from the moving roof either by per-
sonal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being injured by it di-
rectly.

If the car has been stolen or
an attempt to steal it has
been made, if it has been subjected to
vandals or floods, have the air bag
system checked by Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap, in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig-
gered.
WARNING
Life and validity of pyrotech-
nic charge and coil contact
are indicated on the label located in-
side the lower oddment compart-
ment. As this date approaches, con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have them re-
placed.
WARNING
If when turning the ignition
key to MAR, the warning
light ¬does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling (together with the
message on the display) there could
be a failure in safety systems; in this
event air bags or pretensioners could
not trigger in case of impact or, in a
minor number of cases, they could
trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
WARNING

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and
minimize polluting emissions of CO
2and
other pollutants (nitric oxide, unburnt hy-
drocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.

The warning light comes on con-
stantly with the vehicle stationary if the
driver’s seat belt is not properly fastened.
The warning light will flash, together with
a buzzer, when the driver’s seat belt and,
on some versions, the passenger seat belt,
is not correctly fastened when the vehicle
is in motion.
The S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) buzzer
can only be excluded by Fiat Dealership.
The system can be reactivated through the
set-up menu.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) turns on,
but it should go out as soon as the engine
is started (with the engine running at idle
speed a brief delay in going out is allowed).
If the warning light (or the symbol on the
display) stays on glowing steadily or flash-
ing, contact immediately Fiat Dealership.Light stays on: LOW

Flashing light:
EXHAUSTED ENGINE
OIL (only Multijet
versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the warning light switches on and should
go out as soon as the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on
constantly (for versions/markets, where
provided) along with the message on the
display when the system detects that en-
gine oil pressure is low.

2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided). The
warning light may flash in the following
ways, depending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning
light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil
is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the en-
gine is started up, the warning light will
continue to flash in the above mentioned
modes, until the oil is changed. A specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided) in ad-
dition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not
mean that the car is defective but simply
informs the driver that it is now necessary
to change the oil as a result of regular ve-
hicle use.
If the warning light vturns on when the vehicle
is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the dis-
play) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Turning the ignition key to MAR
the warning light turns on, but it should go
off after few seconds.
If the warning light (or the symbol on the

ACTIVATION
(green or symbol

The warning light (or the word CITY on
the display) turns on when the “Du-
aldrive” electric power steering is activat-
ed by pressing the relevant control but-
ton. Pressing the button again will turn off
the word CITY.
CITY
Exhausted engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes
on, never more than 1,000 km af-
ter the warning light first comes on.
Failure to change the oil within the
first 1,000 km may result in severe
damage to the engine and will result
in forfeiture of the warranty.
Remember that when the warning
light flashes, it does not mean that
the level of engine oil is low, so if the
light flashes you must not top up.
WARNING
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster
under the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city dri-
ving, requiring more frequent regenera-
tion of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time to
reach its regular operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regenera-
tion process, signalled by the DPF warn-
ing light coming on.
