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.

are other people in the vehicle.
ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
ADBLUE (UREA)
The vehicle is equipped with a Selective
Catalytic Reduction system to meet
the strict Diesel emissions standards
required by the Agency for
Environmental Protection.
The purpose of the system of Selective
Catalytic Reduction is to reduce the
nitrogen oxides levels emitted by
engines; these elements are harmful to
our health and to the environment
even at minimum levels. A small
amount of additive for Diesel emissions
AdBlue (UREA) is injected upstream
of the catalyst exhaust outlet where,
when it turns into gas, converts
nitrogen oxides, that create smog, in
simple nitrogen and water vapour, two
natural components of air we breathe.
You can use your vehicle with the
peace of mind of knowing that you are
contributing to a cleaner and healthy
environment for future generations.

IMPORTANT
❒When the gun distributor fuel "snaps"
or interrupts the supply, the tank is
nearly full and you can run two
additional top-ups after shooting
automatic.

Topping for additive Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA)
96)
When refuelling the additive for Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA) with
dispensing gun:
❒park the vehicle on ground level;
❒turn off the engine by turning the key
in the OFF position;
❒open the door to fuel A fig. 141 and
then unscrew and remove the cap C
fig. 141 from the filler neck of UREA;
❒insert the dispensing gun for topping
up UREA in the filler neck;
❒immediately stop filling the tank
UREA if it shows one of the cases
listed below:
- If AdBlue is spilled out of the filler
neck, clean up well the area and
proceed to filling up again;- If during filling the dispensing gun
clicks, it indicates that the UREA tank is
full. Do not proceed with the
replacement, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue (UREA).
❒When you finished topping, remount
cap C fig. 141 on the filler neck
UREA, turning it clockwise until it
stops;
❒turn the key in the pawl starter in the
ON position (no need to start the
engine);
❒wait for the signal on the instrument
panel to power off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay
on for a few seconds to half a
minute. In case of motor start-up and
movement of the vehicle, the
warning sign will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are
no problems on the engine
functionality. If topping up is done
with the UREA tank empty, you have
to wait two minutes before starting
the vehicle.
When refuelling the additive for Diesel
Emissions AdBlue (UREA) with bottle:
❒park the vehicle on ground level;
❒turn off the engine by turning the key
in the OFF position;❒open the door to fuel A fig. 141 and
then unscrew and remove the cap C

❒if during the topping up, the level of
AdBlue in the bottle does not drop,
it means that you have reached
the full tank, therefore proceed pulling
the bottle towards you in order to
re-lock the safety valve of the bottle
and unscrew the bottle from the
filler (fig. 142, ref. 3);
❒after removing the bottle remount
cap C fig. 141 on the filler neck
UREA, turning it clockwise until it
stops;
❒turn the key in the pawl starter in the
ON position (no need to start the
engine);
❒wait for the signal on the instrument
panel to power off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay
on for a few seconds to half a
minute. In case of motor start-up and
movement of the vehicle, the
warning sign will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are
no problems on the engine
functionality;
❒If topping up is done with the UREA
tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle;NoteThe driving conditions (altitude,
vehicle speed, load, etc.) determine the
quantity of UREA used by the vehicle.
In order to use the additive for Diesel
Emissions (UREA) correctly, see "Fluids
and lubricants" in the "Technical data".
IMPORTANT
❒Exceeding the maximum filling
level of the tank UREA, it can
cause damage to the tank and
spilling UREA. Please avoid
topping up after filling the tank.
❒DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL. The UREA freezes at
under -11 ° C. Although the
system is designed to operate
below the freezing point of the
UREA, it is advisable not to fill the
tank beyond the maximum level
because if the UREA freezes
the system can be damaged.
❒If the UREA is spilled on painted
surfaces or aluminium,
immediately clean the area with
water and use absorbent material
to collect the fluid that has been
spilled on the ground.
❒Do not try to start the engine if
UREA was accidentally added
to the diesel fuel tank, this can
result in serious engine damage,
contact Dealership.❒Use AdBlue only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other
fluids may cause damage to the
system: also exhaust emissions
would no longer comply with
the law. The distribution
companies are responsible for
the compliance of their product.
Observe the precautions of
storage and maintenance, in
order to preserve the initial
qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognize any
guarantee in case of
malfunctions and damage caused
to the vehicle due to the use of
urea (AdBlue) not in accordance
with regulations.
❒Any introduction of diesel fuel
inside the tank AdBlue, causes
irreversible damage to the
pumping unit circuit AdBlue.
❒Do not add additives to AdBlue.
Do not dilute AdBlue with tap
water as this may damage the
system of purification of exhaust
gases.

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.

Warning lights on
displayWhat it means What to do
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
TOO HIGH
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the
warning light switches on but should switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light
turns on when the engine is overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir is
not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to
cool down then slowly and carefully open the cap, top
up with coolant and check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir. Also check
visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the
warning light switches on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
in high-performance driving): slow down and, if the
warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running and slightly
accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation,
then stop the engine. Check the correct coolant level as
described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.
redLOW BATTERY CHARGE
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, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.

22) If thewarning light switches on when driving, stop the engine immediately and contact an Fiat Dealership.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberINJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON the warning light switches on, but it should
switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The operation of warning light
may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the
laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.23)
If the warning light stays on or switches on when driving,
it means that the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning light comes on
constantly, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/
ignition system that could cause excessive exhaust
emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor
driveability and high fuel consumption.
On some versions, the display shows the dedicated
message.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction
disappears, but it is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, you may continue
travelling at a moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on constantly may cause
damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
