contact wire are shown on a specific label on the door
edge. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the devices re-
placed when the expiry date approaches.

If case of car scrapping, have the air bag system deacti-
vated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the car changes owner-
ship, the new owner must be informed of the method of
use of air bags and the above warnings and also be given
this “Owner Handbook”.

CONTINUOUSLY ON: LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
FLASHING: EXHAUSTED ENGINE OIL
(only Multijet versions with DPF – red)
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes
on, but should go out as soon as the engine is started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light will turn on constantly together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) when the system detects that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.If the warning light
v
turns on when the
car is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display) stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil
(Multijet versions with DPF only)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the versions, the warning light flash-
ing modes are as follows:
– one minute every two hours;
– cycles of three minutes with intervals with the warning
light off for five seconds until the oil is changed.v
If the warning light comes on, the ex-
hausted engine oil should be changed as
soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km
from the first switching-on of this warning light.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the engine could be severely damaged and the
warranty may decay. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the warn-
ing light flashes, never add oil.
WARNING
After the first indication, at each engine start up the warn-
ing light will continue flashing as above described until the
oil is changed. For those versions/markets where provid-
ed, the display shows a dedicated message together with
the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be consid-
ered as as fault, rather simply informs the customer that
oil needs to be changed after a standard period of car util-
isation.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is ac-
celerated by:
– mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent;
– use of the car for short journeys, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature;
– repeated interruptions to the regeneration process sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

FUEL RESERVE (amber)
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light
turns on, but it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when about 5 litres fuel are left
in the tank.

DPF (DIESEL PARTICULATE TRAP)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions with DPF
– amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR position the warn-
ing light comes on but should go out after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on steadily when the DPF systems
needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants by the regen-
eration process.
The warning light does not come on every time the DPF
is being regenerated, rather only when the driving condi-
tions are such that the driver needs to know it. To switch
the warning light off, the car must be kept moving until the
regeneration process is completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration process
are reached driving the car at about 60 km/h with engine
speed over 2000 rpm. When this warning light comes on,
it does not indicate a car failure and thus it should not be
taken to the workshop. For versions/markets where pro-
vided, the display shows the dedicated message and the
warning light comes on.
h
The driving speed should always be suit-
able to traffic conditions, weather condi-
tions and the driver should always comply with
the Highway Code. The engine can also be
switched off if the DPF warning light is on; nev-
ertheless, repeated interruptions of the regener-
ation process could cause an early decay of en-
gine oil. For this reason, always wait until the
warning light switches off before stopping the en-
gine as above described. DPF regeneration should
not be completed when the car is at a standstill
