brake fluid FIAT TIPO 5DOORS STATION WAGON 2016 1.G Owners Manual

Warning light What it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / PARKING BRAKE ON
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has
switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the parking brake is engaged.
POWER STEERING FAILURE
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on when the ignition device is brought to MAR, but it
should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you
could not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be
increased; steering is, however, possible. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on
indicates either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
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.

STARTING THE
ENGINE
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on
the display.
ENGINE STARTING
PROCEDURE
103) 104) 105) 106)
28) 29) 30) 31)
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and place
the gear lever in neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
only for diesel versions, bring the
ignition device to MAR, warning light
will come on in the instrument
panel and wait for the warning light to
switch off;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within 10
seconds, bring the ignition device back
to STOP and wait for 10-15 secondsbefore repeating the starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
103)Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
104)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
105)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
106)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
28)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km, you do
not drive to full car performance (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking, etc.).
29)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.30)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
31)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be used
as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.

51) 52)
The Fix&Go Automatic kit is located in
the luggage compartment fig. 143,
inside a dedicated container. The
container is also equipped with a
screwdriver, the tow hook and the
refuelling adaptor.
The Fix&Go Automatic kit also includes:
one tank 1 fig. 144 containing the
sealing fluid, provided with: filler tube 2
and adhesive label 3 with the writing
"Max. 80 km/h”, to be attached in a
position easily visible to the driver (eg.on the dashboard) after repairing the
tyre;
compressor 4 complete with
pressure gauge and connectors;
an instruction leaflet, to refer to for
prompt and correct use and that must
be then given to the personnel dealing
with the tyre treated with sealant;
a pair of gloves located in the side
compartment of the compressor;
some adaptors, for inflating different
elements.

IN AN EMERGENCY

compartment. Remove the adhesive
label of speed 3 fig. 144 and apply it in
a visible position. Wear the protective
gloves provided. Remove the cap from
the valve of the punctured tyre and
connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 1
fig. 145;
ensure that the on-off button 1
fig. 146 is in0(OFF) position. If
provided, open the cover of the
compressor 4 fig. 144 and insert the
electrical connector in the car’s 12V
socket fig. 147, start the car engine;
activate the compressor moving
on-off 1 button toI(ON) position
fig. 146. When the pressure gauge 2
shows the car’s required pressure (see
section “Wheels” under “Technical data”
chapter), switch off the compressor
moving on-off button 1 to0position. If
after 5 minutes from the compressorignition, the pressure gauge 2 indicates
a pressure less than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
switch off the compressor, disconnect
the sealing fluid tube from the tyre
valve, re-screw the valve cap and move
the car about 10 meters to allow the
distribution of sealing fluid in the tyre.
Stop the car safely and repeat the
operation above until the required
pressure is reached. If after other 5 min.
from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge 2 still indicates a
pressure lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
the TYRE IS TOO DAMAGED AND
CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Remove and
place the kit in the specific
compartment and contact a Fiat
Dealership;
if the required pressure is reached,
restart driving. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
place the vehicle in a safe and suitable
area, engaging the parking brake. Pick
up the kit, ensure the on-off button 1 is
in0position, insert the electrical
connector in the car’s 12V socket.
Remove the cap from the valve of
repaired tyre, disconnect and pull out
the black inflation tube 1 fig. 148,
connect and block it with the stack to
the valve. Inspect the pressure gauge 2
to check the tyre pressure fig. 146;
if the pressure indicated is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS TOO
DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE
REPAIRED. Remove and place the kit in
the specific compartment and contact a
Fiat Dealership;
