The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warning
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
tyre low pressure control warning
light
switches on constantly, the
inflation pressure must be adjusted until
it reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
IMPORTANT In the case of deflation of
more than one tyre sequentially, without
switching off and on the engine, from
the second tyre involved the acoustic
signal is not activated, only the
dedicated signal is shown on the
display.
To prevent the signal from being stored
in the event of pressure loss of a
subsequent tyre (with deactivation of
the acoustic signal), the ignition key
must be turned to MAR and then to
STOP, each time pressure is restored.TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
This can occur in any of the following
situations:
interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
Use of snow chains.
Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure control
sensor. Therefore, the tyre pressure is
not controlled by the system.
NOTE The vehicle may be equipped
with FiX&Go Automatic tyre repair
kit, space-saver wheel or full size spare
wheel (with or without original TPMS
sensor to measure tyre pressure).
After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the FiX&Go Automatic tyre
repair kit, the previous condition must
be restored, so that the
warning
light is off during normal driving.

IN AN EMERGENCY
BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited
maintenance” type: under normal
conditions of use, the electrolyte does
not need topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked
periodically at a Fiat Dealership or
by specialist personnel to make sure it
is working correctly.
143) 144)
REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an
original spare part with the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifications
is fitted, the service intervals given in
the “Scheduled Servicing Plan” will no
longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.

USEFUL TIPS FOR
EXTENDING BATTERY
LIFE
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet are
closed properly, to prevent any roof
lights from remaining on inside the
passenger's compartment;
switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched
on for a long time when the engine
is not running;
before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery pole;
completely tighten the battery
terminals.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at starting.The battery is also more prone to the
risk of freezing (already at temperatures
of -10°C). Refer to the paragraph
"Vehicle inactivity" in "Starting and
driving" if the vehicle is left parked for a
long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to
install electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
contact a Fiat Dealership whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
from the Lineaccessori Fiat, will
evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle's
electrical system is capable of
withstanding the load required, or
whether it should be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
Since some of these devices continue
to consume electricity even when
the engine is off, they gradually run
down the battery.
WARNING
143)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames or possible
sources of sparks away from the battery:
risk of explosion or fire.
144)Using the battery when the fluid is too
low can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.
195
145)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
37)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install
accessories (alarms, radiophone, etc.):
they will suggest the most suitable devices
and advise you if a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.
38)If the vehicle needs to be off the road
for a long period under conditions of
intense cold, remove the battery and take it
to a heated location, otherwise it may
freeze.
WARNING
6)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. To
replace your battery, we recommend
contacting your Fiat Dealership to dispose
of your old battery in full respect of the
environment and in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations.
RECHARGING THE
BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is provided for information
purposes only. This operation should be
performed at a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT If a "quick-type" battery
charger is used with the battery fitted
on the car, before connecting it
disconnect both cables of the battery
itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.
To recharge, proceed as follows:
IN THE ABSENCE OF THE
START&STOP SYSTEM
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the poles;
turn on the charger;
when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery;
reconnect the terminal to the
negative battery pole.WITH START&STOP
SYSTEM
Versions with dummy pole fig. 220
disconnect the quick release
negative terminal A from the dummy
negative terminal B; this is because
a battery status monitoring sensor D is
fitted on the negative battery terminal
C and should never be disconnected
except for when the battery is actually
replaced;
connect the positive cable of the
charger to the positive pole of the
battery and the negative cable to the
dummy negative terminal B;
turn on the charger;
after the recharge, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
