Automatic main beam headlights(where provided)
In order not to disturb other road users,
the main beam headlights are
automatically deactivated when
approaching vehicles travelling in the
opposite direction or when following a
vehicle travelling in the same direction.
This function can be set through the
display menu (see the instructions
in the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter); the light
switch ring nut must be turned to
AUTO to activate.
The function is activated by pushing the
stalk toward the dashboard (stable
position); the
warning light comes
on in the instrument panel. The
warning light will also come on in
the instrument panel with main beam
headlights on. If the vehicle is turned off
with the setting described previously,
the automatic main beam headlight
function will need a new resetting: bring
back the stalk in the centre position
and then press it again towards the
instrument panel.
When the speed is higher than 40 km/h
and the function is active, if the stalk
is brought again to the stable central
position the function deactivates and
the main beam headlights turn off.When the speed is lower than 15 km/h
and the function is active, the system
automatically switches the main beam
headlights off.
If the stalk is moved from the stable
central position and pushed again
towards the dashboard in the stable
position, this is interpreted as a request
for fixed main beam headlights: the
warning light comes on in the
instrument panel and the main beam
headlights turn on until vehicle speed
exceeds 40 km/h again. When this
threshold is exceeded the function
activates again automatically and the
warning light comes on again
in the instrument panel.
To deactivate this function, rotate the
light switch ring nut to the
position.
DIRECTION INDICATORSBring left stalk A fig. 28 to the (stable)
position:
upwards: activates the right direction
indicator;
downwards: activates the left direction
indicator.
The
or
warning light respectively
will flash on the instrument panel.
The direction indicators switch
off automatically when the steering
wheel is straightened or when the
daytime running lights (DRL)/parking
lights are activated.
"Lane Change" functionIf you wish to signal a lane change while
running, place the left stalk in the
unstable position for less than half a
second.
The direction indicator on the side
selected will flash five times and then
switch off automatically.HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT

Symbol What it means
AUTOMATIC MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the automatic main beam headlights. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (diesel versions)
The symbol switches on constantly when driving (along with a message in the display), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel filter.
18)
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
that the driver is notified. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is
over. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to a
workshop.
19)
WARNING
18)The presence of water in the fuel supply system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation.
If the
symbol is displayed contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on
immediately after refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: switch the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
19)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 symbol to go off before turning off the engine,
following the instructions above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
