KNOWING YOUR CAR

Warning light What it means
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.
ESC SYSTEM
ESC system activation
Intervention by the system is indicated by the flashing of the warning light: it indicates that the car is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC system failure
If the warning light does not switch off, or if it stays on with the engine running, a failure was found on the
ESC system. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Hill Hold Control system failure
The warning light turns on to indicate a Hill Holder Control system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.

49)The capability of the TC must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
50)The PBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
51)The PBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
52)The capability of the PBA system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise the safety of the driver, the
other occupants of the vehicle or any other
road user.
53)The Hill Hold Control system is not a
parking brake; therefore, never leave the
vehicle without having engaged the parking
brake, turned the engine off and engaged
first gear, so that it is parked in safe
conditions (for further information read the
"Parking" paragraph in the "Starting and
driving" chapter).
54)There may be situations on small
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle
laden, in which the Hill Hold Control system
may not activate, causing a slight reversing
motion and increasing the risk of collision
with another vehicle or object. The driver is,
in any case, responsible for safe driving.
55)The performance of a vehicle with ERM
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other
people at risk.56)When towing trailers, the utmost
caution at the wheel is recommended.
Never exceed the maximum permitted
loads (see the description in the "Weights"
paragraph in the "Technical Specifications"
chapter).
57)The TSC system cannot prevent
swerving for all trailers. If the system
activates during driving, reduce the speed,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and arrange
the load correctly to prevent the trailer from
swerving.DRIVING

The Full Brake Control system is a
SUPPLEMENTARY AID to help the
driver avoid hitting the vehicles in front.
It does not replace the driver, who must
maintain the safety distance and adjust
the vehicle’s speed according to the
traffic, visibility and weather conditions,
even when the system is active.
DO NOT wait for a collision warning to
reduce speed. If the driver fails to use
the brake pedal, it could cause a
collision.
The Full Brake Control system does not
detect pedestrians, animals or other
obstacles that cross the direction of
travel, nor vehicles traveling in the
opposite direction.
The Fill Brake Control system consists
of a radar located behind the front
bumper fig. 53.

each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the
warning light may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.
To carry out the RESET, with the vehicle
stationary and the engine on, hold
down the Reset button
located on
the left control panel fig. 58 for at least
2 seconds.
When the RESET procedure has been
carried out, and depending on the type
of instrument panel, either only a buzzer
will be heard or the message "Reset
saved" will appear together with the
buzzer to indicate that self-learning has
started.Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads) the signalling may be delayed or
partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.
Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" tyre repair kit, fitting
snow chains, fitting different tyres on
the axles) the system may provide false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated
the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuouslyon; at the same time, the display shows
a warning message.
This indication is displayed also after
the engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
In the case of abnormal signals, it is
recommended to perform the RESET
procedure. If the signals reappear once
the RESET procedure has started,
check that the type of tyres used are
the same on all four wheels and that the
tyres are not damaged; if the
space-saver wheel is being used, refit
the wheel with a tire with normal
dimensions instead of the space-saver
wheel as soon as possible; if possible
remove the snow chains; make sure
that the load is distributed correctly and
repeat the RESET procedure, driving on
a clean and surfaced road. If the signals
persist, contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
58)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.

To replace the bulbs, proceed as
follows:
use the screwdriver provided to
remove the lens unit 1 fig. 123;
turn the bulb holder 2
fig. 124 anticlockwise, remove the bulb
3 and replace it;
refit the lens unit, pressing it lightly.
NOTE Before removing the lens unit,
put a protection (e.g. cloth) on the tip of
the screwdriver, in order not to damage
the lens itself.
WARNING
127)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER OF
SCALDING!
128)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.129)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
130)Only replace bulbs when the engine is
off. Also ensure that the engine is cold, to
prevent the risk of burns.
IMPORTANT
46)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.122P2000080-000-000123P1030157-000-000

coincide with the inflation valve;
place the inner part of the hub cap
on the wheel rim;
engage the hub cap by applying an
axial force in several points as shown in
fig. 142 to allow the correct coupling
between hub cap and wheel.NOTE The hub cap cannot be fitted to
the space-saver wheel.
NOTE If replacing a wheel with alloy
rim, stove it temporarily into the spare
wheel compartment with the cosmetic
side facing upwards.
WARNING
135)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute a
serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing
in the boot.
136)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
137)Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the
wheel is being changed.138)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: use it
only in the positions indicated. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
139)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT
49)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.

SERVICING AND CARE

ENGINE OIL
151)
56)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick.
If the level of the oil is close to or below
the MIN mark, add oil via the filler fitting
until the MAX mark is reached.
Take out the engine oil dipstick, clean it
with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
57)
3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to be run in; therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.ENGINE COOLANT FLUID

when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal to
or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic
(i.e. it absorbs moisture). For this
reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in
areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should
be replaced at more frequent intervals
than specified in the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan".

WINDSCREEN / REAR
WINDOW WIPERS
161)
Periodically clean the windscreen and
rear window and rubber profile of the
windscreen/rear window wiper blades,
using a sponge or a soft cloth and a
non-abrasive detergent. This eliminates
the salt or impurities accumulated when
driving.
Prolonged operation of the windscreen
window wipers with dry glass may
cause the deterioration of the blades, in
addition to abrasion of the surface of
the glass. To eliminate the impurities on
the dry glass, always operate the
windscreen/rear window washers.
In the case of very low outdoor
temperatures (below 0 °C), ensure that
the movement of the rubber part in
contact with the glass is not
obstructed, before activating the
windscreen/rear window wiper. Use a
suitable deicing product to release it if
required.
Do not use the windscreen wipers to
remove frost or ice.
Also avoid contact of the rubber profile
of the blades with petroleum derivatives
such as engine oil, petrol, etc.
