WARNING
LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light
Udoes not light up
when the key is turned to
MAR or if, while travelling, it either
comes on permanently or flashes
(along with a message on the display
on some versions). The operation of the
Uwarning light may be checked by
traffic police using appropriate equip-
ment. Respect the regulations in force
in the country where you are driving.
If the light flashes, come off the accelera-
tor pedal to reduce engine revs until the
warning light stops flashing; continue the
journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further
flashing, and get to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
EOBD engine control
system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the warning light turns
on but it should go off after the engine
starts. This indicates that the warning light
is working correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on while travelling:
❒
on permanently: this means there is
a fault in the supply/ignition system
which could cause high exhaust emis-
sions, loss of performance, poor han-
dling and high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can
continue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause damage.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble. The warning light goes out after the
fault disappears, but the indication is
stored in the system.
❒ flashing: this indicates possible damage
to the catalytic converter (see “EOBD
system” in the “Dashboard and con-
trols” section).
INJECTION SYSTEM
FAULT
(Multijet versions
- amber)
EOBD SYSTEM FAULT
(petrol versions - amber)
Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the warning light turns
on but it should go off after the engine
starts.
If the warning light stays on or comes on
when travelling, it means there is a fault in
the injection system which could cause
loss of performance, poor handling and
high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can
continue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. In any case, you should go to
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

This condition is indicated by inter-
mittent blinking of warning light
“for longer than 4 seconds. In this case,

ing that there is a fault in the restraint
systems. Before driving off, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have the system

soon as possible to have the system
bled. Water may have entered the tank
if this appears immediately after refu-
elling: if this happens, switch the engine
off immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

CHANGING A TYRE
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some pre-
cautions, as listed below.
Use your hazard lights,
warning triangle, etc to show
that your car is stationary. Passengers
should get out of the car, particular-
ly if it is heavily loaded, and wait for
the wheel to be changed away from
the traffic. Apply the handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel provided is
specific for your vehicle.
Therefore, it must not be used on dif-
ferent models and you should not use
spare wheels from other models on
your vehicle. The wheel bolts are spe-
cific for your vehicle: do not use them
on different models and do not use
bolts from other models on your car.
WARNING
Repair and refit the standard
wheel as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt
threads before assembly: they might
spontaneously unscrew.
WARNING
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not active until the engine is started,
so you will need to apply much more force
to the brake pedal or steering wheel.

SERVICE
AND CARE
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Fiat
Dealerships according to fixed time or
kilometres/miles intervals.
If, during each operation, in addition to
the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these
may be carried out only with your explicit
agreement. If your car is used frequent-
ly for towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should be
reduced. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The Scheduled Servicing services are set
out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the war-
ranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership
of any small operating irregularities with-
out waiting for the following servicing.
For versions equipped with specific fuel
supply and/or trim level (e.g. LPG, Dua-
logic), in addition to what is described in
the following Scheduled Servicing Plan,
refer to the relevant additional items in
the dedicated supplements. SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaran-
teeing a long life for the car under the
best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a series
of checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, for versions/markets,
where provided, at fixed time intervals,
as described in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always nec-
essary to carefully follow the instructions
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g. pe-
riodically check level of liquids, tyre pres-
sure, etc.).
