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,

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.

Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents
where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine when the vehi-
cle is stationary or at high or low speed:
in this way the engine will warm up grad-
ually increasing consumption and emis-
sions. You should drive off slowly straight
away avoiding high revs so that the engine
will warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern vehicles and
also increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selections
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.
CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTSSome suggestions which may help you to
keep the running costs of the vehicle
down and lower the amount of toxic emis-
sions released into the atmosphere are
given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Carry out the checks and adjustments/reg-
ulations specified in the “Service Sched-
ule”.
Tyres
Check tyre inflation pressure regularly.
Tyres should be checked at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, fuel consumption increases as the re-
sistance to the rolling movement of the
tyre is greater.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much load.
The weight of the vehicle (specially in ur-
ban traffic) and its trim greatly effects con-
sumption and stability.

GENERIC FAILURE
INDICATION
(amber)
This warning light starts flashing to indi-
cate a non-serious failure. It turns on
glowing steadily to indicate a serious fail-
ure. In any case the relevant message will
be displayed.
Contact Fiat Dealership according to the
seriousness of the indication.
If the level of the diesel additive to the
anti-particulate filter (DPF version) is at
the minimum level: the warning light
switches on together with an acoustic
warning and a message on the display.
Contact Fiat Dealership.
è
ESC SYSTEM
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to M
the warning light turns on, but it should
go off after few seconds.
If the warning light flashes, it signals an
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.

IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some pre-
cautions as listed below.
Alert other drivers that the
vehicle is stationary in com-
pliance with the regulations in force:
hazard warning lights, warning trian-
gle etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the vehicle, especially if
it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed on.
Pull the handbrake.
WARNING
Before starting to change
the wheel, deactivate the
pneumatic suspension system (for
versions/markets, where provided).
See paragraph “Pneumatic suspen-
sions” in this section.
WARNING
The spare wheel is specific to
your vehicle, do not use it on
other models, or use the spare wheel
of other models on your vehicle.
Wheel bolts are specific to your vehi-
cle: do not use them on other models
and do not use bolts of other models.
WARNING
Have the punctured wheel
repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Do not grease the threads
of bolts before installing them: they
might slip out.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
vehicle with which it is provided or on
vehicles of the same model. It must
not be used for other purposes such
as for instance raising vehicles of oth-
er models. In no case should it be used
for repairs under the vehicle. Incor-
rect positioning of the jack may cause
the jacked vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for higher capacities than
stated on its label.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap cor-
rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never place tools between the
rim and tyre. Check and restore, if re-
quired, the pressure of tyres and
spare wheel to the values given in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”.
WARNING
Please note:❒
the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒
the jack requires no adjustment;
❒
the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks
it must be replaced with a new jack;
❒
no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.

MAINTENANCE
WHEELS AND TYRESCheck the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, every two weeks and before
long journeys. The pressure should be
checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to rise when you
are driving. For the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see “Wheels” in section “Tech-
nical specifications”.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 15:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread
wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, com-
ply with the laws in the country where the
vehicle is being driven.

F0P0191m
IMPORTANT NOTES❒
As far as possible, avoid sharp braking
and screech starts etc. Be careful not
to hit the kerb, potholes or other ob-
stacles hard. Driving for long stretch-
es over bumpy roads can damage the
tyres;
❒
periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of
these occur, have the vehicle seen to at
a Fiat Dealership;
❒
avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious dam-
age to the wheels and tyres;
❒
if a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-
ly and charge it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering
system;
❒
tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber are
a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been on the vehicle for over 6
years, they should be checked by spe-
cialised personnel, to see if they can still
be used. Also remember to check the
spare wheel;
❒
In the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
❒
If a tyre is changed, also change the in-
flation valve;
❒
To allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same side
of the vehicle so as to not reverse the
direction of rotation.
Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
