LOOKING AFTER THE SYSTEM
Run the climate control system for at least
10 minutes every month during the win-
ter. Have the system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership before the summer.
The system uses R134a re-
frigerant fluid which does not
harm the environment in the
event of accidental leakage.
Never use R12 fluid, which is not com-
patible with the system components.IMPORTANT The air internal recircula-
tion system makes it possible to reach the
required heating or cooling conditions
faster.
Do not use the air internal recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting up. INTERNAL AIR INTERNAL
RECIRCULATION ACTIVATION
Press
•so that the button LED is on.
It is advisable to switch the internal air in-
ternal recirculation on while standing in
queues or in tunnels to prevent the in-
troduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if
there are many passengers on board, to
prevent the windows from misting up.

ESPSYSTEM(Electronic
StabilityProgram)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls
car stability in the event of tyre grip loss,
helping to maintain directional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when road surface grip changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, the MSR system (adjusting
the engine braking torque) and the HBA
system (improving the braking force dur-
ing emergency braking) are also provided
(for versions/markets, where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.
When the ABS cuts in and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep the pedal pushed down; in do-
ingsoyou,willstopintheshortest
distance possible under the road con-
ditions at the time.
WARNINGEBD failure
This is indicated by the
>andxwarn-
ing lights on the instrument panel togeth-
er with the dedicated message on the mul-
tifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided) coming on (see “Warn-
ing lights and messages” section).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply. Drive carefully to the
nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
If only thexwarning light
on the instrument panel
lights up (together with a message in
the multifunction display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) stop
the vehicle immediately and contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid
leaking from the hydraulic system will
compromise the operation of the
braking system, whether it is of the
conventional type or with ABS.

GENERAL WARNINGS
Warning lights are accompanied by a spe-
cific message and/or sound when applica-
ble. These indications are synthetic and
precautionaryand, as such, must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alterna-
tive to the information contained in this
Owner Handbook, which you are rec-
ommended to read carefully in all cases.
Refer to the information in this sectionif
a fault is signalled.
IMPORTANT The fault indications ap-
pearing on the display are divided into two
categories: very seriousand less seri-
ousfailures.
Very seriousfailures are indicated by
a repeated and prolonged warning “cycle”.
Less seriousfailures are indicated by
a shorter warning “cycle”.
Press MENU ESCto stop the warning
cycle in both cases. Warning lights on the
instrument panel will stay on until the
cause of the failure is eliminated.
For messages relevant to the versions
equipped with a Dualogic gearbox, see the
attached Supplement.LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light comes on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level due to possible
leaks in the circuit.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
x
If the warning light xturns
on when travelling (togeth-
er with the message on the display on
certain versions), stop the car imme-
diately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is engaged.
If the car is moving, an audible warning will
also sound on certain versions.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes
on with the vehicle in motion, check that
the handbrake is not engaged.

EXHAUSTED ENGINE
OIL
(only Multijet versions with
DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR
(ON), the warning light switches on and
should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on
constantly (for versions/markets, where
provided) along with the message on the
display 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 the message on the dis-
play) stop the engine immediately
and contact 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
Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/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 above mentioned
modes, until the oil is changed. A specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided) in ad-
dition 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 ve-
hicle use.
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster
under the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city dri-
ving, requiring more frequent regenera-
tion of 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.

LOW ENGINE OIL
LEVEL (red)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
When turning the ignition key to MAR,
the warning light turns on but it should go
off after a few seconds.
This warning light where provided comes
on when the engine oil level falls below the
minimum recommended value. Restore
the correct engine oil level (see “Check-
ing fluid levels” in the “Servicing and care”
section).
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
kExhausted engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes on,
never more than 500 km after the
warning light first comes on. Failure
to change the oil within the first 500
km may result in severe damage to
the engine and will result in forfeiture
of the warranty. Remember that
when the warning light flashes, it does
not mean that the level of engine oil
is low, so if the light flashes you must
not top up.
WARNING
For versions/markets, where
provided:
the
vwarning light turns on and flash-
es along with the message on the display
(if applied) when the system detects that
the engine oil is exhausted. The flashing of
the warning light should not be considered
as a fault, rather simply informs the driver
that oil needs to be changed after a stan-
dard period of car utilisation. If the oil is
not changed, when reaching a second de-
terioration threshold, also the warning
light
Uswitches on in the instrument
panel and the engine operation is limited
at 3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when reach-
ing a third deterioration threshold, the en-
gine is limited at 1500 rpm to avoid dam-
age.
WARNING! To avoid dam-
aging the engine it is recom-
mended to change the en-
gine oil when the warning light
v
flashes. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on permanently, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with an
equal or slightly higher capacity than the
flat one. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒connect the positive terminals (+near
the terminal) of the two batteries with
a jump lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point
Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine.
❒when the engine has been started, fol-
low the sequence above in reverse or-
der to remove the leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not keep trying but contact a Fiat
Dealership.IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another car, prevent acciden-
tal contact between metallic parts of the
two cars.
IMPORTANT For cars with Start&Stop
system, in case of starting by booster bat-
tery, refer to "Dashboard and controls"
chapter, paragraph "Start&Stop system".
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not active until the engine is started,
so you will need to apply much more force
to the brake pedal or steering wheel.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
considerable electrical discharge. Fur-
thermore, battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and lit
cigarettes away from the battery. Do
not create sparks.
