2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where
provided). Depending on the versions, the warning light
flashing modes are as follows:
– one minute every two hours;
– for three minute cycles with the warning light off for
intervals of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start up the
warning light will continue flashing as above described
until the oil is changed. For versions/markets where
provided, the display shows a dedicated message
together with the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the
vehicle is defective, but simply informs the driver that it
is now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular
vehicle use.
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. LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should go
out as soon as the engine has started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief delay before going
out is acceptable).
If the warning light stays on constantly or keeps flashing:
contact immediately Fiat Dealership.
w
LIGHT STAYS ON: LOW ENGINE OIL

1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly
along with a message on the display (for versions/
markets where provided) when the system detects that
engine oil pressure is low.
v
If the warning light vturns on when
the car is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
