WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic
signal. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: serious and less serious failures. Serious
faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning
"cycle" with a shorter duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel
warning light will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light switches on when the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light turns on when travelling (on
certain versions together with the message on the
display) stop the vehicle immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the
handbrake is engaged.Release the handbrake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
92
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

In this case, the rear wheels may
suddenly lock and the vehicle may
swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
56)
BRAKE ASSIST
(integrated ESP
emergency braking
assistance)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This system (which cannot be
deactivated) recognises emergency
braking conditions according to
the speed of operation of the brake
pedal and provides an additional
hydraulic braking pressure to
support that provided by the driver.
This allows faster and more powerful
operation of the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the
versions equipped with ESP, in
the event of ESP system failure
(indicated by the
warning light
coming on together with the
message in the multifunction display,
where provided).
57)
WARNING
53) When the ABS cuts in and you
feel the brake pedal pulsating,
do not raise your foot, but keep it
pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.
54) If the ABS intervenes, it is a sign
that the grip between tyre and the
road surface has reached the
limit: you must slow down to
adapt the speed to the road grip
available.
55) The ABS exploits the grip
available to the full, but it cannot
improve it. Therefore, you should
take great care when driving on
slippery surfaces, without taking
unnecessary risks.56) If only the
warning light
lights up in the instrument panel
(with a message in the display
on some versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid
leaking from the hydraulic system
will compromise the operation
of the braking system, whether it
is of the conventional type or
with ABS.
57) When the ABS cuts in and you
feel the brake pedal pulsating,
do not raise your foot, but keep it
pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.

FIX&GO automatic
QUICK TYRE REPAIR
KIT
The quick repair kit Fix&Go
automatic is contained in a suitable
bag inside the compartment on
the right rear side or, for Cargo
versions, under the passenger seat
(for versions with fixed or movable

(for versions with folding seat).
The quick tyre repair kit contains fig.
196:
❒bottle A containing sealer and fitted
with:
– filler tube B
– sticker C bearing the notice “max.
80 km/h”, to be placed in a position
visible to the driver (on the
instrument panel) after fixing the tyre
❒compressor D complete with
pressure gauge and connectors.

IN AN EMERGENCY

❒make sure that switch E fig. 200 for
the compressor is in position 0 (off),
start the engine, insert plug D fig. 199
into the power socket and switch on
the compressor by placing switch
E fig. 200 in position I (on). Inflate the
tyre to the pressure specified in the
"Cold tyre pressures" paragraph
in "Technical data" chapter. Check
tyre pressure on gauge F fig. 200
with compressor off to obtain a more
precise reading;❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage
the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the vehicle
forwards by approx. 10 metres in
order to distribute the sealant inside
the tyre evenly, then repeat the
inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still
impossible after 5 minutes to reach at
least 1.8 bar, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively damaged
and the quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee proper hold, contact a Fiat
Dealership;
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified
in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in
chapter “Technical Data”, start driving
immediately;
118) 119) 120)
❒after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and recheck the tyre
pressure fig. 201; remember to apply
the handbrake;
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,
restore correct pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the
nearest Fiat Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING
PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can also be used
solely for restoring pressure.
Release the quick coupling and
connect directly to the tyre valve fig.
202; in this way, the bottle will not
be connected to the compressor
and no sealing fluid will be injected.

118) affix the adhesive label in an
easy-to-see position for the driver
as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
119) If the pressure has fallen below
1.8 bar, do not drive any further:
the automatic Fix&Go automatic
quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee the correct hold
because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
120) Inform the Dealership that the
tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit. Give the
booklet to the personnel charged
with handling the treated tyre.
IMPORTANT
28) Punctures caused by foreign
bodies can be repaired if the
damage does not exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of
the tyre.
IMPORTANT
2) Do not dispose of the can or the
sealing fluid as household waste.
Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and
local regulations.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately
if warning light
stays on
constantly on the instrument panel.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to
start the engine using an auxiliary
battery with the same capacity or a
little higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the
vehicle fig. 204:
❒connect the positive terminals (+
mark near the terminal) of the two
batteries using a suitable lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point
on the
engine or the gearbox of the vehicle
to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the
order above.
If after a few attempts the engine
does not start, do not persist but
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
183

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come
out of the battery. If the auxiliary
battery is installed on another
vehicle, avoid any metal parts on the
latter and the vehicle with the flat
battery from accidentally coming
into contact.
29)
121)
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting
downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake booster and the electric
power steering system are
not active until the engine is started,
so you will need to apply much
more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
IMPORTANT
29) Never use a fast battery-charger
for emergency starting of the
engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and fuel
supply control units.
WARNING
121) This procedure must be
performed by qualified personnel
as incorrect actions may cause
high-intensity electrical discharge.
Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the
battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.
