EOBD SYSTEM
The European On Board Diagnostic system (EOBD) fitted to engine and
automatic transmission (where provided) electronic control units allows
monitoring and warning of any malfunction to the electronic systems that
could increase exhaust emissions.
The objective is:
❒To keep system efficiency under control
❒Warn when a fault causes emission levels to increase
❒Warn of the need to replace deteriorated components
This diagnostic system indicates the presence of deteriorated
components or system malfunctioning (see section “Warning lights and
Messages”) by the turning on of the instrument panel warning light
U
(together with the relevant message on the multifunction display, where
provided).
NOTE: The car is provided with a diagnostic connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control units, together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This test can also be performed by traffic controller agents.
IMPORTANT: After a servicing operation at Fiat Dealership aimed to
eliminate malfunctioning connected to the EOBD system, in order to
check the system thoroughly it could be required to run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.

If turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if, while travelling it
turns on glowing steadily or flashing (together with the message on the multifunction display),
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. Warning light
Uoperation can be checked by means
of special equipment by traffic controller agents. Always comply with the traffic regulations in force
in the country where you are travelling.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before trying to start the
engine again.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light
¢
remains lit, turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine, contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the outside temperature is very
low, the use of a fluid oil facilitates cold starting.
During winter it is therefore recommended to
observe the specifications contained in section
“Technical specifications” at paragraph “Fluids and
lubricants”.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR
when the engine is off.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
(petrol and diesel versions)
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly.
❒do not drive at full performance for the initial
kilometres.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat CODE system fails to recognise the code
transmitted by the ignition key (warning light
¢on
instrument panel lit with fixed light) you can start the
engine by following the emergency procedure using
the code written on the CODE card.
See section “In an emergency”.
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill as this could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.WARNING
