-Tata Dealership.

This procedure must be per-formed by expert personnel

because incorrect actions may causeelectrical discharge of considerable in-tensity. Furthermore, battery fluid ispoisonous and corrosive:avoid contactwith your skin and eyes. Keep nakedflames away from the battery. Nosmoking. Do not cause sparks.

IMPORTANT Never connect the negativeterminals of the two batteries directly:sparks could ignite explosive gas releasedfrom the battery. If the auxiliary battery isinstalled on another car, prevent acciden-tal contact between metallic parts of thetwo cars.

JUMP STARTING

Never jump start the engine by pushing,towing or driving downhill. This couldcause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-verter and damage it beyond repair.

IMPORTANT Remember that the brakebooster and the power steering systemare not operating until the engine is start-ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-quired to press the brake pedal or turnthe steering wheel.

REPLACING A WHEEL

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Wheel changing and correct use of thejack and spare wheel call for some pre-cautions as listed below.

Indicate that the car is sta-tionary according to the laws

in force: hazard lights, triangle, etc.Passengers should leave the car, par-ticularly if it is very loaded and waitfor the wheel to be changed awayfrom on-coming traffic. Apply thehandbrake.

WHEN NEEDING TOCHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

�When a bulb is not working, check thatthe corresponding fuse is intact beforereplacing it: refer to the “If a fuseblows” paragraph in this chapter forfuse location.

�before changing a bulb check the con-tacts for oxidation;

�burnt bulbs must be replaced by othersof the same type and power;

�always check the height of the headlightbeam after changing a bulb, for reasonsof safety.

IMPORTANTA slight misting may appearon the internal surface of the headlight:this does not indicate a fault and is causedby low temperature and the degree of hu-midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-appear when the headlights are switchedon. The presence of drop inside the head-lights indicates infiltration of water. Go toa Fiat-Tata Dealership.

TYPES OF BULBS

Various types of bulbs are fitted to your car:

A All glass bulb: clipped into place. Pullto extract.

B Bayonet bulbs: to remove this typeof bulb from its holder, press thebulb and turn it anticlockwise.

C Cylindrical bulbs: release from thecontacts to extract.

D-E Halogen bulbs: release the fasteningclip from the corresponding seat toremove the lamp.

Halogen lamps must be han-dled holding the metallic partonly. Touching the transparentpart of the bulb with your fin-

gers may reduce the intensity of theemitted light and even compromise du-ration of the lamp itself. In the case ofaccidental contact, rub the lamp with acloth and spirit and leave to dry.

Modifications or repairs tothe electrical system (elec-

tronic control units) that are not car-ried out properly or do not take thetechnical specifications of the systeminto account can cause malfunctionsleading to the risk of fire.

WARNING

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

may cause small fragments of glass tobe projected outwards.

IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL

The fuse is a protective device for theelectric system: it comes into action (i.e.it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-proper action on the system.

Check the efficiency of the correspondingfuse when a device does not work: theconducting element A-fig.27 must not beinterrupted. If it is, replace the blown fusewith another with the same amperage(same colour).

B undamaged fuse

C fuse with damaged filament.

fig. 27 F0R0122m

Never replace a fuse withanother of higher amperage:

FIRE RISK.

WARNING

Never replace a blown fusewith metallic wires or othermaterial.

Go to a Fiat-Tata Dealershipif a general protection

fuse blows (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE).

WARNING

If a fuse blows again,contacta Fiat-Tata Dealership.

WARNING

Remove the key from the ig-nition switch and switch off

IMPORTANT Scheduled service couponsare required by the manufacturer.Defaultmay cancel the warranty.

Scheduled Servicing is performed by allFiat-Tata Dealership, at pre-establishedtimes.

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-Tata Dealership in the event of anyminor operating faults, without waitingfor the next 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 planned a series ofchecks and maintenance operations every15,000 km.

Scheduled servicing will not however ful-ly cover all of the need of your car: It ishowever important to remember thatscheduled servicing does not completelycover all the car’s requirements: also inthe initial period before 15,000 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.

If the oil level is near or even under theMIN line, add oil through the filler A toreach the MAX line.

Oil level shall never exceed the MAX line.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

The maximum engine oil consumption isusually 400 grams every 1,000 km.

When the car is new, the engine needsto run in, therefore the engine oil con-sumptioncanonly be considered stabilisedafter the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.

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

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 fig. 3-4

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

The oil level shall be included between theMIN and MAX marks on the dipstick B.

The range between the MINand MAXlevels corresponds to approximatelyone litre of oil.

fig. 3 - 1.4 version F0R0134m fig. 4 - 1.3 Multijet version F0R0135m

Proceed very carefully insidethe engine compartment

when the engine is hot: risk of burns.Remember that the fan may start upif the engine is hot: risk of injury. Payattention to scarves, ties and otherloose fitting garments: they could getdragged by the moving parts.

The coolant level must be checked whenthe engine is cold and must be betweenthe MIN and MAX lines on the vessel.

fig. 5 F0R0136m fig. 6

PARAFLU UP antifreeze isused in the engine cooling sys-tem. Use fluid of the sametype contained in the cooling

system for top-ups. PARAFLU UP maynot be mixed with other types of fluids.If this accidentally occurs, do not startthe engine and contact a Fiat-Tata De-alership.

The cooling system is pres-surised. If required, replace

the cap with an original spare part soas not to compromise system effi-ciency. Do not remove the cap fromthe vessel when the engine is hot: riskof burns.

WARNING

F0R0137m

If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of40% PARAFLU UP & 60% deminerali-zed water through filler A of the vessel un-til the level approaches the MAX line.

Waste engine oil and oil filterscontains substances which aredangerous for the environ-ment. It is advisable to have

oil and filters changed by a Fiat-TataDealership where they will be dispos-ed of according to the law.

Always top up using engine oilof the same types as that al-ready in the engine.

When opening the cap, make sure that nodirt gets into the reservoir.

For topping up always use a funnel withbuilt in filter (mesh smaller than or equalto 0.12 mm).

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”.

fig. 7 F0R0138m

Do not travel with the wind-screen washing reservoir

empty: the windscreen washer is fun-damental to improve visibility.

WARNING

Some commercial wind-screen washer additives are

flammable.The engine compartmentcontains hot parts which could starta fire if they come into contact.

WARNING

Prevent brake fluid which ishighly corrosive from cominginto contact with paintedparts. Wash with water im-

mediately if this should happen.

Brake fluid is poisonous andhighly corrosive. In the case

of accidental contact,wash the partswith water and mild soap and rinsewith plenty of water. Call a doctorimmediately if swallowed.

WARNING

Symbol on the contain in-dicates a synthetic brake flu-

id, which is different from a mineralfluid. Use of a mineral type fluid willdamage the special rubber seals ofthe braking system beyond repair.

WARNINGBRAKE FLUID fig. 7

Release cap A: check that the liquid con-tained in the tank is at the maximum level.

IMPORTANT Check the battery chargeonce a year, preferably before the begin-ning to winter, to prevent freezing of theelectrolyte. Perform this inspection morefrequently if the car is mainly used forshort distances or if electrical devices run-ning with the key off are installed, partic-ularly after-market.

CHANGINGTHE 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 apply.

Follow the battery manufacturer’s in-structions for maintenance.

Incorrect assembly of electricand electronic devices maycause severe damage to yourcar.Go to a Fiat-Tata Dealers-

hip if you want to install accessories (al-arms, mobile phone, etc.): they will su-ggest the most suitable devices andadvise you if a higher capacity batteryneeds to be installed.

Batteries contain very dan-gerous substances for the en-vironment. You are recom-mended to go to a Fiat-Tata

Dealership to have the battery rep-laced where the old battery will be dis-posed of respecting both the environm-ent and the laws in force.

If the car is left for long peri-ods in very cold environ-

ments, remove the battery and store itin a warm place to prevent freezing.

WARNING

Battery liquid is poisonousand corrosive.Avoid contact

with the skin and eyes. Keep nakedflames and sources of sparks awayfrom the battery: risk of fire and ex-plosion.

WARNING

Running the battery with anexcessively low liquid level

will damage the battery beyond re-pair and even cause an explosion.

40 Ah 24 mA

50 Ah 30 mA

60 Ah 36 mA

If after buying the car, you want to installelectric accessories which require per-manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-tact Fiat-Tata Dealership whose qualifiedpersonnel, 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.

Since these devices continue absorbing en-ergy even when the ignition key is off, theygradually run down the battery.

USEFUL ADVICE FORLENGTHENINGTHE LIFE OFYOUR 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;

�switch off all lights inside the car: thecar is however equipped with a systemwhich switches all internal lights off au-tomatically;

�do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-tem,hazard lights, etc.) switched on fora long time when the engine is not run-ning;

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

�make sure that battery terminals are al-ways be perfectly tight.

Always wear the proper pro-tective eyewear when work-

ing on the battery or near it.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-ing the spare, approximately once everytwo weeks and before starting a long jour-ney: this check must be performed withthe tyre rested and cold.

It is normal for pressure to increase whenthe car is used. For the correct tyre in-flation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Tech-nical specifications” section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyrewear fig. 9 :

A normal pressure: evenly worn tread.

B low pressure: tread particularly wornon the edges.

C excessive pressure: tread particularlyworn in the middle.

The tyres must be replaced when thetread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all cas-es, follow the laws in force in the coun-try where you are driving.

fig. 9 F0R0141m

IMPORTANT NOTES

�Avoid braking suddenly, burning startsand violent knocks against the curb,potholes or other obstacles if possible.Long distances on rough roads maydamage the tyres;

check the tyres regularly for cuts on thesides, swelling or irregular tread wear.Go to a Fiat-Tata Dealership if required.

�

�

do not over load your car: this maycause serious damage to wheels andtyres;

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

�a tyre will age even if it is not usedmuch. Cracks in the tread and on thesidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have thetyres checked by specialised personnelif they have been fitted for longer than6 years. Remember to check the sparewheel very carefully;

�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 15 thousand kilome-tres, keeping them on the same side ofthe car so as not to reverse the dire-ction of rotation.

Remember that the roadholding qualities of your car

also depends on the correct inflationpressure of the tyres.

WINDSCREEN WIPER

BLADES

Periodically clean the rubber part withsuitable products.

Replace the blades if the rubber edge isdeformed or worn. In all cases, it is ad-visable to replace them approximatelyonce a year.

A few simple precautions can reduce thepossibility of damage to the blades:

�make sure that the rubber part is notstuck to the windscreen at sub-zerotemperatures. Use an antifreeze prod-uct to release it if required.

�remove the snow from the window:this will avoid overstressing the elec-trical motor in addition to protectingthe blades;

�do not operate the windscreen wiperson dry glass.

Driving with worn wiperblades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in badweather.

WARNING

RUBBER HOSES

Carefully follow the information containedin the “Service schedule” in this sectionfor maintenance of brake system and fuelfeed rubber hoses.

Ozone, high temperatures and prolongedlack of fluid in the system may cause hard-ening and cracking of the hoses,with pos-sible leaks. Careful inspections are there-fore necessary.

Excessively low pressure willcause overheating of the

tyre and may cause severe tyre dam-age.

WARNING

Do not exchange the tyresfrom the left to the right of

the car and vice versa.

WARNING

Do not repaint alloy wheelrims at temperatures higher

than 150°C.The mechanical featuresof the wheels could be compromised.

BODY AND UNDERBODYWARRANTY

Your car is covered by warranty againstperforation due to rust of any original el-ement of the structure or body.

For the general terms of this warranty, re-fer to Fiat Warranty Booklet.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVINGTHE BODYWORK

Paint

Paintwork does not only serve an aes-thetic purpose, but also protects the un-derlying sheet metal.

Touch up abrasions and scratches immedi-ately to prevent the formation of rust.On-ly use genuine spare paint products fortouch-ups.

BODYWORK

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 car, Fiat implemented the bestmanufacturing technologies to effectivelyprotect the bodywork against corrosion.

These are the most important:

�paint products and systems which givethe car particular resistance to corro-sion and abrasion;

�use of galvanised (or pre-treated) 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 materials for pro-tective purposes in the most exposedpoints: under the doors, inside themudguard, along the edges, etc.

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

Normal maintenance of paintwork consistsin washing the car: the frequency dependson the conditions and environment wherethe car is used. For example, it is advisableto wash the car more often in areas witha high environmental pollution or on roadssprinkled with salt.

To correctly wash the car:

�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.

Dry the parts less in sight particularly care-fully, such as the door frames and theheadlight frames, where water may stag-nate more easily. It is a good idea to leavethe car in the open for a while after wash-ing it to give time for the water to evap-orate.

Do not wash the car after it has beenparked in the sun or when the engine isbonnet is hot: this could take the shine offthe paint.

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.

Detergents cause water pollu-tion.The car should be washedin areas equipped for collect-ing and purifying the liquid

used in the washing process.

Windows

Use specific window cleaner products.

Use also clean cloths to avoid scratchingthe glass or damaging the transparency.

IMPORTANTThe inside of the rear win-dow should be wiped gently with a clothin the direction of the filaments to avoiddamaging the heating device.

Engine compartment

Wash the engine compartment carefullyafter the end of the winter.Be careful notto direct the jet of water onto electroniccontrol units.Adequately protect the up-per air vents to prevent damage to thewindscreen wiper motor. Have this op-eration performed at a specialised work-shop.

IMPORTANT Perform this operation ona cold engine and with the key at STOP.After the washing operation, make surethat the various protections (e.g. rubbercaps and guards) have not removed ordamaged.

Front headlights

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

The fabric upholstery of yourcar is designed to withstandthe normal wear and tear ofyour car for a long time.Some

precautions are however needed.Avoidprolonged rubbing against clothing ac-cessories, such as metal buckles,Velcrostrips and the like, which by applying ahigh pressure on the fabric in a smallarea could cause the breakage of somethreads and damage the upholstery.

CLEANING SEATS AND FABRICPARTS

Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-um cleaner. It is advisable to use a moistbrush on velvet upholstery.

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

Never use flammable prod-ucts, such as petrol ether or

rectified petrol to clean inside the car.The electrostatic charges which aregenerated by rubbing during thecleaning operation may cause a fire.

WARNING

Do not keep aerosol cans inthe car : risk of explosi on.

Aerosol cans must not be exposed totemperatures higher than 50°C.Thetemperature may raise well beyondthat figure when the car is left in thesun.

WARNINGINTERIORS

Periodically check that water is nottrapped under the mats (due to waterdripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) whichcould cause oxidisation of the sheetmetal.
