GEAR SHIFT
INDICATORThe “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear through
a special indication on the display fig. 15/a.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified that
the gear change will allow a reduction in
fuel consumption.
When the ▲(SHIFT UP) icon is shown on
the display, the GSI is advising the driver
to engage a higher gear, while the ▼
(SHIFT DOWN) icon advises the driver
to engage a lower gear.NBThe indication on the instrument pan-
el remains on until the driver changes gear
or until the driving conditions return to
a situation where a gear change is not re-
quired to reduce consumption.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
It is an integral part of the ASR system that
in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-
viding torque to the engine thus prevent-
ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.
GRIP CONTROLThis system increases the traction in poor
road grip conditions (e.g. snow, mud,
sand).
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
sufficiently for the engine power to man-
age the various parameters in the best
way.
The vehicle is designed mainly for as-
phalted roads but can occasionally be dri-
ven on rough roads.
If the vehicle is heavily loaded, it cannot be
used for off-road activities, such as:❒
crossing and driving grounds that
could damage the underbody or de-
tach parts such as fuel pipes, fuel cool-
er, etc., because of obstacles or
stones;
❒
travelling on steep gradients with re-
duced grip;
❒
fording a stream.
The performance of the sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks.
The style of driving must in any case
always be adapted to the conditions
of the road surface, visibility and traf-
fic. Road safety is always the driver’s
responsibility.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ASR system,
the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect
conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light will come with fixed
light on the instrument panel, (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.

iTPMS SYSTEM(for versions/markets
where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System) which monitors the tyre in-
flation status thanks to wheel speed sen-
sors.
The system comprises a radio-frequency
transmitter sensor fitted to each wheel
(on the rim inside the tyre), which is able
to send information on the inflation pres-
sure of each tyre to the control unit.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on the
dedicated warning light
n
and a warning
message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can in-
dicate its position: it is in any case rec-
ommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
WARNING
If the system signals a pres-
sure decrease on a specific
tyre, it is recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
WARNING
iTPMS does not relieve the
driver from the obligation to
check the tyre pressure every month;
it is not to be considered a system to
replace maintenance or a safety sys-
tem.
WARNING
Tyre pressure must be
checked with tyres cold.
Should it become necessary for what-
ever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure
even if it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres
are cold.
WARNING
The iTPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops
(for example when a tyre bursts). In
this event, brake the vehicle cautious-
ly and avoid sudden steering.
WARNING
The system only warns that
the tyre pressure is low: it is
not able to inflate them.
WARNING
Insufficient tyre inflation in-
creases fuel consumption, re-
duces the tread duration and may af-
fect the capacity to drive safely.

Insufficient tyre pressure
The warning light
n
switches on, to-
gether with a dedicated message on the
display, to indicate that the tyre pressure
is lower than the recommended value
and/or that slow pressure loss is occur-
ring. In these circumstances, optimal tyre
duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.
Should two or more tyres be in the con-
dition mentioned above, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each
tyre in sequence.
❒
Slow down immediately, avoid sudden
braking and steering.
❒
Stop as soon as traffic conditions al-
low.
❒
In the event of a puncture, use the
quick tyre repair kit or fit the spare
wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided);
or
❒
if you have a compressor, for example
the one of the quick tyre repair kit,
check the pressure of the four tyres
when cold;or
❒
if you cannot check the pressure im-
mediately, drive very carefully and slow-
ly.
The alarm is active until the next inflation,
repair or replacement of the tyre involved.
The spare wheel (space-saver wheel or
steel rim) does not have sensors.
The detected pressure loss does not al-
ways involve visible deformation of the
tyre. Therefore, do not rely on the visual
check only.iTPMS failure
When a fault in the iT.P.M.S. is detected,
the warning light
n
switches on and flash-
es, the warning light è
switches on as
well and a dedicated message is displayed.
In this case, the monitoring of the tyre
pressure is no longer guaranteed.
This alarm is displayed also when at least
one of the wheels is not equipped with
sensor (e.g. with spare wheel, space-saver
or steel type).
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked or, after a puncture, refit a
tyre equipped with sensor on the origi-
nal rim.

Refuelling
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.
FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 116
To carry out fuelling, open lid A, fit the ig-
nition key into the cap lock and turn it
counterclockwise, then loosen cap B.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, secure the cap to the de-
vice Cinside the lid.

AT THE FILLING
STATIONOperation at cold temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, differ-
ent types of diesel are distributed ac-
cording to the season: summer type, win-
ter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suit-
able for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART ad-
ditive in the proportions stated on the can,
putting first the antifreeze in the tank and
then the diesel fuel.
Refuel with local diesel fuel if the vehicle
is used/parked in the mountains or in cold
areas for a long period.
In this event you are recommended to
keep an amount of fuel higher than 50% in
the tank.The vehicle must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with in-
validation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fu-
el, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in ad-
dition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
Keep naked flames or light-
ed cigarettes away from the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
During refuelling, do not open
the left sliding door due to the
fact that the open fuel door.
