Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redINCOMPLETE DOOR LOCKING
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when one or more doors
or the boot are not properly closed.
A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and the vehicle is
moving.
WARNING
48) If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on when driving (together with
the message on the display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners
may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
49) Failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light coming on. In this case, thewarning light may
not indicate a fault in the restraint systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
50) Deteriorated engine oil must be replaced as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on, and never more
than 500 km after it first switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level
of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top up the engine oil.
51) If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.

USEFUL TIPS FOR
EXTENDING BATTERY
LIFE
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet
are closed properly, to prevent any
roof lights from remaining on inside
the passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which
switches all internal lights off
automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine
is not running;
❒before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect
the negative battery pole;
❒completely tighten the battery
terminals.
IMPORTANT If the charge level
remains under 50% for a long time,
the battery is damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capacity and
efficiency at starting.The battery is also more prone to
the risk of freezing (already at
temperatures of -10°C). Refer to the
paragraph "Vehicle inactivity" in
"Starting and driving" if the vehicle is
left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want
to install electric accessories which
require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) contact a Fiat
Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices from the
Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate
the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle's
electrical system is capable of
withstanding the load required, or
whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since some of these devices
continue to consume electricity even
when the engine is off, they
gradually run down the battery.
WARNING
133) Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk
of explosion or fire.
134) Using the battery when the fluid
is too low can damage it
irreparably and generate a risk of
explosion.
135) When performing any operation
on the battery or near it, always
protect your eyes with special
goggles.
