Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redSEAT BELTS REMINDER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's side or passenger
side seat belt (in versions where provided) not fastened.
The warning light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the
car is in motion and the driver’s seat belt is not correctly
fastened.For permanent deactivation of the acoustic signal
(buzzer) of the SBR. (Seat Belt Reminder) system
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to MAR, but should go off after a few
seconds. The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine
and check that the water level in the reservoir is not below the
MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then
slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and
check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If,
when restarting, the warning light switches on again, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in
high-performance driving): slow down and, if the warning light
stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated to further favour the
coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check that the
coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep
the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before
switching it off.

100)The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed
or turned to the OFF position. When
refuelling, make sure that the vehicle is
switched off with the key in the OFF
position.
101)For vehicles with robotised gearbox, if
the engine is stopped downhill, the engine
must be restarted by the gear lever
towards (+) or (-) without releasing the
brake pedal. For vehicles with robotised
gearbox and Hill Holder function, in case of
engine automatic stop with the car
downhill, the engine must be restarted
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-)
without releasing the brake pedal, so that
the Hill Holder function becomes available,
as it works only with engine running.
102)If climate comfort is to be favoured,
the Start&Stop system can be deactivated,
for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
103) 104) 105) 106) 107) 108) 109) 110) 111)
DESCRIPTION
The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns the driver of low tyre
pressure on the basis of the cold
inflation pressure prescribed for the
vehicle.
Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressure to vary. This means
that a decrease in the outside
temperature corresponds to a decrease
in the tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure must always be adjusted
according to the cold inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the vehicle stand
for at least three hours or a travel
shorter than 1.6 km after an interval of
three hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.
The tyre pressure also increases while
driving the vehicle: this is a normal
condition and does not require any
adjustment of the pressure.NOTE
The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while adjusting
the tyre inflation pressure.
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency and
tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance of
the vehicle.
The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to the
driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with
a suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not cause
the tyre pressure control warning light
to switch on.
The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal pressure
loss of the tyre.
The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.

STARTING AND DRIVING

CARTRIDGE
REPLACEMENT
Proceed as follows:
only use Fix&Go original cartridges,
which can be purchased at the
Dealership.
to remove the cartridge 1 fig. 203,
press the release button 8 fig. 206 and
lift it.
WARNING
129)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Carefully read
the label on the cartridge before use, avoid
improper use. The kit should be used by
adults and cannot be used by children.130)IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
The kit provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tyre must be examined and
repaired by a specialist as soon as
possible. Before using the kit, ensure that
the tyre is not excessively damaged and
that the rim is in good condition, otherwise
do not use it and call roadside assistance.
Do not remove foreign bodies from the
tyre. Do not let the compressor turned on
for more than 20 consecutive minutes -
overheating hazard.
WARNING
28)The sealant is effective with external
temperatures of between -40°C and
+55°C. The sealant has an expiry date. It is
possible to repair tyres which have been
damaged on tread up to a diameter of
6 mm. Show the cartridge and the label to
the personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the tyre repair kit.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light
stays on constantly on
the instrument panel.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery
with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle
fig. 209:
connect the positive terminals (+
mark near the terminal) of the two
batteries using a suitable lead;
with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point
on the
engine or the gearbox of the vehicle to
be started;
start the engine;
when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.
