will appear automatically, with the key at
MAR, starting from 2,000 km (or
1,240 mi) and will be displayed every
200 km (or 124 mi). Below 200 km the sig-
nals become more frequent. The indica-
tion will appear in kilometres or miles de-
pending on the unit of measurement
settings. When the next scheduled service
is approaching, and when the key is turned
to MAR, the message “Service” will ap-
pear on the display followed by the num-
ber of kilometres or miles left. Go to a Fi-
at Dealership, where the “Scheduled
Service Plan” operations will be performed
and the message will be reset.

WARNING
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter, integral with the exhaust system,
that physically traps particulates present
in the exhaust gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to
eliminate almost all particulates in com-
pliance with current/future legislation.
During normal use of the vehicle, the en-
gine control unit records a set of data (e.g.
travel time, type of route, temperatures,
etc.) and it will then calculate how much
particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particu-
late, it should be regenerated (cleaned)
at regular intervals by burning the carbon
particles.
The regeneration procedure is handled
automatically by the engine control unit
according to the filter conditions and ve-
hicle use conditions.During regeneration, there may be: a lim-
ited increase in minimum revs, a slight in-
crease in fumes and high exhaust temper-
atures. These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or damage the
environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed, re-
fer to the “Warning lights and messages”
section.
The diesel particulate filter
(DPF) reaches high temper-
atures during normal operation. Do
not park the vehicle on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flam-
mable material: fire hazard.

MESSAGES
LOW ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE (red)
DEGRADED OIL (red)
(Multijet versions
with DPF)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on
constantly along with a message on the
display (in versions/markets where pro-
vided) when the system detects that en-
gine oil pressure is low.
v
If the warning light vturns on when the vehicle is
travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with a message on the display)
stop the engine immediately and con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
❒if the vehicle is used under de-
manding conditions (e.g. towing
trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow
down and, if the light stays on, stop the
car. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated
to assist better coolant circulation.
Then switch the engine off. Check cor-
rect fluid level as described above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding
journeys, it is advisable to keep the engine
on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
out as soon as the engine is started (with
the engine idling, a brief delay can be ex-
pected).
If the warning light comes on, either per-
manently or intermittently, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
w
Engine oil degraded
The warning light flashes and a specific
message appears on the display (for ver-
sions/markets where provided). The
warning light may flash in the following
ways, depending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning
light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil
is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the en-
gine is started up, the warning light will
continue to flash in the same ways as de-
scribed above, until the oil is changed.
A specific message will appear on the dis-
play (for versions/markets where provid-
ed) in addition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not
mean that the car is defective, but simply
informs the driver that it is now necessary
to change the oil as a result of regular
vehicle use.
Note that engine oil degrades faster un-
der the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle mainly for city driving,
requiring more frequent regeneration of
the DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time to
reach its regular operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regenera-
tion process, signalled by the DPF warn-
ing light coming on.

IMPORTANT Scheduled Services are pre-
scribed by the manufacturer. Failure to
stick to the schedule may invalidate the
warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fi-
at Dealerships at pre-arranged times.
If, during each part of the service, the need
arises for additional replacements or re-
pairs, these may be carried out only with
the explicit agreement of the Customer.IMPORTANT You are advised to contact
a Fiat Dealership in the event of any mi-
nor operating faults, without waiting for
the next service.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between services should be
reduced.SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for
ensuring long car life under the best con-
ditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services every 30,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember
that scheduled servicing does not com-
pletely cover all the car’s requirements:
even in the initial period before 30,000 km,
and then subsequently between one ser-
vice and another, ordinary care is always
required such as routine checks involv-
ing topping up fluid level, checking tyre
pressures etc...

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainly
used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.

Do not travel if the wind-
screen washer reservoir is
empty: using the windscreen washer
is essential for improving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could cause
a fire if they come into contact with
these additives.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid, which is
highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.

BRAKE FLUID fig. 7
Undo the cap Aand check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maxi-
mum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAXmark.
If you need to top up, you should use the
brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubri-
cants” table (see “Technical Specifications”).
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap Aand
the surrounding surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no
dirt gets into the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with
a mesh of 0.12 mm or less for topping up.

Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of
water. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.

Symbol πon the container
indicates a synthetic brake
fluid, which is different from a min-
eral fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid
will damage the special rubber seals
of the braking system beyond repair.
WARNINGBATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited mainte-
nance” type: under normal conditions of
use, the electrolyte does not need topping
up with distilled water.
The battery fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion or fire.
WARNING
CHECKING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Inspection operations must be carried out
only by specialised personnel, following
the prescriptions contained in this Own-
er Handbook. Any top-up operations
must be carried out only by specialised
personnel at a Fiat Dealership.
Using the battery when the
fluid is too low can damage
it irreparably and generate a risk of
explosion.
WARNING
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an
original spare part with the same specifi-
cations.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” will no longer
be valid.
For battery maintenance, you should
therefore refer to the instructions pro-
vided by the battery manufacturer.
