SYMBOLS ON THE DISPLAY
Symbol What it means
DOOR OPEN
The symbol switches on when one or more doors are not completely shut (for versions/
markets, where provided). An acoustic signal is activated with the doors open and the car
moving. Close the doors properly.
ALTERNATOR FAILURE
If this symbol switches on when the engine is running, this indicates a vehicle recharging
system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
BONNET NOT PROPERLY SHUT
The symbol switches on when the engine bonnet is not properly shut (for versions/markets,
where provided). Close the bonnet properly.
TAILGATE NOT PROPERLY SHUT
The symbol switches on when the tailgate is not properly shut (for versions/markets, where
provided). Close the tailgate correctly.
LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
The symbol switches on in the case of insufficient engine oil pressure.
13)
IMPORTANT Do not use the vehicle until the failure has been solved. The switching on of the
symbol does not show the quantity of oil in the engine: the oil level must be checked manually.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE
The symbol switches on constantly together with the message in the display in the case of
engine oil pressure sensor failure.

JUMP STARTING
141) 142) 143) 144)
53)
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and the
cables of another vehicle, or using an
auxiliary battery. In all cases, the battery
used must have a capacity equal to or
a little higher than the flat one.
Jump starting may be dangerous if
carried out incorrectly: carefully follow
the procedures described below.
JUMP STARTING
IMPORTANT NOTES
Do not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with a
voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!
When jump starting, never connect the
negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole 1 fig. 150 of the car
battery, but rather to an engine/gearbox
earth point.
54)
Proceed as follows to carry out a jump
starting
connect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) to the positive terminal
(+) of the vehicle with flat battery;
connect the other end of the cable
used for positive (+) to the positive
terminal (+) of the auxiliary battery;
connect one end of the cable used
for negative (–) to the negative terminal
(–) of the auxiliary battery;
connect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) to an engine earth
(a visible metal part of the engine or
gearbox/transmission of the vehicle
with flat battery) away from the battery
and the fuel injection system;
start the vehicle engine with the
auxiliary battery, let it run for a few
minutes at idling. Start the engine of the
vehicle with flat battery.
Once the engine has started, remove
the leads, reversing the order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact a
Fiat Dealership.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
