FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>
on the instrument pan-
el together with the message on the mul-
tifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
In this case the braking system is still effi-
cient, though without the aid of the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the closest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESC)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
brake circuit.
Brake Assist is deactivated on vehicles
equipped with ESC, in the event of ESC
system failure (indicated by the switching
on of warning light
™
).
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
WARNING
EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>
, x
and STOP on the
instrument panel together with the mes-
sage on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the pos-
sibility of skidding. Drive extremely care-
fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
If warning light
x
alone
comes on (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
for versions/markets, where provid-
ed), stop the vehicle immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system,
in fact, can compromise the braking
system, both traditional systems and
systems with ABS.

nied by specific message and/or by buzzer
sound where provided by instrument pan-
el. These indications are concise and
cautionaryand shall not be considered
as exhaustive and/or as an alternative to
the specifications contained in this Own-
er Handbook which shall always be read
through carefully and thoroughly. In case
of failure indication always refer to the
specifications contained in this sec-
tion.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed
are divided into two categories: very se-
riousand less seriousfailures.
Very seriousfailures are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning “cycle”.Less seriousfailures are indicated by a lim-
ited warning “cycle”.
LOW BRAKE
FLUID (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warn-
ing light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
Low brake fluid
The warning light turns on when the
level of the brake fluid in the reservoir
falls below the minimum level, due to
possible leaks in the circuit.
x
If the warning light
x
turns
on when travelling (on cer-
tain versions together with the mes-
sage on the display) stop the vehicle
immediately and contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
WARNING
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is engaged.
On certain versions, if the vehicle is mov-
ing the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on

HEAVY-DUTYShould prevailing use of the vehicle be un-
der one of the following specially heavy
conditions:❒
trailer or caravan towing;
❒
dusty roads;
❒
short distances (less than 7-8 km) re-
peated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;
❒
frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
❒
driving in the city;
carry out the following checks more fre-
quently than required in the Service
Schedule:
❒
check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒
check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒
sight inspect the conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒
check battery charge and fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒
visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒
check and replace pollen filter, if
required;
❒
check and replace air cleaner, if
required.
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCEEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer fluid level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions;
❒
light system operation (headlights, di-
rection indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒
windscreen wiper/washer operation
and windscreen/rear window blade
position/wear;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use PETRO-
NAS LUBRICANTS, products, designed
and produced specifically for Fiat vehicles
(see table “Capacities” in section “Tech-
nical specifications”).

BRAKE FLUID fig. 11
Unscrew cap Aand check that the fluid
level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not exceed
the MAXmark.
Use only DOT4fluid for topping up. We
recommend TUTELA TOP 4, which is
the fluid used for first filling.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs mois-
ture, for this reason, if the vehicle is main-
ly used in areas with a high degree of at-
mospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than
specified in the “Service schedule”. Check level through the reservoir.fig. 11
Do not travel with the wind-
screen washer reservoir emp-
ty: the windscreen washer is funda-
mental for improving visibility.
WARNING
Certain commercial addi-
tives for windscreen washers
are inflammable. The engine com-
partment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.

Make sure that the highly
corrosive brake fluid does not
drip onto the paintwork; if it
does, wash it off immediate-
ly with water.Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
involved immediately with neutral
soap and water, then rinse thor-
oughly. Call the doctor immediately
if the fluid is swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol
π
on the con-
tainer indicates synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral kind. Using mineral fluids ir-
reversibly damages the special brak-
ing system rubber seals.
WARNING
POWER STEERING FLUID
With the vehicle on level ground, engine not
running and cold, check whether the oil lev-
el in the tank is between the MINand
MAXmarks on the tank fig. 12 and
fig. 13.
If oil is hot the level can also exceed the
MAXmark.
If required, top up with oil having the same
characteristics of the oil present in the sys-
tem.fig. 12 - 90 Multijet versions
F0P0150m
fig. 13 - 120 - 130 -

Power steering oil consump-
tion is extremely low. If the
fluid level needs topping up
again after a short period of
time, have the system checked for leak-
age at a Fiat Dealership.Do not allow the power
steering fluid to touch the
hot parts of the engine: it is inflam-
mable.
WARNING
For the van outfitting it is
recommended to replace the
brakes liquid every two years.

WIPERSBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using
special products; TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35is recommended.
Change the blades if the rubber edge is
warped or worn out. You should in any case
change them approximately once a year.
A few simple notions can reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to the blades:❒
if the temperature fall below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in ad-
dition to protecting the blades, this pre-
vents effort on the motor and over-
heating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen wipers
on dry glass.
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the vehicle to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.
