INITIAL CHECK
Turning the ignition key to MAR, the multifunction display shows the message “Checking”: the diagnostic phase of all
the electronic systems on the car has started. This lasts few seconds: if no faults are detected, when the engine has
started, the display shows the “Check OK” message.
See section “Warning lights and messages” if faults are found.
Is the engine
started?YES
If no failures are
present
The “Service schedule” includes vehicle maintenance every 20,000 km (or 12,000 mi) or every year; this is shown automatically, with the
ignition key at MAR, starting from 2,000 km (or 1,240 mi) or 30 days from this deadline and it is shown again every 200 km (or 124 mi) or
3 days. For 1.3 Multijet versions, see “Care and Maintenance” in section “Service schedule to change engine oil and filter and air cleaner.
When a programmed maintenance interval (coupon) is near to come, turning the ignition key to MAR, will display the message “Service”
followed by the number of km, or days to go before car servicing. “Scheduled servicing” message is displayed in km, miles or days according
to the approaching service interval. Contact a Fiat Dealership to carry out any service operation provided by the “Service schedule” or
“Annual inspection plan”, and to reset the display.
If the display shows a failure message,
see details in section “Warning lights
and messages”.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of your car down and lower
the amount of toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an
interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to
rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage stowed in the
boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving in
town) and its trim greatly affects consumption and
stability.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof as
soon as they are no longer used. These accessories
lower air penetration and adversely affect
consumption levels. When needing to carry
particularly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing the
requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up
to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load which greatly
affects the engine leading to higher consumption (on
average up to +20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic items may
adversely affect air drag and consumption levels.

Uoperation can by
checked by traffic agents by proper equipment therefore, comply with laws and regulations
in force in the country where you are driving.
GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
The warning light on the dial comes on when the
