If the needle reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.The symbols are gradually turned off as the oil level
drops.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit, this does
not indicate a fault or that insufficient oil is present in
the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value,
the display shows a dedicated message indicating
minimum engine oil level and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒when the next scheduled servicing is near, the time
to the next service is displayed and the warning light
õlights up on the instrument panel. When the
service date is reached, the display shows
a dedicated message;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display. When the service interval has expired
a dedicated warning will be shown on the display. ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(for versions/markets where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication of the level of
oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the display
shows the oil level on the first row by turning five
symbols on/off.

(In winter) the additional heater provides heat,
maintains the temperature and circulates the engine
coolant for the preset time in order to ensure the
optimum temperature conditions of the engine and the
passenger compartment when the engine is started up.
The heater can operate automatically when
programmed with a digital timer or manually by pressing
the “immediate heating” button on the timer.
After heater activation, either programmed or manual,
the electronic control unit operates the liquid
circulation pump and ignites the burner in accordance
with the preset, controlled procedures.
The circulation pump output is also controlled by the
electronic control unit in order to minimise the initial
heating time. When the system operates, the control unit turns on
the passenger compartment heater unit fan at the
second speed.
The thermal power of the boiler is regulated
automatically by the electronic control unit depending
on the temperature of the engine coolant.
IMPORTANT The heater is equipped with a thermal
limiter that cuts off combustion in the case of
overheating due to insufficient coolant/coolant leaks. In
this case, after repairing the fault in the cooling system
and/or topping up the fluid, press the program selection
button before turning the heater back on.
The heater can turn off spontaneously due to misfiring
after start-up or because the flame goes out during
operation. In this case, carry out the turning off
procedure and try to turn the heater back on. If it still
does not work, consult a Fiat Dealership.
Activation of the heating system
When an automatic climate control system is present,
the control unit sets the air temperature and
distribution when the heater is turned on from the park
position. When a manual heater/climate control is
present, to obtain maximum heater efficiency, check
that the passenger compartment heating/ventilation
temperature adjustment knob is in the ‘hot air’ position.
To prioritise passenger compartment pre-heating, set
the air distribution knob to the
©position.

2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light vblinks along with a message on
the display (for versions/markets, where provided)
when the system detects that engine oil pressure is low.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the
vehicle is defective, but simply informs the driver that
the oil needs to be changed as a result of regular
vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, warning light will
also come on and engine operation is limited to 3000
rpm when a second threshold is reached.
If the oil is not changed, the engine is limited to 1500
rpm to prevent damage when a third threshold is
reached.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is
accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent;
– use of the vehicle for short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching operating temperature;
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light coming on. LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should go
out as soon as the engine has started (with the
engine running at idle speed a brief delay before going
out is acceptable).
If the warning light stays on constantly or keeps flashing:
contact immediately Fiat Dealership.

warning light switches on, and should go out as soon as
the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly
along with a message on the display (for versions/
markets where provided) when the system detects that
engine oil pressure is low.
v

first comes on.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the engine could be severely damaged and it may
invalidate the warranty. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the
warning light flashes, never add oil.

DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(amber)
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON position the
warning light comes on but should go out after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on constantly when the DPF
system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants
through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on every time the
DPF is being regenerated, rather only when the driving
conditions are such that the driver needs to know it.
The warning light will go off if the vehicle stays in
motion until regeneration has been completed. As an
average, the process lasts fifteen 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
vehicle is defective, so there is no need to take it to
a garage.
For versions/markets where provided, the display
shows the dedicated message and the warning light
comes on.
hAlways drive at a speed appropriate to
the traffic conditions, the weather and
speed limits. The engine can also be switched off
if the DPF warning light is on; nevertheless,
repeated interruptions of the regeneration
process could cause an early decay of engine oil.
For this reason, always wait until the warning
light switches off before stopping the engine as
described above. It is not advisable to complete
DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
WARNING
During regeneration, the fan could be
operated.
