The presence of water in the supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If warning light
clights up (on some
versions with the message on the display),
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system bled. If the same message is
displayed immediately after refuelling, water may
have entered the tank: turn the engine off
immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Multijet
versions – amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON
position the warning light comes on but should
go out after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when there is water in the
diesel fuel filter.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.

VEHICLE PROTECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE – FIAT CODE
(amber)
Turning the key to MAR-ON the warning light
will flash only once and then go off.
When the warning light comes on constantly, with key
in MAR-ON, this indicates:
❒a potential fault (refer to “The Fiat CODE system”
paragraph in the section “Dashboard and controls”);
❒a possible theft attempt with an alarm; in this case
the warning light goes off after approximately
10 seconds.
If with the engine running the warning light
Yflashes,
the vehicle is not protected by the engine inhibitor
device (see “Fiat Code system” in section “Dashboard
and controls”).
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have all the keys
reprogrammed.

REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel (for versions/markets where provided) call for
some precautions, which are listed below. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒raise the flap A to gain access to the positive battery
terminal fig. 163.
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒connect the negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to the earth point with a second cable as
shown in fig. 164;
❒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
persist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of the battery.
If the auxiliary battery is installed on another vehicle,
prevent any metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally coming into
contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system are not activated until the engine
is started, a greater effort will therefore be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.Indicate that the vehicle is stationary
according to the regulations in force:
emergency lights, refracting warning triangle,
etc. Passengers should leave the vehicle,
particularly if it is very loaded, and wait for the
wheel to be changed away from on-coming
traffic. Apply the handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel (for versions/markets
where provided) is specific for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be used on
vehicles of a different model. Do not use spare
wheels of different models on your vehicle. The
wheel bolts are specific to your vehicle: do not
use them on other models and do not use bolts
of other models.

DEMANDING VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of the following
particularly harsh conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in
the case of long term inactivity;
❒urban driving;
the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check pollen filter and replace it, if required;
❒check air cleaner and replace it, if required.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top-up the following:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine oil
level.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have been designed and
produced specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Capacities”
in the “Technical specifications” section).

POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 230
Check that the liquid contained in the tank is at the
maximum level. This operation must be carried out with
the vehicle level and with the engine off and cold. Check
that the fluid level is up to the MAX mark on the
dipstick attached to the fuel cap (use the level shown on
the 20°C side of the dipstick to check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is lower than the
specified level, top up using only one of the products
indicated in the “Fluid and lubricants” table in the
“Technical specifications” section, proceeding as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the level of fluid in the
tank to stabilise.
❒With the engine running, turn the steering wheel
from right to left fully, several times.

Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the
system checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure
there are no leaks.
Do not press the power steering end of
travel lock for longer than 8 consecutive
seconds with the engine running because
it will cause noise and risk damaging the system.
❒Top up the fuel to the MAX level and then retighten
the cap.
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: the liquid is flammable.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”
in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in
the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks.
Careful inspections are therefore necessary.Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre will get
overheated, with the risk of serious
damage.
WARNING
Avoid moving the tyres from the right
side of the vehicle to the left side and
vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150 °C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be impaired.
