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

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 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”).

IMPORTANT Before switching the device on, check
that the fuel level is higher than the reserve level.
Otherwise the device could lock and require the
assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when refuelling and near
service stations to avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on inflammable material
such as paper, grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!
❒The temperature near the heater should not exceed
120 °C (e.g. during stove painting in a body shop).
The electronic control unit components may be
damaged at higher temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the engine
switched off, it absorbs energy from the battery; the
engine should therefore be left running for a while to
make sure that the battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the instructions in
the “Vehicle maintenance” chapter in the “Engine
coolant system fluid” paragraph. The water in the
heating circuit must contain a minimum percentage
of 10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, only contact Fiat
Dealerships and only use genuine spare parts.
F0N0233mfig. 67
MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked regularly at a Fiat
Dealership (and always at the start of every winter).
This will guarantee safe and economic operation of the
heater as well as a long duration.
ADDITIONAL REAR HEATING
(Panorama and Combi)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Panorama and Combi versions have a main heating
system plus an additional one (on request) with the
controls in the roof lining above the second row of
seats, fig. 67.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the filament A-fig. 209 must be
intact. If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another
with the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse;
C fuse with damaged filament.
