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).
REAR CAMERA (PARKVIEW®
REAR BACK UP CAMERA)(for versions/markets, where provided)
The camera is located on the tailgate fig. 119.
CAMERA ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The camera is activated/deactivated through the
"Settings" menu of Uconnect™ 5" Radio or,
depending on the versions of the Uconnect™ 5"
Radio Nav (see "Safety/Assistance" in the "More
mode" paragraph).
When the camera is activated, whenever reverse is
engaged the display shows the image of the car
rear area fig. 120.
The image is displayed, together with a warning
message: after a few seconds, the message
disappears.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNERIf after buying the car, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case burden the electric supply, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides
suggesting the most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate the overall
electric consumption, checking whether the car's
electrical system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
WARNING
Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard
wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of
the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp,
repeated braking or on long descents. Make
sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke
(mats, etc .)INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the car in the context of after-sales service must
carry the label (see fig. 125):
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. authorises the
installation of transceiver devices on condition that
such installations are carried out in a workmanlike
fashion, following the manufacturer’s instructions, at
a specialised centre.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow the car on
the road if devices have been installed which modify
the features of the car. This may also cause
invalidation of warranty in relation to faults caused
by the change either directly or indirectly related
to it.
Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A. shall not be liable for
damage caused by the installation of accessories
either not supplied or recommended by Fiat Group
Automobiles S.p.A. and/or not installed in
compliance with the provided instructions.

LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the ignition key is moved 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 can be expected).
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.CONTINUOUSLY ON: LOW
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE (red)
ON FLASHING: ENGINE OIL
DETERIORATED
(only Diesel versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the warning
light switches on but should switch off as soon as
the engine is started.
1. Insufficient 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
turns on whilst
driving (on cer tain 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 dedicated message
will appear on the display (for versions/markets,
where provided).
The warning light may flash in the following ways,
depending on the version:
❒1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning
light off for 5 seconds until the 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. On some versions, the
display shows a dedicated message together with
the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be
considered as a fault, it simply 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;
❒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 coming 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.The activation of this
warning light is not related to the amount of oil
in the engine.Therefore, never top up with oil
when the warning light starts flashing.
HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position illuminates
the warning light, but it should switch off after a
few seconds.The warning light switches on (on some versions
together with a message 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, switch off
the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait
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 on the reservoir. Also check visually for
any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning
light comes on again, contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the vehicle 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 coolant level as described
above. Should the level of fluid be too low, top up
(for the quantity and type of fluid to use, see
the description in the "Refuelling" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter).
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable
to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before switching it off.

WARNING
Vehicle travel speed should always be
adapted to the traffic and weather
conditions, and must always comply with traffic
regulations.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, it is always advisable to wait
for the warning light to go off before turning
the engine off, following the instructions
appearing above. Do not complete the DPF
regeneration process when the vehicle is
stopped.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION

(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on (together with a
message on the display) in the event of fuel cut-off
system intervention/fault.

WARNING
Do not tr y to recharge a frozen batter y;
defrost it first to prevent the risk of
explosion. If the battery was frozen, have it
inspected by specialised technicians before
recharging to check that the internal elements
are not damaged and that the casing is not
cracked, which could cause poisonous, corrosive
acid to leak.
RAISING THE CARIf the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership
which is equipped with arm hoists or workshop lifts.
WARNING
The vehicle must only be raised laterally
by placing the ends of the arms or
workshop lift in the shown areas fig. 206 and
fig. 207 (for lifting the rear side).Take special care when positioning the
arm lifts or the workshop lift in order not
to damage the aerodynamic spoilers
and the side skirts, if any.
