Injection system failure
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on and should go
out as soon as the engine is started.If the warning light stays on or turns on
during car travel, it indicates that the in-
jection system is not operating correctly,
which could cause reduced performance,
poor drivability and high consumption lev-
els.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
In these conditions, the car can continue
travelling at moderate speed without de-
manding excessive effort from the engine.
In any case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
EOBD engine control system
failure
Under normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warning

gine start-up. This indicates that the warn-
ing light is working correctly. If the warn-
ing light either stays on or comes on dur-

The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
In these conditions, the car can continue
travelling at moderate speed without de-
manding excessive effort from the engine.
Prolonged use of the car with the warn-
ing light on may cause damage. Go to a Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible. The
warning light goes out after the fault is
cleared, and the indication is stored in the

DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(“green filter”)
DRAINING THE CONDENSE
(diesel versions)
The presence of water in the
fuel circuit may cause seri-
ous damage to the entire injection
system and cause irregular engine op-
eration. If the warning light
cturns
on (or on certain versions, a dedicat-
ed message is shown on the reconfig-
urable multifunction display) contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible
to have the bleeding operation car-
ried out. Should the above indications
take place after refuelling, water has
probably been poured into the tank:
turn the engine off immediately and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited mainte-
nance” type: under normal conditions of
use the electrolyte does not need topping
up with distilled water.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Inspection operations must be carried out
by specialised personnel, following the
prescriptions contained in the Owner
Handbook.
Any top-up operations must be carried
out exclusively by specialised personnel
and by the Fiat Dealership.
Battery liquid is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid contact
with the skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explo-
sion or fire.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a gen-
uine spare part having the same specifi-
cations.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Service schedule” in this section will no
longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions pro-
vided by the battery manufacturer.
Using the battery when the
fluid is too low can damage
it irreparably and generate a risk of
explosion.
WARNING
Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
car. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
you want to install accessories (alarms,
mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest
the most suitable devices and advise
you if a higher capacity battery needs
to be installed.
