Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble if warning light Udoes not light up
when the key is turned to MAR or if, while trav-
elling, the warning light comes on either perma-
nently or flashing (along with a message on the
display on certain versions). The operation of the
Uwarning light may be checked by traffic police
using appropriate equipment. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are driving.
WARNING
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED (amber)
The warning light
“comes on when the front
passenger airbag is disabled.
With the front passenger air bag enabled, when the igni-
tion key is turned to MAR the
“warning light comes on
constantly for about 4 seconds, flashes for another 4 sec-
onds and then should go out.
“
Engine management system failure – EOBD
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to MAR,
the warning light turns on but it should go off after the en-
gine starts. This indicates that the warning light is work-
ing correctly. If the warning light either stays on or comes
on during car travel:
❒on permanently: this means there is a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause high exhaust
emissions, 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 travel-
ling at moderate speed without demanding excessive ef-
fort from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damage. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible. The warning light goes out after
the fault disappears, but the indication is stored in the sys-
tem.
❒flashing: this indicates possible damage to the catalytic
converter (see “EOBD system” in the “Dashboard and
controls” section).
If the light flashes, come off the accelerator pedal to re-
duce engine revs until the warning light stops flashing; con-
tinue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid dri-
ving conditions that may cause further flashing, and get
to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.For versions/markets, where provided, the
Uwarning
light in the instrument panel does not have the EOBD func-
tion (European On Board Diagnosis) but only that of sig-
nalling that the injection system is not working perfectly.

DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet 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 notify
the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate cap-
tured pollutants (particulate) by the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving conditions require no-
tification to the driver. The warning light will go off if the
vehicle stays in motion until regeneration has been com-
pleted. The process normally takes about 15 minutes. Op-
timal conditions for completing the process are achieved
by travelling at 60 km/h with engine revs above 2000 rpm.
If this light comes on, it does not mean the car is defec-
tive, so there is no need to take it to a garage. A specific
message will appear on the display when the warning light
comes on (for versions/markets, where provided).
h
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine may be turned off while the
DPF light is on; however, repeated interruption of
the regeneration process may result in premature
degradation of engine oil. For this reason it is al-
ways advisable to wait for the light to go off be-
fore turning off the engine, following the instruc-
tions appearing above. It is not a good idea to
complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle sta-
tionary.
WARNINGSpeed limit exceeded
(for versions/markets where provided)
The display shows the associated message when the car
exceeds the set speed limit (see “Multifunction display”
in the “Dashboard and controls” section).

Before towing, switch off the steering lock
(see “Ignition” in the “Dashboard and con-
trols” section). The brake booster and power
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 high-
way code when towing the car, specifically in re-
lation to the towing device and road conduct.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergency operations 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 towing op-
erations 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.
