ENGINE OIL LEVEL
GAUGE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication
of the level of oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to the
MAR position, the display fig. 79 -
fig. 80 shows the oil level by turning
on/off five symbols.The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil level.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate
a sufficient level of oil in the sump. If
the fifth symbol is not lit, this does not
indicate a fault or that insufficient oil
is present in the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum
required value, the display shows a
dedicated message indicating minimum
engine oil level and the need for a
top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil
quantity, always check using the
dipstick (see paragraph “Checking
levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display
indicating the amount of engine oil
disappears and:
When the next scheduled servicing
intervention is approaching, the time
to the next service is displayed and the
õ symbol lights up on the display.
When the service date is reached, the
display shows a dedicated message;
Later on, if the time for changing the
engine oil is getting close, the distance
until the next oil change will appear
on the display. When the service interval
has expired a dedicated warning will
be shown on the display.CONTROL BUTTONS

What it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light
comes on, but should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with
the message in the display when the system detects
that the engine oil pressure is insufficient.
8)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a
message on the display (for versions/markets, where
provided) when the system detects that the engine oil
has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the
vehicle is faulty, but simply informs the driver that it is
now necessary to change the engine oil as a result of
regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, warning
light
will also come on and engine operation is
limited to 3000 rpm when a second threshold is
reached.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration
threshold is reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm
to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
45) 46)
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is
accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent
– use of the vehicle for short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

WARNING
43)If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the
display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident
or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
44)A failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light flashing or, depending on the version, by theicon turning on
continuously on the display. In this case, thewarning light may not indicate a possible problem with the airbag restraint system. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
45)If the
warning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km from
the first switching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty.
Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top
up the engine oil.
46)If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.
