TEMPERATURE (red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light turns on when
the engine is overheated. If the warning light comes
on, proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally:stop the car, switch off
the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait
for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and
check that the level is between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir. Also check visually for
any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning
light switches on again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒If the car is used under demanding
conditions(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on, stop
the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to further favour
the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine.
Check the correct coolant level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable
to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before switching it off.

FUEL RESERVE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light turns on when
8-10 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to indicate
a system failure. If this is the case, go to the Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.EOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned
to MAR-ON the warning light switches on, but
should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst
driving, it means that the injection system is not
working properly; in particular, if the warning light
comes on constantly, this indicates a malfunction in
the supply/ignition system that could cause excessive
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance,
poor driveability and high fuel consumption.The display will show the dedicated message.
Under these conditions, you may continue travelling
at moderate speed without demanding excessive
effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause damage: contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault disappears,
but the notification is stored in the system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible if the
warning light either does
notswitchonwhenthekeyisturnedto
MAR-ON or if while driving the warning light
switches on either constantly or flashes (along
with a message and a symbol on the display
on some versions).The operation of warning light
may be checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Comply with the laws and
regulations of the country where you are driving.

IN AN EMERGENCY
STARTING THE ENGINEContact a Fiat Dealership immediately if instrument
panel warning light
stays on constantly.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using
an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a
little higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒connect the positive terminals (sign + near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead
fig. 122❒with a second lead, connect the negative terminal
– of the auxiliary battery to an earth point
on
the engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do
not persist but contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite
explosive gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another car, prevent
accidental contact between metallic parts of the two
cars.
Never use a fast batter y-charger to star t
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car, particularly
the ignition and fuel supply control units.

WARNING
Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and then to STOP without
removing it .The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed and
the wheels cannot be steered.

assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available, greater
force needs to be exerted on the brake pedal
and more effort is required on the steering
wheel. Do not use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. During towing,
make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.When
towing the car, it is compulsor y to respect
specific highway code regulations relating to
the tow hook and procedures for towing on the
road.
WARNING
Do not star t the engine while towing the
car.

External plastic parts must be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees; the
resinous substance that many species release give the
paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility
of triggering rusting processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute the environment .
Therefore the engine compartment should
be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used in the
washing process.
Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner
products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently
with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.Engine compartment
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.
petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.
