NoteThe "Scheduled Servicing Plan"
requires the vehicle to be serviced every
48,000 km (or 30,000 mi). This
indication will appear automatically, with
the key at MAR-ON, starting from
2,000 km (or 1,240 mi) and will be
displayed every 200 km (or 124 mi). Oil
change notification messages are
displayed in the same way. Use the
andbuttons to alternate
between displaying scheduled servicing
and engine oil change information.
Below 200 km servicing indications are
more frequent. The display will be in
km or mi depending on the
measurement unit settings. When the
next scheduled service is approaching,
the word “Service” will appear on the
display, followed by the number of
kilometres or miles left, when the key is
turned to MAR-ON. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to carry out any service
operation in the "Scheduled servicing
plan" and to reset the display.NoteWhen an oil change is nearly due
and the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the display will show a
dedicated message. Engine
performance will decrease still driving in
these conditions. When the change is
due, the dedicated message will
reappear on the display together with
the activation of both the
and
warning lights. Contact a
Fiat Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
"Trip B", available on multifunction
display only, is used to display
the values relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
21)
Values displayed
Outside temperature
Indicates the temperature outside
the vehicle passenger
compartment.
Range (for versions/markets, where
provided)
This indicates the distance that can
still be travelled with the fuel in the
tank, assuming that driving style
remains unvaried. The display will
show the reading '-----' when
the following events take place:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30
mi)
❒vehicle is left parked with the engine
running for a long time.
IMPORTANT The range can be
affected by several factors: driving
style (see paragraph “Driving style”
in the “Starting and driving”
section), type of route (motorway,
towns and cities, mountain roads,
etc…), usage conditions (load,
tyre pressures, etc…). Trip planning
must therefore take the above
into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance
covered from the start of the new
journey.
Average consumption (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from
the start of the new journey.
Instant consumption (for versions/
markets where provided)
This value shows the fuel
consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will
show “----”ifthecarisparked
with the engine running.Average speed
This value shows the car's average
speed based on the overall time
elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
Trip time
Time elapsed since the start of the
new journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no
information, the Trip computer
displays "----" in place of the value.
When normal operating conditions
are restored, the counting of the
various values is resumed, without
either zeroing the values displayed
prior to the problem, or starting a
new mission.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or
acoustic signal. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read
carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures.
Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by
a warning "cycle" with a shorter duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument
panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a
few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light switches on when the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light turns on when travelling (on
certain versions together with the message on the
display) stop the vehicle immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the
handbrake is engaged.Release the handbrake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

redSEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
vehicle stationary and the driver’s seat belt not
fastened.
The warning light flashes and a buzzer will sound
if the car is in motion and the driver’s seat belt is
not correctly fastened.For permanent deactivation of the SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) system buzzer, contact a Fiat
Dealership. The system can be reactivated using
the Setup Menu.

redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the digital warning light switches on,
but it should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with the message in
the display when the system detects that the engine oil pressure is
insufficient.
22)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a message on the display
(for versions/markets, where provided) when the system detects that the
engine oil has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the vehicle is faulty,
but simply informs the driver that it is now necessary to change the
engine oil as a result of regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, when
a second deterioration threshold is reached, the warning light
also
switches on in the instrument panel and the engine operation is limited to
3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration threshold is
reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
96) 97)
Remember that the
deterioration of the engine
oil is accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the
vehicle which makes the
DPF regeneration process
more frequent
– use of the vehicle for
short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching
operating temperature
– repeated interruption of
the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
WARNING
94) If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR-ON 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 immediately to have the system checked.
95) The failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light flashing or, depending on the version, by the
symbol constantly on in the display. In this case, thewarning light may not indicate a fault in the restraint
systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
96) 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 the 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.
97) If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.
