❒vehicle in motion, for example when driving on hilly
roads;
❒stopping the engine through the Start&Stop system for
more than about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for establishing a
comfortable temperature or enabling the MAX – DEF
function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can only be automatical-
ly restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal. The dri-
ver is asked to perform this operation through the warn-
ing light flashing in the instrument panel fig. 103 and, where
provided, the message in the display.
N.B.: If the clutch is not depressed when the three min-
utes have elapsed since the engine was stopped, the en-
gine can only be restarted using the key.
N.B.: If you stall the engine, for example by releasing off
the clutch pedal quickly with gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be restart-
ed by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by putting the
gear lever into neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the Start&Stop sys-
tem, if the driver unfastens his/her seat belt and opens the
driver’s side door or the passenger’s side door, the engine
can only be restarted using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition by a buzzer, through
the warning light flashing in the instrument panel fig. 103
and, where provided, by a message in the display.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided). To close
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise
until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the
flap.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure
in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes
near to the fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep
your face away from the fuel tank open-
ing to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, inte-
gral with the exhaust system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
It is needed to eliminate almost all carbon particles in com-
pliance with current/future legislation. During normal use
of the vehicle, the engine management control unit records
a set of data (e.g. journey time, type of route, tempera-
tures, etc.) and it will then calculate how much particu-
late has been trapped by the filter.Since the filter is a collecting system, it should be regular-
ly regenerated (cleaned) by burning the carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled automatically by
the engine management control unit according to the fil-
ter conditions and vehicle use conditions.
During regeneration, the following may occur: a limited in-
crease in the engine speed, activation of the fan, a limited
increase in fumes and high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not impair vehicle perfor-
mance or damage the environment. If the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed, refer to the “Warning lights and mes-
sages” section.

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 no-
tification 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 re-
generation 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.

The presence of water in the fuel supply cir-
cuit may cause severe damage to the in-
jection system and irregular engine opera-
tion. If warning light
ccomes on (with a message
on the display on some versions), go to a Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.

HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is primarily used in one of the following
particularly onerous conditions:
❒ towing trailers;
❒ dusty roads;
❒ short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at sub-ze-
ro temperatures;
❒ frequently idling engine or long-distance, low-speed dri-
ving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or lengthy inactivi-
ty;
❒ driving in towns and cities;
you should perform the following inspections more fre-
quently than shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒ check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, and clean-
liness and lubrication of linkages;
❒ visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes),
rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒ check battery charge and fluid level (electrolite) (check
to be carried out only by specialists or at a Fiat Deal-
ership – see the “Battery” paragraph in this section);
❒ visually inspect the condition of the accessory drive
belts;
❒ check pollen filter and replace, if required;
❒ check and, if necessary, replace air filter.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top up:
❒ engine coolant fluid level;
❒ brake fluid level;
❒ windscreen washer level;
❒ tyre pressure and conditions.
❒ operation of lighting system (headlights, direction in-
dicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒ operation of windscreen washer/wipers system and po-
sitioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper blades
(for versions/markets where provided);
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level every
3,000 km.
You are recommended to use
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS
products, which have been designed and produced specif-
ically for Fiat vehicles (see “Capacities” table in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section).

ENGINE OIL fig. 180-181-182-183-184
Check the oil level a few minutes after stopping the engine
(about 5 minutes) with the vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds
to about one litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil through
the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
The engine needs to run in when the vehicle is new, and
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption depends on driving style
and conditions of use of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check the level.

get burned. Remember that the fan may start up
if the engine is hot: this could injure you. Make
sure that scarves, ties and other items of loose-fit-
ting clothing do not get caught up in moving com-
ponents.
WARNING
Do not add oil with different characteris-
tics from those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that are harmful to
the environment. It is advisable to have oil
and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership, where they
will be disposed of properly and in accordance with
the law.
