filter at the first blink of the
light. If you keep operating the engine
after the light blinks, severe engine
damage can result.
WARNING
If this light comes on when the engine is
running, you should change the engine oil
and oil filter immediately since the moni-
toring system has calculated that oil life
has been diminished by detecting a dete-
rioration, increase or decrease of engine
oil.
When the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, and the oil life monitoring sys-
tem is reset, this light will go out. For de-
tails on how to change the engine oil, re-
fer to “Changing Engine Oil and Filter” in
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”
section. Whenever the engine oil is
changed, the light must be reset to mon-
itor the next oil change timing properly.
To reset the light, consult your Fiat Deal-
ership.
If the “AIR BAG” light does
not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position, stays on for more
than 10 seconds, or comes on while
driving, the air bag system or the seat
belt pretensioner system (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) may
not work properly. Have both systems
inspected by an authorized Fiat Deal-
ership.

Oil life monitoring
The oil life monitoring indicates the re-
maining distance until the next timing to
change the engine oil and oil filter. When
the remaining distance become close to
0 km, you should change the engine oil and
oil filter immediately. The oil service light
in the instrument cluster may also come
on to let you know that you should change
the engine oil and oil filter immediately.
For details on how to change the engine
oil and oil filter, refer to “Changing Engine
Oil and Filter” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the oil life monitoring must be
reset to monitor the next oil and oil fil-
ter change timing properly. To reset the
indicator, consult your Fiat Dealership.
When the oil life monitoring is reset, the
oil life monitoring indicates the remain-
ing distance until the next timing to change
engine oil and filter. If the oil service light
was on, it will go out.
IMPORTANT Change the engine oil and
filter immediately when the remaining dis-
tance of the oil life monitoring indication
becomes close to 0 km. If you keep op-
erating the engine with the indication
shows 0 km, severe engine damage can re-
sult.
NOTE If the vehicle is usually used under
severe driving conditions, the engine oil
and oil filter should be changed more fre-
quently regardless the oil life monitoring.
