IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning
light A will flash to indicate a fault in the system. If
this is the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant
fluid and starts working 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.
Warning light B fig. 14 may switch on (together with
a message on the display) to indicate that the coolant
temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.If the needle for the engine coolant
temperature reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

.
It is advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on while standing in queues or in tunnels to prevent
the introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly
if there are several passengers on board, to prevent
the windows from steaming up.
IMPORTANT The internal air recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required heating
or cooling conditions more quickly. Do not use the
internal air recirculation function on rainy/cold
days to avoid the possibility of the windows misting.
DEMISTING/DEFROSTING OF HEATED
REAR WINDSCREEN AND DOOR MIRRORS

Press button
fig. 47 to activate the function. The
LED on the button comes on to indicate activation.
Press
again to disable the function in advance.IMPORTANT Do not apply stickers on the inside of
the rear window over the heating filaments to avoid
damage that might cause it to stop working properly.
SUPPLEMENTARY HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device warms up the passenger compartment
more quickly when it is very cold and the engine
coolant temperature is low.
The additional heater comes on automatically when
the engine is started, if knob A is turned to the
last red sector and the fan (knob C) is at least at the
first speed level.
The additional heater turns off automatically after
reaching the required comfort conditions.
IMPORTANT The heater will not turn on if the
battery voltage is too low.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the
procedure.
If the
warning light remains on together with
warning light
when the ignition key is at MAR,
turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light stays on, try with the other keys
provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine, perform an
emergency start (see “Emergency starting” in the “In
an emergency” section) and go to a Fiat Dealership.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
apply the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
turn the key on (MAR position): instrument panel
warning light
will light up;
wait for the warning lightsandto go out.
The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will
happen;
press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the
warning light goes out. Waiting too long will
waste the heating work carried out by the glow
plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.IMPORTANT With the engine cold, the accelerator
pedal must be fully released when you turn the
ignition key to AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the
procedure.
If the
warning light stays on when the ignition key
is at MAR, turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if the engine still does not
start.
Warning lightwill blink for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged
cranking to indicate a fault to the glow
plug heating system. Use the vehicle normally if
the engine starts, but go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
do not demand to performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge
starts moving.

on.
AIR BAG FAULT (red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a
fault in the air bag system.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
WARNING
The warning lightmay not light up
when the key is turned to MAR or stay
on while travelling to indicate a retaining
system fault . In this case, the air bags or the
pretensioners may not be activated in the case
of an accident or (more seldom) they may be
activated incorrectly. Contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
The failure of thewarning light is
indicated by the
warning light flashing
or, depending on the version, by the
symbol
constantly on in the display. In this case, the
warning light may not indicate a fault in the
restraint systems. Before continuing, contact
a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
EXCESSIVE ENGINE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
(red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is
overheated.
If the warning light switches on, proceed as follows:
When driving normally: stop the car, switch off
the engine and check that the coolant 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 reservoir cap. Top up with
coolant, making sure that the level of fluid is
between the MIN and MAX references on the
reservoir. Also check visually for leaks. If, when
restarting, the warning light switches on again,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions
(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow
down and, if the light stays on, stop the vehicle.
Stop for two or three minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to assist better
coolant circulation. Then switch the engine off.
Check correct fluid level in the vessel as described
above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding journeys, it
is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before switching it off.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, 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.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
GEARBOX FAILURE (red)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light flashes (together with a message in
the display and an acoustic signal) to indicate that
the gearbox is faulty.
The warning light can switch on even in case of
transmission overheating, after a particularly
demanding use. In this case an engine performance
limitation is carried out.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
DPF (PARTICULATE TRAP)
CLEANING UNDERWAY (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly to notify the
