What it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light
comes on, but should go out 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.
8)
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.
46) 47)
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.

What it means What to do
amberDPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING UNDERWAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to inform the
driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate the
trapped pollutants (particulate) through the
regeneration process.
A specific message will appear on the display when
the warning light comes on (for versions/markets,
where provided).The warning light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
that the driver is notified. The warning light will go off if
the vehicle stays in motion until regeneration has been
completed. The process normally 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 there is a vehicle defect, so there is no
need to take it to a garage.
10)
48)
amberESC-ASR SYSTEM / TRACTION PLUS FAILURE
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.
Flashing of the warning light while driving indicates the
intervention of the ESC system.If the warning light does not switch off, or stays on
when travelling, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Hill Holder failure
The warning light will turn on when the Hill Holder
system is faulty.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
amberBRAKE PAD WEAR
The warning light switches on if the front or rear brake
pads are worn.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.Have them replaced as soon as possible.
72
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

What it means What to do
amberTPMS SYSTEM
TPMS failure
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and
then stays on constantly (along with a dedicated
message on the display) to indicate that the system is
temporarily deactivated or faulty.In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible
Tyre pressure low
The warning light turns on to indicate that the pressure
of one or more tyres is lower than the recommended
value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In
these circumstances, optimal tyre duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.In this case it is advisable to restore the correct
pressure value.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tyres as vehicle handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
WARNING
48)The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic and weather conditions and the driver must always comply with the Highway Code.
The engine may be stopped if the DPF light is on; however, repeated interruption of the regeneration process may result in premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before stopping the engine as described above.
It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
WARNING
9)If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on, switches on constantly or flashes when driving (on
certain versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
10)During regeneration, the fan could be operated.

WARNING
LUGGAGE CARRIER
Follow the instructions contained in the assembly kit carefully. Assembly must be performed by qualified personnel.
After travelling for a few kilometres, check to ensure that the fixing screws for the attachments are well tightened. Distribute the load
evenly and pay attention to side winds when driving.
Fully comply with the regulations in force concerning maximum clearance. Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter
"Technical specifications").
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and
affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The Diesel particulate filter (DPF) reaches high temperatures during normal operation. Therefore, do not park the vehicle on flammable
material (grass, dry leaves, pine needles etc.): fire hazard.
RIM PROTECTOR TYRES
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with a Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
