LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
ESP SYSTEM FAULT
(amber)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
off after a few seconds.
If the warning light does not go off or stays
on when travelling together with the but-
ton LED ASR OFF, contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
Note The warning light flashing when dri-
ving indicates that the ESP system is active.
á
HILL HOLDER FAULT
(amber)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on to indicate a Hill
Holder system fault. In this case, contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
On certain versions, warning light
áturns
on as an alternative.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
*
WORN BRAKE PADS
(amber)
The warning light comes on if the front
brake pads are worn; in this case, have
them changed as soon as possible.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
d
DPF (Particulate Filter) CLEANING IN
PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions
with DPF - amber)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR
position, the warnintg light turns on but
should go off after a few seconds. The
warning light stays on constantly to noti-
fy the driver that the DPF system needs
to eliminate captured pollutants (particu-
late) by the regeneration process. The
warning light does not come on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when
driving conditions require notification to
the driver. The warning light will go off if
the vehicle stays in motion until regener-
ation has been completed. The process
normally takes about 15 minutes. The op-
timum conditions to end the process are
achieved by keeping the car in motion at
up to 60 km/h with an engine speed high-
er than 2000 rpm. This light coming on is
not a defect and therefore the car does
not need to go to the workshop. A spe-
cific message will appear on the display
when the warning light comes on (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
hAlways drive at a speed ap-
propriate to the traffic con-
ditions, the weather and speed limits.
The engine may be turned off while
the DPF light is on; however, repeat-
ed interruption of the regeneration
process may result in premature
degradation of engine oil. For this
reason it is always advisable to wait
for the light to go off before turning
off the engine, following the instruc-
tions appearing above. It is not
a good idea to complete DPF regen-
eration with the vehicle stationary.

CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse”
paragraph in this section;
❒before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for rusting;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others
of the same type and wattage;
❒for safety reasons, always check the di-
rection of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the
light may appear slightly misty: this does
not indicate a fault, and is actually caused
by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drops inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove. B
Bayonet-type bulbs: to remove from
its holder, press the bulb in and turn
it anti-clockwise.
C Tubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-E Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place.
Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transpar-
ent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
light emitted and even compromise the
longevity of the bulb itself. In the event
of accidental contact, wipe the bulb
with an alcohol-soaked cloth and leave
to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (ECUs)
that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system’s technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which may cause
small fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards if the bulb is broken.

CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action if
there is a fault or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse
when a device does not work: the filament
A-fig. 34 must be intact. If it is not, re-
place the blown fuse with a new one of the
same amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse fig. 34
C fuse with damaged filament fig. 34.
fig. 34F0M0236m
Do not replace one fuse with
another of greater amper-
age; FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
Never replace a damaged fuse
with metal wires or other
recycled material.
If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,
MAXI-FUSE) is activated, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the same fuse blows again,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remove the key from the ig-
nition and switch off or dis-
connect all devices before replacing
a fuse.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
for safety systems (air bag
system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

RAISING THE CAR
If the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
The car should be lifted side-on only, by
putting the ends of the arms or the work-
shop lifting device in the areas shown in
the diagram.
IMPORTANT For the Sport versions, take
care not to damage the side skirts when
raising the car side-on with the workshop
lifting device.
TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car is
housed in the tool box under the carpet
in the boot.
FASTENING THE TOW RING
fig. 44-45
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A;
❒take the tow ring Bfrom its support;
❒screw the ring onto the rear or front
threaded pin.
The brake booster and pow-
er steering will not work
while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more
force to the brake pedal and steering
wheel. Do not use bendy cables for
towing and avoid jerking. Make sure
not to damage parts in contact with
the car while towing. Respect the
rules of the highway code when tow-
ing the car, specifically in relation to
the towing device and road conduct.

Do not start the engine while
the car is being towed.
WARNING
Clean the threaded housing
carefully before fastening
the ring. Make sure that the ring is se-
curely fastened before towing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel
lock before towing (see “Ig-
nition device” in “Dashboard and
controls”). The brake booster and
power steering will not work while the
vehicle is being towed. You will there-
fore need to apply more force to the
brake pedal and steering wheel. Do
not use bendy cables for towing and
avoid jerking. Make sure not to dam-
age parts in contact with the car
while towing. Respect the rules of the
highway code when towing the car,
specifically in relation to the towing
device and road conduct.
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 dis-
tances 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 tow-
ing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two ve-
hicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the
same centre line.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment t\
hrough the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly “eco-compa\
tible”. To give customers the best possible service in terms
of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2\
000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life,
Fiat is offering its customers the opportunity of handing over their veh\
icle* at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the\
last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses as
a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In all European \
Union countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles regis-
tered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of charge, while since 200\
7 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year
of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (i\
n particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additi onal
waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go \
to one of our Dealerships or Fiat-authorised collection and
scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer hig\
h quality service for the collection, treatment and rec ycling
of unused vehicles with respect to the environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centr\
es either from a Fiat or Fiat Commercial Vehicle Dealer -
ship or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or by going on t\
he Fiat website.
(*) Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats a\
nd a total permitted weight of 3.5 t
