ABS SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)Turning the ignition key to
MAR
the
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after a few seconds.
The warning light will light up when the system is either
not working or not available. Under these circumstances
the braking system will work as normal without the ex-
tra performance offered by the ABS system. Drive care-
fully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.

IMPORTANT Under severe use of the car, it is advisable
to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message. ENGINE COOLANT HIGH TEMPERA-
TURE (red)
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light
turns on, but it should go off after a few seconds. The
warning light turns on when the engine is overheated. If
the warning light comes on when driving, proceed as fol-
lows:
❒in standard normal driving conditions: stop the car,
switch off the engine and check whether the water lev-
el in the reservoir is not below the MIN. mark. In this
case, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool
down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up
with coolant and check that the level is between the
MIN. and MAX. marks on the reservoir itself. Also
check for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warn-
ing light should come on again, contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
❒In case of car heavy duty (e.g.: towing trailer uphill or
fully laden car): decrease speed, if the warning light stays
on, stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the en-
gine running and slightly accelerated to further accel-
erate the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine.
Check the correct liquid level as described above.
ç
LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
Turning the ignition key to
MAR
, the warning
light turns on and should go out as soon as the
engine is started (with the engine running at idle speed
a short delay in going out is allowed).
If the warning light stays on contact immediately a Fiat
Dealership.

IN AN EMERGENCY
STARTING THE ENGINEEMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat CODE system fails to deactivate engine immo-
bilising system the instrument panel warning lights
Y
and
U
stay on and the engine cannot be started.
To start the engine the emergency start-up can be per-
formed.
Read the whole procedure carefully before trying to car-
ry it out: if you make a mistake, you need to turn the ig-
nition key back to STOP and repeat the whole operation
from the beginning.
Proceed as follows:
❒
read the five-digit electronic code from the CODE card;
❒
turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒
press and hold down the accelerator pedal: the warn-
ing light
U
turns on for about 8 seconds, and then goes
off;
❒
release the accelerator pedal and count the flashes of
the warning light
U
;
❒
count the number of flashes that corresponds to the
first digit of the code on the CODE card, then press the
accelerator pedal and hold it there until the warning
light
U
comes on (for 4 seconds) and then goes off. Re-
lease the accelerator pedal;
CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
❒
the warning light
U
will start flashing again: after it has
flashed the number of times corresponding to the
second digit on the CODE card, fully depress the ac-
celerator pedal and hold it there;
❒
do the same for the remaining digits on the CODE card;
❒
once the last digit has been entered, hold the acceler-
ator pedal pressed. The warning light
U
will light up for
four seconds and then go out. Release the accelerator
pedal;
JUMP STARTING fig. 120
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an aux-
iliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher than
the flat one.

Never use a fast battery-charger to start the
engine as this could damage the electron-
ic systems of your car, particularly the ig-
nition and fuel supply control units.This procedure must be performed by qual-
ified personnel as incorrect actions may
cause high-intensity electrical discharge. Further-
more, battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with your skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.
WARNING
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
insist rather contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the det-
onating gas which could come out of the battery. If the aux-
iliary battery is installed on another car, prevent any contact
between metal parts of the cars and the flat battery.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving
downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic convert-
er and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-brake and elec-
trical power steering system (for versions/markets where
provided) are not operating until the engine is started, a
greater effort will therefore be required to press the brake
pedal or turn the steering wheel. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒
connect the positive terminals (+ sign close to the ter-
minal) of both batteries using a lead;
❒
with a second lead, connect the negative terminal − of
the auxiliary battery to an earthing point
E
on the en-
gine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒
start the engine;
❒
when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.

WHEELS AND TYRESCheck the pressure of each tyre, including the space-saver
wheel, approximately every two weeks and before long
journeys: the pressure should be checked with the tyre
rested and cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under stan-
dard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifications” chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 185:
A standard pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
❒
the ceiling lights must be off. The car is however pro-
vided with an automatic system for switching-off inter-
nal lights;
❒
do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
warning lights, etc...) switched on for a long time when
the engine is not running;
❒
before performing any operation on the electric system,
disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒
battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains for a long time
under 50%, the battery is damaged by sulphation, reduc-
ing its capacity and starting attitude.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (e.g. al-
ready at −10 °C). Refer to the paragraph “Car inactivity”
in “Starting and driving” if the car is left parked for a long
time.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric acces-
sories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
or accessories influencing the electrical supply require-
ments, contact Fiat Dealership whose skilled personnel, in
addition to suggesting the most suitable devices included
in Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the overall electric ab-
sorption, checking whether the car’s electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even when
the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the battery.
