glowing steadily to indicate a serious fail-
ure. In any case the relevant message will
be displayed.

avoided slipping of the wheels. In this
case the system optimises the drive and
it allows the improvement of the direc-
tional stability of the vehicle. If the warn-
ing light remains lit (led on the ESC
OFFbutton – switched off) it signals a
system dysfunction. In this case check
the tyre pressure and/or seek advice
from the Fiat Dealership. If the warning
light remains lit (led on the ESC OFF
button switched on) it signals the deacti-
vation of the system.
Notethe flashing of the warning light
during transit indicates the operation of
the ESC system.

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.
The alarm is active until the next inflation,
repair or replacement of the tyre involved.
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.
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.

Proceed as follows:❒
Connect positive terminals (+near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a
jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point
Eon the engine or
the gearbox of the vehicle to be start-
ed;
❒
Start the engine;
❒
When the engine has been started, re-
move the leads reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite the flammable gas from
the battery. If the other battery is fitted in
another vehicle, prevent accidental con-
tacts between the metal parts of the two
vehicles.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing, or coasting downhill) as this could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or to turn
the steering wheel.

The starting procedure must
be carried out by qualified
personnel because incorrect opera-
tions may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. The liquid con-
tained in the battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and light-
ed cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.
