7)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and safety,
cause the lapse of warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the vehicle with
type approval requirements.SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when
using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the vehicle.
It is automatically activated when
the ignition key is removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an antenna
built into the ignition device. The
signal, which changes each time the
engine is started, is the “password”,
by means of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started turning
the ignition key toMAR, the Fiat CODE
system control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control Module
to deactivate the inhibitor.
The acknowledgement code is sent
only if the Fiat CODE system control
unit has recognised the code
transmitted from the key.

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: 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, 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.
83
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR, 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.
12)
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.
50) 51)
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.
redLOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light turns on but it should go
off after a few seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the engine oil level falls below the
minimum recommended value.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.Restore the correct engine oil
level (see “Checking fluid
levels” in the "Servicing and
maintenance" section).

Manual deactivation of
passenger side front
airbag and side bag for
chest/head protection
(for versions/markets, where provided)
For Doblò versions designed to carry
people (M1 type-approval), if a child
must of necessity be carried on the
front seat, sitting on a rearward facing
child restraint system, the passenger
front airbag and side bag for chest/
head protection (for versions/markets,
where provided) must be deactivated,
since, in the event of impact, airbag
activation may cause fatal injuries to the
child carried.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the
passenger's front and side airbags for
head and torso protection (for
versions/markets where provided), refer
to "Digital display" and “Multifunction
display” paragraph in the “Know your
vehicle” chapter.
The
warning light “ above the front
courtesy light fig. 137 signals the status
of passenger protection. If the warning
light is off, the passenger side
protection is activated.
When the passenger side front airbag
and side bag for chest protection
(for versions/markets where provided)
are activated again, the warning light
switches off.When the vehicle is started (key in MAR
position), the warning light turns on
for approx. 8 seconds. If not, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the warning light does not
actually show the passenger protection
status, but only checks its correct
operation.

SAFETY
The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while adjusting
the tyre inflation pressure.
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency and
tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance of
the vehicle.
The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to the
driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with
a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warning
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
tyre low pressure control warning
light
switches on constantly, the
inflation pressure must be adjusted until
it reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
IMPORTANT In the case of deflation of
more than one tyre sequentially, without
switching off and on the engine, from
the second tyre involved the acoustic
signal is not activated, only the
dedicated signal is shown on the
display.
To prevent the signal from being stored
in the event of pressure loss of a
subsequent tyre (with deactivation of
the acoustic signal), the ignition key
must be turned to MAR and then to
STOP, each time pressure is restored.
