EOBD/INJECTION
SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
Under normal conditions, turning
the ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on, but it should go off when the en-
gine has started.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, means a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause high
emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of
performance, poor handling and high con-
sumption levels.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
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.
The warning light turns off if the fault dis-
appears, but it is still stored by the system.

If, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if it turns
on glowing steadily or flashing
when travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the dis-
play), contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. Warning light
Uoperation
can be checked by traffic agents by
proper equipment. Comply with laws
and regulations of the country where
you are driving.

Warning light turning on flashing indicates
the possibility of damage to the catalyst.
If the light flashes, it is necessary to release
the accelerator pedal to lower the speed
of the engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at moder-
ate speed, trying to avoid driving condi-
tions that may cause further flashing and
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.ESP SYSTEM

MARthe warning light turns on,
but it should go off after few seconds.
If the warning light does not turn off or
stays on when travelling together with the

sage is displayed.
Warning light flashing when driving indi-
cates that the ESP system is active.

FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used just for
restoring pressure. Disconnect the quick
connection and connect it directly to the
tyre valve fig. 16; in this way the cylinder
is not connected to compressor and the
sealing fluid will not flow into the tyre. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-
lows:
❒disconnect connection B-fig. 17;
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder to
replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;
❒connect connection Bto the cylinder
and fit the transparent tube Ainto the
proper space.
fig. 16F0Q0517mfig. 17F0Q0512m
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-
store proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
It is of vital importance to
communicate that the tyre
has been repaired using the quick tyre
repair kit. Hand the instruction
brochure to the personnel charged
with treating the tyre repaired with
the kit.
WARNING
If the pressure falls below 1.8
bars, do not drive any fur-
ther: the quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automatic cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Fiat Dealership.
