WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
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, it either
comes on permanently or flashes
(along with a message on the display
on some versions). The operation of the
Uwarning light may be checked by
traffic police using appropriate equip-
ment. Respect the regulations in force
in the country where you are driving.
If the light flashes, come off the accelera-
tor pedal to reduce engine revs until the
warning light stops flashing; continue the
journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further
flashing, and get to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible. EOBD engine control
system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the warning light turns
on but it should go off after the engine
starts. This indicates that the warning light
is working correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on while travelling:
❒on permanently: this means there is
a fault in the supply/ignition system
which could cause high exhaust emis-
sions, loss of performance, poor han-
dling and high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can
continue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause damage.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble. The warning light goes out after the
fault disappears, but the indication is
stored in the system.
❒flashing: this indicates possible damage
to the catalytic converter (see “EOBD
system” in the “Dashboard and con-
trols” section). INJECTION SYSTEM

EOBD SYSTEM FAULT
(petrol versions – amber)
Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the warning light turns
on but it should go off after the engine
starts.
If the warning light stays on or comes on
when travelling, it means there is a fault in
the injection system which could cause
loss of performance, poor handling and
high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can
continue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. In any case, you should go to
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

d
DPF (Particulate Filter)
CLEANING IN
PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions
with DPF – amber)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR
position, the warnintg light turns on but
should go off after a few seconds. The
warning light stays on constantly to noti-
fy the driver that the DPF system needs
to eliminate captured pollutants (particu-
late) by the regeneration process. The
warning light does not come on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when
driving conditions require notification to
the driver. The warning light will go off if
the vehicle stays in motion until regener-
ation has been completed. The process
normally takes about 15 minutes. The op-
timum conditions to end the process are
achieved by keeping the car in motion at
up to 60 km/h with an engine speed high-
er than 2000 rpm. This light coming on is
not a defect and therefore the car does
not need to go to the workshop. A spe-
cific message will appear on the display
when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
hAlways drive at a speed ap-
propriate to the traffic con-
ditions, the weather and speed limits.
The engine may be turned off while
the DPF light is on; however, repeat-
ed interruption of the regeneration
process may result in premature
degradation of engine oil. For this
reason it is always advisable to wait
for the light to go off before turning
off the engine, following the instruc-
tions appearing above. It is not
a good idea to complete DPF regen-
eration with the vehicle stationary.

CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action if
there is a fault or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse
when a device does not work: the filament
A-fig. 34must be intact. If it is not, re-
place the blown fuse with a new one of the
same amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse fig. 34
Cfuse with damaged filament fig. 34.
fig. 34F0M0236m
Do not replace one fuse with
another of greater amper-
age; FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
Never replace a damaged fuse
with metal wires or other
recycled material.
If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,
MAXI-FUSE) is activated, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the same fuse blows again,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remove the key from the ig-
nition and switch off or dis-
connect all devices before replacing
a fuse.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
for safety systems (air bag
system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

SERVICE
AND CARE
Standard upkeep of the paintwork consists
of washing the vehicle: the frequency de-
pends on the conditions and environment
where the vehicle is used. For example, it
is advisable to wash the car more often in
areas with high atmospheric pollution or
on gritted roads.
To wash the car properly, proceed as fol-
lows:
❒if taking your car through an automat-
ic car wash, remove the aerial from the
roof;
❒wash the body using a low-pressure jet
of water;
❒use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse with plenty of water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Take particular care when drying the less
visible parts, such as the door, bonnet and
headlight frames, where water can stagnate
more easily. It is a good idea to leave the
car in the open for a while after washing
it to give time for the water to evaporate.Do not wash the car after it has been left
in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substances that fall off many
species give the paint a dull appearance
and increase the possibility of triggering
rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.Detergents pollute water. The
vehicle should be washed only
in areas equipped for collect-
ing and purifying the liquids
used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the win-
dows.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window
gently with a cloth in the direction of the
filaments to avoid damaging the heating
device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment thor-
oughly at the end of every winter. Be care-
ful not to direct the jet of water onto elec-
tronic control units. Adequately protect
the upper air vents to prevent damage to
the windscreen wiper motor. Have this
operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT Washing should take place
with a cold engine and with the key at
STOP. After the wash, make sure that
the various protective devices (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been removed
or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-
stances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes (e.g. ace-
tone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the
front headlights.
