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 is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the

The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to inform the

regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
that the driver is notified. The warning light will go off if

completed. On average, the process lasts 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.

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

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.

(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
77) 78) 79)The Driving Advisor is a warning system
that notifies the driver if he/she crosses
the lane because he/she has been
distracted.
A video sensor, fitted on the windscreen
near the interior rear view mirror,
detects the lane demarcation lines and
the position of the vehicle in relation
to them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving
Advisor, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership should the windscreen
need to be replaced. If the repair is
carried out at a specialist window
replacement centre, it is still necessary
to go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
camera calibrated.
OPERATION
The system is always active when the
vehicle is started. It can be deactivated
or re-activated by pressing the button
A fig. 85 on the dashboard (see
following description).
The LED on the button switches on to
confirm that the system has been

appears on the display.When the system is activated, the LED
on the dedicated button is off. If the
user deactivates the system, the LED
on the button switches on constantly
and a dedicated message appears
on the display to confirm that the
system has been switched off.
The system is enabled each time the
vehicle key is cycled and starts
recognition of the operating conditions
(condition signalled to the driver when
the 2 direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel turn on).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes active,
i.e. it can assist the driver with visual
and acoustic warnings. Therefore, the
two direction warning lights
and
on the instrument panel turn off to
prevent excessively frequent warnings
while driving in towns or on winding
roads at low speeds.IMPORTANT If the operating conditions
are no longer present, the system
remains activated but inactive.
Therefore, the driver is warned by the 2
direction warning lights
andon
the instrument panel turning on
continuously.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
FOR ACTIVATION
Once switched on, the system
becomes active only if the following
conditions are met:
front driving direction (reverse not
engaged);
the system does not detect any
error;
calibration in progress;
vehicle speed between 60 km/h and
the max. vehicle speed;
presence of lane demarcation lines
not deteriorated and visible on both
sides;
suitable visibility conditions;
straight line or wide radius bends;
sufficient field of vision condition
(safety distance from vehicle in front);
direction indicators not activated
in the lane exiting direction (e.g. right
lane exiting direction, right direction
indicator activated);

Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger

provided) are activated again, the
warning light turns off.
When the vehicle is started (key in MAR
position), the LED turns on for approx.
8 seconds, provided that at least 5
seconds have elapsed from the
previous switching off. If not, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is switched off/on again in
less than 5 seconds the LED may
remain off. In this case, to check
correct LED operation, switch the
vehicle off, wait at least 5 seconds and
switch on again.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.
