FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of sensor failures, when en-
gaging the reverse gear the driver is
warned by the turning on of warning light
èon the instrument panel or by symbol
t, together with the message on the dis-
play (see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
GENERAL WARNINGS
When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles set above or under the sensors.
Objects set close to the car front or rear
part, under certain circumstances are not
detected and could therefore cause dam-
ages to the car.
Parking sensors regular operation could
be affected by the following conditions:
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by multiple painting.
❒Sensors detect non-existing objects,
“echo disturbances” due to: car washing,
rain (with very strong wind), hail, etc.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can al-
so be altered by ultrasound systems
(e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-
matic hammers) set nearby the car.
❒Parking sensors performance can also
be affected by sensor position; for ex-
ample changes to the car set-up due to
shock-absorber wear, suspensions,
changing tyres, loading the car too
much, implementing special tuning to
lower the car.
❒Presence of obstacles at the upper side
of the car not be detected since the sys-
tem detects obstacles that could knock
into the lower side of the car. SENSOR DETECTION RANGE
Sensors enable the system to monitor the
front part (versions with 8 sensors) and
the rear part of the car.
Actually their position covers the central
and side areas of the front and rear part
of the car.
An obstacle positioned at central area is
detected at a distance less than 0.9 m
(front) and 1.40 m (rear).
An obstacle positioned at side area is de-
tected at a distance less than 0.6 m.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the
tow-hook fitted without a trailer attached,
contact your Fiat Dealership to update the
system because the tow-hook will be de-
tected as an obstacle by the central sen-
sors.

GENERAL WARNINGS
Turning on of warning light and/or symbol
is accompanied by specific message and/or
by buzzer sound where provided by in-
strument panel. These indications are
concise and cautionaryand shall not be
considered as exhaustive and/or as an al-
ternative to the specifications contained
in this Owner Handbook which shall al-
ways be read through carefully and thor-
oughly. In case of failure indication always
refer to the specifications contained
in this section.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed
are divided into two categories: very se-
riousand less seriousfailures.
Very seriousfailures are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning “cycle”.
Less seriousfailures are indicated by a
limited warning “cycle”.
The warning cycle of both failure classes
can be stopped by pressing button
MODE. The warning light (or symbol on
the display) will stay on until eliminating
the fault.Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is on.
If the car is moving, a buzzer will also
sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on
when travelling, check that the handbrake
is not engaged. LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level, due to possi-
ble leak in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.BRAKE PAD
WEAR (amber)
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on if the front brake pads
are worn; in this case have them changed
as soon as possible.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
IMPORTANT Since the car is fitted with
wear sensors for the front brake pads,
when changing them, check also the rear
brake pads.

If the xwarning light turns
on when travelling (together
with the message on the display) stop
the car immediately and contact Fiat
Dealership.

ENGINE COOLANT
HIGH TEMPERATURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to MAR
the warning light turns on, but it should go
off after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as
follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop the
car, switch off the engine and check
whether the water level in the reser-
voir is not below the MIN mark. Oth-
erwise wait for few seconds to allow
engine cooling, then open slowly and
carefully the cap, top up coolant and
check whether its level is falling be-
tween MIN and MAX marks in the
reservoir. Check visually any leak and if
when restarting the warning light
comes on again, contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
❒Car heavy duty(e.g.: towing trailer
uphill of fully laden car): decrease speed,
if the warning light stays on, stop the
car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes leaving the
engine on and slightly accelerated to
further activate the circulation of the
coolant fluid, then switch the engine off.
Check proper coolant level as de-
scribed previously.
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the
car, keep the engine on and slightly accel-
erated for few minutes before switching it
off.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.

Batteries contain substances
that are very harmful for the
environment. You are advised
to have the battery changed
at a Fiat Dealership, which is properly
equipped for disposing of used batter-
ies respecting nature and the law.
If the car is left inactive for
long periods at cold, remove
the battery and store it in a warm
place to prevent freezing.
WARNING
When working on the bat-
tery or near it, always wear
the proper goggles.
WARNING
USEFUL ADVICE
FOR LENGTHENING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and length-
en its life, observe the following indica-
tions:
❒ when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
❒ the ceiling lights must be off. The car
is however provided with an automat-
ic system for switching off internal
lights;
❒ do not keep accessories (e.g.: sound
system, hazard lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❒ before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒ battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk
of the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at –10°C). If the car is in-
active for a long period of time, refer to
“Car inactivity”, in section “Correct use
of the car”.
If after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require per-
manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-
tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the
car’s electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more power-
ful battery.
In fact, since these devices continue ab-
sorbing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the battery.
