Wash with mild soap and water in the event of exposure.
The expiration date of the explosive charge and the coil
contact wire are shown on a specific label on the door
edge. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the devices re-
placed when the expiry date approaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in which any
of the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat
Dealership to have the activated devices replaced and to
have the system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement operations con-
cerning the air bags must only be carried out at a Fiat
Dealership.
If case of car scrapping, have the air bag system deacti-
vated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the car changes owner-
ship, the new owner must be informed of the method of
use of air bags and the above warnings and also be given
this “Owner Handbook”.
Never rest head, arms and elbows on the
door, on the windows and in the window
bag area to prevent possible injuries during infla-
tion phase.
WARNING
Never lean head, arms and elbows out of
window.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front air bags and side bags
are triggered in a differentiated manner, depending on the
type of crash. Failure to deploy of one of the devices does
not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

CONTINUOUSLY ON: LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
FLASHING: EXHAUSTED ENGINE OIL
(only Multijet versions with DPF – red)
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes
on, but should go out as soon as the engine is started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light will turn on constantly together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) when the system detects that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.If the warning light
v
turns on when the
car is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display) stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil
(Multijet versions with DPF only)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the versions, the warning light flash-
ing modes are as follows:
– one minute every two hours;
– cycles of three minutes with intervals with the warning
light off for five seconds until the oil is changed.v
If the warning light comes on, the ex-
hausted engine oil should be changed as
soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km
from the first switching-on of this warning light.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the engine could be severely damaged and the
warranty may decay. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the warn-
ing light flashes, never add oil.
WARNING
After the first indication, at each engine start up the warn-
ing light will continue flashing as above described until the
oil is changed. For those versions/markets where provid-
ed, the display shows a dedicated message together with
the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be consid-
ered as as fault, rather simply informs the customer that
oil needs to be changed after a standard period of car util-
isation.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is ac-
celerated by:
– mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent;
– use of the car for short journeys, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature;
– repeated interruptions to the regeneration process sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

Car maintenance should be charged to
a Fiat Dealership. For routine and minor
maintenance operations you wish to carry
out yourself, always make sure you have the prop-
er equipment, genuine Fiat spare parts and the nec-
essary fluids; do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experience.
IMPORTANT – Battery
Check the battery charge once a year, preferably before
at the beginning of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte
freezing.
This check should be carried out more frequently if the
car is used mainly for short journeys, or if it is fitted with
accessories that permanently absorb electricity even with
the ignition key removed, especially in the case of after-
market accessories. If the car is used in hot climates or
particularly harsh conditions it is advisable to check the
level of the battery fluid (electrolyte) more frequently than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
❒
frequently idling engine or long distance low speed dri-
ving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in case
of a long term inactivity;
change engine oil more frequently than required on the
“Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Diesel filter
The possibility of topping-up with diesel fuel not comply-
ing with EN 590 European Standard might make it neces-
sary to replace the filter more frequently than indicated in
the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Air filter
When the car is used on dusty roads, change the air fil-
ter more frequently than shown on the “Scheduled Ser-
vicing Programme”. If in doubt as to how often the en-
gine oil and air filter should be changed according to how
you use the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT – Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering element more fre-
quently if the car is used in dusty or very polluted places.
Specifically, replace if a lower air flow into the passen-
ger’s compartment is found.

The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold
and must range between the MIN. and MAX. marks on the
reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% deminer-
alised water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
of FL Selenia through
the filler neck A until approaching the MAX. level.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and demineralised wa-
ter gives freeze protection to −35 °C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, a mixture of 60%
PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralised water is recom-
mended.
When the engine is hot, take care when
working inside the engine compartment to
avoid burns. Remember that when the engine is
hot, the fan may cut in: danger of injury. Scarves,
ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
WARNING
Never add any oil with different specifica-
tions than those of the existing engine oil. Used engine oil and the replaced oil filter
contain substances that may be dangerous
for the environment. It is advisable to have
oil and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership where
they will be disposed respecting the environment
and according to law prescription.
