FIAT CODE SYSTEM FAILURE /
ALARM FAILURE / BREAK-IN
ATTEMPT (amber)
Fiat CODE system failure
When the key is turned to MAR-ON the warning
light will flash only once and then go off. If, with the
ignition key at MAR-ON, the warning light stays
on constantly, this indicates a possible failure (see
“Fiat CODE system” in the “Knowing your car”
section).
The display will show the dedicated message.
IMPORTANT Warning lights
and
(or the
symbol on the display) will switch on at the same
time to indicate a Fiat CODE system failure
If with the engine running the warning light
flashes, this means that the car is not protected
by the engine inhibitor device (see “Fiat CODE
system” in the “Knowing your car” section). In this
case, contact a Fiat Dealership to have all the keys
stored in the memory.

IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be compromised.
Stop the car, avoiding harsh braking and steering
manoeuvres. Replace the wheel immediately with the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided) or carry out a repair using the dedicated
kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the "In an emergency"
chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Check tyre pressure
This warning light switches on in the instrument
panel to indicate that the tyre pressure is below the
value recommended to guarantee long tyre life
and low fuel consumption. It may also indicate a slow
loss of pressure.
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence.
Restore correct tyre pressures as soon as possible
(see “Cold tyre pressures” in the “Technical
specifications” chapter).Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should you need to travel at a speed higher than 160
km/h, inflate the tyres to the pressures specified in
“Tyre pressures” paragraph.
If the TPMS system (for versions/markets where
provided) detects that the pressure of one or more
tyres is unsuitable for the current speed, the warning
light will turn on (together with the message on
the display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in this chapter)
and it will stay on until the car slows down to a
speed below the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down immediately
since tyre overheating could impair tyre performance
and life beyond repair, and even make the tyre to
blow-out.
WARNING
Particularly strong radio frequency
interference may cause the TPMS to
function incorrectly.This condition is indicated
to the driver by a message (for versions/markets
where provided).The message will disappear
automatically as soon as the interference ceases
to affect the system.

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the car.WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will be
modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a space-saver wheel.
Have the tyre repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver wheels
at the same time is forbidden. Do not grease the
threads of bolts before fitting them: they might
slip out .
WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to be
used for replacing wheels on the car
with which it is supplied, or on same-model
vehicles. Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other car models. Never use it
for repair operations under the car. Incorrectly
positioning the jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than the
one shown on its label. Never install snow
chains on the space-saver wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and you need to
use snow chains, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel on
the rear axle. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.WARNING
Fit the hub cap correctly to prevent it
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never introduce
tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
referring to the values shown in the "Technical
data" chapter.
