A message will appear on the
display when the Start&Stop
system is activated. In this
condition, the LED on the
button
is off.Start&Stop system

ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
18)
With the device activated, for
reasons of comfort, limiting
emissions and safety, the engine
does not stop in certain conditions,
including:
❒engine still cold;
❒particularly cold external
temperatures, if the corresponding
indication is provided;❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration in
progress (diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);
❒automatic climate control, if a
suitable thermal comfort level has not
yet been reached or MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system;
❒if the Hill Descent Control system is
active.
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting
harmful emissions and safety
purposes, the power unit
can restart automatically without
any action by the driver if certain
conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);

❒vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine
can be automatically restarted only
by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
NoteIf the engine stops and this is
not desired, due for example to the
clutch pedal being released sharply
with a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is active, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by placing the gear lever in
neutral.
NoteIf the clutch is not pressed, when
approx. three minutes have elapsed
since the engine was stopped, the
engine can only be restarted using the
key.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions
through the Start&Stop system, if
the driver unfastens his/her seat
belt and opens the driver's door or
the passenger door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the
key. The driver is notified of this
condition by a buzzer, through the
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where
provided, by a message in the
display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver
does not take any action for a
period of about 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system will
definitively stop the engine to avoid
fuel consumption. The engine
can only be started using the key in
such cases.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR
OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Start&Stop system is deactivated.
The driver is informed about the
fault through the switching on of the
icon together with a message
on the display. In this case, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
In the event of vehicle inactivity,
special attention must be paid to
the disconnection of the battery
power supply. Proceed as follows:
detach connector A fig. 134 (by
pressing button B) from sensor C
for monitoring the status of the
battery installed on the negative
battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the
pole except if the battery is
replaced.
87) 88)
IMPORTANT After turning the
ignition key to STOP, wait at least 1
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
93)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the
exhaust system, that physically
traps carbon particles present in
the exhaust gases of diesel
engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all
particulates in compliance with
current / future legal regulations.During normal use of the vehicle,
the Powertrain Control Module
records a set of data (travel time,
type of route, temperatures
reached etc.) and calculates how
much particulate has been trapped
by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning carbon
particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the
Powertrain Control Module
according to the filter conditions
and vehicle usage conditions.
During regeneration, the following
may occur: a limited increase in the
engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or
damage the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed,
refer to paragraph "Warning lights
and messages".
WARNING
93) The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during
normal operation. Do not park
the vehicle on flammable material
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles
etc.): fire hazard.

SPEEDOMETER
(speed indicator)
Indicator A shows the speed of the
car.
REV COUNTER
Indicator C shows the engine revs.
IMPORTANT The electronic
injection control system gradually
shuts off the flow of fuel when
the engine is over-revving, resulting
in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the
rev counter may indicate a gradual
or sudden increase of the speed.
This is normal and does not
indicate a fault. It may be caused,
for example, by the activation of the
climate control system or fan. In
these cases, a slow change in revs
is used to protect the battery
charge.FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Needle E shows the amount of fuel
left in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in
paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this
chapter).
The warning light on the indicator
switches on when there are about
10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with
tank capacity 90-120 l) or 10 l (for
versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly
empty to prevent damaging the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point
to E and the warning light will
flash to indicate a fault in the
system. If this is the case, go to a
Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to
activate the additional Webasto
heater in reserve conditions.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle D shows the
temperature of the engine coolant
and starts supplying indications
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C. In normal use, the
needle could assume different
positions within the scale,
depending on the usage
conditions.
C - Low engine coolant
temperature.
H - High engine coolant
temperature.
The warning light on the indicator
may light up (and a message on the
display may appear on certain
versions) to indicate that the
coolant fluid temperature is too
high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
GAUGE
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The gauge provides a graphic
indication of the level of oil in the
engine.
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the display fig. 146 -
fig. 147 shows the oil level by
lighting up / switching off five
symbols.
The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil
level.Four or five symbols light up to
indicate a sufficient level of oil in the
sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit,
this does not indicate a fault or that
insufficient oil is present in the
sump.
If the oil level is lower than the
minimum required value, the display
shows a dedicated message
indicating minimum engine oil level
and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct
oil quantity, always check using
the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section
“Maintenance and care”).After a few seconds, the symbol
display indicating the amount
of engine oil disappears and:
❒When the next scheduled servicing
intervention is approaching, the
time to the next service is displayed
and the õ symbol lights up on the
display. When the service date is
reached, the display shows a
dedicated message;
❒Later on, if the time for changing the
engine oil is getting close, the
distance until the next oil change will
appear on the display. When the
service interval has expired a
dedicated warning will be shown on
the display.
IMPORTANT
20) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
