INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE
(amber)
Under normal conditions, turn-
ing the ignition key to M, the warning
light turns on but it should go off after
engine starting.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, means a fault in the igni-
tion system which could cause possible
lack of performance, poor handling and
high consumption levels.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the
engine. In any case, contact Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.

ing light remains lit (led on the ESC
OFFbutton – switched off) it signals a
system dysfunction. In this case check
the tyre pressure and/or seek advice
from the Fiat Dealership. If the warning
light remains lit (led on the ESC OFF
button switched on) it signals the deacti-
vation of the system.
Notethe flashing of the warning light

Proceed as follows:❒
Connect positive terminals (+near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a
jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point
Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the vehicle to be start-
ed;
❒
Start the engine;
❒
When the engine has been started, re-
move the leads reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite the flammable gas from
the battery. If the other battery is fitted in
another vehicle, prevent accidental con-
tacts between the metal parts of the two
vehicles.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing, or coasting downhill) as this could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or to turn
the steering wheel.

The starting procedure must
be carried out by qualified
personnel because incorrect opera-
tions may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. The liquid con-
tained in the battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and light-
ed cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.

QUICK TYRE REPAIR
KIT FIX & GOThe quick tyre repair kit consists of a
compressor and a bottle (containing seal-
ing fluid).
Using the kit
1. Mark the flat tyre on the speed limit-
ing sticker. Stick the label on the steer-
ing wheel as a reminder that the car has
a temporary wheel.
2. Fix the bottle 1on the compressor 2.
3. Connect the bottle 1to the valve of the
tyre to be repaired.
4. Properly unfold the compressor pipe
before connecting it to the bottle.
5. Connect the electric wire to one of the
12 V vehicle sockets.
6. By pushing the button A, operate the
compressor until the tyre pressure
reaches 2.0 bar. If such pressure cannot
be reached, the tyre is irrepairable.7. Disconnect and store the compressor.
8. Drive at low speed for a few kilometres
to seal the puncture.
9. Use the compressor to adjust the pres-
sure following the recommended pro-
cedure for the vehicle and check that
the puncture is correctly sealed (no
pressure loss).
10. Drive at low speed (80 km/h). The
tyre must be checked and repaired by
a specialist as soon as possible.Once used, the bottle can be stored in the
plastic bag supplied with the kit to prevent
the fluid from staining the vehicle.
Do not dispose of the bottle in the envi-
ronment after use; have it recycled by a
Fiat Dealership or a designated body.
The bottle is available at every Fiat Deal-
ership.
