Switching the heating
system off
Deactivation of the system, depending
on the type of activation (automatic
or manual), may be:
❒automaticwhen the programmed
duration is over; when the set time
is over, the display switches off.❒manualpressing the “immediate
heating” button on the timer again
(flame button 6).
In both cases, the heating warning light,
the display lighting and the passenger
compartment heater fan go off and
burning stops.
The fluid circulation pump continues to
work for around two minutes to
dissipate as much heat as possible; the
heater can be turned back on during
this stage.
22)
IMPORTANT The parking heater goes
off when battery voltage is low to allow
the vehicle to be started.
IMPORTANT Before turning on the
device, ensure that the fuel level is
above the reserve. Otherwise the
device could lock and require
the assistance of a Fiat Dealership.
❒Always turn off the heater when
refuelling and near service stations to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire
hazards.
❒Do not park the vehicle on
inflammable material such as paper,
grass or dry leaves: fire hazard!❒The temperature near the heater
should not exceed 120°C (e.g. during
oven painting in a body shop). The
electronic control unit components
may be damaged at higher
temperatures.
❒Whilst the heater is operating with the
engine switched off, it absorbs
energy from the battery; the engine
should therefore be left running
for a while to make sure that the
battery is properly recharged.
❒To check the coolant level, follow the
instructions in the "Vehicle
maintenance" chapter, "Engine
coolant system fluid" paragraph. The
water in the heating circuit must
contain a minimum percentage of
10% antifreeze.
❒For maintenance and repairs, consult
only a Fiat Dealership and use only
original parts.
MAINTENANCE
Have the additional heater checked
regularly at a Fiat Dealership (and
always at the start of every winter). This
will guarantee safe and economic
operation of the heater as well as a long
duration.

VEHICLE INACTIVITY
In the event of vehicle inactivity, special
attention must be paid to the
disconnection of the battery power
supply. Proceed as follows: detach
connector A fig. 133 (by pressing
button B) from sensor C for monitoring
the status of the battery installed on
the negative battery pole D. This sensor
should never be disconnected from
the pole except if the battery is
replaced.
83) 84)
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP, wait at least 1 minute
before disconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery.JUMP STARTING
85)
In the event of jump starting fig. 134
with a booster battery, never connect
the negative lead (-) of the booster
battery to the negative pole C of the
vehicle's battery, but rather to an
engine/gearbox earth point (follow the
lead connection procedure described in
the "Jump starting" paragraph in the
chapter "In an emergency").
IMPORTANT
17) If the climate comfort is to be
favoured, the Start&Stop system
can be deactivated, for a
continuous operation of the
climate control system.
WARNING
83) The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been
removed or turned to the STOP
position. When refuelling, make
sure that the car is switched off
with the key in the STOP position.
84) If the battery needs to be
replaced, always contact a Fiat
Dealership. The replacement
battery should be of the same
type (L6 105Ah/850A) and should
have the same characteristics.

WARNING
87) Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-
standard wheel hubs: they could
reduce the ventilation of the
brakes and affect efficiency
during sharp, repeated braking or
on long descents. Make sure
that nothing obstructs the pedal
stroke (mats, etc.)
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
IN BRIEF
Refuel the vehicle exclusively with
diesel for motor vehicles in
compliance with European
specification EN590.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
OPERATION AT LOW
TEMPERATURES
If the outside temperature is very low,
diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART
additive in the proportions shown on
the container. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
18)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top-ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK CAP
For refuelling, open flap A fig. 140 and
unscrew cap B turning the ignition
key anticlockwise; the cap is fitted with
a safety device C which fastens it to
the flap so it cannot be mislaid.The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
When refuelling, fasten the cap to the
device inside the flap as shown in
fig. 140.
88)
IMPORTANT
18) Only refuel with automotive
diesel complying with the
European specification EN 590.
The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the
damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types
of fuel into the tank, do not start
the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time,
you must not only drain the fuel
tank, but the rest of the supply
circuit as well.
WARNING
88) 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 diesel fuel engine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
89)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the exhaust
system, that physically traps carbon
particles present in the exhaust gases
of diesel engines.

SPEEDOMETER (speed
indicator)
Indicator A shows the speed of the car.
REV COUNTER
Indicator C shows the engine revs.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is over-revving, resulting in a gradual
loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual or
sudden increase of the speed.
This is normal and does not indicate a
fault. It may be caused, for example, by
the activation of the climate control
system or fan. In these cases, a slow
change in revs is used to protect the
battery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Needle E shows the amount of fuel left
in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in
paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this
chapter).The warning light on the indicator
switches on when there are about
10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with
tank capacity 90-120 l) or 10 l (for
versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty
to prevent damaging the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and the warning light will flash to
indicate a fault in the system. If this is
the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to
activate the additional Webasto heater
in reserve conditions.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle D shows the temperature of
the engine coolant and starts
supplying indications when the fluid
temperature exceeds approx. 50°C. In
normal use, the needle could assume
different positions within the scale,
depending on the usage conditions.
C - Low engine coolant temperature.
H - High engine coolant temperature.The warning light on the indicator may
light up (and a message on the display
may appear on certain versions) to
indicate that the coolant fluid
temperature is too high; in this case,
stop the engine and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
19)
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 fig. 145 - fig. 146
shows the oil level by lighting up /
switching off five symbols.
The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil level.145 - Versions with multifunction display

amberTPMS
TPMS failure
The warning light switches on when a fault is
detected in the TPMS.In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on to indicate that the
tyre pressure is lower than the recommended value
and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In
these circumstances, optimal tyre duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.
IMPORTANT
22) If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON, the
warning light does not switch on or if it stays on steadily or
flashing when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
23) The presence of water in the supply 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. If the above indication occurs
immediately after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
24) During regeneration, the fan may be activated.
