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.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING
145) This procedure must be
performed by qualified personnel
as incorrect actions may cause
high-intensity electrical discharge.
Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and lighted
cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.
REPLACING A
WHEEL
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel replacement and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel (for
versions/markets, where provided) call
for some precautions, which are listed
below.
146) 147) 148) 149) 150)
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired: in the
event of a fault it must be replaced by
another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
151)
To change a wheel,
proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒stop the engine and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒put on the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain
countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;
❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
❒In the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads, put
any object as stop under the wheels;
❒take the tool bag under the
passenger seat (see “Compartment
under front passenger seat” in the
“Know your vehicle” section);
The container includes these tools:
A - tow hook
B - rod for spanner
C - bolt spanner
D - jack

❒instruction brochure (see fig. 196), to
be used for prompt and correct use
of the quick tyre repair kit and then to
be handed to the personnel charged
with handling the tyre treated with
the tyre repair kit;
❒a compressor D complete with
pressure gauge and connectors;
❒a pair of protective gloves located in
the side compartment of the
compressor;
❒adaptors for inflating different
elements.

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair
kit is effective at external temperatures
of between -20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealant has an expiry date.

INFLATION PROCEDURE
163) 164) 165) 166) 167)
❒Pull the handbrake. Unscrew the tyre
valve cap, take out the filler hose A
fig. 197 and tighten the ring nut B on
the tyre valve;
❒insert the plug E fig. 199 in the
nearest 12 V power socket and start
the engine. Turn the selector D fig.
198 anticlockwise to the repair
position. Activate the kit by pressing
the on/off switch. Inflate the tyre to
the pressure specified in the "Inflation
pressure" paragraph, in the
"Technical Data" chapter;
For a more accurate reading, it is
advisable to check the pressure reading
on the pressure gauge F fig. 198 with
the compressor off and without moving
the centre selector from the repair
position;❒if after 10 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 3 bar, release the
transparent filler pipe from the valve
and take out the 12 V plug, then
move the vehicle forwards by about
10 metres in order to distribute
the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the inflation operation;
