NOTE:When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased to an additional 0.3 BAR above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
Once the system receives the updated tire pressures,
the system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
also sound a chime. If the ignition switch is cycled, this
sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. A
system fault can occur due to any of the following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the
TPMS sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals. 3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sen- sors.
NOTE:
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pres- sure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will
not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, a chime will sound and the TPMS
Telltale Light will turn on upon the next ignition
switch cycle.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 25 km/h, the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
4. For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will sound and the TPMS Telltale Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.

5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire andreinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically and the
TPMS Telltale Light will turn off, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in
any of the four active road tires. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.
TPMS Deactivation And Reactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMS Sensors, such as
when installing winter wheel and tire assemblies on
your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those not equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for at least
20 minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and
the TPM Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. Upon the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no longer chime or
turn on the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light. To reactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those equipped with
TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds.
PREMIUM SYSTEM — (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wire-
less technology with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem,
transmit tire pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle
monthly and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
• Receiver module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System messages, which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
WarningsThe Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime
will sound when tire pressure is low in one or more of
the four active road tires. In addition, the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display a
graphic showing the pressure values of each tire with
the low tire pressure values in a different color. An
"Inflate Tire to XXX" message will also be displayed.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires with low pressure (those displayed
in a different color in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s
recommended cold placard pressure value as shown in
the "Inflate Tire to XXX" message.
NOTE: When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased to an additional 0.3 BAR above
the recommended cold placard pressure in order to
turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
Once the system receives the updated tire pressures,
the system will automatically update, the graphic dis-
play in the EVIC will return to the original color, and
the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 25 km/h in order for the TPMS to receive this
information. ServiceTPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid. The system fault will
also sound a chime. In addition, the EVIC will display a
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum of
five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will no longer flash, and the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer display, and a pressure
value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to

The EVIC will also display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message for a minimum of five seconds when a system
fault related to an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM"
message is then followed with a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This indicates that the
pressure values are still being received from the TPM
sensors but they may not be located in the correct
vehicle position. The system still needs to be serviced
as long as the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message is
displayed.
NOTE:
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pres-sure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will
not monitor the pressure in the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure

The BeltAlert warning sequence begins after the ve-
hicle speed is over 8 km/h by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an intermittent chime.
Once the sequence starts, it will continue for the
entire duration or until the respective seat belts are
buckled. After the sequence completes, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light remains illuminated until the respective
seat belts are buckled. The driver should instruct all
other occupants to buckle their seat belts. If an out-
board front seat belt is unbuckled while traveling at
speeds greater than 8 km/h, BeltAlert will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert is not
active when the outboard front passenger seat is un-
occupied. BeltAlert may be triggered when an animal
or heavy object is on the outboard front passenger seat
or when the seat is folded flat (if equipped). It is
recommended that pets be restrained in the rear seat
(if equipped) in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are
secured by seat belts, and cargo is properly stowed.
BeltAlert can be activated or deactivated by your
authorized dealer. Fiat Group does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert.NOTE:
If BeltAlert has been deactivated, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will continue to illuminate while the
driver’s or outboard front passenger’s (if equipped with
BeltAlert) seat belt remains unbuckled.
LAP/SHOULDER BELTS
All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with
lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock only during
very sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the
shoulder part of the seat belt to move freely with you
under normal conditions. However, in a collision the
seat belt will lock and reduce your risk of striking the
inside of the vehicle or being thrown out of the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could
lead to

more severe injuries in a collision.
The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt
even though you have air bags.

SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
If the system has deployed the Active Hood, or if it
detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns
on the Air Bag Warning Light and it will display the
“SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD” message in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), if equipped. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag Warning Light
comes on again after initial startup. It also includes
diagnostics that will illuminate the Air Bag Warning
Light if a malfunction is noted that could affect the
Active Hood system. The diagnostics also record the
nature of the malfunction. If the Air Bag Warning Light
is illuminated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD” ap-
pears in the EVIC, if equipped, see your authorized
dealer.
In the event of an Active Hood deployment, the vehicle
should be serviced by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the actuator assemblies
replaced to restore system functionality. Following an
Active Hood deployment, the hood position can be
temporarily reset by pushing down at the rear edge
over the hood hinges as the internal pressure of each
actuator is relieved. The temporary hood reset posi-
tion is intended to improve forward driving visibility
over the hood until the vehicle can be serviced.The temporary hood reset position will leave the hood
approximately 5 mm above the fender surface. The
front bumper assembly may affect proper operation of
the Active Hood system. The front bumper compo-
nents should be inspected for damage and replaced if
necessary in the event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.
NOTE:
After any Active Hood deployment, the ve-
hicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTThe air bags must be ready to inflate for your
protection in a collision. The Occupant Re-
straint Controller (ORC) monitors the inter-
nal circuits and interconnecting wiring asso-
ciated with air bag system electrical components.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic
parts of the air bag system whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the
ignition switch is in the OFF position or in the ACC
position, the air bag system is not on and the air bags
will not inflate
The ORC contains a backup power supply system that
may deploy the air bags even if the battery loses power
or it becomes disconnected prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light
in the
instrument panel for approximately four to eight sec-
onds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first
turned to the ON/RUN position. After the self-check,
the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC
detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns
on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momentarily or
continuously. A single chime will sound to alert you if
the light comes on again after initial startup. The ORC also includes diagnostics that will illuminate
the instrument panel Air Bag Warning Light if a mal-
function is detected that could affect the air bag sys-
tem. The diagnostics also record the nature of the
malfunction. While the air bag system is designed to be
maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag system immedi-
ately.
• The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on during
the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN position.
• The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to eight-second interval.
• The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or remains on while driving.
NOTE: If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine
related gauges are not working, the Occupant Re-
straint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this
condition the air bags may not be ready to inflate for
your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately.

ment cluster will illuminate.NOTE:
• When the parking brake is applied and the automatic
transmission is placed in gear, the “Brake Warning
Light” will flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime
will sound to alert the driver. Fully release the park-
ing brake before attempting to move the vehicle.
• This light only shows that the parking brake is ap- plied. It does not show the degree of brake applica-
tion.
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front
wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away
from the curb on an uphill grade. For vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission, apply the parking
brake before placing the shift lever in PARK, otherwise
the load on the transmission locking mechanism may
make it difficult to move the shift lever out of PARK.
The parking brake should always be applied whenever
the driver is not in the vehicle.
