If the needle reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.The failure of the fifth symbol to come on should not be
taken as a fault or the fact that there is not enough oil in
the sump.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒if the next service is due, the time to the next
service is displayed and the warning light õlights up
on the instrument panel. When the service date is
reached, the display shows some dashes;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display and the message “OIL” appears in the
lower part of the display. When the service date is
reached, the display shows five dashes.
Versions with multifunction display
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the display
shows the oil level on the first row by turning five
symbols on/off. ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(for versions/markets where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication of the level of
oil in the engine.
Versions with digital display
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON, the
quantity of oil in the engine is displayed by means of five
symbols.
F0N1017g
The symbols are gradually turned off to indicate
a reduction in the oil level.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value
and a top-up is required, the display shows 5 dashes
intermittently.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump.

The standard screen shows the following information:
A Headlamp alignment position (only with dipped
headlamps on).
B Time (always displayed, even with the key extracted
and the front doors closed);
C Odometer (distance covered in kilometres or miles)
and TRIP data.
NOTE With key removed (when opening one of the
front doors) the display turns on and shows the time
and km or miles covered for a few seconds. The symbols are gradually turned off as the oil level
drops.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit, this does
not indicate a fault or that insufficient oil is present in
the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value,
the display shows a dedicated message indicating
minimum engine oil level and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒when the next scheduled servicing is near, the time
to the next service is displayed and the warning light
õlights up on the instrument panel. When the
service date is reached, the display shows
a dedicated message;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display. When the service interval has expired
a dedicated warning will be shown on the display.

If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil
through the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line. ENGINE OIL fig. 224-225-226
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on level
ground.
Check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
