SAVING FUEL
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise
harmful emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitric oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
General conditions which influence fuel consumption
are shown below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affect fuel consumption
and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effect
on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, auxiliary
headlights, windscreen wipers and fan heater use up
a considerable amount of current, causing increased
fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The air conditioner leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect
aerodynamics and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles affecting fuel consumption
are shown below.
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when
the vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to
warm up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is advisable to set off
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs: this allows
the engine to warm up more quickly.

ABS SYSTEM FAULT (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light comes on when the system is
either not working properly or not available. In this
case the braking system maintains its own unaltered
efficiency but without the advantage of the ABS
system. Drive carefully and go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
EBD FAULT (red/amber)
Simultaneous lighting of warning lights
and
with the engine running indicates an EBD system
fault or that the system is not available. In this case,
the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle
may swerve when braking sharply. Drive very
carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have the system
inspected immediately.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
ESP/TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM
FAULT (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
If the warning light does not go off, or stays on
together with the LED on the ASR OFF button when
travelling, contact a Fiat Dealership.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
NoteFlashing of the warning light while driving
indicates the action of the ESP system.
LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE (red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on, but it should go out as soon as
the engine is started.
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly
(in versions/markets, where provided) along with the
message on the display when the system detects
that engine oil pressure is low.

WARNING
If the warning lightturns on when
the car is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
SEAT BELT REMINDER (red)
The warning light on the panel comes on steadily
when the vehicle is stationary and the driver'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 moving.
The SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) acoustic warning tone
can be disabled only by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions, the system can be reactivated
from the setup menu.
DOOR OPEN (red)
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when
one or more doors or the boot are not properly
closed.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL (red)
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning
light turns on but it should go off after a few
seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the
engine oil level falls below the minimum
recommended 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
Always drive at a speed appropriate to
t
he traffic conditions, the weather
and the laws in force.The engine may be turned
off while the DPF light is on; however, repeated
interruption of the regeneration process may
result in premature degradation of engine
oil. For this reason, it is always advisable to wait
for the light to go off before turning off the
engine, following the instructions appearing
above. It is recommended to complete DPF
regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
FUEL RESERVE (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when about 6 to 7 litres
of fuel are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light will blink to indicate
a system failure. If this is the case, go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.
GLOW PLUG PREHEATING/GLOW
PLUG FAULT (amber)
Glow plugs preheating
This warning light comes on when the key is turned
to MAR. It will go out as soon as the glow plugs have
reached a preset temperature.
Start the engine as soon as the warning light goes
out.
IMPORTANT When it is particularly warm outside,
the warning light stays on for an extremely short
time.
Glow plug preheating fault
The warning light flashes if there is a fault in the
preheating system. Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

❒operate the jack and lift the vehicle until the wheel
is several centimetres off the ground. When
turning the crank, ensure that it rotates freely in
order to avoid grazing your hands against the
ground. The moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause injuries, so do
not touch them. If you become soiled with thelubricating grease, wash it off thoroughly;
❒fully loosen the fastening bolts and remove the
wheel;
❒make sure the contact surfaces between spare
wheel and hub are clean so that the fastening bolts
will not come loose;
❒fit the standard wheel by inserting the first bolt
two threads B fig. 123 into the hole closest to
the inflation valve A;
❒fit the hub cap, making sure that the symbol
(on
the cap) aligns with the inflation valve, and then
insert the other three bolts;
❒tighten the bolts using the wrench provided;
❒for vehicles with alloy rim, fit the hub cap;
❒turn the jack handle to lower the vehicle, and
remove the jack;
