EOBD SYSTEM
(European On Board
Diagnosis)
(where provided)
Operation
The EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis system) carries out a
continuous diagnosis of the
components of the vehicle related to
emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel, together with a message on the
display, when these components are no
longer in peak condition (see “Warning
lights and messages” paragraph in this
chapter).
The aim of the EOBD system (European
On Board Diagnosis) is to:
monitor the efficiency of the system;
indicate an increase in emissions;
indicate the need to replace
damaged components.
The vehicle also has a connector, which
can interface with appropriate tools,
that makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the electronic control
units together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault, to
check the system completely, a Fiat
Dealership is obliged to run tests and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
require a long journey.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this section in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.
NOTE The warning lights and icons described below are indicative and can change based on the version or market.

Warning light What it means
SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side
seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning
light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger side seat
belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened. In this
case, fasten the seat belt.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display on some versions) switches on when the engine is
overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches
on (or the icon is displayed) again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down
and, if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the
coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated
for a few minutes before turning it off.
ALTERNATOR FAILURE
If this warning light or symbol switches on when the engine is running, this indicates a vehicle recharging
system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
DOOR OPEN
The warning light turns on when one or more doors (or, for some versions also the bonnet and the engine
bonnet) are not perfectly closed (for versions/markets, where provided). An acoustic signal is activated
with the doors open and the car moving. Close the doors properly.
AIRBAG FAILURE
If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.33) 34)

WARNING
33)If, when the ignition device is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on or stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this case the airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of cases,
they may be deployed accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
34)The failure of the
warning light is signalled by the lighting up of theicon on the instrument panel display (or, for versions where
provided, by the flashing of the generic failure warning light). In this case, the warning light may not indicate any faults with the restraint
systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

Warning light What it means
GENERAL FAILURE
When this warning light or symbol starts flashing, for versions/markets where provided, this indicates an
airbag warning light fault. In this case, the airbag may not indicate possible airbag system malfunctions.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
When this warning light or symbol turn on, it can indicate the intervention or a problem concerning the
fuel cut-off system or an engine oil pressure sensor failure.
iTPMS
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly (together with a message on
the display) to indicate that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system will go back to
normal operation when the operating conditions will allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the “Reset”
procedure after restoring the normal operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the pressure of one or more tyres is lower than
the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration
and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed. It is advisable to restore the correct pressure value (see the
"Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical specifications" section). Once the normal operating conditions of
the vehicle are restored, carry out the "Reset" procedure.
WARNING Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as the car handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system maintains its
efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system. Drive carefully and contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.

Warning light What it means
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it
should switch off as soon as the engine is started. The operation of the warning light may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you
are driving.
19)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working
properly. The warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could
cause high exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system. Under these
conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort
from the engine or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue the
journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
19)If, turning the ignition device to MAR, thewarning light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some
versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

Warning light What it means
FIAT CODE SYSTEM FAILURE
Fiat CODE system failure
The warning light or symbol switches on to indicate a failure of the Fiat CODE system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
PARKING SENSOR FAILURE (PARK ASSIST)
The warning light or yellow symbol switches on in the case of temporary failure of the parking sensors. If
the problem is still present after cleaning the parking sensor area, contact a Fiat Dealership.
WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Diesel versions)
The warning light or symbol switches on constantly when driving (along with a message in the display), to
indicate the presence of water in the Diesel filter.
21)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(where provided)
Diesel versions: the warning light or symbol turns on and is displayed for 3 minute cycles and intervals of
5 seconds until the oil is changed.
The symbol is displayed until the problem is solved.
Petrol versions: the warning light or symbol switches on and then is not displayed when the display cycle
is completed.
IMPORTANT After the first indication, each time the engine is started the symbol will continue to switch on
as described above until the oil is changed.
If the warning light or symbol flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle.
The deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

Warning light What it means
MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
The warning light switches on when the main beam headlights are turned on.
IMPORTANT
21)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If thesymbol is displayed contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately after
refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: switch the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
22)If the
warning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km from
the first switching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty.
Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top up
the engine oil.
23)If the symbol flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.
24)Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The
engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine,
following the instructions above. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
