SEAT BELT NOT FASTENED (red)
The warning light on the display lights up per-
manently when the car is not moving and the dri-
ver’s seat belt is not correctly fastened. It will flash,
and be accompanied by an audible warning, if the front seat
belts are not correctly fastened when the vehicle is mov-
ing. The SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system’s audible warn-
ing can be disabled only by a Fiat Dealership. On some ver-
sions the system can be reactivated from the setup menu.
<
LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL (red)
(for versions/markets where provided)
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the
warning light turns on but it should go off after a
few seconds. This warning light where provided comes on
when the engine oil level falls below the minimum rec-
ommended value. Restore the correct engine oil level (see
“Checking fluid levels” in the “Servicing and care” section).
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

Warning lights
xand >lit at the
same time with the engine running in-
dicates an EBD system failure or that the system is not
available. This may cause premature locking of the rear
wheels in the event of violent braking, causing the car to
swerve. Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have
the system inspected immediately.
On some versions the display shows the associated mes-
sage.> x
INJECTION SYSTEM FAULT

EOBD SYSTEM FAULT
(petrol versions – amber)
Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to MAR,
the warning light turns on but it should go off after the en-
gine starts.
If the warning light stays on or comes on when travelling,
it means there is a fault in the injection system which could
cause loss of performance, poor handling and high fuel con-
sumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions. Un-
der these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at
moderate speed without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. In any case, you should go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible.

Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threads before assembly: they might spon-
taneously unscrew.
WARNING
The jack may be used to replace wheels
only on the car which it equips or other
cars of the same model. Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other models. Nev-
er use the jack to carry out repairs under the car.
Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher
than the one shown on its label.
WARNING
If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it may
come off when the car is travelling. Nev-
er tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between the rim and the
tyre. Check tyre and spare wheel pressures regu-
larly, referring to the values shown in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section.
WARNING

❒the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks, it must be re-
placed with the same type;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on
the jack.

Halogen lamps must be handled holding
the metallic part only. Touching the trans-
parent part of the bulb with your fingers
may reduce the intensity of the light emitted and
even compromise the longevity of the bulb itself. In
the event of accidental contact, wipe the bulb with
an alcohol-soaked cloth and allow to dry.
Changes or repairs to the electrical system
(electronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without due consideration for the
technical specifications of the system can lead to
malfunctioning and generate a fire hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain gas under pres-
sure. If they break, glass fragments could
fly everywhere.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the light may appear
slightly misty: this does not indicate a fault, and is actually
caused by low temperature and the degree of humidity
in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the head-
lights are switched on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of water. Go to a Fiat Deal-
ership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your vehicle.
A Glass bulbs: pushed into position. Pull to extract.
B Bayonet-type bulbs: to remove from its holder, press
the bulb in and turn it anti-clockwise.
