PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided).
To close
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise
until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the
flap.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure
in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes
near to the fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep
your face away from the fuel tank open-
ing to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.

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 8-10 litres of fuel are
left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light will blink to indicate a sys-
tem failure. If this happens, go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions with DPF
– amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
turns on but should go off after a few seconds. The warn-
ing light stays on constantly to notify the driver that the
DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants (par-
ticulate) by the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving conditions require no-
tification to the driver.
The warning light will go off if the vehicle stays in motion
until regeneration has been completed. The process nor-
mally takes about 15 minutes. Optimum conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at
60 km/h with engine revs above 2000 rpm.
If this warning light comes on, it does not mean the vehi-
cle is defective, so there is no need to take it to a garage.
A specific message will appear on the display when the
warning light comes on (for versions/markets where pro-
vided).
h
ç
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine may be turned off while the DPF
light is on; however, repeated interruption of the re-
generation process may result in premature degra-
dation of the engine oil. For this reason, it is always
advisable to wait for the light to go off before turn-
ing off the engine, following the instructions ap-
pearing above. It is recommended to complete DPF
regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

Glow plug preheating fault
The warning light flashes if there is a fault in the preheat-
ing system. Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

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 warn-
ing light goes out.
IMPORTANT In hot outside temperatures, the warning
light may stay on for only a very short time.

WATER IN DIESEL FILTER (Multijet versions – 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
cturns on when there is water in the
diesel filter. A specific message is displayed on certain ver-
sions.
c
The presence of water in the fuel supply cir-
cuit may cause severe damage to the in-
jection system and irregular engine opera-
tion. If warning light
ccomes on (with a message
on the display on some versions), go to a Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.

The battery fluid is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.
WARNING
AIR FILTER/POLLEN FILTER
Have the air filter or the pollen filter replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
DIESEL FILTER
CONDENSATION DISCHARGE
(Multijet versions)
BAT T ERY
The battery is of the “limited maintenance” type: under
normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does not need
topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked regularly at a Fiat
Dealership or by specialist personnel to make sure it is
working properly.
The presence of water in the supply circuit
may cause severe damage to the injection
system and irregular engine operation. If
the warning light
ccomes on, go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
