– briefly press MENU ESCto return to
the menu screen or hold the button down
to return to the standard screen without
saving. SERVICE (Scheduled servicing)
This function allows you to display the in-
formation about km/mileage intervals or,
for versions/markets, where provided,
time intervals for car servicing.
To consult this information, proceed as
follows:
– briefly press the MENU ESC
button:

km/mi or days (where provided) accord-
ing to the previous setting (see paragraph
“Units of measurement”);
– press the MENU ESC button briefly to
return to the menu screen or hold the
button down to return to the standard
screen.
IMPORTANT The “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” includes car maintenance at fixed in-
tervals (refer to the “Maintenance and
care” chapter). This is displayed automatically, with igni-
tion key at
MAR-ON, 2000 km (or equiv-
alent value in miles) before servicing or,
where provided, 30 days before servicing.
It is also displayed each time the key is
turned to MAR-ON or, for versions/mar-
kets, where provided, every 200 km (or
equivalent value in miles). Below this
threshold servicing indications are more
frequent. The display will be in km or miles
according to the unit of measurement set.
When the next scheduled service is ap-
proaching, the word “Service” will appear
on the display, followed by the number
of kilometres/miles or days (where pro-
vided) left, when the key is turned to
MAR-ON. Contact a Fiat Dealership,
where the operations in the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan” will be performed and the
message will be reset.
When the service interval is reached and
for about 1000 km/600 mi or 30 days, a
service due message is displayed.

WARNING
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter, integral with the exhaust system,
that physically traps particulates present
in the exhaust gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to
eliminate almost all particulates in com-
pliance with current/future legislation.
During normal use of the vehicle, the en-
gine control unit records a set of data (e.g.
travel time, type of route, temperatures,
etc.) and it will then calculate how much
particulate has been trapped by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particu-
late, it should be regenerated (cleaned)
at regular intervals by burning the carbon
particles.
The regeneration procedure is handled
automatically by the engine control unit
according to the filter conditions and ve-
hicle use conditions. During regeneration, there may be: a lim-
ited increase in minimum revs, a slight in-
crease in fumes and high exhaust temper-
atures. These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or damage the
environment.
If the dedicated message is displayed, re-
fer to the “Warning lights and messages”
section.
The diesel particulate filter
(DPF) (for versions/markets,
where provided) reaches high tem-
peratures during normal operation.
Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or other flam-
mable material: fire hazard.

LOW ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE (red)
EXHAUSTED ENGINE
OIL
(only Multijet versions with
DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR
(ON), the warning light switches on and
should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on
constantly (for versions/markets, where
provided) along with the message on the
display when the system detects that en-
gine oil pressure is low.
v
If the warning light vturns on when the vehicle is
travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the dis-
play) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
❒ if the vehicle is used under de-
manding conditions (e.g. towing
trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow
down and, if the light stays on, stop the
car. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated
to assist better coolant circulation.
Then switch the engine off. Check cor-
rect fluid level as described above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding
journeys, it is advisable to keep the engine
on and slightly accelerated for a few min-
utes before switching it off.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
out as soon as the engine is started (with
the engine idling, a brief delay can be ex-
pected).
If the warning light comes on, either per-
manently or intermittently, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
w
Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided). The
warning light may flash in the following
ways, depending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning
light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil
is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the en-
gine is started up, the warning light will
continue to flash in the above mentioned
modes, until the oil is changed. A specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided) in ad-
dition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not
mean that the car is defective but simply
informs the driver that it is now necessary
to change the oil as a result of regular ve-
hicle use.
Note that engine oil is exhausted faster
under the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city dri-
ving, requiring more frequent regenera-
tion of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time to
reach its regular operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regenera-
tion process, signalled by the DPF warn-
ing light coming on.

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.).

is essential for improving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial additives
for windscreen washing are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot parts which could cause
a fire if they come into contact with
these additives.
WARNING
Prevent brake fluid, which is
highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Wash with water im-
mediately if this should happen.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW

ing concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35 and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35 and 50% water in winter.
If temperatures are below −20°C, use

fig. 8F0M0154mBRAKE FLUID fig. 9
Undo the cap Aand check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maxi-
mum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAX mark.
If you need to top up, you should use the
brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lu-
bricants” table (see “Technical Specifica-
tions”).
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap A
and the surrounding surfaces.
When opening the cap, make sure that no
dirt gets into the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter
with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less for top-
ping up.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture. For this reason, if the car is mainly
used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.F0M0155m
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
immediately with water and mild
soap, then rinse with plenty of
water. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
Symbol πon the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, which is dif-
ferent from a mineral fluid. Using a
mineral-type fluid will damage the
special rubber seals of the braking sys-
tem beyond repair.

BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited mainte-
nance” type: under normal conditions of
use, the electrolyte does not need topping
up with distilled water.
The battery fluid is poiso-
nous and corrosive. Avoid
contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion or fire.
WARNING
CHECKING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Inspection operations must be carried out
only by specialised personnel, following
the prescriptions contained in this Own-
er Handbook. Any top-up operations
must be carried out only by specialised
personnel at a Fiat Dealership.
Using the battery when the
fluid is too low can damage
it irreparably and generate a risk of
explosion.
WARNING
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an
original spare part with the same specifi-
cations.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan” will no longer
be valid.
For battery maintenance, you should
therefore refer to the instructions pro-
vided by the battery manufacturer.
