S SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attachednear or actually on some of the compo-nents of your Fiat Punto. These labels bearsymbols that remind you of the precau-tions to be taken as regards that particu-lar component.

The plate summarising the symbols usedcan be found under the bonnet fig. 2.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine locking sys-tem which increases protection againstan attempted theft of the car. It is auto-matically activated when the ignition keyis extracted.

Each key contains an electronic devicewhich modulates the signal emitted dur-ing ignition by an antenna built into theignition device. This signal is the ‘pass-word’ which changes at each ignition andwhich the control unit uses to recognisethe key and enable ignition.

Warning light Y coming on when driving

❒ If the warning light Y turns on, thismeans that the system is running a self-test (for example for a voltage drop).

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

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

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started turning theignition 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 control unit.

If the code has not been recognised cor-rectly, the warning light Y turns on ac-companied by the related message on thedisplay.

S IGNITION

The key can be turned to 3 different po-sitions fig. 9:

❒ STOP: engine off, key can be extract-ed, steering locked. Some electrical de-vices (e.g. sound system, central doorlocking system, etc.) can function.

❒ MAR: driving position. All electricaldevices can function.

❒ AVV: engine starting (temporary posi-tion).

The ignition device is fitted with an elec-tronic safety system that, in the event theengine fails to start, turns back the ignitionkey to STOP before repeating the start-ing operation.

STEERING LOCK

Engagement

When the key is in position STOP, re-move it and turn the steering wheel untilit locks.

Disengagement

Rock the steering wheel slightly as youturn the key to MAR.

If the ignition device hasbeen tampered with (e.g. an

attempted theft), have it checkedover by a Fiat Dealership as soon aspossible.

WARNING

vent someone from accidentally op-erating the controls. Remember toengage the handbrake. Engage firstgear if the car is parked uphill or re-verse if the car is parked downhill.Never leave children unattended inthe car.

WARNING

fig. 9 F0M0015m

Never extract the key whilethe vehicle is moving. The

steering wheel would lock automati-cally as soon as it is turned. This alsoapplies to when the car is towed.

WARNING

It is absolutely forbidden tocarry out any after-market

operation involving steering system orsteering column modifications (e.g. in-stallation of anti-theft device) thatcould badly affect performance andsafety, invalidate the warranty andalso result in the car not complyingwith regulations.

REV COUNTER fig. 13

The rev counter shows the number of en-gine revolutions per minute.

IMPORTANT The electronic injectioncontrol system gradually shuts off the flowof fuel when the engine is over-revving, re-sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.

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

This is normal and does not indicate a fault.It may be caused, for example, by the op-eration of the climate control system orfan. In these cases, a slow change in revsis used to protect the battery charge.

SFollowing the locking of the doors using:

❒ remote control;

❒ door catch;

it will not be possible to unlock them bypressing button A-fig. 72 located on thedashboard.

IMPORTANT With central locking on,pulling the internal handle of one of thefront doors will unlock that door. Indi-vidual doors can be unlocked by pullingthe internal handle of one of the reardoors.

If a power supply is not present (blownfuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is, how-ever, possible to lock the doors manually.

After exceeding a speed of 20 km/h, alldoors will be centrally locked automati-cally if the setup menu function has beenselected (see paragraph “Multifunction dis-play” in this section). Once the dead lock system is

engaged, it is impossible toopen the doors from inside the vehi-cle. Before getting out of the car,please therefore check that there isno-one left on board. If the remotecontrol battery is flat, the system canbe disengaged only by inserting thekey in either of the door locks as de-scribed previously: in this case the de-vice remains active only for the reardoors.

DEAD LOCK (for versions/markets, where provided)This safety device inhibits the operation of:

❒ interior handles;

❒ locking/unlocking button A-fig. 72;thereby preventing the opening of thedoors from inside the passenger com-partment if there has been a break-in at-tempt (e.g. a window has been broken).The dead lock device therefore offers thebest possible protection against break-inattempts. We recommend engaging itwhenever the vehicle is parked and left un-attended.

Device activation

The dead lock device is automatically ac-tivated on every door by briefly pressingthe remote control button Á fig. 70 twice.

Device activation is indicated by 3 flashesof the direction indicators and a flash ofthe LED on button A-fig. 72 on the dash-board.

If one or more of the doors is not closedcorrectly, the dead lock device will not ac-tivate, thus preventing a person from get-ting stuck inside the passenger compart-ment by entering the car through, andthen closing, the open door.

Device deactivation

The system is disabled automatically onevery door in the following cases:

❒ when opening the driver’s door usingthe key without remote control;

❒ when unlocking doors using the remotecontrol;

❒ when turning the ignition key to MAR.

S ABS SYSTEM

If you have never driven a vehicle withABS before, it is advisable to performa few tests on slippery ground, naturally inconditions of safety and respecting thehighway code of the country where youare driving. Read the following informa-tion carefully.

ABS is an integral part of the braking sys-tem which prevents, whatever the roadconditions and force applied to the brakepedal, the wheels from locking and con-sequently sliding under braking, thus en-suring that the vehicle remains under con-trol even during emergency braking.

The system is completed by EBD (Elec-tronic Brakeforce Distribution), which dis-tributes the braking action between frontand rear wheels.

IMPORTANT For the maximum efficien-cy of the braking system, a bedding-in pe-riod of about 500 km is needed (for a newvehicle or after having replaced the brakepads/discs): during this period it is betterto avoid sharp, repeated and prolongedbraking.

The ABS gets the most fromthe available grip, but it can-

not improve it; you should thereforetake every care when driving on slip-pery surfaces and not take unneces-sary risks.

WARNING

SYSTEM INTERVENTION

The driver can tell the ABS system hasbeen activated because the brake pedalpulsates slightly and the system gets nois-ier: this means that the car speed shouldbe altered to fit the type of road surface.

If the ABS cuts in, it is a signthat the grip between tyre

and the road surface has reached thelimit: you must slow down to matchthe speed to the road grip available.

WARNING

FAILURE INDICATIONS

ABS failure

This is indicated by the > warning lighton the instrument panel together with thededicated message on the multifunctiondisplay (for versions/markets, where pro-vided) coming on (see “Warning lights andmessages” section).

In this case, the braking system will workas normal, but without the extra capacityoffered by the ABS system. Drive care-fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to havethe system checked.

SBRAKE ASSIST (integrated ESPemergency braking assistance) (for versions/markets, where provided)

This system (which is compulsory) recog-nises emergency braking according to thespeed of operation of the brake pedal andprovides additional hydraulic braking pres-sure to support that applied by the driver.This allows faster and more powerful op-eration of the braking system.

The Brake Assist is deactivated on ver-sions equipped with ESP, in the event ofan ESP system failure (indicated by warn-ing light á switching on together with themessage in the multifunctional display, forversions/markets, where provided).

ESP SYSTEM (ElectronicStability Program) (for versions/markets, where provided)

This is an electronic system that controlscar stability in the event of tyre grip loss,helping to maintain directional control.

The ESP system is therefore particularlyuseful when road surface grip changes.

In addition to the ESP system, ASR systemand Hill Holder, the MSR system (adjustingthe engine braking torque) and the HBAsystem (improving the braking force dur-ing emergency braking) are also provided(for versions/markets, where provided).

SYSTEM INTERVENTION

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

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

sating, do not remove your foot, butkeep the pedal pushed down; in do-ing so you, will stop in the shortestdistance possible under the road con-ditions at the time.

WARNING

EBD failure

This is indicated by the > and x warn-ing lights on the instrument panel togeth-er with the dedicated message on the mul-tifunction display (for versions/markets,where provided) coming on (see “Warn-ing lights and messages” section).

In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-ly lock and the vehicle may swerve whenbraking sharply. Drive carefully to thenearest Fiat Dealership to have the systemchecked.

If only the x warning lighton the instrument panel

lights up (together with a message inthe multifunction display, for ver-sions/markets, where provided) stopthe vehicle immediately and contactthe nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluidleaking from the hydraulic system willcompromise the operation of thebraking system, whether it is of theconventional type or with ABS.

S SYSTEM ACTIVATION

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

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of a failure, the ESP will be au-tomatically switched off and the á warn-ing light will come on permanently on theinstrument panel along with a message onthe multifunction display (for versions/markets, where provided) (see “Warninglights and messages” section). The LED onthe ASR OFF button will also light up.Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-sible if this happens.

Do not take unnecessaryrisks, even if your vehicle is

fitted with an ESP system. Your dri-ving style must always be suited to theroad conditions, visibility and traffic.The driver is always ultimately re-sponsible for road safety.

WARNING

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM

This is an integral part of the ESP system,making hill-starts easier.

It is automatically activated in the follow-ing conditions:

❒ uphill: vehicle stationary on a road witha gradient higher than 5%, engine run-ning, brake pedal pressed and gearboxin neutral or gear other than reverse;

❒ downhill: vehicle stationary on a roadwith a gradient higher than 5%, enginerunning, brake pedal pressed and re-verse gear engaged.

At pick-up, the ESP system control unitwill maintain the braking pressure at thewheels until the necessary engine torquefor moving away is reached or, in any case,for a maximum of 2 seconds in order tomove easily from the brake pedal to theaccelerator pedal.

If the vehicle has not departed after thistime, the system will deactivate automat-ically by gradually releasing the brakeforce.

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

Failure indications

System failure is indicated by the turningon of warning light * on the instrumentpanel with digital display and warning lightá on the instrument panel with multi-function display (for versions/markets,where provided) (see section “Warninglights and messages”).

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system isnot a parking brake; therefore, never leavethe vehicle without having engaged thehandbrake, turned the engine off and se-lected first gear.

For the correct operation ofthe ESP and ASR systems,

the tyres must be the same make andtype on all wheels, in perfect condi-tion and, above all, of the type, makeand size recommended.

MSR system (engine braking regulation)

This is an integral part of the ASR systemthat, in case of sudden gear shifting, cutsin to provide torque to the engine, thuspreventing excessive driving wheel dragthat, especially in poor grip conditions, canlead to loss of stability.

Switching the system on/off fig. 97The ASR system switches on automaticallyeach time the engine is started. When travelling, the ASR can be switchedoff and on again by pressing button A lo-cated on the dashboard fig. 97.

If the system is off, the LED on the buttonlights up together with a message shownon the multifunction display (for versions/markets, where provided).If the ASR is switched off when travelling,it will turn on again automatically the nexttime the engine is started.When travelling on snowy roads withsnow chains, it may be helpful to turn theASR off: in fact, in these conditions, thedriving wheels skidding when moving offmakes it possible to get better traction.

For the correct operation ofthe ESP and ASR systems,

the tyres must be the same make andtype on all wheels, in perfect condi-tion and, above all, of the type, makeand size recommended.

ASROFF

F0M0109m

ASR SYSTEM (Anti-slip Regulator)This function controls car drive and cutsin automatically every time one or bothdriving wheels skid.

Depending on how skiddy the road is,two different control systems are acti-vated:

❒ if the skidding involves both drivewheels, the ASR function intervenesby reducing the power transmitted bythe engine;

❒ if the skidding involves only one dri-ving wheel, the ASR system cuts in byautomatically braking the wheel thatis sliding.

The ASR system is particularly helpful inthe following circumstances:

❒ skidding of the inner wheel when cor-nering due to the effect of dynamicload changes or excessive acceleration;

❒ too much power transmitted to thewheels in relation to the conditions ofthe road surface;

❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy oricy surfaces;

❒ loss of grip on a wet surface (aqua-planing).

For correct operation of the ASR system,the tyres must be of the same brand andtype on all wheels, in perfect conditionsand, above all, of the type, brand and sizerecommended.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of a failure, the ASR systemwill be automatically switched off andwarning light á will appear permanentlyon the instrument panel along with a mes-sage on the multifunction display (for ver-sions/markets, where provided) (see“Warning lights and messages”). In thiscase, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon aspossible.

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD (European On Board Diagno-sis) system allows continuous diagnosticsof the emission-related components of thecar.

It also alerts the driver, by turning on theU warning light on the instrument panel(together with a relevant message in themultifunction display, for versions/mar-kets, where provided) (see “Warninglights and messages” section), when thesecomponents are no longer in peak con-dition.

The goal of the system is to:

❒ keep the system efficiency under con-trol;

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

❒ warn of the need to replace non-per-forming components.

The system also has a connector that canbe interfaced with appropriate equipment,which makes it possible to read the er-ror codes stored in the control unit, to-gether with a series of specific parametersfor engine operation and diagnosis. Thischeck can also be carried out by traffic authorities.

IMPORTANT After resolving the prob-lem, to check the system completely, Fi-at Dealerships are obliged to run a benchtest and, if necessary, road tests whichmay call for a long journey.

If, when the ignition key isturned to the MAR position,the U warning light eitherdoes not come on or, when

driving, it comes on permanently orflashes (along with a message in themultifunction display for versions/mar -kets, where provided), contact a FiatDealership as soon as possible. Theoperation of the Uwarning light maybe checked by traffic police using ap-propriate equipment. Follow the lawsin force in the country where you aredriving.

S“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWERSTEERING SYSTEM

The car is equipped with an electricallycontrolled power steering system called“Dualdrive”, working only with the igni-tion key at MAR and the engine running,that customises steering force accordingto the driving conditions.

ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION(CITY function)

To activate/deactivate the function, pressthe button on the dashboard.

Activation is indicated by:

❒ the word CITY on the instrumentpanel (for versions with multifunctiondisplay);

❒ the word CITY lit up on the button after it has been pressed fig. 98.

When the CITY function is on, the steer-ing wheel effort is lighter, making parkingeasier: therefore, this function is particu-larly useful for driving in city centres.

For the Sport version, this function guar-antees improved driving comfort becausethe accelerator pedal is better calibratedfor gradual acceleration/deceleration.

Any failure of the electric power steeringsystem is indicated by instrument panelwarning light g coming on together witha message on the multifunction display (forversions/markets, where provided) (seesection “Warning lights and messages”).

In the event of electric power steering sys-tem failure, the car can be driven with me-chanical steering.

IMPORTANT In some circumstances, fac-tors independent of the electric powersteering could cause the g warning lightin the instrument panel to come on.

In this case, stop the car immediately,switch off the engine for about 20 secondsand then restart the car. If the warninglight g is still on, along with the messageon the multifunction display (for ver-sions/markets, where provided), contacta Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT The steering may becomestiffer during parking manoeuvres that re-quire a lot of turns of the wheel. This isnormal and is caused by the electric con-trol motor overheating protection system.No repairs are needed. The power steer-ing system will start working properlyagain the next time the car is used.


operation involving steering system orsteering column modifications (e.g. in-stallation of anti-theft device) thatcould badly affect performance andsafety, invalidate the warranty andalso result in the car failing to com-ply with regulations.

WARNING

Before servicing the car,switch off the engine and re-

move the key from the ignition to ac-tivate the steering lock. This is espe-cially important when the car wheelsare not touching the ground. If thisis not possible (for example if the keyneeds to be turned to MAR or the en-gine must be running), remove themain fuse that protects the electricpower steering.

SRADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES

Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mo-bile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.)shall not be used inside the car unlessa separate aerial is mounted on the roof.

IMPORTANT The use of these devices in-side the passenger compartment (withouta separate aerial) may cause the vehicleelectrical systems to malfunction. Thiscould compromise safety in addition toconstituting a potential hazard for pas-sengers’ health.

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

With regard to EC-approved mobilephones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), you shouldadhere strictly to the instructions provid-ed by the mobile phone’s manufacturer.

Take care when fitting addi-tional spoilers, alloy wheels

or non-standard wheel hubs: theycould reduce the ventilation of thebrakes and affect efficiency undersharp, repeated braking or on longdescents. Make sure that nothing ob-structs the pedals (mats, etc.)

WARNING INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Electrical and electronic devices installedafter buying the car in the context of af-ter-sales service must carry the followinglabel:

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installationof transceiving devices provided that theyare installed by a specialised centre ac-cording to rules of good engineering prac-tice in compliance with the manufacturer’sinstructions.

IMPORTANT Traffic police may not al-low the car on the road if devices havebeen installed which modify the featuresof the car. This may also cause invalida-tion of warranty in relation to faultscaused by the change or either directly orindirectly related to it.

Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for dam-age caused by the installation of acces-sories either not supplied or recom-mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or notinstalled in compliance with the providedinstructions.

S REFUELLING THE CAR

PETROL ENGINES

Use only unleaded petrol.

To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fu-el tank opening is too small to insert thenozzle of a leaded petrol pump. The petroloctane rating (RON) must not be lowerthan 95.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic con-verter leads to harmful exhaust emissions,thus contributing to air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,even in small amounts or in an emergency,as this would damage the catalytic con-verter beyond repair.

DIESEL ENGINES

If the outside temperature is very low, thediesel thickens due to the formation ofparaffin clots and could clog the diesel fu-el 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 refuelling with diesel fuel whose speci-fications are not suitable for the usagetemperature, it is advisable to mix in theTUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the pro-portions shown on the container. Pourthe additive into the tank before the fuel.

When using or parking the vehicle fora long time in the mountains or cold ar-eas, it is advisable to refuel using locallyavailable diesel.

In this case, it is also advisable to keep thetank over 50% full.

For diesel engines, use onlydiesel fuel for motor vehiclesin accordance with EN590European specifications. The

use of other products or mixtures maydamage the engine beyond repair andconsequently invalidate the warranty,depending on the damage caused. Ifyou accidentally introduce other typesof fuel into the tank, do not start theengine. Empty the tank. If the enginehas run, even for a very short time, youwill need to have the entire fuel systememptied in addition to the tank.

FUEL TANK CAP fig. 111

To carry out refuelling, open lid A and un-screw cap B; the cap is fitted with a de-vice C which fastens it to the lid so it can-not be mislaid.

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

The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-crease in pressure in the tank. A suctionnoise when you release the cap is there-fore entirely normal.

When refuelling, hook the cap onto thedevice inside the lid as shown in fig. 111.

fig. 111 F0M0138m

Do not place naked flamesor lit cigarettes near to the

fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep yourface away from the fuel tank open-ing to avoid breathing in harmfulvapours.

WARNING

Filling the tank

To fill the tank completely, top up twiceafter the first click of the trigger. Furthertop ups could cause faults in the fuel sup-ply system.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The devices for reducing petrol engineemissions are the following:

❒ three-way catalytic converter;

❒ Lambda sensors;

❒ fuel evaporation prevention system.

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

The following devices are used for reduc-ing diesel fuel engine emissions:

❒ oxidising catalytic converter;

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

❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-sions/markets, where provided).

WARNING

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) (for versions/markets where provided)

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

The diesel particulate filter is needed toeliminate almost all particulates in com-pliance with current/future legislation.

During normal use of the vehicle, the en-gine control unit records a set of data (e.g.travel time, type of route, temperatures,etc.) and it will then calculate how muchparticulate has been trapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically traps particu-late, it should be regenerated (cleaned)at regular intervals by burning the carbonparticles.

The regeneration procedure is handledautomatically by the engine control unitaccording to the filter conditions and ve-hicle use conditions.

During regeneration, there may be: a lim-ited increase in minimum revs, a slight in-crease in fumes and high exhaust temper-atures. These are not faults; they do notimpair vehicle performance or damage theenvironment.

If the dedicated message is displayed, re-fer to the “Warning lights and messages”section.

The diesel particulate filter(DPF) (for versions/markets,

where provided) reaches high tem-peratures during normal operation.Do not park the vehicle on grass, dryleaves, pine needles or other flam-mable material: fire hazard.

Remember that, in the eventof a violent collision, back

seat passengers not wearing seat beltsrepresent a serious danger for thefront seat passengers as well as forthemselves.

WARNING

Make sure the backrest isproperly secured at both

sides to prevent it moving forward inthe event of sharp braking that maycause injuries to passengers.

WARNING

SBR SYSTEM

The car is fitted with the SBR system (SeatBelt Reminder), consisting of an audiblewarning which, together with the turningon of the warning light < on the instru-ment panel, warns the driver and/or thefront passenger (for versions/markets,where provided), that they need to fastentheir seat belt.

For permanent deactivation, contact a FiatDealership.


PRETENSIONERS

To increase the efficiency of the seat belts,the car is fitted with front pretensioners.These devices, in the event of a violentcrash, rewind the seat belts by a few cen-timetres. In this way, they ensure that theseat belt adheres perfectly to the wearerbefore the restraining action begins.

The seat belt reel locks to indicate that thepretensioners have intervened; the seatbelt cannot be drawn back up even whenguiding it manually.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-gree of protection from the action of thepretensioning device, wear the seat belttight 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 lubrication.

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

If, due to unusual natural events (floods,sea storms, etc.), the device has been affected by water and mud, it must be replaced.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase passenger safety, the frontseat belt reels contain a load limiter whichcontrols the force acting on the chest andshoulders during the belt restraining ac-tion in the event of a head-on collision.

The pretensioner can beused only once. Go to a Fiat

Dealership to have it replaced afterit has been deployed. Consult thecard in the glove box to check the sta-tus of the pretensioners. Go to a FiatDealership to have the device re-placed when the expiration date approaches.

WARNING

Operations which lead toknocks, vibrations or lo-calised heating (over 100 °Cfor a maximum of 6 hours) in

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


GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respecting,and ensuring that all the other occupantsof the car also respect, the local laws inforce in relation to the use of the seatbelts. Always fasten the seat belts beforesetting off.

Seat belts are also to be worn by expec-tant mothers: the risk of injury in the eventof an accident is greatly reduced for themand the unborn child if they are wearinga seat belt.

Of course, mothers-to-be must positionthe lower part of the belt very low downso that it passes over the pelvis and underthe abdomen fig. 5.

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. 6, not to the abdomen.Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to holdthe seat belt away from your body.

WARNING


HOW TO KEEP THE SEATBELTS EFFECTIVE

Observe the following precautions forcorrect seat belt maintenance:

❒ always use the belt with the tap wellstretched and never twisted; make surethat it is free to run without obstruc-tions;

❒ replace the belt after a serious accident,even if it does not appear damaged. Always replace the seat belt if the pre-tensioners were deployed;

❒ To clean the belt, wash by hand withwater and mild soap, rinse and leave todry in the shade. Do not use strong de-tergents, bleach, paints or any otherchemicals which could damage the beltfibres;

❒ prevent the reels from getting wet:their correct operation is guaranteedonly if water does not get inside;

❒ replace the seat belt when it showssigns of significant wear or cuts.

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 accident.

WARNING

Never disassemble or tamperwith the seat belt or preten-

sioner components. All operationsmust be performed by qualified andauthorised personnel. Always go toa Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

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

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

WARNING

Each seat belt must be usedby only one person. Never

travel with a child sitting on the pas-senger’s lap and a single belt to pro-tect them both. In general, do notplace any objects between the personand the belt.

WARNING


For optimum protection in the event ofa crash, all passengers must be seated andwearing adequate restraint systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all EU countries pursuant to Directive2003/20/EC.

A child’s head is larger and heavier than anadult’s in proportion to its body, while itsmuscular and bone structures are not ful-ly developed. For this reason, they requirerestraint systems which are different fromthose used by adults to protect them inthe event of an accident.

The research results in relation to the bestprotection for children are illustrated inthe European Regulation EEC-R44, whichdivides the restraint systems into fivegroups in addition to making their usecompulsory:

Group 0 0-10 kg in weight

Group 0+ 0-13 kg

Group 1 9-18 kg

Group 2 15-25 kg

Group 3 22-36 kg

As you can see, the groups overlap part-ly and, in fact, there are devices on salethat cover more than one weight group.

FRONT AIRBAGS

The car is fitted with front airbags for thedriver and the passenger, and with a kneebag on the driver’s side (for versions/mar -kets, where provided).

The front driver/passenger airbags and thedriver’s knee bag (for versions/markets,where provided) have been designed toprotect the occupants of the front seatsin the event of head-on crashes of medi-um/high severity, by placing the bag be-tween the occupant and the steeringwheel or dashboard.

Non-activation in other types of crash(side-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,etc.) is therefore not a sign of system mal-function.

An electronic control unit causes the bagto inflate in the event of a head-on 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.

The front driver/passenger airbags and thedriver’s knee bag (for versions/markets,where provided) are not a replacementfor, but rather complement the use of,seat belts, which should always be worn,as specified by law in Europe and mostnon-European countries.

The volume of the front airbags at maxi-mum inflation fills most of the space between the steering wheel and the dri-ver and between the dashboard and thepassenger.

In the event of an impact, someone notwearing a seat belt will move forward andcome into contact with the bag which isstill in the opening stage. The protectionoffered by the bag is reduced in sucha case.

Front airbags may not be activated in thefollowing situations:

❒ in collisions against highly strainable ob-jects that do not affect the front surfaceof the car (e.g. bumper collision againstguard rail, piles of gravel 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. In these cases, non-deployment ofthe airbag does not necessarily indicatea system malfunction.

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

wheel, passenger side airbag cover orupper side upholstery. Do not placeobjects (e.g. mobile phones) on thepassenger side dashboard becausethese could interfere with the correctopening of the airbag and cause se-vere injury to occupants.

WARNING

The airbags are not deployed in the eventof minor collisions (for which the with-holding action of the seat belts is suffi-cient). For this reason, the seat belt mustbe worn at all times. In the case of side-on collisions, the seat belts hold occupantsin the correct position and prevent themfrom being thrown out of the car by a veryviolent collision.

SIDE AIRBAGS

The car is fitted with front side airbags for driver and passenger (for versions/mar kets, where provided) for protectingthe chest and pelvis, and window bags (for versions/markets, where provided) for protecting the heads of front and rearpassengers.

Side airbags (for versions/markets, whereprovided) protect car occupants fromside-on crashes of medium/high severityby placing the bag between the occupantand the internal parts of the side structureof the car.

Non-activation of side bags in other typesof collisions (head-on collisions, rearshunts, roll-overs, etc…) is not an indi-cation of system malfunction.

In the event of a side-on crash, an elec-tronic control unit triggers the inflation ofthe bag if required. The cushion immedi-ately inflates, placing itself between the oc-cupant’s body and structures that couldcause injuries, the cushion deflates Imme-diately afterwards.

Side bags (for versions/markets, whereprovided) are not a replacement for, butrather a complement to, the seat belts,which should be worn at all times as spec-ified by law in Europe and most non-Eu-ropean countries.

FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS - CHEST AND PELVIS ZONE PROTECTION fig. 17 (for versions/markets, where provided)

Front side airbags are housed in the seatbackrests. They consist of an instant-in-flation bag designed to increase protectionof the occupants’ chest and pelvis zone inthe event of a side-on crash of medium/high severity.

IMPORTANT The front airbags and/orside bags may be deployed if the car is sub-ject to heavy knocks involving the under-body area, such as violent shocks againststeps, kerbs or low obstacles, the carfalling into big holes or hollows in the road.

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 may irritate skinand eyes. Wash with mild soap and wa-ter in the event of exposure.

The expiration dates of the explosivecharge and the clock wire are shown on aspecific label contained in the glove box.Go to a Fiat Dealership to have the de-vices replaced when the expiration dateapproaches.

IMPORTANT Should an accident occur inwhich any of the safety devices are acti-vated, take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealershipto have the activated devices replaced andto have the whole system checked.

Every control, repair and replacement op-eration concerning the airbags must becarried out only at Fiat Dealerships.

If you are having the car scrapped, havethe airbag system deactivated at a FiatDealership first. If the car changes own-ership, the new owner must be informedof the method of use of the airbags andthe above warnings, and also be given this“Owner’s Handbook”.

IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbagsand front side bags are deployed differ-ently according to the type of collision.Non-deployment of one of these devicesdoes not therefore indicate a system fault.

SIDE WINDOW BAGS - HEADPROTECTION fig. 18 (for versions/markets, were provided)

These consist of two “curtain” cushions,one on the right and the other on the leftside of the car, located behind the sidecoverings of the roof and covered by ap-propriate finishings.

Window bags have been designed for pro-tecting the head of front and rear occu-pants in the event of a side-on collision,thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.

IMPORTANT In the event of a side-oncrash, the system offers the best protec-tion if you have a correct position on theseat because this allows the side bags toinflate correctly.

Never lean your head, armsor elbows out of the 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 multifunction display, for ver-sions/markets, where provided), therecould be a failure in the safety sys-tems; in this event, airbags or pre-tensioners may not trigger in case ofimpact or, in a minor number of cas-es, they could trigger accidentally.Contact a Fiat Dealership immedi-ately 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; serious injury may re-sult in the event of the airbag beingtriggered.

WARNING

If the key is turned to MAR,even if the engine is switched

off, airbags may be deployed whenthe car is stationary and hit by an-other vehicle. For this reason, childrenmust never occupy the front seat,even if the car is not moving. Con-versely, remember that when the keyis inserted in the STOP position, nosafety device (air bag or pretension-ers) will activate following an impact;non-activation of these devices in suchcases cannot therefore be consideredan indicator of system malfunction.

Do not wash the seats withwater or steam under pres-

sure (by hand or in automatic wash-ing stations for seats).

WARNING

Front airbag deploymenttakes place at a higher level

of impact than the pretensioners. Forcollisions in the range between thetwo thresholds, it is normal for onlythe pretensioners to be activated.

WARNING

Do not hang rigid objects onthe coat hooks and the sup-

port handles.

WARNING

Airbags do not replace seatbelts, but increase their effi-

ciency. Furthermore, since frontairbags are not deployed in lowspeed collisions, side-on collisions,rear-end shunts or roll-overs, the pas-sengers are protected only by theseat belts which must therefore befastened at all times.

WARNING

When the ignition key isturned to MAR, the warning

light (with passenger’s front airbagactivated) turns on and flashes fora few seconds to remind you that thepassenger’s air bag will be deployedin a crash, after which it should go off.

WARNING

Always drive with your handson the steering wheel rim so

that the airbag can inflate freely ifneeded. Do not drive with your bodybent forward. Keep your back straightagainst the backrest.

WARNING

If the vehicle has been sub-ject to theft or a theft at-

tempt, or if it has been affected byvandalism or flooding, have the airbagsystem checked at a Fiat Dealership.

GSTARTING THE ENGINE

The car is fitted with an electronic enginelock device: if the engine fails to start, seethe paragraph on “The Fiat CODE sys-tem” in the “Dashboard and controls”section.

The engine may be noisier during the firstfew seconds of operation, particularly af-ter a long period of inactivity. This is a fea-ture of hydraulic tappets, the timing sys-tem chosen to reduce the number ofservicing interventions, and effects neitherfunctionality nor reliability.

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

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

When the engine is switchedoff, never leave the key inthe ignition switch to preventdraining the battery.

It is dangerous to have theengine running indoors. The

engine consumes oxygen and pro-duces carbon dioxide, carbon monox-ide and other toxic gases.

WARNING

Remember that the brakebooster and power steering

are not operational until the enginehas been started, therefore you needto apply much more force than usu-al to the brake pedal and steeringwheel.

WARNING

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒ ensure that the handbrake is on;

❒ put the gear lever into neutral;

❒ press the clutch pedal all the way downwithout touching the accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV and re-lease it the moment the engine starts.

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

If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the in-strument panel warning light Y remainslit together with warning light U, turn thekey to STOP and then back to MAR; ifthe warning lights remain on, try using theother keys provided with the car.

IMPORTANT If the instrument panelwarning light Y stays on permanently,contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.

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

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒ ensure that the handbrake is on;

❒ put the gear lever into neutral;

❒ turn the ignition key to MAR: thewarning lights m and Y on the in-strument panel will turn on;

❒ wait for the warning lights Y and mto turn off. The hotter the engine is, thequicker this will happen;

❒ press the clutch pedal all the way downwithout touching the accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV as soonas the warning light m turns off. Wait-ing too long will waste the work doneby the heater plugs. Release the key assoon as the engine starts.

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

If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the in-strument panel warning light Y remainslit together with warning light m, turnthe key to STOP and then back to MAR;if the warning lights remain on, try usingthe other keys provided with the car.

IMPORTANT If the instrument panelwarning light Y stays on permanently,contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.

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

Warning light m will blinkfor 60 seconds after startingor during prolonged crankingto indicate a fault with the

glow plug system. Use the car as nor-mal if the engine starts, but go to a FiatDealership as soon as possible.

GSTOPPING THE ENGINE

Turn the ignition to STOP while the engine is idling.

IMPORTANT After a long 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 especially damaging to tur-bocharged engines.

WARMING UP THE ENGINEAFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED(petrol and diesel versions)

Proceed as follows:

❒ drive off slowly at medium revs, and ac-celerate smoothly;

❒ do not demand maximum 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 started, so

you need to apply much more forcethan usual to the brake pedal andsteering wheel.

Never jump start the engineby pushing, towing or drivingdownhill. This could cause fu-el to flow into the catalytic

converter and damage it beyond repair.

HANDBRAKE fig. 1

The handbrake is located between thetwo front seats.

Pull the lever upwards to operate thehandbrake. Four or five notches are nor-mally sufficient to secure the car on flatterrain, while nine or ten may be neces-sary on a steep slope with the car loaded.

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

When the handbrake is on and the igni-tion key is at MAR, the instrument panelwarning light x will come on.

PARKING THE VEHICLE

Proceed as follows:

❒ stop the engine and engage the hand-brake;

❒ engage a gear (first gear if the vehicleis parked uphill or reverse if it is facingdownhill) and leave the wheels turned.

If the car is parked on a steep slope, it isalso advisable to block the wheels witha wedge or stone. Do not leave the key inthe ignition switch as this drains the bat-tery. 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 with you.

WARNING

fig. 1 F0M0115m

To release the handbrake, proceed as follows:

❒ pull up slightly on the lever and pressrelease button A;

❒ hold button A down and lower thelever. The x warning light on the in-strument panel will go out.

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

GUSING THE MANUALGEARBOX

To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-al down fully and shift the gear lever intoone of the required positions (a diagramis shown on the knob fig. 2).

IMPORTANT Reverse may be engagedonly when the car is at a standstill. Withthe engine running, wait for at least 2 sec-onds with the clutch pedal fully depressedbefore engaging reverse to prevent dam-age to the gears and grating.

fig. 2 F0M0503m

Depress the clutch pedal ful-ly to change gear correctly.

There should be no obstacles on thefloor underneath the pedals; makesure that mats are always flat and donot interfere with the pedals.

WARNING

Do not drive with your handresting on the gear lever asthe force exerted, even ifslight, could lead over time to

premature wear of the gearbox inter-nal components.

To engage reverse R from neutral, lift ringA under the knob and at the same timemove the gearshift lever to the right andthen backwards fig. 2.

IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should beused only to change gear. Do not drivewith your foot resting on the clutch ped-al, however slightly. For versions/markets,where provided, the electronic clutchcontrol can intervene if it interprets the incorrect driving style as a fault.

Roof rack/ski rack

Remove the roof rack or ski rack from theroof after use. These accessories decreaseaerodynamic penetration and have a neg-ative effect on fuel consumption. It is bet-ter to use a trailer to transport particu-larly bulky objects.

Electrical devices

Use electrical devices only for the amountof time needed. The heated rear window,auxiliary headlights, windscreen wipers andfan heater use up a considerable amountof current, causing increased fuel con-sumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).

Air conditioning

Air conditioning leads to higher fuel con-sumption (on average up to +20%). If thetemperature outside is not too extreme,try and use the air vents.

Spoilers

The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-versely affect aerodynamics and fuel con-sumption.

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm up the engine at low or highrevs when the vehicle is stationary; thiscauses the engine to warm up more slow-ly, thereby increasing fuel consumptionand emissions. It is advisable to set off im-mediately and slowly, avoiding high revs:this allows the engine to warm up morequickly.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid revving up when stationary at traf-fic lights or before stopping the engine.The latter action, like double declutching,is entirely unnecessary and causes in-creased fuel consumption and pollution.

Gear selection

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

In the same way, improper use of a highgear increases fuel consumption, emissionsand engine wear.

SAVING FUEL

Here are some suggestions which mayhelp you to save fuel and reduce theamount of toxic emissions released intothe atmosphere.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Car maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carried outin accordance with the “Scheduled ServicePlan”.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressure at least onceevery 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low,consumption levels increase as resistanceto rolling is higher.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with an overloaded boot.The weight of the car (especially when dri-ving in town) and its arrangement greatlyaffect fuel consumption and stability.

GCONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will prevent the engine from reach-ing optimal running temperature. Conse-quently, both fuel consumption (from +15to +30% on the urban cycle) and emis-sions will increase.

Traffic and road conditions

Heavy traffic, for instance when travellingin a queue with frequent use of low gearsor in cities with lots of traffic lights, caus-es fairly high fuel consumption. Mountainroads and uneven surfaces also have a neg-ative effect on consumption.

Traffic hold-ups

During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. at levelcrossings) the engine should be switchedoff.

TOWING TRAILERS

IMPORTANT NOTES

The car must be equipped with an ap-proved tow hook and adequate electricalsystem to tow caravans or trailers. Instal-lation must be performed by specialisedpersonnel who will issue the required pa-pers for travelling on roads.

Install any specific and/or additional rearview mirrors in accordance with the high-way code of the country in which you aretravelling.

Remember that, when towing a trailer,steep hills are harder to climb, braking dis-tances increase and overtaking takeslonger relative to the overall weight of thetrailer.

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

The weight of the trailer on the car’s towhook will reduce the load capacity of thecar by the same amount. Consider theweight of the trailer fully laden, includingaccessories and luggage, to make sure youdo not exceed the maximum towableweight (shown on the vehicle registrationdocument).

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 increasedemissions.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently severely affects con-sumption and emissions: accelerationshould be gradual and should not exceedthe maximum torque.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK

The towing device should be fastened tothe body by specialised personnel in ac-cordance with any additional informationsupplied by the manufacturer of the device.

The towing device must meet current reg-ulations with reference to Directive94/20/EC and subsequent amendments.

For any version the towing device usedmust be right for the towable weight ofthe car on which it is to be installed.

For the electric connection a unified con-nector should be used, which is generallyplaced on a special bracket fastened to thetowing device, and a special ECU shouldbe installed on the car to control the trail-er’s exterior lights.

Seven- or 13-pin 12VDC connectionsshould be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DINStandards). Follow any instructions pro-vided by the car manufacturer and/or thetowing device manufacturer.

An electric brake or winch should be pow-ered directly by the battery through a ca-ble with a cross-section of no less than2.5 mm2.

IMPORTANT The engine must be runningto use the electric brake or winch.

In addition to the electrical appliances, thecar’s electrical system may be connectedonly to the supply cable for an electricbrake and the cable for a light inside thetrailer with a wattage of no more than15 W.

For connections, use the preset controlunit with a battery cable no less than2.5 mm2.

Respect each country’s specific speed lim-its for vehicles towing trailers. The topspeed must not exceed 100 km/h at anytime.

You should fit a suitable stabiliser to thetrailer.

The ABS with which the carmay be equipped will not

control the braking system of thetrailer. Particular caution is thereforerequired on slippery roads.

WARNING

Never modify the brakingsystem of the car to control

the trailer brake. The trailer brakingsystem must be fully independentfrom the hydraulic system of the car.

IMPORTANT When snow tyres are usedwith a maximum speed index below theone that can be reached by the car (in-creased by 5%), place a notice in the pas-senger compartment, plainly in view, whichstates the maximum permissible speed ofthe snow tyres (as per an EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same (brandand profile) to ensure greater safety whendriving and braking as well as making thecar more responsive.

Remember that you should not change therotation direction of the tyres.

SNOW CHAINS

The use of snow chains should be in com-pliance with local regulations.

Snow chains may be fitted only to thefront wheel tyres (drive wheels). Use ofLineaccessori Fiat snow chains is recom-mended.

Check the tension of the chains after thefirst few metres have been driven.

IMPORTANT When the snow chains areon, use the accelerator with extremecare to prevent, or to limit as much aspossible, the driving wheels from skid-ding. This could cause the chains tobreak, resulting in damage to the vehiclebody or mechanical components.

IMPORTANT Use compact 9 mm snowchains.

SNOW TYRES

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

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

For the type, pressures and specificationsof the snow tyre to be used, follow care-fully the instructions given in the “Wheels”paragraph of the “Technical specifications”section.

The performance of these tyres is con-siderably reduced when the tread depthis less than 4 mm. If this is the case, replacethem.

Due to their specific features, the perfor-mance of snow tyres is much lower thanthat of standard tyres in normal condi-tions or on long motorway stretches. Youshould therefore use them only in theconditions for which they were designed.

The maximum speed forsnow tyres marked “Q” is

160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T”tyres and 210 km/h for “H” tyres. Youshould, however, always stick to thespeed limits of the highway code.

GCAR INACTIVITY

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

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

❒ engage a gear;

❒ check that the handbrake is engaged;

❒ disconnect the clip for the negative bat-tery terminal and check battery charge.Repeat this check once every threemonths during storage. Recharge thebattery if the indicator is dark and themiddle area is not green;

❒ 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;

❒ open the windows slightly;

❒ cover the car with a fabric or perfo-rated plastic sheet. Do not use compactplastic sheets which do not allow hu-midity to evaporate from the surface ofthe car;

❒ inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 barabove the normal specified pressureand check regularly;

❒ if you don’t disconnect the battery fromthe electrical system, check its chargeevery month and recharge it if the in-dicator shows a dark colour withoutthe central green area;

❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.

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

Keep your speed down whensnow chains are fitted – donot exceed 50 km/h. Avoidpotholes, steps and pave-ments and also avoid drivingfor long distances on roads

not covered with snow to avoid dam-aging the car and the road surface.

LIGHT STAYS ON: LOWENGINE OIL PRESSURE(red)

FLASHING LIGHT:EXHAUSTED ENGINEOIL (only Multijet versions withDPF - red)

When the ignition key is turned to MAR(ON), the warning light switches on andshould go out as soon as the engine isstarted.

1. Low engine oil pressure

The warning light turns on and stays onconstantly (for versions/markets, whereprovided) along with the message on thedisplay when the system detects that en-gine oil pressure is low.

v

If the warning light vturns on when the vehicle is

travelling (on certain versions to-gether with the message on the dis-play) stop the engine immediatelyand contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

❒ if the vehicle is used under de-manding conditions (e.g. towingtrailers uphill or fully loaded): slowdown and, if the light stays on, stop thecar. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with theengine running and slightly acceleratedto assist better coolant circulation.Then switch the engine off. Check cor-rect fluid level as described above.

IMPORTANT On particularly demandingjourneys, it is advisable to keep the engineon and slightly accelerated for a few min-utes before switching it off.


LOW BATTERYCHARGE (red)

When the ignition key is moved to MAR,the warning light turns on but should goout as soon as the engine is started (withthe engine idling, a brief delay can be ex-pected).

If the warning light comes on, either per-manently or intermittently, contact a FiatDealership immediately.

w

2. Exhausted engine oil (only Multijet versions with DPF)

The warning light will flash and a specificmessage will appear on the display (forversions/markets, where provided). Thewarning light may flash in the followingways, depending on the version:– for 1 minute every two hours;– for 3 minute cycles with the warninglight off for intervals of 5 seconds until oilis changed.After the initial warning, each time the en-gine is started up, the warning light willcontinue to flash in the above mentionedmodes, until the oil is changed. A specificmessage will appear on the display (forversions/markets, where provided) in ad-dition to the warning light.If the warning light flashes, this does notmean that the car is defective but simplyinforms the driver that it is now necessaryto change the oil as a result of regular ve-hicle use.Note that engine oil is exhausted fasterunder the following circumstances:– use of the vehicle prevalently for city dri-ving, requiring more frequent regenera-tion of DPF– use of the vehicle for short drives, inwhich the engine does not have time toreach its regular operating temperature – repeated interruption of the regenera-tion process, signalled by the DPF warn-ing light coming on.

When the ignition key is moved to MARposition, the warnintg light turns on butshould go off after a few seconds. Thewarning light stays on constantly to noti-fy the driver that the DPF system needsto eliminate captured pollutants (particu-late) by the regeneration process. Thewarning light does not come on duringevery DPF regeneration, but only whendriving conditions require notification tothe driver. The warning light will go off ifthe vehicle stays in motion until regener-ation has been completed. The processnormally takes about 15 minutes. The op-timum conditions to end the process areachieved by keeping the car in motion atup to 60 km/h with an engine speed high-er than 2000 rpm. This light coming on isnot a defect and therefore the car doesnot need to go to the workshop. A spe-cific message will appear on the displaywhen the warning light comes on (for ver-sions/markets, where provided).

h Always drive at a speed ap-propriate to the traffic con-

ditions, the weather and speed limits.The engine may be turned off whilethe DPF light is on; however, repeat-ed interruption of the regenerationprocess may result in prematuredegradation of engine oil. For thisreason it is always advisable to waitfor the light to go off before turningoff the engine, following the instruc-tions appearing above. It is nota good idea to complete DPF regen-eration with the vehicle stationary.

YSTARTING THE ENGINE

EMERGENCY START-UP

If the instrument panel warning light Ystays on permanently, contact a FiatDealership immediately.

JUMP STARTING fig. 1

If the battery is flat, the engine may bestarted using an auxiliary battery with anequal or slightly higher capacity than theflat one. Proceed as follows to start the car:

❒ connect the positive terminals (+ nearthe terminal) of the two batteries witha jump lead;

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

❒ start the engine.

❒ when the engine has been started, fol-low the sequence above in reverse or-der to remove the leads.

If after a few attempts the engine does notstart, do not keep trying but contact a FiatDealership.

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect thenegative terminals of the two batteries: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.

IMPORTANT For cars with Start&Stopsystem, in case of starting by booster bat-tery, refer to "Dashboard and controls"chapter, paragraph "Start&Stop system".

BUMP STARTING

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

IMPORTANT Remember that the brakebooster and the power steering systemare not active until the engine is started,so you will need to apply much more forceto the brake pedal or steering wheel.

This procedure must be per-formed by expert personnel

because incorrect actions may causeconsiderable electrical discharge. Fur-thermore, battery fluid is poisonousand corrosive: avoid contact with skinand eyes. Keep naked flames and litcigarettes away from the battery. Donot create sparks.

CHANGING A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

❒ When a light is not working, check thatthe corresponding fuse is intact beforechanging the bulb. For the location offuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse”paragraph in this section;

❒ before changing a bulb check the con-tacts for rusting;

❒ burnt bulbs must be replaced by othersof the same type and wattage;

❒ for safety reasons, always check the di-rection of the headlight beam afterchanging a bulb.

IMPORTANT The internal surface of thelight may appear slightly misty: this doesnot indicate a fault, and is actually 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 drops inside the head-lights indicates infiltration of water. Go toa Fiat Dealership.

TYPES OF BULBS

Various types of bulbs are fitted to yourcar:

A Glass bulbs: clipped into position. Pullto remove.

B Bayonet-type bulbs: to remove fromits holder, press the bulb in and turnit anti-clockwise.

C Tubular bulbs: release them fromtheir contacts to remove.

D-E Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,release the clip holding the bulb inplace.

Halogen bulbs must be han-dled holding the metallic partonly. Touching the transpar-ent part of the bulb with your

fingers may reduce the intensity of thelight emitted and even compromise thelongevity of the bulb itself. In the eventof accidental contact, wipe the bulbwith an alcohol-soaked cloth and leaveto dry.

Modifications or repairs tothe electrical system (ECUs)

that are not carried out properly ordo not take the system’s technicalspecifications into account can causemalfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain pres-surised gas which may cause

small fragments of glass to be pro-jected outwards if the bulb is broken.

We recommend recharging the batteryslowly for approximately 24 hours at lowamperage. Rapid charging with high cur-rents could damage the battery.

VERSIONS WITHOUTStart&Stop SYSTEM

Charge the battery as follows:

❒ disconnect battery negative terminal;

❒ connect the charger cables to the bat-tery terminals, observing the polarity;

❒ turn on the charger;

❒ when you have finished, turn the charg-er off before disconnecting it from thebattery;

❒ reconnect battery negative terminal.

YRAISING THE CAR

If the car needs to be lifted, go to a FiatDealership which is equipped with the armhoist or workshop lift.

The car should be lifted side-on only, byputting the ends of the arms or the work-shop lifting device in the areas shown inthe diagram.

Do not try to rechargea frozenbattery; defrost it first to pre-

vent the risk of explosion. If the bat-tery was frozen, have it inspected byspecialised personnel before recharg-ing to check that the internal ele-ments are not damaged and that thecasing is not cracked, which couldcause poisonous, corrosive gas to leak.

WARNING

REIMPORTANT Scheduled Services are pre-scribed by the manufacturer. Failure tostick to the schedule may invalidate thewarranty.

Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-at Dealerships at pre-arranged times.

If, during each part of the service, the needarises for additional replacements or re-pairs, these may be carried out only withthe explicit agreement of the Customer.

IMPORTANT You are advised to contacta Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-nor operating faults, without waiting forthe next service.

If your car is used frequently for towing,the interval between services should bereduced.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car life under the best con-ditions.

This is why Fiat has planned a series ofchecks and services every 30,000 km.

It is, however, important to rememberthat scheduled servicing does not com-pletely cover all the car’s requirements:even in the initial period before 30,000 km,and then subsequently between one ser-vice and another, ordinary care is alwaysrequired such as routine checks involv-ing topping up fluid level, checking tyrepressures etc...

DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR

Should the car be used predominantly inone of the following particularly demand-ing conditions:

❒ trailer or caravan towing;

❒ dusty roads;

❒ short (less than 7-8 km) and repeatedjourneys in sub-zero temperatures;

❒ frequently idling engine or long-dis-tance, low-speed driving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or lengthy inactivity;

❒ driving in towns and cities;

you should perform the following inspec-tions more frequently than shown on theScheduled Servicing Plan:

❒ check front disc brake pad conditionsand wear;

❒ check cleanliness of bonnet and bootlocks, and cleanliness and lubrication oflinkages;

❒ visually inspect the conditions of: en-gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes andtubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rubberparts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);

❒ check battery charge and liquid level(electrolyte);

❒ visually inspect the condition of the ac-cessory drive belts;

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

❒ check air filter and replace, if required.

REGULAR CHECKS

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

❒ engine coolant fluid level;

❒ brake fluid level;

❒ windscreen washer level;

❒ tyre pressure and conditions.

❒ operation of lights (headlights, directionindicators, hazard lights, etc.);

❒ operation of the windscreenwiper/washer system, position andwear of the windscreen and rear win-dow wiper blades;

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

You are recommended to use PETRONASLUBRICANTS products, which have beendesigned and produced specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Capacities” in the“Technical specifications” section).

If the oil level is close to or under MIN,add oil through the filler neck A, until thelevel reaches MAX.

The oil level should never exceed MAX.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

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

During the initial period of usage for thevehicle, the engine is bedding in thereforethe engine oil consumption may settledown only after 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 should be between the MINand MAX marks on the dipstick B.

The gap between MIN and MAX is equalto around 1 litre of oil.

The cooling system is pres-surised. If the cap needs re-

placing, do so with another originalor the effectiveness of the system maybe compromised. Do not remove thecap from the reservoir when the en-gine is hot: you may get burned

WARNINGENGINE COOLANT fig. 5

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

If the level is low, slowly pour a mixtureof 50% demineralised water and 50%PARAFLUUP (made by PETRONAS LU-BRICANTS) through the filler neck A until the level reaches MAX.

The 50-50 mixture of PARAFLUUP anddemineralised water gives freeze protec-tion up to −35°C.ù

For particularly harsh climate conditions,a mixture of 60% PARAFLUUP and 40%distilled water is recommended.

Used engine oil and the re-placed oil filter contain sub-stances that may be harmfulto the environment. It is ad-

visable to have oil and filters changedby a Fiat Dealership, where they will bedisposed of properly and in accordancewith the law.

Do not add oil with differentcharacteristics to those of theexisting engine oil.

Be very careful working inthe engine compartment

when the engine is hot: you may getburned. Remember that the fan maystart up if the engine is hot: this couldinjure you. Make sure that scarves,ties and other loose fitting garmentsdo not get caught up in moving parts.

If you need to top up, you should use thebrake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubri-cants” table (see “Technical Specifications”).

NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap A andthe surrounding surfaces.

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

Always use a funnel with a built-in filter witha mesh of 0.12 mm or less for topping up.

POLLEN FILTER

Have the pollen filter replaced by a FiatDealership.

Symbol π on the containerindicates a synthetic brake

fluid, which is different from a min-eral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluidwill damage the special rubber sealsof the braking system beyond repair.

WARNING BATTERY

The battery is of the “Limited mainte-nance” type: under normal conditions ofuse, the electrolyte does not need toppingup with distilled water.

The battery fluid is poiso-nous and corrosive. Avoid

contact with the skin and eyes. Keepnaked flames or possible sources ofsparks away from the battery: risk ofexplosion or fire.

WARNING

CHECKING THE CHARGE AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

Inspection operations must be carried outonly by specialised personnel, followingthe prescriptions contained in this Own-er Handbook. Any top-up operationsmust be carried out only by specialisedpersonnel at a Fiat Dealership.

Using the battery when thefluid is too low can damage

it irreparably and generate a risk ofexplosion.

WARNING

REPLACING THE BATTERY

If required, replace the battery with anoriginal spare part with the same specifi-cations.

If a battery with different specifications isfitted, the service intervals given in the“Scheduled Servicing Plan” will no longerbe valid.

For battery maintenance, you shouldtherefore refer to the instructions pro-vided by the battery manufacturer.

The battery will also be more at risk offreezing (this can happen as early as−10 °C). Refer to “Car inactivity” in“Starting and driving” if the car is leftparked for a long time.

If, after buying the car, you want to installelectrical devices that require a permanentelectric supply (alarm, etc.) or devices thatuse a lot of electricity, contact a Fiat Deal-ership. Their qualified personnel, in addi-tion to suggesting the most suitable de-vices from the Lineaccessori Fiat range,will evaluate the overall electricity con-sumption, checking whether the car’s elec-tric system is capable of withstanding theload required, or whether it should be in-tegrated with a more powerful battery.

Since these devices continue to consumeenergy even when the engine is switchedoff, they gradually run down the battery.

USEFUL ADVICE FOREXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY

To avoid draining your battery and makeit last longer, follow these instructionsclosely:

❒ when you park the car, ensure that thedoors, boot and bonnet are closedproperly to prevent the ceiling courtesylights from staying on;

❒ turn off the ceiling lights, although thecar does have an automatic system forswitching off internal lights;

❒ do not leave devices (e.g. sound sys-tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is notrunning;

❒ before performing any operation on theelectrical system, disconnect the nega-tive battery cable;

❒ make sure battery terminals are fullytightened.

Incorrect assembly of electricand electronic devices maycause severe damage to yourcar. Go to a Fiat Dealership if

you want to install accessories (anti-theft device, mobile phone, etc.): theywill suggest the most suitable devicesand advise you if a higher-capacity bat-tery needs to be installed.

Batteries contain substancesthat can be very harmful tothe environment. It is advis-able to have the battery

changed by a Fiat Dealership, whereit will be disposed of properly and inaccordance with the law.

If the vehicle must remainunused for a long time at

very low temperatures, remove thebattery and take it to a warm placeto avoid freezing.

WARNING

If you have to perform anyoperation on the battery or

near it, always protect your eyes withspecial goggles.

WHEELS AND TYRES

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

It is normal for the pressure to increasewhen the car is used; for the correct tyreinflation pressure, see “Wheels” in the“Technical specifications” section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyrewear fig. 8:

A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.

B low pressure: tread particularly wornat the edges.

C high pressure: tread particularly wornin the centre.

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. 8 F0M0160m

IMPORTANT NOTES

❒ Where possible, avoid braking sudden-ly, wheel-spinning and crashing intocurbs, potholes or other obstacles.Long distances on uneven roads candamage the tyres;

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

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

❒ if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicleimmediately and change it to avoiddamage to the tyre, the rim, and thesuspension and steering systems;

❒ a tyre will age even if it is not used much.Cracks in the tread and on the sidewallsare a sign of ageing. In any event, havethe tyres checked by specialised per-sonnel if they have been fitted for longerthan 6 years. Remember to check thespare wheel very carefully;

❒ in case of replacement, always fit newtyres, avoiding those with an unknownorigin;

❒ if a tyre is replaced, you should alsochange the inflation valve;

❒ to allow even wear between the frontand rear tyres, it is advisable to switchthem every 10–15 thousand kilometres,keeping them on the same side of the car so as not to reverse the directionof rotation.

Remember that the roadholding qualities of your car

also depend on correct tyre pressures.

REWINDSCREEN/REARWINDOW WIPERS

BLADES

Regularly clean the rubber part using ap-propriate products; TUTELA PRO-FESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.

Replace the blades if the rubber edge ismisshapen or worn. In any event, 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 notfrozen to the windscreen in sub-zerotemperatures. Use an antifreeze prod-uct to release it if required;

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

❒ do not operate the windscreen wiperson dry glass.

Driving with worn wiperblades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in badweather.

WARNING

RUBBER TUBES

As far as the brake system and fuel rubberhoses are concerned, stick closely to the“Scheduled Servicing Plan” in this section.

Ozone, high temperatures and a pro-longed lack of fluid in the system maycause hardening and cracking of the tubes,which could result in leaks. Careful in-spections are therefore necessary.

If the pressure is too low, thetyre will overheat and could

be seriously damaged.

WARNING

Avoid switching the tyresfrom the right side of the ve-

hicle to the left side and vice versa.

WARNING

Do not re-spray alloy wheelrims at temperatures higher

than 150 °C. The mechanical char-acteristics of the wheels may becompromised.

BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY

Your car is covered by warranty againstperforation due to corrosion of any origi-nal element of the structure or bodywork.

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

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE 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. Useonly original paint products for touch-ups(see “Bodywork paint identification” in the“Technical specifications” section).

BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

The main causes of corrosion are the fol-lowing:

❒ atmospheric pollution;

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

❒ seasonal environmental conditions.

The abrasive action of wind-borne at-mospheric dust and sand, as well as mudand gravel raised by other cars, should notbe underestimated either.

Fiat used the best manufacturing tech-nologies on your car to effectively protectthe bodywork against corrosion.

These are the most important:

❒ painting products and systems whichgive the car particular resistance to cor-rosion 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 elements with highly protec-tive wax-based products;

Standard upkeep of the paintwork consistsof washing the vehicle: the frequency de-pends on the conditions and environmentwhere the vehicle is used. For example, itis advisable to wash the car more often inareas with high atmospheric pollution oron gritted roads.

To wash the car properly, proceed as fol-lows:

❒ if taking your car through an automat-ic car wash, remove the aerial from theroof;

❒ wash the body using a low-pressure jetof water;

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

❒ rinse with plenty of water and dry witha jet of air or a chamois leather.

Take particular care when drying the lessvisible parts, such as the door, bonnet andheadlight frames, where water can stagnatemore easily. It is a good idea to leave thecar in the open for a while after washingit to give time for the water to evaporate.

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

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

Where possible, do not park under trees;the resinous substances that fall off manyspecies give the paint a dull appearanceand increase the possibility of triggeringrust processes.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings should bewashed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.

Detergents pollute water. Thevehicle should be washed onlyin areas equipped for collect-ing and purifying the liquids

used in the washing process.

Windows

Use specific detergents to clean the win-dows.

Also use clean cloths to avoid scratchingthe glass or altering the transparency.

IMPORTANT Wipe the rear windowgently with a cloth in the direction of thefilaments to avoid damaging the heatingdevice.

Engine compartment

Wash the engine compartment thor-oughly at the end of every winter. Be care-ful not to direct the jet of water onto elec-tronic control units. Adequately protectthe upper air vents to prevent damage tothe windscreen wiper motor. Have thisoperation performed at a specialisedworkshop.

IMPORTANT Washing should take placewith a cold engine and with the key atSTOP. After the wash, make sure thatthe various protective devices (e.g. rubbercaps and guards) have not been removedor damaged.

Front headlights

IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-stances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g. ace-tone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of thefront headlights.

The fabric upholstery of yourcar is designed to withstandnormal wear and tear fora long time. Some precautions

are however needed. Avoid prolongedrubbing against clothing accessories,such as metal buckles, bosses, Velcrostrips and the like, which by applyinga high pressure on the fabric in a smallarea could cause the breakage of somethreads and damage the upholstery.

SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS

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

Wipe the seats with a sponge soaked ina solution of mild detergent and water.

Never use flammable prod-ucts, such as petroleum

ether or modified petrol, to clean theinside the car. The electrostaticcharges which are generated by rub-bing during cleaning may cause a fire.

WARNING

Do not keep aerosol cans inthe vehicle: these could ex-

plode. Aerosol cans must not be ex-posed to temperatures exceeding50°C. When the vehicle is exposed tosunlight, the temperature inside cangreatly exceed this value.

WARNING

INTERIOR

Check regularly that water is not trappedunder the mats (due to drops from shoes,umbrellas, etc.), as this could cause thesheet metal to rust.

IMPORTANT Never use alcohol- orpetrol-based products to clean the in-strument panel.

GENUINE LEATHER STEERINGWHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB

These components must be cleaned withmild soap and water only.

Never use spirits and/or alcohol-basedproducts.

Before using off-the-shelf products de-signed for cleaning vehicle interiors, makesure that they do not contain spirits and/or alcohol-based substances.

If window cleaner accidentally drips ontothe steering wheel or gear lever knob,wipe away immediately and then wash theaffected area with mild soap and water.

IMPORTANT When arranging a steeringwheel locking device, be careful not to dam-age the leather upholstery.

PLASTIC PARTS

It is advisable to clean interior plastic partswith a damp cloth and a solution of waterand mild, non-abrasive detergent. To re-move grease and tough stains, use productsdesigned specifically for cleaning plastics.These have no solvents and have been de-signed so that they do not alter the ap-pearance and colour of the components.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFEFiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its productionprocesses and manufacturing products that are increasingly “eco-compatible”.
