By turning the key to the Mposition, the warning light lights up, but it must switch itself off af-
ter a few seconds. The warning light lights up when the Cruise Control is activated.
The warning light lights up when the speed restrictor is activated.
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warning light turns on and it will turn off when glow plugs
reach the preset temperature. Start the engine immediately after warning light switching off.
IMPORTANT With hot ambient temperature, warning light stays on for very short time.
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warning light turns on, but it should go off after few sec-
onds. The warning light turns on when there is water in the diesel fuel filter.
m
The presence of water in the fuel circuit may cause serious damage to the
entire injection system and cause irregular engine operation. If the warning
light turns on, contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the sys-
tem relieved. If the above indications come on immediately after refuelling,
water has probably been poured into the tank: turn the engine off immediately and
contact Fiat Dealership.

IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL FEATURES
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment A- fig. 21must be intact. If not, re-
place the fuse with one of the same amp
rating (same colour).
Bundamaged fuse
Cfuse with damaged filament.
In order to substitute a fuse, it is neces-
sary to use the supplied nippers
A-fig. 21/asituated, together with the
spare fuses, behind removable door B.
fig. 21F0P0236m
Never change a fuse with
another with a higher amp
rating: DANGER OF FIRE.
WARNING
Never replace a broken fuse
with metal wires or anything
else.
If a general fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-
FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact Fiat Dealership. Be-
fore changing a fuse, check the igni-
tion key has been removed and that
all the other electric devices have
been turned off/disabled.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
for safety systems (air bag
system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.

IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT
IMPORTANT The battery charging pro-
cedure is described only for information
purposes. This operation should be car-
ried out by Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low amp rat-
ing for 24 hours. Charging for a longer
time may damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-
tery terminals, observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the charg-
er off before disconnecting the battery;
❒reconnect battery negative terminal.
The liquid contained in the
battery is poisonous and cor-
rosive. Avoid contact with the skin or
eyes. The battery should be charged
in a well ventilated place, away from
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: danger of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a
frozen battery: it must first-
ly be thawed, otherwise it may burst.
If freezing has occurred, the battery
should be checked by skilled person-
nel to make sure that the internal el-
ements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
WARNING
ECONOMY MODE
After switching off the engine, when the
key is at the Mposition, some functions
(windscreen wipers, window winders,
map lights, car radio, etc.) can be used on-
ly for a maximum of thirty minutes, so as
to avoid the battery to be run down.
Once these thirty minutes have passed,
the active functions are put in stand-by and
the warning light of the battery flashes, ac-
companied by a message on the display.
To immediately recover the use of these
functions, it is necessary to start the en-
gine and to keep it running for a few sec-
onds.
The time which will be available will be the
double of the engine starting time.
However, this period of time will be be-
tween five and thirty minutes.
If the battery is run down, the engine can-
not be started.

IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at
a charge of less than 50% (optical indica-
tor with dark colour without green area
in the middle) for any length of time will
be damaged by sulphation leading to a re-
duction in cranking power.
Moreover, this might lead to a higher risk
of the battery electrolyte freezing (this
may even occur at -10° C). If the vehicle
is inactive for a long period of time, refer
to “Vehicle inactivity”, in section “Correct
use of the vehicle”.
If after buying the vehicle, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the
most suitable devices, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking
whether the vehicle’s electric system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required,
or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and length-
en its life, observe the following indica-
tions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly, the ceiling lights must be off;
❒turn the ceiling lights off. The vehicle
however, is provided with an automat-
ic system for switching off internal
lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for
a long time when the engine is not run-
ning;
❒ before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened.
When working on the bat-
tery or near it, always wear
the proper goggles.
WARNINGIn fact, since these devices continue ab-
sorbing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the battery.
