This message is accompanied by the
STOPlight.
This means that at least one of the tyres
is punctured or is very deflated.
Replace it or contact a Fiat Dealership if
it is punctured. Re-inflate the tyre if it is
deflated.
Warning light 1 fig. 202 flashes for a few
seconds before remaining permanent

They indicate that one of the tyres has
no sensors (for example the spare). In
all other cases, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
New regulations concerning tyre
pressure
The tyre pressure must be checked
when cold(see the label located on
the driver's door pillar). If tyre pressure
checking cannot be donecold,
increase the pressure 0.2-0.3 bar
(3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Spare tyre
If the vehicle has one, the spare tyre
has no sensors. When this is mounted
on the vehicle, warning light 1
fig. 202 flashes for a few seconds
before staying on together with the
warning light, while a dedicated
message is displayed on the instrument
panel.Spray can to repair the tyres and
inflation kit.
According to the valve specifics, only
use equipment approved by a Fiat
Dealership. Please see the paragraph
"Tyre kit" in the "Emergency" chapter.
IMPORTANT This function provides an
additional aid to the driver; however, it
cannot replace him. It does not exempt
you from ordinary driving safety or from
responsibility in case of an accident.
Check tyre pressure, including the
spare tyre, once a month.
IMPORTANT For the safety of the driver
and anyone else on board, you must
stop as soon as traffic conditions allow
when theSTOPwarning light turns on.

SAFETY
SUGGESTIONS FOR
DRIVING
SAVING FUEL
Fuel consumption is approved in
compliance with a standard and
regulated method that is identical for all
manufacturers, allowing vehicles to be
compared with each other. The real fuel
consumption depends on the vehicle's
usage, equipment and driving style.
Depending on the vehicle, you can have
different functions available that let you
reduce your fuel consumption:
gear change indicator;
driving style indicator;
route summary and ecological advice
through a multi-media display panel;
the ECOMODE function that can be
activated by the ECO button.If the vehicle has one, the navigation
system completes this information.
Gear change indicators
Depending on the versions, a warning
light 1 fig. 218 on the instrument panel
tells you the best time to shift up or
down to optimise fuel consumption:
Shift up;
Shift down;
Driving style indicator
This informs you about your adopted
driving style in real time. The result is
shown by the colour of the indicator
light 2 fig. 218.
Green: flexible, economical driving;
Yellow: adopt a flexible style;
Orange: driving too dynamic.
To activate/deactivate the driving style
indicator, refer to the RADIO/TOUCH –
RADIO NAV supplement.Route summary
When the engine is stopped, an
appropriate message appears on the
display 3 fig. 219 with information about
your last route.
It indicates:
average fuel consumption;
mileage;
the number of kilometres saved.

The air filter, oil filter: a dirty cartridge
reduces performance. You need to
replace it.
Minimum: no adjustment is needed.
CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL
An engine normally consumes oil to
lubricate it and cool the moving parts,
and it is normal to have to top up the
lubricating circuit between two oil
changes.
However, if the oil consumption is more
than 0.5 litres every 1000 km after the
run-in period, you need to contact a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Periodically check the oil
level and in any case before long trips,
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

44) 45) 46) 47)
5)
Oil level check
The oil level should be checked with the
vehicle on a flat surface and the engine
stopped and cold.
To know the oil level exactly and to
make sure it has not exceeded the
maximum level (risk of damaging the
engine), you need to use the dipstick.The instrument panel display only
warns you when the level is at
minimum.
take out the dipstick and clean it with
a clean rag;
insert it as far as it will go;
take it back out;
check the level: it must never be
lower than "min" A fig. 265 nor above
the "max" level B.
Once you have checked the level, insert
the dipstick as far as it will go.
IMPORTANT To avoid splashing, you
can use a funnel when topping up/filling
up.
Topping up/filling the oil
The vehicle has to be on a level surface,
engine stopped and cold (e.g.: before
starting in the morning).

Have adjustments and vehicle checks
done at a Fiat Dealership so they
comply with the instructions in the
Scheduled Service Plan: all the means
and material means that allow the
What to do
Wash the car by hand, with lots of
water, using a soft cloth or sponge.
Going through an automatic car
wash
Bring the windscreen wiper to the stop
position (refer to the "Windscreen /
Rearscreen wiper” paragraph in the
"Getting to know your vehicle” chapter).
Check that external equipment is fixed
properly (additional lamps, rearview
mirrors) and remove the radio aerial (for
versions/markets where provided).
Headlight cleaning
Since the headlights are equipped with
plastic materials, use a soft cloth or
cotton pad. If this is not sufficient, wet it
slightly with soapy water, then rinse with
a soft cloth or cotton. Finish by drying
delicately with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use alcohol-based products.
Windows
(e.g.: the instrument panel, clock,
outside temperature display panel,
radio display panel, multi-media or
multi-function display panel, etc.)
Use a soft, cotton cloth. If this is not
sufficient, use a soft cloth (or a cotton
pad) slightly wetted with soapy water,
then rinse with a soft cloth or wet
cotton.Finish by drying delicately with a soft,
dry cloth.
Do not use alcohol-based products
and/or nebulisers on the area.
WARNING
210)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint, abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
211)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a dampened
chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or
polishes should not be used for cleaning
the vehicle. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking
the vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it may
only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is
highly inadvisable as they could alter the
typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not
use pure windscreen washer fluid for
cleaning the front windscreen and rear
window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only
use pure screen washer fluid when strictly
necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
IMPORTANT
7)Detergents pollute the environment. The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
