• Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now. Under conditions of exclusive short duration and
low speed driving and low speed driving cycles, the
engine and exhaust after-treatment system may
never reach the conditions required to remove the
trapped PM. If this occurs the “Exhaust System Re-
generation Required Now” message will be displayed
on the EVIC. By driving your vehicle at highway
speeds for as little as 30 minutes, you can remedy the
condition in the particulate filter system by allowing
the trapped PM to be removed to restore the system
to normal operating condition.
• Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now. The engine will be de-rated to prevent permanent dam-
age to the after-treatment system. If this condition
occurs, it is necessary to have your vehicle serviced
by your local authorized dealer.

EVIC RED TELLTALE LIGHTS
This area will show reconfigurable red telltales. These
telltales include:
• Door AjarThis light will turn on to indicate that one or
more doors may be ajar.
• Oil Pressure Warning Light This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the
light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when this light turns on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.
This light does not show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked under the hood.
• Charging System Light This light shows the status of the electrical
charging system. The light should come on when
the ignition is first cycled ON and remain on briefly as
a bulb check. If the light stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's non-essential
electrical devices or increase engine speed (if at idle). If
the charging system light remains on, it means that the
vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging
system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an autho-
rized dealer. If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting
Procedures” in “In An Emergency”.
• Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
The light will come on when the ignition is first
turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during starting, have
the system checked by an authorized dealer.
If a problem is detected, the light will come on while
the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the
vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is
placed in the PARK position (for versions/markets,
where provided). The light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your
vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light
is flashing when the engine is running, immediate ser-
vice is required. You may experience reduced perfor-
mance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing.
• Engine Temperature Warning Light This light warns of an overheated engine condi-
tion. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H,this indicator will illuminate and a

Failure to properly follow floor mat installation
or mounting can cause interference with the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the vehicle.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make
Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven
wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other
objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the
tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect sidewalls for cuts,
cracks and bulges. Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for proper cold infla-
tion pressure. Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake lights
and exterior lights while you work the controls. Check
turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instru-
ment panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for
fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if
gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering
fluid (for versions/markets, where provided), or brake
fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be located
and corrected immediately.

•The metal end fitting from Power Plug
(8) may get hot after use, so it should be
handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the cap on the fitting at the
end of the Sealant Hose (6) can result in sealant
contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s
interior. It can also result in sealant contacting
internalTIREFIT kit components which may cause
permanent damage to the kit .
(D) Drive Vehicle:
Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire,
drive the vehicle 8 km or 10 minutes to ensure distri-
bution of the TIREFIT Sealant within the tire. Do not
exceed 88 km/h.
WARNING!
TIREFIT is not a permanent flat tire
repair. Hav
e the tire inspected and re-
paired or replaced after using TIREFIT. Do not
exceed 88 km/h until the tire is repaired or
replaced. Failure to follow this warning can result
in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your
passengers, and others around you. (E) After Driving:
Pull over to a safe location. Refer to “Whenever You
Stop to Use TIREFIT” before continuing.
1. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Air Mode
position.
2. Uncoil the power plug and insert the plug into the vehicle's 12 Volt power outlet.
3. Uncoil the Air Pump Hose (7) (black in color) and screw the fitting at the end of hose (7) onto the
valve stem.
4. Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pres- sure Gauge (3).
If tire pressure is less than 1.3 Bar, the tire is too
badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle
further. Call for assistance.
If the tire pressure is 1.3 bar or higher:
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn on TIREFIT and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated on the tire
and loading information label on the driver-side
door opening.
NOTE: If the tire becomes over-inflated, press the
Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure to the
recommended inflation pressure before continuing.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE —
DIESEL ENGINE
To help you have the best driving experience possible,
the manufacturer has identified the specific vehicle
maintenance service intervals that are required to keep
your vehicle operating properly and safely.
The manufacturer recommends that these maintenance
intervals be performed at your selling dealer. The tech-
nicians at your dealership know your vehicle best, and
have access to factory trained information, genuine FIAT
parts, and specially designed electronic and mechanical
tools that can help prevent future costly repairs.
The maintenance intervals shown should be performed
as indicated in this section.
The vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Required” message
will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 sec-
onds after a single chime has sounded to indicate thenext scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based, which
means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate
dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN
position. To turn off the message temporarily, press
and release the Menu button.
NOTE:
• Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 24 months.
• Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular
wear.
Failure to perform the required mainte-
nance items may result in damage to the
vehicle.
