FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light turns on but should go 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 blink to indicate a sys-
tem failure. If this happens, go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked. DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions with DPF
– amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
turns on but should go off after a few seconds. The warn-
ing light stays on constantly to notify the driver that the
DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants (par-
ticulate) by the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
notification to the driver.
The warning light will go off if the vehicle stays in motion
until regeneration has been completed. The process nor-
mally takes about 15 minutes. Optimum conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at
60 km/h with engine revs above 2000 rpm.
If this warning light comes on, it does not mean the vehi-
cle is defective, so there is no need to take it to a garage.
A specific message will appear on the display when the
warning light comes on (for versions/markets where pro-
vided).
h
ç
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine may be turned off while the DPF
light is on; however, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in premature degra-
dation of the engine oil. For this reason, it is always
advisable to wait for the light to go off before turn-
ing off the engine, following the instructions ap-
pearing above. It is recommended to complete DPF
regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on perma-
nently, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with an equal or slightly higher capacity
than the flat one.
IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency, we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet. You can
also go to the www.fiat.com website to find your nearest Fiat Dealership.
To do so, proceed as follows (fig. 128):
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the termi-
nal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–)
of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point Eon the
engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine.
❒when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
keep trying but contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two vehicles.

INDEXStrictly avoid using a rapid battery charg-
er for jump starting: this could damage the
system electronics and the ignition and en-
gine supply control units.
This procedure must be performed by ex-
perts because incorrect actions may cause
considerable electrical discharge. Furthermore,
battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lit cigarettes away from the battery. Do not cre-
ate sparks.
WARNING
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill. This could cause fuel to flow into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake booster and the
power steering system are not active until the engine is
started, so you will need to apply much more force to
the brake pedal or steering wheel.
CHANGING A TYRE
The vehicle is originally equipped with the Fix&Go quick
tyre repair kit (see instructions in the next section). As
an alternative, the vehicle may have a normal-sized spare
wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel call for some precautions, as listed below.

INDEXThe spare wheel (where provided) is
specifically for your vehicle. Therefore, it
must not be used on other models. Do not use
spare wheels of other models on your vehicle. The
spare wheel should be used only in an emergency.
Use it as little as possible.
WARNING
Use your hazard lights, warning triangle,
etc to show that your car is stationary.
Passengers should get out of the car, particularly
if it is heavily loaded, and wait for the wheel to
be changed away from the traffic. If you are on
a steep slope or uneven surface, place wedges or
other suitable objects under the wheels to secure
the vehicle. Repair and refit the standard wheel
as soon as possible. Do not grease the bolt threads
before you fit them, because they could sudden-
ly come loose.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace wheels on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on oth-
er vehicles of the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting other models.
Never use the jack to carry out repairs under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than the one shown on its label.
WARNING
Incorrect hub cap assembly may cause it
to come off when the car is moving. Nev-
er tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between the rim and the
tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel pressures regu-
larly, referring to the values shown in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section.

INDEXImportant notes:
❒ the jack weighs 4 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired; if it breaks, it must be re-
placed with a new one of the same type;
❒no tool other than the cranking handle may be fitted
on the jack.
To change a tyre, proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position where it is not a danger
for other traffic and where you can replace the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat and solid;
❒turn the engine off and engage the handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by law)
before getting out of the vehicle;
❒ indicate that the vehicle is parked up by using the de-
vices required by law in the country in which you are
travelling (e.g. warning triangle, hazard lights etc.);
❒for Cargo versions fig. 129: move the left front seat
forwards using lever A to take the tool box and place
it near the tyre to be changed;❒for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig. 130: open the rear
doors and take the tool box from the compartment in
the rear right side panel by releasing the elastic strap
from the buckle; place the tool box near the tyre to
be changed;
