Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
If there is enough oil, the lubrication sys-
tem should be inspected by your Fiat Deal-
ership before you drive the vehicle again.
IMPORTANT
❒If you operate the engine with this light
on, severe engine damage can result.
❒Do not rely on the Oil Pressure Light
to indicate the need to add oil. Be
sure to periodically check the engine
oil level.
Oil Life Monitoring
(for Diesel Engine Model)
Your vehicle also has the oil life monitor-
ing system that let you know when to
change the engine oil and filter.
If the oil pressure light blinks, you should
change the engine oil and oil filter imme-
diately since the monitoring system has
calculated that oil life has been diminished
by detecting a deterioration, increase or
decrease of engine oil. The blinking light
goes out after 1 minute and comes back
on every hour. If the life of engine oil re-
mains 0%, the oil pressure light blinks for
1 minute when the engine is started. You
should change the engine oil and filter at
the first blink. For details on how to
change the engine oil, refer to “Changing
Engine Oil and Filter” in “INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE” section.
Whenever the engine oil is changed, the
light must be reset to monitor the next oil
change timing properly. To reset the light,
consult your Fiat Dealership.
