Depress the clutch pedal fully to change
gear correctly. Therefore, the floor area
under the pedals should be clear: ensure that any
rubber mats are flat and do not interfere with the
pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
gear lever, because this pressure, even if
light, can wear out the inner components
of the gearbox over time. The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do not drive with
your foot resting on the clutch pedal, however
slightly. For versions/markets where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut in by interpret-
ing the incorrect driving style as a fault.
SAVING FUEL
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise harm-
ful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric oxides,
unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
1. Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
2. Check tyre pressures regularly, at least once every
four weeks. Excessively low pressures will increase
consumption because rolling resistance will be high-
er. In addition, this wears the tyre more quickly and
impairs performance.
3. Only use snow tyreswhen the weather conditions
make them absolutely necessary. They increase con-
sumption and noise.
4. Do not travel with a heavy load: the weight of the
vehicle (especially when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.

CONTINUOUSLY ON:
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
LOW (red)
FLASHING:
ENGINE OIL DEGRADED
(only Multijet versions with DPF – 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.
1. Engine oil pressure low
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly along
with a message on the display (in versions/markets where
provided) when the system detects that engine oil pres-
sure is low.

v
If the warning light vturns on when the
car is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display), stop the
car immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
2. Engine oil degraded
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will ap-
pear on the display (for versions/markets where provid-
ed). The warning light may flash in the following ways, de-
pending on the version:
– for one minute every two hours;
– for three minute cycles with the warning light off for
intervals of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started
up, the warning light will continue to flash in the same ways
as described above, until the oil is changed. A specific mes-
sage will appear on the display (for versions/markets where
provided) in addition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the ve-
hicle is defective, but simply informs the driver that it is
now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular ve-
hicle use.
Note that engine oil degrades faster under the following
circumstances:
– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent
– use of the vehicle for short journies, preventing the en-
gine from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

RIGHT-HAND DIRECTION
INDICATOR (green – intermittent)
The warning light turns on when the direction
indicator stalk is moved upwards or, together with
the left indicator, when the hazard lights button is pressed.

ASR SYSTEM
(versions with multifunction display)
(for versions/markets, where provided)

When you press ASR OFF again, the button LED will turn
off and the display will show a specific message to inform
you that the system is on again.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the gear shift indica-
tor suggests gear changes to the driver (SHIFT UP or
SHIFT DOWN) via a special display on the control pan-
el. This suggestion to change gear is designed to improve
consumption and ensure the best driving style.
NBThe sign on the instrument panel remains on until the
driver changes gear or until the driving conditions return
to a situation where a gear change is not required to re-
duce consumption.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for main-
tenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and electronic
devices may cause severe damage to your
vehicle. Go to a Fiat Dealership if you want
to install accessories (anti-theft device, mobile
phone, etc.): they will suggest the most suitable de-
vices and advise you if a higher-capacity battery
needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances that can be
very harmful to the environment. It is ad-
visable to have the battery changed by a Fi-
at Dealership, where it will be disposed of proper-
ly and in accordance with the law.
If the vehicle must remain unused for a long
time at very low temperatures, remove the
battery and take it to a warm place to
avoid freezing.
If you have to perform any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
