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.TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
This can occur in any of the following
situations:
❒interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
❒Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
❒Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
❒Use of snow chains.
❒Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
❒The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure
control sensor. Therefore, the tyre
pressure is not controlled by the
system.
NOTE The vehicle may be equipped
with FiX&Go Automatic tyre repair
kit, space-saver wheel or full size spare
wheel (with or without original TPMS
sensor to measure tyre pressure).After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the FiX&Go Automatic tyre
repair kit, the previous condition must
be restored, so that the
warning
light is off during normal driving.
Space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided): the
space-saver wheel is not equipped with
a TPMS sensor. Once fitted, while
driving normally, the warning light
comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds, and then constantly). This
condition lasts until a wheel equipped
with an original TPMS sensor is fitted
on the vehicle.
Normal spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light comes on
(flashing for about 75 seconds, and
then constantly). This condition lasts
until a wheel equipped with an original
TPMS sensor is fitted on the vehicle.
The system is then restored and the
warning light switches off.
Normal spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light switches
off.

Restoring the stored
speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by depressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the stored speed can be
restored as follows:
❒accelerate progressively until a speed
close to that stored is reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
❒press button B fig. 150.
Increasing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and
memorizing the new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will
correspond to a slight increase in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk upwards will increase the
speed continuously.Reducing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-)
until the new speed, which will
automatically remain memorised, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A to the OFF
position;
❒if the engine is stopped (leaving the
stalk ring nut at ON), when the
ignition key is next turned to ON,
Cruise Control will be activated
automatically.Deactivating the
function
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
❒by pressing the brake pedal when the
device is adjusting the speed:
❒by pressing the clutch pedal when
the device is adjusting the speed;
❒by pressing button B fig. 150 when
the device is adjusting the speed
(for versions/markets, where
provided);
❒by pressing the accelerator pedal (in
this case the system is not actually
turned off but the acceleration
request takes priority; the cruise
control remains activated, without the
need to the press button B fig. 150
to restore the previous conditions
once the acceleration is over).
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
❒with the vehicle speed below the
set limit
❒in the event of system failure.

STARTING AND DRIVING

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic
converter leads to harmful exhaust
emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an
emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART
additive in the proportions shown on
the container. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
22)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK PLUG
Opening
1) Open flap A fig. 153, pulling it
outwards, hold cap B still, insert the
ignition key in the lock and turn it
anticlockwise.2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it. The cap has a device C that
attaches it to the flap so it cannot be
lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the plug is
absolutely normal.

The function switches off automatically
when the nature of the braking
changes. This function complies with
the relevant legislation currently in force.
REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒always check the headlight beam
alignment after replacing a bulb;
❒when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this
section.
103) 104)
24) 25)
IMPORTANT The headlight inner
surface might be slightly misted: this
does not indicate a fault, it is a natural
phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting
will disappear rapidly when the
headlights are turned on. The presence
of drops inside the headlights indicates
infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
