sage.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the en-
gine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damages. Con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

ate speed, trying to avoid driving condi-
tions that may cause further flashing and
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-

Check tyre pressure
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on to indicate the flat tyre.
Should two or more tyre be flat, the dis-
play will show the indications corre-
sponding to each tyre in sequence.
Restore proper inflation pressure values
as soon as possible (see paragraph “Cold
inflation pressures” in section “Technical
Specifications”).Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should it be required to journey at a speed
higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at pres-
sures values specified in paragraph “Infla-
tion pressures”.
If the T.P.M.S. system (where provided)
detects that the pressure of one or more
tyres is unsuitable for the current speed,
the warning light will turn on (together
with the message on the display) (see para-
graph “Low tyre pressure” in this section)
and it will stay on until the car speed slow
downs below the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down im-
mediately since tyre overheating could im-
pair tyre performance and life beyond re-
pair, and even make the tyre to blow-out.
Strong radio-frequency nois-
es could inhibit the regular
operation of the T.P.M.S. system.
This condition will be indicated by a
message (where provided). The warn-
ing message will go off automatical-
ly as soon as the radio-frequency
noise will stop to disturb the system.
