Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
86) 87) 88) 89) 90) 91) 92) 93) 94)
DESCRIPTION
The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns the driver of low tyre
pressure on the basis of the cold
inflation pressure prescribed for the
vehicle.
Changes in outside temperature
may cause tyre pressure to vary.
This means that a decrease in the
outside temperature corresponds to
a decrease in the tyre pressure.
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.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.The tyre pressure also increases
while driving the vehicle: this is
a normal condition and does not
require any adjustment of the
pressure.
NOTE❒The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
❒Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while
adjusting the tyre inflation pressure.
❒Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance
of the vehicle.
❒The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with a
suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not
cause the tyre pressure control
warning light to switch on.
144
STARTING AND DRIVING

❒The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal
pressure loss of the tyre.
❒The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices
with electronic sensors mounted on
the wheel rims to constantly monitor
the value of tyre pressure. The
sensors mounted on each wheel as
part of the valve stem transmit
various information of the tyres to
the receiver module, in order to
calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in
all four tyres are particularly
important.
Tyre pressure
monitoring system low
pressure warning
The system warns the driver if one
or more tyres are flat by switching
on the warning light
on the
instrument panel (together with a
warning message and an acoustic
signal).The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure
condition until this is corrected; the
warning continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the
pressure prescribed for the cold
tyres. When the tyre low pressure
control warning light
switches on
constantly, the inflation pressure
must be adjusted until it reaches the
pressure prescribed 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.
IMPORTANT In the case of deflation
of more than one tyre sequentially,
without switching off and on the
engine, from the second tyre
involved the acoustic signal is not
activated, only the dedicated signal
is shown on the display.To prevent the signal from being
stored in the event of pressure loss
of a subsequent tyre (with
deactivation of the acoustic signal),
the ignition key must be turned to
MAR and then to STOP, each time
pressure is restored.
TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes
for 75 seconds and then stays
on steadily. This can occur in any of
the following situations:
❒interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
❒Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
❒Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
❒Use of snow chains.
❒Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
❒The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure
control sensor. Therefore, the tyre
pressure is not controlled by the
system.
145

89) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm
tyres, do not reduce pressure
even if it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the
check when tyres are cold.
90) The TPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding
abrupt steering.
91) The system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them.
92) Insufficient tyre inflation
increases fuel consumption,
reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity to drive
safely.
93) Always refit the valve stem cap
after inspecting or adjusting tyre
pressure. This prevents dampness
or dirt from entering the valve
stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being
damaged.94) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go)
provided with the vehicle (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original
kit may adversely affect its
operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one
are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensor operation
checked by a qualified repair
centre.SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a
speed limitation function that can be
set at the user's request to one of
four predefined values: 90, 100,
110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker will
be applied to the windscreen
showing the top speed setting.
IMPORTANT The speedometer
could indicate a higher maximum
speed than the effective one, set by
the Dealership, in accordance with
the regulations in force.
147

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
The vehicle must be equipped with
a type-approved tow hook and
adequate electrical system to tow
trailers. Installation should be carried
out by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a
trailer, steep hills are harder to climb,
braking spaces increase and
overtaking takes longer depending
on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly
using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the
vehicle tow hook will reduce the
loading capacity of the vehicle by
the same amount.To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded
(given in the vehicle registration
document) account should be taken
of the fully laden trailer, including
accessories and luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits
specific to each country you are
driving in, in the case of vehicles
towing trailers. In any case, the top
speed must not exceed 80 km/h.
99) 100)
WARNING
99) The ABS device with which the
vehicle is equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
100) Never modify the braking
system of the vehicle to control
the trailer brake. The trailer
braking system must be fully
independent from the hydraulic
system of the vehicle.
SNOW TYRES
Fiat Dealerships will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyres for the
customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used,
inflation pressures and the
specifications of snow tyres, follow
the instructions given in the
"Wheels" paragraph of the
"Technical specifications" section.
The winter features of these tyres
are reduced considerably when the
tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace
them in this case.
Due to snow tyre characteristics,
under normal conditions of use
or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower
than that of standard tyres. Limit
performance according to the use
for which they were approved.
156
STARTING AND DRIVING

❒reposition the tool bag behind the left
side seat (Cargo versions) or, resting
the bottom of the bag against the
side panel, in the compartment inside
the rear right side (Doblò/Doblò
Combi versions).
WARNING
108) The 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
must be used only in an
emergency. Use of the spare
wheel must kept to the minimum
necessary.109) Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your
vehicle is stationary according to
the regulations in force.
Passengers should get out of the
vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel
to be changed away from the
traffic. If you are on a slope or
uneven surface, place wedges or
other suitable objects under the
wheels to secure the vehicle.
Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Do
not apply grease to the bolt
threads before assembly: they
might spontaneously unscrew.
110) Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with which
it is supplied or on other 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
those shown on the label.111) Incorrect hub cap assembly
may cause it to come off when the
vehicle is moving. Never tamper
with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre
and spare wheel pressures
regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

SPRAY NOZZLES
If the jet is not coming out, firstly
check that there is fluid in the
windscreen/rear window reservoir
(for versions/markets where
provided) (see “Checking levels” in
this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to
unblock them if necessary.
Windscreen (washer)
The window washer nozzles are
fixed. The nozzle holders are located
under the bonnet (see fig. 218).Rear window (washer)
The rear window washer jets are
fixed. The nozzle holder is located
above the rear window.
WARNING
138) Driving with worn windscreen
wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in
bad weather conditions.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to
increase when the vehicle is used;
for the correct tyre inflation pressure,
see “Wheels” in the “Technical
specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 219:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
218F0V0091219F0V0161
213

The tyres must be replaced when
the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick.
In any case, follow the laws in force
in the country you are in.
IMPORTANT
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes
or other hard obstacles. Driving for
long stretches over bumpy roads can
damage the tyres;
❒periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if required;
❒avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
❒tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the side walls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare wheel
very carefully;❒in the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping them
on the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of
rotation.
139) 140) 141) 142)
WARNING
139) Remember that the road
holding qualities of your vehicle
also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
140) If tyre pressure is too low, the
tire may overheat and be severely
damaged as a result.
141) Do not switch tyres from the
right­hand side of the vehicle to
the left­hand side, and vice versa.142) Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring
the use of temperatures
exceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
