automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This also applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed.7)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and safety,
cause the lapse of warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the vehicle with
type approval requirements.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when
the key is removed from the ignition
device.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna
built into the ignition device. The
signal, which changes each time the
engine is started, is the “password”,
by means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.

Cylinder certification
The methane cylinders are certified in
accordance with ECE Regulation no.
110.
The cylinders must be inspected, in
accordance with ECE Regulation
Procedure no. 110, every 4 years from
the vehicle registration date or in
accordance with specific regulations in
individual countries.PETROL/METHANE
SWITCH
This engine normally runs on methane
except during starting when it runs
on petrol. Switching to methane takes
place automatically and is shown on
the instrument panel display by
switching off the
signal in the display.
Methane fuel reserve
The level of methane in the cylinders is
indicated by the four vertical bars
near the word CNG on the instrument
panel display fig. 91. When the residual
amount of methane is lower than 1/5
of the capacity of the cylinders, the first
level and the edges of the bars of the
other 3 levels flash until the next
methane refuelling. A specific message
will appear on the display in addition
to an acoustic warning.
If the methane has run out, switching to
petrol takes place automatically:
for Euro 5 versions: on the
instrument panel display, first level plus
edges of the bars of the other three
levels keep blinking and the indicator
lights up near the CNG icon.
for Euro 6 versions: on the display,
all the empty segments stop flashing
and then the
indicator near the CNG
icon turns on.
If you specifically wish to run on petrol,
press the dedicated button fig. 87
located on the central tunnel. The LED
on the button switching on indicates
that the request for switching has taken
place correctly.
The actual change to the chosen fuel
system takes place depending on
the vehicle usage conditions to
guarantee switching in absolute safety
and will be confirmed by the
warning
light in the instrument panel display
coming on/going off.
In addition, in the case of starting at
outside temperatures of below around
-10°C, the switching times from Petrol
to Methane increase to allow the
pressure regulator/reduction unit to
become warm enough.
IMPORTANT If switching takes place
during acceleration or pick-up, there
may be a brief flat spot (drop in power).

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic warning.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. In the event of a failure
indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the digital warning light switches on, but it should
switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with the message in the display
when the system detects that the engine oil pressure is insufficient.
13)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a message on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided) when the system detects that the engine oil
has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the vehicle is faulty, but simply
informs the driver that it is now necessary to change the engine oil as a result of
regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, warning light
will also come on
and engine operation is limited to 3000 rpm when a second threshold is reached.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration threshold is reached, the
engine is limited to 1500 rpm to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
47) 48)
Remember that the
deterioration of the engine oil
is accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the
vehicle which makes the DPF
regeneration process more
frequent
– use of the vehicle for short
trips, preventing the engine
from reaching operating
temperature
– repeated interruption of the
regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning
light coming on.

SBR SYSTEM
This system comprises an acoustic
warning which, in conjunction with the
warning lights
flashing on the
instrument panel, warns the front seat
passengers if their seat belt has not
been fastened.
On some versions there is also a panel
fig. 104 (provided as an alternative to
the warning light on the instrument
panel) located above the rear-view
mirror, which warns the front and back
seat passengers via acoustic and
visual signals if their seat belts have not
been fastened.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to deactivate
this acoustic warning permanently.
The acoustic warning can be
reactivated at any time through the
Setup menu (see "Menu items"
paragraph in "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).The warning lights fig. 104 may be red
or green and operate as follows:
1 = front left seat (driver status for
left-hand drive versions)
2 = front right seat (passenger
status for left-hand drive versions);
3 = second row left rear seat
(passenger);
4 = second row central rear seat
(passenger);
5 = second row right rear seat
(passenger);
6 = third row left rear seat
(passenger);
7 = third row right rear seat
(passenger);FRONT SEATS (warning
light 1 = driver and 2 =
passenger)
Driver
If the driver is the only occupant and
the seat belt is not fastened, when 20
km/h is exceeded or when travelling
at a speed from 10 to 20 km/h for
longer than 5 seconds, a buzzer
sequence will be started (front seats)
consisting of a tone for 6 seconds
followed by a 90 second beep.The
warning light will blink. The warning
lights will stay on constantly at the end
of the cycle until the engine is stopped.
The acoustic warning will be interrupted
immediately when the driver’s seat
belt is fastened and the warning light
will turn green. The reminder cycle
(acoustic and visual) will be repeated as
described above and the red warning
light will flash if the seat belt is
unfastened again while driving.
Passenger
A similar solution applies for the front
passenger, with the difference that the
warning light turns green and the
warning is interrupted also when the
passenger leaves the car.

EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
stays on steadily, you can perform
an emergency start by using the code
on the CODE card (see the “In an
emergency” section).
22)
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the
engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a long drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.
WARNING
91)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
WARNING
18)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive accelerations, long distances at
top rpm, excessive intense braking, etc.)
as soon as the engine is started.19)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
20)If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates an
anomaly in the glow plug preheating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
21)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by a buzzer.
22)Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
PARKING THE
VEHICLE
HANDBRAKE

DESCRIPTION
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal). The indication
continues until the pressure
corresponds to or exceeds that
specified for cold tyres. After the
automatic update of the system, the
tyre pressure control warning light
switches off. You may need to drive the
vehicle for about 20 minutes at a speed
higher than 20 km/h to allow the
TPMS to receive this information.
Tyre pressure must always be adjusted
according to the cold inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the vehicle stand
for at least three hours or a travel
shorter than 1.6 km after an interval of
three hours.
