Amber warning lights
Warning light What it means
iTPMS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly (together with a message on
the display) to indicate that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system goes back to normal
operation when the operating conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the "Reset" procedure
after restoring the normal operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on continuously to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the
recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration and
fuel consumption may not be guaranteed. It is advisable to restore the correct pressure value (see the
"Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical specifications" section).
Once the normal operating conditions of the vehicle are restored, carry out the "Reset" procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" SYSTEM DEACTIVATED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when the City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" system is deactivated
through the Setup menu. On some versions, the activation/deactivation of the system is indicated by a
message shown on the display.

Driving in special conditions
In certain driving conditions, such as,
for example: driving around a bend (see
fig. 63) / small vehicles and/or vehicles
not aligned with the driving lane (see fig.
64) / lane change by other vehicles
(see fig. 65) the system operation might
be unexpected or delayed. Pay the
utmost attention, keeping control of the
vehicle to drive in complete safety.
iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring
System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
44) 45) 46) 47) 48) 49)
The iTPMS can monitor the tyre inflation
status through the wheel speed
sensors. The system warns the driver if
one or more tyres are flat by switching
on the warning light
on the
instrument panel and a warning
message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is in any case
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the "Reset" procedure is carried out.
"Reset" procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length dependingon the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driven on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the "Reset"
procedure is carried out.
The "Reset" procedure must be carried
out:
❒each time tyre pressure is modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the "Reset"
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" chapter).
If the "Reset" procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the "Reset" procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
❒briefly press the
button fig. 65a:
the display will show "Reset";
❒press the
button or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
63F0Y0320C
64F0Y0321C
65F0Y0322C
69
❒briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Confirm";
❒press the
button or the
button to select ("Yes" to "Reset"
or "No" to exit the screen);

120)Vehicle handling is modified with the
space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. The overall duration
of the space-saver wheel is about 3000
km, after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a standard tyre on a rim
that is designed for use with a space-saver
wheel. Have the wheel repaired and refitted
as soon as possible. Using two or more
space-saver wheels at the same time
is forbidden. Do not grease the threads of
the stud bolts before fitting them: they
might slip out when driving.
121)The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as raising other car models. Never
use the jack for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) tyre is punctured and chains
are needed, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. This way, with two
standard front driving wheels, you can
install the snow chains on them.
122)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.123)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, the ignition
key must be extracted, taking care not to
turn it in the wrong direction to facilitate the
extraction of the key itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being released and
the wheel assembly not being securely
retained.
WARNING
63)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel stud bolts checked.

luggage compartment (for
versions/markets where provided) and
operate the compressor, turning switch
A to positionI(on).
❒inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" section. Check tyre
pressure on gauge B with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
❒if after five minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.8 bar, disengage
the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. ten metres in order
to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Fiat Dealership;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
engage the handbrakeand park
safely;
❒if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with the engine running and
the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with great care to the
nearest Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
124)Punctures on the sides of the tire may
not be repaired. Do not use the Fix&Go
Automatic kit if the tyre was damaged as a
result of being used when underinflated.
125)Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Fix&Go Automatic kit.
126)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
Fix&Go Automatic kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not exceed
80 km/h. Avoid sudden acceleration or
braking.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL
150)70) 71)4)
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick A. If the oil level is near or even
under the MIN mark, add oil using the
filler B to reach the MAX mark. Take out
the engine oil dipstick A, clean it with
a lint-free cloth and reinsert it. Extract
the engine oil dipstick again and check
that the level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick. On 0.9
TwinAir Turbo 105 HP versions,
unscrew the cap, clean the dipstick
with a lint-free cloth, reinsert the
dipstick and screw the cap back on.
Unscrew the cap again and check that
the engine oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption: the
maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 k m .
ENGINE COOLANT
151)72)If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir C and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
152) 153)
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
"Technical Specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system will not operate when the fluid
level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. On some
versions there is a reference notch on
the dipstick: ONLY the windscreen/rear
window washer operates with the
level below this reference.
BRAKE FLUID
154) 155)73)
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
DUALOGIC GEARBOX
CONTROL OIL
5)The gearbox control oil level should only
be checked at a Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
156) 157) 158) 159)6)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water. A periodic check carried out at
a Fiat Dealership is, however, necessary
to check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
