IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more
flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop the car,
avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres. Replace
the wheel immediately with the small spare wheel (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) or carry out a repair us-
ing the dedicated kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the “In
an emergency” section) and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should you need to travel at a speed higher than 160 km/h,
inflate the tyres to the pressures specified in “Tyre pres-
sures”.
If the TPMS system (for versions/markets where provid-
ed) detects that the pressure of one or more tyres is un-
suitable for the current speed, the warning light will turn
on (together with the message on the display) (see “Tyre
pressure low” in this section) and it will stay on until the
car slows down to a speed below the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case, slow down immediately because
tyre overheating could damage tyre performance and dura-
bility beyond repair, and may even make the tyre explode. CHECK TYRE PRESSURE
(amber)
TYRE PRESSURE LOW (amber)
TYRE PRESSURE UNSUITABLE FOR
SPEED
(amber)
(for versions/markets where provided)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR position, the
warnintg light turns on but should go off after a few sec-
onds.
Check tyre pressures
The warning light turns on to indicate the flat tyre. Should
two or more tyres be flat, the display will show the indi-
cations corresponding to each tyre in sequence.
Restore correct tyre pressures as soon as possible (see
“Cold tyre pressures” in the “Technical specifications” sec-
tion).
Tyre pressure low
The warning light on the panel comes on when the pres-
sure of one or more tyres falls below a preset level. In this
way, the TPMS system warns the driver that one or more
tyres may be dangerously flat and probably punctured.

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 tow-
ing. When towing the vehicle, be sure to respect
the specific rules of the highway code specifical-
ly in relation to the towing device and the be-
haviour to maintain on the road.
WARNING
Clean the threaded housing throughly be-
fore fastening the tow ring. Make sure that
the ring is securely fastened before towing the car.
WARNING
During towing, do not start up the engine.
WARNING
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.

Detergents cause water pollution. The ve-
hicle should be washed only in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquids used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or al-
tering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a cloth
in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heat-
ing device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment thoroughly at the end of
every winter. Be careful not to direct the jet of water on-
to electronic control units. Adequately protect the up-
per air vents to prevent damage to the windscreen wiper
motor. Have this operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After
the wash, make sure that the various protective devices
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol)
or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the
front headlights.
Never use flammable products, such as
petroleum ether or modified petrol, to
clean inside the car. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during cleaning
may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
these could explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the tem-
perature inside can greatly exceed this value.
