WARNING
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank
opening: fire risk. Keep your face away from
the fuel filler to prevent breathing in harmful
vapours.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENTThe following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions:
❒three-way catalytic converter (catalytic
converter)
❒oxygen sensors
❒evaporation control 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 engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
❒particulate filter (DPF).
WARNING
The catalytic converter develops high
temperature during operation. Do
not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material: fire
hazard.

DPF (DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER) CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only diesel versions with DPF)
(amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light (together
with a message and a symbol on the display on
some versions) switches on constantly to notify the
driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
captured pollutants (particulate) by the
regeneration process.
The warning light does not switch on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified. To switch the
warning light off, the car must be kept moving until
the regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts fifteen minutes. The
best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached driving the car at about 60
km/h with engine speed over 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not
indicate a fault of the car and it should therefore
not be taken to a workshop. A specific message will
appear on the display when the warning light
comes on (for versions/markets, where provided).
WARNING
The driving speed should always be
suitable to traffic conditions, weather
conditions and the driver should always
comply with traffic regulations.The engine
may be turned off while the DPF light is on;
however, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in premature
degradation of the engine oil. For this reason,
always wait until the warning light switches off
before stopping the engine as described
above. It is not a good idea to complete DPF
regeneration with the car stationar y.FUEL RESERVE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch 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 flash to indicate
a system failure. If this is the case, go to the Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.

HILL HOLDER FAILURE
(amber)
The

amber)
GLOW PLUG PREHEATING
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR-ON and switches off when the
plugs have reached the preset temperature. Start
the engine as soon as the warning light switches off.
IMPORTANT At moderate or high ambient
temperatures the warning light may stay on for an
extremely short time.
GLOW PLUG PREHEATING FAILURE
The warning light flashes if there is a fault in the
preheating system. Contact a Fiat Dealership
to have the fault fixed as soon as possible.The
display will show the dedicated message.
WATER IN DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(MultiJet versions - amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when there is water in
the diesel filter.
The display will show the dedicated message.The presence of water in the fuel system
circuit may cause severe damage to
the injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the warning light
switches on (on
some versions together with the dedicated
message on the display), contact a Fiat
Dealership 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 Dealership.
ABS SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds.

❒check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of the accessory drive

❒check and, if necessary, replace pollen filter.
CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and
could seriously damage the car.
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment : inflammable
gases and vapours may be present ,
constituting a fire risk.
