2016 FIAT TALENTO instrument panel

TPMS – Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System
(For versions/markets where provided)
Tyre pressure loss warning
This system warns the driver of any
pressure loss in one or more of the
tyres.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except the spare) has a
built-in sensor in the inflation valve that
measures tyre pressure at regular
intervals while driving. Warning light 1
fig. 202 stays on to warn the driver in
case of tyre pressure loss (deflated tyre,
puncture, etc.).Re-initialising the tyre pressure
reference value
This operation must be done:when the tyre reference pressure has
to be changed so it can be adapted to
use conditions (empty, with a load,
highway driving, etc.);
after tyre rotation ( however, this
practice is not advised);
after replacing a tyre.
This operation must always be done
after a cold tyre inflation pressure of all
the tyres.
Inflation pressure has to correspond to
the vehicle's current use (empty, with a
load, highway driving, etc.).
Re-initialisation procedure
With the engine running and the vehicle
stationary.
briefly press on button 3 or 4
fig. 203 to select the "TYRE
PRESSURE SET < LONG PRESS >"
function on display panel 2;
keep button 3 or 4 pressed (for
about 3 seconds) to start initialisation.
The appropriate message indicates that
the request to restore the tyre pressure
reference values is being processed.
A few minutes of driving is required to
complete the initialisation.NOTE The tyre pressure reference value
must not be less than that advised and
indicated on the the driver's door pillar.
Display
The display 2 fig. 203 on the instrument
panel indicates any inflation faults
(deflated tyre, puncture, etc.).
Warning light 1 fig. 202 stays on
permanently along with the message to
that effect. This indicates that at least
one tyre is deflated.
If necessary, check and adjust the
pressure of the four tyres when cold.
The light goes off after driving for a few
minutes.
IMPORTANT Unexpected loss of tyre
pressure (blowout, etc.) might not be
detected by the system.
The warning light turns on fixed
together with a dedicated message and
an acoustic signal.

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
along with the message to that effect.
This message is accompanied by the
light.
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.

WARNING
138)Do not start the vehicle on an incline
with the gear in neutral. The power steering
might not activate. Risk of accident.
139)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
140)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
141)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
142)Do not remove the key from the
starter device or the electronic key from the
reader before effectively stopping the
vehicle; stopping the engine means
deleting various aids: When the engine is
stopped, the power brakes, power steering
and safety devices like the air bags and
pre-tensioners no longer work.
143)Especially when you leave the car
with the electronic key in your pocket,
make sure the engine is effectively
stopped.206T36626-1

It may not be possible to deactivate this
function for specific markets.
Label 1 fig. 215 on the dashboard
reminds you of the speed limit.
NOTE If the vehicle is equipped with the
Speed Limiter, pressing the accelerator
firmly or all the way down (past the
"resistance point") does not let you go
beyond the speed limit (refer to the
"Speed limiter" paragraph).IMPORTANT In certain situations (for
example, a steep slope) the speed
limiter can be exceeded slightly,
because the device does not intervene
on the braking system.
WARNING
151)This function does not take the

STARTING AND DRIVING

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.
217T26569
218T38203
219T36519-1
220T40396
139

A general grade from 0 to 100 appears
that allows you to assess your
ecological driving performance: high
values mean reduced fuel consumption.
Below is some ecological advice to
improve your performance. Store your
preferred routes lets you compare
performances. For further information,
refer to the RADIO/TOUCH – RADIO
NAV supplement.
ECOMODE
ECOMODE is a function that optimises
fuel consumption. It acts on a few of
the vehicle's uses (heating, air
conditioning, power steering, etc.) and
on a few driving operations
(acceleration, gear shift, speed
regulation, deceleration, etc.).
Activation of the function
Press button 4 fig. 219.
TheECOfig. 220 indicator light 5 on
the instrument panel turns on to
confirm that it has been activated.
While driving, you can temporarily leave
the ECOMODE function to reset all
engine performances.
To do this, press the accelerator pedal
firmly.
The ECOMODE function is reactivated
as soon as you release the accelerator.Deactivating the function
Press button 4 fig. 219.
TheECOfig. 220 warning light 5 on the
instrument panel turns off to confirm
that it has been deactivated.
Behaviour
Rather than heat the engine while
stopped, we advise you to drive
moderately until the engine reaches its
normal operating temperature.
Speed increases fuel consumption.
Do not strain the engine by
exceeding speed in intermediary gears.
Use the highest gear.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Brake as little as possible. By
assessing the danger or curve in
advance, it will be sufficient to lift your
foot off the accelerator.
When going uphill, we advise you to
keep a steady speed, without having to
change it.
In modern vehicles, double clutching
before stopping the engine is not
necessary and could even cause
damage.Tyres fig. 221
Pressure too low can increase fuel
consumption.
Using unsuitable tyres can increase
fuel consumption.
