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.
w
LIGHT STAYS ON: LOW ENGINE OIL

When the ignition key is moved to MAR-ON, the
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
If the warning light vturns 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.

STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if instrument panel
warning light
Yremains on constantly.
JUMP STARTING fig. 157-158
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one. It is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership to check/replace the battery.
IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet.
You can go to our web site at www.fiat.com to find the Fiat Dealership nearest to you.
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because incorrect
actions may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not
cause sparks.

REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel (for versions/markets where provided) call for
some precautions, which are listed below. Proceed as follows to start the car:
❒raise the flap A to gain access to the positive battery
terminal fig. 157.
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒connect the negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to the earth point with a second cable as
shown in fig. 158;
❒Start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, follow the
sequence above in reverse order to remove the
leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
persist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of the battery.
If the auxiliary battery is installed on another vehicle,
prevent any metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally coming into
contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system are not activated until the engine
is started, a greater effort will therefore be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.Indicate that the vehicle is stationary
according to the regulations in force:
emergency lights, refracting warning triangle,
etc. Passengers should leave the vehicle,
particularly if it is very loaded, and wait for the
wheel to be changed away from on-coming
traffic. Apply the handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel (for versions/markets
where provided) is specific for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be used on
vehicles of a different model. Do not use spare
wheels of different models on your vehicle. The
wheel bolts are specific to your vehicle: do not
use them on other models and do not use bolts
of other models.

BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT Battery recharging procedure is given as
information only. This operation should be performed at
a Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Rapid battery charging with
high currents could damage the battery. Charge the
battery as follows:
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the battery terminals,
observing the poles;
❒turn on the charger;
❒after recharging, turn the battery charger off before
disconnecting the battery itself;
❒reconnect negative battery terminal.
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes.
The battery recharging operation must be
performed in a ventilated place, away from
naked flames or possible sources of sparks to
avoid the risk of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Don’t try to recharge a frozen battery: If
the battery was frozen, have it inspected
by skilled personnel before recharging to check
that the internal elements are not damaged and
that the casing is not cracked, which causes the
risk of leakage of poisonous, corrosive acid.
