(for versions/markets, where provided)
The G.S.I. system (Gear Shift Indicator)
advises the drives when to shift gear
via a dedicated indication on the
instrument panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the G.S.I. is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, and when the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon is displayed, the G.S.I. is
advising the driver to engage a lower
gear.
IMPORTANT The indication in the
display remains on until the driver shifts
gear or the driving conditions go back
to a situation where gearshifting is
not required to improve consumption.

WARNING
8)If thewarning light switches on when driving, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
What it means What to do
amberEOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to
MAR the warning light switches on, but it should
switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the
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.9)
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
vehicle with the warning light on may cause damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
63

What it means What to do
amberUREA INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE
The warning light switches on, together with a
dedicated message on the display (for versions/
markets, where provided) if a fluid not conforming with
the nominal characteristics is inserted o if an average
consumption of UREA over 50% is detected.Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
If the fault is not resolved, a further warning will be
given at the following remaining km before the vehicle
restart will be prevented:
400 km
320 km
240 km
When 200 km will remain to prevent the engine restart,
a continuous dedicated message will appear on the
dashboard (for versions/markets, where provided)
accompanied by an acoustic warning sound
amberABS FAILURE
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 to indicate a system
fault. In this case the braking system maintains its
efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the
ABS system. The display shows the dedicated
message.Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
amberFUEL RESERVE
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 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.The warning light will blink to indicate a system fault. If
this is the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
system checked.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

What it means What to do
amberTPMS
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
47)Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. 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.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
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
68)The TPMS is optimised for the original
tyres and wheels provided. TPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
is equipped with TPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
69)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
70)The TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
71)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
72)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.73)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
74)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect your ability to drive the
vehicle safely.
75)Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure. This
prevents dampness or dirt from entering
the valve stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being damaged.
76)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original one are
used, it is recommended to have the
TPMS sensors checked by a qualified
repair centre.

SAFETY

START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary and all the
conditions for automatic switch-off
have been met, and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
Versions with mechanical gearbox
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
Restarting the engine
Versions with mechanical gearbox
Depress the clutch pedal to restart
the engine.MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION OF
THE SYSTEM
To activate/deactivate the system
manually, press the
button on the
dashboard control panel.
24)
118) 119)
WARNING
24)If the vehicle is equipped with manual
climate control, if you want to favour
climate comfort, the Start&Stop system
can be deactivated for continuous climate
control system operation.
WARNING
118)The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed
or turned to the STOP position. When
refuelling, make sure that the car is
switched off with the key in the STOP
position.
119)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. The
replacement battery should be of the same
type (L6 105Ah/850A) and should have
the same characteristics.
CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic driving aid that
allows you to drive at a speed of
above 30 km/h on long and straight
dry roads with few driving changes
(e.g. motorways) at a preset speed
without having to press the
accelerator pedal. It is therefore not
recommended to use this device
on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do
not use the device in town.
Turning the device on
Turn the ring A fig. 110 - fig. 111 to the
ON position or
(depending on the
version).
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in 1st or reverse gear. It is advisable
to engage it in 4th or higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the vehicle speed may
slightly exceed the stored one.

SAVING FUEL
GENERAL INFORMATION
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Tyres
Unnecessary loads
Roof rack/ski rack
Electric devices
Climate control system
Devices for aerodynamic control
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when stopped at
traffic lights or before switching off the
engine.Gear selection
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption increases
considerably with speed.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
The main usage conditions that
negatively affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach
optimum operating temperature.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy traffic, for
instance when travelling in queues
with frequent use of the lower gears or
in cities with many traffic lights. Winding
mountain roads and rough road
surfaces also adversely affect
consumption.Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.

TECHNICAL DATA

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives.
These consumption values refer to basic vehicles without optionals.
The following procedures are used to measure the fuel consumption:
urban cycle: begins with cold starting, followed by driving simulating the use of the vehicle in town;
extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed
varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the
extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, climate control system, vehicle load, roof rack, other situations that affect aerodynamics or air
drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
