What it means What to do
amberEOBD ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM FAILURE
(petrol versions)
This indicates that the warning light is working
correctly. If the warning light stays on or turns on when
travelling:
fixed: this means there is a fault in the supply/
ignition system which could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor handling and
high fuel consumption levels. On some versions the
display shows the dedicated message. 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.
blinking: this indicates possible damage to the
catalytic converter (see “EOBD system” in the
“Knowing the instrument panel” chapter). If the light is
on and blinking, release the accelerator pedal to lower
the speed of the engine until the warning light stops
flashing.If the light is fixed, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible. The warning light switches off if the
malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the
system.
If the light is blinking: continue the journey at moderate
speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may
cause further flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
amberUREA INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE (Diesel versions)
The warning light switches on, together with a
dedicated message on the instrument panel (for
versions/markets, where provided) if a fluid not
conforming with the nominal characteristics is poured
in or if average UREA consumption over 50% is
detected.Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
If the problem is not solved, a specific message will
appear on the instrument panel display whenever a
certain threshold is reached until it will no longer be
possible to start the engine.
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.

What it means What to do
GEAR SHIFT INDICATION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On vehicles with a manual transmission, the gear shift
indicator suggests gear changes to the driver (SHIFT
UP or SHIFT DOWN) via a special display on the
instrument panel. This suggestion to change gear is
designed to improve consumption and ensure the best
driving style.
NOTE The indication in the instrument panel remains
on until the driver shifts gear or the driving conditions
go back to a situation where gearshifting is not
required to improve consumption.

43)The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it; you
should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
44)If only the
instrument panel
warning light comes on (with a message in
the multifunction display on some
versions), stop the vehicle immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Any
loss of fluid will affect the brake system
functionality, both conventional and
ant-lock wheels.
ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the event of
tyre grip loss, helping to maintain
directional control. The system
is capable of recognising potentially
dangerous situations in terms of vehicle
stability and intervenes automatically
on the brakes in a differentiated manner
for the four wheels in order to provide
a stabilizing torque.
The ESC system switches on
automatically when the engine is
started and cannot be switched off.
The ESC system also includes the
following systems:
Hill Holder
ASR
MSR
HBA
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of the
warning light in the instrument panel,
to inform the driver that the vehicle is
in critical stability and grip conditions.Switching the system on
The ESC system is automatically
activated when the vehicle is started
and cannot be deactivated.
Fault warnings
In the event of a failure, the ESC will be
automatically switched off and the
warning light
will come on constantly
in the instrument panel along with a
message in the multifunction display
(for versions/markets where provided)
(see “Warning lights and messages”
section in the "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter). Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
45) 46) 47)
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It is an integral part of the ESC system
and facilitates starting on an incline.
It is automatically activated in the
following conditions:
uphill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%, engine
running, brake pedal pressed and
gearbox in neutral or gear other than
reverse;
downhill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%, engine
running, brake pedal pressed and
reverse gear engaged.

52)Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to
the road conditions, visibility and traffic.
The driver is always responsible for road
safety.
53)The HBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
54)The HBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
55)The capability of the HBA must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.iTPMS System
(indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System iTPMS can monitor the tyre
inflation status through the wheel speed
sensors. The system warns the driver
if one or more tyres are flat by switching
on the
warning light on the
instrument panel and a warning
message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
It is advisable to check the pressure of
all four tyres. This indication is displayed
also when turning the engine off and
on until the “Reset” procedure is carried
out.
“Reset” procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the “Reset”
procedure is carried out.
The “Reset” procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is
fitted. Before carrying out the “Reset”
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the “Reset” procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the “Reset” procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Reset";
press thebutton or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Confirm";
pressbutton orto select
("Yes" to “Reset” or "No" to exit the
video page);
press thebutton again to return
to the standard screen or to the main
menu according to where you are in the
menu.
After the “Reset” the display will show
the "Reset saved" message, indicating
that the "self-learning" has been
started.

IMPORTANT If the engine does not
start at the first attempt, return the
ignition key to STOP before repeating
the starting 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 vehicle. If you still cannot start
the engine, perform an emergency
