TPMS FIAT BRAVO 2013 2.G Owners Manual

WARNING
Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key
from the ignition switch to operate the
steering lock, particularly when the wheels do
not touch the ground. If this is not possible
(for example if the key needs to be turned to
MAR-ON or the engine must be running),
remove the main fuse that protects the
electric power steering.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM TPMS(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be fitted with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS), which informs the
driver of the tyre inflation status via the "Check
tyre pressure" and "Low tyre pressure" messages
on the display. For a detailed description of the two
messages, see "Warning lights and messages"
chapter. This system comprises a radio frequency
transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
inside the tyre), which is able to send information
on the tyre inflation pressure of each wheel to
the control unit.
WARNING
The presence of TPMS does not
exonerate the driver from regularly
checking the pressure of the tyres and the
spare wheel (see "Wheels" in the
"Maintenance and care" chapter).
WARNING
Sensor malfunctioning fault indications are not
stored and will therefore not be displayed after the
engine has been switched off and then on again. If
the fault conditions persist, the control unit will

send the relative indications to the instrument
panel only after the vehicle has been in motion for a
short time.
Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres rested
and cold. Should it become necessary for whatever
reason to check pressure with warm tyres, do
not reduce pressure even though it is higher than
the prescribed value, but repeat the check when
tyres are cold (see "Wheels" in the "Technical data"
chapter).
The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure
drops (for example when a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the car, braking with caution and avoiding
abrupt steering.
Strong radio-frequency interference could inhibit
the correct operation of the TPMS. This condition
is indicated to the driver by the
warning light
or the symbol lighting up on the instrument panel
together with a message on the display. The
message will disappear automatically as soon as the
interference ceases to affect the system.
The TPMS requires the use of specific equipment.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to find out which
accessories are compatible with the system
(wheels, hub caps, etc.). Using other accessories
may hinder the normal operation of the system.
Given the valve unique specifications, only use
Fiat-approved sealers to repair the tyres. The use of
other sealers may affect the normal operation of
the system.If the vehicle is fitted with TPMS, when a tyre is
removed, it is advisable to replace the rubber
gasket for the valve as well as the ring nut fixing the
sensor. Have this operation performed at a Fiat
Dealership.
If the "punctured tyre" indication persists on the
instrument panel after the initial conditions have
been restored using the Fix&Go Automatic tyre
repair kit, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Changes in outside temperature may cause tyre
pressures to vary. The TPMS may temporarily
indicate insufficient pressure. In this case, check the
tyre pressure when cold and, if necessary, restore
the inflation values.
If the vehicle is fitted with TPMS, tyre and/or rims
fitting/removal operations require specific
precautions. To avoid damaging the sensors or
fitting them incorrectly, tyre and/or rims
fitting/removal operations should be carried out
only by specialists. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

The display shows the dedicated message.
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when a failure is detected in the engine
oil pressure sensor.
Start&Stop failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
(versions with multifunction display)
The warning light comes on when a failure is
detected in the Start&Stop system. The display
shows the dedicated message.
Dusk sensor failure
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when a failure is detected in the dusk
sensor. The display shows the dedicated message.Preset speed limit exceeded (for Arab
countries only)
This warning light (amber), or symbol on the display
(red), switches on when the preset speed limit of
120 km/h is exceeded.
Rain sensor failure
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when a failure is detected in the rain
sensor. The display shows the dedicated message.
Parking sensor failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when a parking sensor failure
is detected.
Tyre pressure monitoring system failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when a TPMS failure is detected.
Should one or more wheels without a sensor be
fitted, the instrument panel warning light will come
on and stay on until the initial conditions are
restored. The display shows the dedicated message.
NoteIf one of the above mentioned failures
occurs, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.

TPMS FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the display shows a message and
an amber symbol when a tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) fault is detected: in this case,
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Should one or more wheels be fitted without
sensors, the display will show a warning message
until initial conditions are restored.INSUFFICIENT TYRE PRESSURE
(amber-red) / CHECK TYRE
PRESSURE (amber) / TYRE
PRESSURE UNSUITABLE FOR
SPEED (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off
after a few seconds.
Insufficient tyre pressure
The warning light (amber), or symbol in the display
(red), switch on when the inflation pressure of
one or more tyres falls below a preset level. In this
way the TPMS warns the driver that one or more
tyres may be dangerously flat and liable to
puncture.IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be compromised.
Stop the car, avoiding harsh braking and steering
manoeuvres. Replace the wheel immediately with
the space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided) or carry out a repair using the dedicated
kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the "In an
emergency" chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
Check tyre pressure
This warning light (or symbol in the display)
switches on in the instrument panel to indicate that
the tyre pressure is below the value recommended
to guarantee long tyre life and low fuel
consumption. It may also indicate a slow loss of
pressure.
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence.
Restore correct tyre pressures as soon as possible
(see “Cold tyre pressures” in the “Technical data”
chapter).
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should you need to travel at a speed higher than
160 km/h, inflate the tyres to the pressures
specified in “Tyre pressures” paragraph.
If the TPMS system (for versions/markets where
provided) detects that the pressure of one or more
tyres is unsuitable for the current speed, the
177GETTING TO KNOW

warning light will turn on (together with the
message on the display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in
this chapter) and it will stay on until the car slows
down to a speed below the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down immediately
since tyre overheating could impair tyre
performance and life beyond repair, and even make
the tyre to blow-out.
WARNING
Particularly strong radio frequency
interference may cause the TPMS to
function incorrectly.This condition is indicated
to the driver by a message (for versions/
markets where provided).The message will
disappear automatically as soon as the
interference ceases to affect the system.EXTERNAL LIGHT FAILURE
(amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when a failure is detected in any of the
following lights:
❒side lights
❒brake (stop) lights or corresponding fuse (see the
description provided for this symbol
).❒rear fog lights
❒direction indicators
❒number plate lights.
The failure relating to these lights could be: one or
more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a
break in the electrical connection.
The display will show the dedicated message.
BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE (amber)
The symbol switches on in the display when a
failure is detected in the brake (stop) lights.
The failure relating to these lights could be: one or
more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a
break in the electrical connection.
On certain versions warning light
comes on
instead.
REAR FOG LIGHTS (amber)
The warning light switches on when the rear fog
lights are activated.
