STOP/START SYSTEM
HANDLING
The dual-zone automatic climate
control manages the Stop/Start system
(engine off and vehicle at a standstill)
in order to guarantee sufficient comfort
inside the vehicle.
IMPORTANT In particularly severe
climate conditions it is recommended to
limit the use of the Stop/Start system
to prevent the compressor from
continuously switching on and off, with
consequent rapid misting of the
windows and accumulation of humidity
with unpleasant smells in the passenger
compartment.
IMPORTANT When the Stop/Start
system is on (engine off and vehicle at a
standstill), the automatic recirculation
management is turned off always taking
air in from outside, to reduce the
probability of the windows misting up
(as the compressor is off).
WARNING
19)It is inadvisable to use internal air
recirculation when the outside temperature
is low, since the windows could mist up
rapidly.
WARNING
5)The climate control system detects the
passenger compartment temperature
using a mean radiant temperature sensor
located in the interior rear view mirror
and protected by a specific cover.
Obstructing the field of view of this sensor
with any object could cause the climate
control system to operate with less than
optimal efficiency.
WARNING
2)The system uses R134a coolant which
does not pollute the environment in the
event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances use R12 fluid, which is
incompatible with the components of the
system.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS
The ignition key has to be in the MAR
position for the exterior lights to come
on.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL)
"Daytime Running Lights"
(for versions/markets, where provided)

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. 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 The failure indicators appearing on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious faults.
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 failure is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
LOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
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. On some versions, a message is displayed along with a symbol. Restore the
brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on when the handbrake is engaged. If the vehicle is
moving the buzzer will also sound. Release the handbrake, then check that the warning light has switched
off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when the vehicle is in motion, check that the handbrake is not
on.

Warning light What it means
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights andESCwith the engine
on indicates either a fault of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. On certain versions a
dedicated message is displayed.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
LOW BATTERY CHARGE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
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.
DOORS/BONNET/LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

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.

Warning light What it means
INJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst driving (on some versions together with the display of a
message and a symbol), the injection system is not working properly.
Warning light on constantly: signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system that could cause high
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption. Under these
conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort
from the engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the warning light on constantly may cause
damage: contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Warning light on and flashing (for petrol engines only): it reports a possible damage to the catalytic
converter. Release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops
flashing. Continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further
flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
