Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after en-
gine start-up.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, a fault in the supply/igni-
tion system has occurred, which could
cause high emissions at the exhaust, pos-
sible lack of performance, poor handling
and high fuel consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
In these conditions, the vehicle can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed with-
out demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.EOBD engine
control system failure
Under normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after en-
gine start-up.
This indicates that the warning light is
working correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on during vehicle
travel, the following applies.
❒Steady light: indicates a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, possible
reduced performances, poor drivabili-
ty and high fuel consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
In these conditions, the vehicle can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed with-
out demanding excessive effort from
the engine or high speeds. Prolonged
use of the vehicle with the warning light
on may cause damage. Go to a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the
fault is cleared, and the indication is
stored in the system.❒Flashing light: indicates the possibility of
damage to the catalyst (see “EOBD sys-
tem” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).
If the warning light flashes, release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at mod-
erate speed, trying to avoid driving con-
ditions that may cause further flashing
and contact the Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light Udoes not light up
when the key is turned to
MAR or if, while travelling, the warning
light comes on either steady or blinking
(along with a message on the display).
The operation of the warning light U
may be checked by the traffic police us-
ing specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are dri-
ving.

❒If at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-
store proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart.
❒Drive with the utmost care to the near-
est Fiat Dealership.FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for
restoring pressure only. Release the quick
coupling and connect directly to the tyre
valve fig. 20; in this way, the cylinder will
not be connected to the compressor and
no sealant will be injected. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-
lows:
❒disconnect connection B-fig. 21;
❒turn the cylinder anticlockwise to raise
and replace it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;
❒plug connection Binto the cylinder and
fit the transparent tube Ainto the
proper space.
Stop the vehicle if the pres-
sure has dropped below 1.8
bars. The automatic Fix & Go fast re-
pair kit cannot work properly be-
cause the tyre is excessively damaged.
Go to a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remember to inform the
workshop that the tyre has
been treated with a fast repair kit.
Give the instruction booklet to the
tyre repair workshop personnel.

IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the vehicle is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using engine
oil of the same type as that already in the
engine.
ENGINE OIL fig. 3-4
Engine oil check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5)
after the engine has stopped, with the ve-
hicle parked on level ground.
Extract the test rod Aand clean it. Then,
put it back all the way down and extract
it again to check that the level ranges be-
tween the MINand MAXlevels on the
rod. The range between the MINand
MAXlevels corresponds to approxi-
mately 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under the
MINline, add oil through the filler Bto
reach the MAXline.
Oil level must never exceed the MAX
line.
Proceed very carefully inside
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: risk of burns.
Remember that the electric fan may
start up if the engine is hot: risk of in-
jury. Pay attention to scarves, ties and
other loose fitting garments: they may
be dragged by moving parts.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil and oil
filter contain substances
which are dangerous for the
environment. For oil and filter
changing, we recommend contacting a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level results
above the MAXlevel after the check, go
to the Fiat Dealership for restoring the
correct level.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs
to be run in. Therefore, the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.
