light turns on and should go off after en-
gine start-up.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, a fault in the supply/igni-
tion system has occurred, which could
cause high emissions at the exhaust, pos-
sible lack of performance, poor handling
and high fuel consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-

out demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible. SEAT BELTS

EOBD engine
control system failure
Under normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after en-
gine start-up.
This indicates that the warning light is
working correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on during vehicle
travel, the following applies.
❒Steady light: indicates a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, possible
reduced performances, poor drivabili-
ty and high fuel consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
In these conditions, the vehicle can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed with-
out demanding excessive effort from
the engine or high speeds. Prolonged
use of the vehicle with the warning light
on may cause damage. Go to a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the
fault is cleared, and the indication is
stored in the system.❒Flashing light: indicates the possibility of
damage to the catalyst (see “EOBD sys-
tem” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).
If the warning light flashes, release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at mod-
erate speed, trying to avoid driving con-
ditions that may cause further flashing
and contact the Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
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, the warning
light comes on either steady or blinking
(along with a message on the display).
The operation of the warning light U
may be checked by the traffic police us-
ing specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are dri-
ving.PARTICULAE FILTER

ter is clogged and the driving conditions
do not enable automatic activation of the
regeneration procedure.
To allow the regeneration procedure and
clean the filter, keep the vehicle running
until the warning light turns off.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.

(on some versions with the message on
the display), go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible to have the system
bled. Water may have been introduced
in the tank if this appears immediately
after refuelling: in this case, stop the en-

STARTING
THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY START
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light Ycomes on steady on the
instrument panel.
STARTING THE ENGINE
WITH THE AUXILIARY
BATTERY
If the battery is down, the engine can be
started using an auxiliary battery having
the same capacity, or higher.
For engine starting follow the procedure
below, fig. 1.
❒Connect positive terminals (+near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a
jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the vehicle to be start-
ed.
❒Start the engine.
❒When the engine has been started, fol-
low the sequence above in reverse or-
der to remove the leads.If after a few attempts the engine will not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries directly:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, prevent acci-
dental contact between metallic parts of
the two vehicles.BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed. A greater effort will, therefore, be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
Never use a quick battery
charger for emergency start
operations: this might dam-
age the electronic system and
the engine start/supply control units.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical discharge of considerable in-
tensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames away from the battery. No
smoking. Do not cause sparks.

IN AN
EMERGENCY
IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
The vehicle is supplied with a “Fix&Go fast
tyre repair kit” (see instructions in next
section). As an alternative to the Fix&Go
kit, the vehicle may be equipped with a
regular size spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and spare wheel call for some precautions
as listed below.
The spare wheel (where pro-
vided) is specific for your ve-
hicle. Therefore, it must not be used
on vehicles of a different model. Do
not use spare wheels of different
models on your vehicle. The spare
wheel must only be used in an emer-
gency. Use it as shortly as possible.
WARNING
Indicate that the vehicle is
stationary according to the
laws in force: emergency lights, re-
fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the vehicle, par-
ticularly if it is very loaded, and wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic. In case of
steep slopes or rough slopes, place
wedges or other materials suitable to
stop the vehicle under the wheels. Re-
pair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threading before assem-
bly: the bolts could come loose un-
expectedly.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with
which it is supplied or on other vehi-
cles of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lift-
ing other vehicle models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs under the ve-
hicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do
not use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel cap assem-
bly may cause it to come off
when the vehicle is travelling. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Nev-
er introduce tools of any kind be-
tween rim and tyre. Regularly check
the pressure of the tyres and small
spare wheel referring to the values
shown in the “Technical Specifica-
tions” section.

Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks
it must be replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than the cranking device
has to be fitted on the jack.
To replace a tyre proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position so that it
is not a danger for on-coming traffic in
a location where you can replace the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat
and compact.
❒Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
❒Engage first gear or reverse.
❒open the rear swing doors the luggage
