WARNING
The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. Small sized
vehicles (e.g. bicycles or motorbikes) or people,
animals and things (e.g. pushchairs) and more in
general all those obstacles with a low reflection
of the light emitted by the laser (e.g. vehicles
soiled with mud) are not taken into
consideration.If a trailer or a car is towed the system
must be deactivated with the display
Setup Menu (see paragraph "Menu
items" in this chapter).
WARNING
If the car must be placed on a roller
bench (at a speed within 5 and 30 km/h)
for maintenance interventions or if it is washed
in an automatic roller washing tunnel with an
obstacle in the front part (e.g. another car, a
wall or another obstacle), the system may
detect its presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated with the display
setup menu (see paragraph “Menu items”
in this chapter).
EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
carries out a continuous diagnosis of the
components of the car related to emissions. It also
alerts the driver about component deterioration
by switching on the warning light on the instrument
panel and the displaying of a relevant message (for
versions/markets, where provided) (see the chapter
“Warning lights and messages”).
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace damaged components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that can
be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read the
error codes stored in the control unit together with
a series of specific parameters for engine operation
and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to check
the system completely, Fiat Dealerships run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which may also
call for a long journey.

LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on but should switch off as soon as
the engine is started (with the engine idling, a brief
delay is acceptable).
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a message
and a symbol on the display) remains on constantly
or flashing, contact a Fiat Dealership.ON CONSTANTLY: LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
ON FLASHING: ENGINE OIL
DETERIORATED
(only Diesel versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on but should switch off as soon as
the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together
(for versions/markets, where provided) with a
message on the display when the system detects that
the engine oil pressure is too low.
WARNING
If the
warning light switches on
when driving (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
2. Engine oil deteriorated
(only Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will
appear on the display (in versions/markets, where
provided). The warning light flashes for 3 minute
cycles with the warning light off for intervals of
5 seconds until oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
warning light will continue flashing as described
above until the oil is changed. The display shows a
dedicated message (for versions/markets, where
provided) together with the warning light.
The flashing of this warning light should not be
considered as a fault; it informs the customer that
the oil needs to be changed following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil
is accelerated by:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent;
135GETTING TO KNOW

INDEX

❒use of the car for short drives, in which the engine
does not have time to reach its regular operating
temperature;
❒repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light switching on.
WARNING
If the warning light switches on, the
deteriorated engine oil must be changed
as soon as possible, and never more than 500
km from the first time that the warning light
switches on. Failure to observe the above may
result in severe damage to the engine and
invalidate the warranty. Remember that the
operation of this warning light is not related to
the amount of oil in the engine.Therefore,
never top up with oil when the light starts
flashing.EXCESSIVE ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE (red)
Turning the key to MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on (on some versions,
with a message on the display and a symbol on
the display) when the engine is overheated.If the warning light comes on when driving, proceed
as follows:
❒when driving normally:stop the car, stop the
engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait
for a few minutes for the engine to cool down
then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with
coolant and check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks. Also check visually for any
fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light
should switch on again, contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the car is used under demanding
conditions(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on, stop
the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to further favour
the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine.
Check the correct liquid level as described above.
IMPORTANT On demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a
few minutes before stopping it.
FUEL RESERVE - LIMITED RANGE
(amber)
This warning light comes on when about 5 to 7 litres
of fuel are left in the tank. When the remaining
range is lower than approx. 50 km (or equivalent
value in miles), on some versions, the display will
show a warning message.

IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the
steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way
from one end to the other or drive in a straight line
for about a hundred metres.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
This warning light switches on when the ignition key
is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a
few seconds. The warning light (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) switches on constantly to notify the driver
that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.
The warning light does not switch on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified. To switch the
warning light off, the car must be kept in motion
until the regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
Optimal conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine revs
above 2000 rpm.
If this light switches on, it does not mean that the
car is defective, so there is no need to take it to
a garage. A specific message will appear on thedisplay when the warning light comes on (for
versions/markets, where provided).
WARNING
The driving speed must always be
suitable for traffic and weather
conditions and the driver must always comply
with the Highway Code.The engine can be
stopped even if the DPF warning light is on;
however, repeated interruptions of the
regeneration process could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason,
always wait until the warning light switches
off before stopping the engine as described
above. It is not advisable to complete DPF
regeneration with the car stationar y.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
(amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on in the following
circumstances. In these cases contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the fault eliminated as soon as
