together with a message in the display, in the event
of a Hill Holder system fault. In this case, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
FIAT CODE SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches
on (along with a message on the display on some
versions) to indicate a Fiat CODE system failure: in
this case contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.PLUG PREHEATING/PLUG

versions) (amber)
PLUG PREHEATING
The warning light switches on when the key is turned
to MAR and switches off when the plugs have
reached the preset temperature. The engine can be
started as soon as the warning light switches off.
IMPORTANT At moderate or high ambient
temperatures the warning light may stay on for an
extremely short time.PLUG PREHEATING FAILURE
The warning light flashes (together with a message
and a symbol on the display on some versions)

soon as possible.
"DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
This warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. If the warning light (or, on some versions, a
message and a symbol on the display) stays on, you
may not have steering assistance and the effort
required to operate the steering wheel could be
notably increased; steering is, however, possible. In
this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately
(should it be in motion), stop the engine for about
20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the
warning light (or, on some versions, a message and a
symbol on the display) stays on, contact a Fiat

IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the
steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way
from one end to the other or drive in a straight line
for about a hundred metres.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
This warning light switches on when the ignition key
is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a
few seconds. The warning light (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) switches on constantly to notify the driver
that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.
The warning light does not switch on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified. To switch the
warning light off, the car must be kept in motion
until the regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
Optimal conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine revs
above 2000 rpm.
If this light switches on, it does not mean that the
car is defective, so there is no need to take it to
a garage. A specific message will appear on thedisplay when the warning light comes on (for
versions/markets, where provided).
WARNING
The driving speed must always be
suitable for traffic and weather
conditions and the driver must always comply
with the Highway Code.The engine can be
stopped even if the DPF warning light is on;
however, repeated interruptions of the
regeneration process could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason,
always wait until the warning light switches
off before stopping the engine as described
above. It is not advisable to complete DPF
regeneration with the car stationar y.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
(amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on in the following
circumstances. In these cases contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the fault eliminated as soon as
possible.

Never use a fast batter y-charger to star t
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car, par ticularly
the ignition and fuel supply control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
exper t personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lighted cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active until
the engine is started. A much greater effort will
therefore be required to use the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
CHANGING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “FIX&GO Automatic
Kit”: see the paragraph “FIX&GO Automatic Kit” for
how to use this device. As an alternative to the
“FIX&GO Automatic Kit” the car may be equipped
with a space-saver wheel: see the instructions on the
following pages for changing the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided) is specific to
your car, do not use it on other models, or use
the space-saver wheel of other models on your
car.The space-saver wheel must only be used
in case of emergency. It must only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service
point and the car speed must not exceed 80
km/h.The space-saver wheel has an orange
sticker that summarises the main cautions for
use and limitations. Never remove or cover
the label.The following information is provided
in four languages on the label: "Important!
For temporar y use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tire as soon as possible. Never
cover this indication." Never apply a wheel
cap on a space-saver wheel.

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.The overall
duration of the space-saver spare wheel is
of about 3000 km, after which the relevant tyre
must be replaced with another one of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a small spare wheel.
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Using two or more small spare
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting:
they could unscrew themselves.
WARNING
The jack may be used to replace wheels
only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the jack
may cause the car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Never install snow chains on the space-saver
spare wheel; if a front tyre (driving wheel)
is punctured and you need to use snow chains,
use a standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver spare wheel on the rear
axle. In this way, with two normal front drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, complying with the values
given in the "Technical specifications" chapter.

WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power assisted steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the brake
pedal and more effort is required on the
steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.When
towing the car, it is compulsor y to respect
specific highway code regulations relating to
the tow hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not star t the engine while towing
the car.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the car for short
distances using an appropriate device
in accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transporting via a
breakdown vehicle.Tow hooks MUST NOT be
used to tow vehicles off the road or where there
are obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one towing,
the other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.
WARNING
Do not use tow hooks for securing the
vehicle on ships.
