2017 FIAT FIORINO check engine light

PROLONGED VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the road for longer than
one month, the following precautions must be
taken:
park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, if possible,
well-ventilated place;
engage a gear and check that the handbrake is not
on;
disconnect the battery negative terminal and
check the charge (see “Battery” in the
“Maintenance and care”);
clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds readily available;
sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
slightly open the windows;
cover the vehicle with a piece of fabric or
perforated plastic sheet. Do not use compact
plastic tarpaulins, which prevent humidity from
evaporating from the surface of the vehicle;
inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
do not drain the engine cooling system.

This indicates that the warning light is working
correctly. If the warning light either stays on or
comes on during your journey:
fixed: this means there is a fault in the supply/
ignition system which could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor handling and
high fuel consumption levels. A specific message
is displayed on certain versions. Under these
conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at
moderate speed without demanding excessive
effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the
vehicle with the warning light on may cause
damage. Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. The warning light goes out after the
fault disappears, but the indication is stored in the
system.
blinking: this indicates possible damage to the
catalytic converter (see “EOBD system” in the
“Know your vehicle” section). If the light flashes,
come off the accelerator pedal to reduce engine
revs until the warning light stops flashing; continue
the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further flashing,
and get to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible if warning light
either does
not light up when the key is turned to
MAR to if while travelling the warning lights
comes on either steady or blinking (along with a
message on the display).The operation of warning
light
may be checked by the traffic police

WARNING
Use your hazard lights, warning triangle,
etc to show that your vehicle is
stationar y. Passengers should get out of the
vehicle, particularly if it is heavily loaded, and
wait for the wheel to be changed away from the
traffic . If you are on a slope or uneven surface,
place wedges or other suitable objects under
the wheels to secure the vehicle. Have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads before
fitting: they could come unscrewed.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace wheels on
the vehicle with which it is supplied
or on other vehicles of the same model. Never
use the jack for other purposes, such as lifting
other models. Never use the jack to carr y out
repairs under the vehicle. Incorrect positioning
of the jack may cause the lifted vehicle to
fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than
the one shown on its label.
WARNING
Incorrect hub cap assembly may cause it
to come off when the vehicle is moving.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical data" chapter.
Please note that:
the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another genuine one;
no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:
stop the vehicle in a position that is not dangerous
for oncoming traffic where you can change the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
switch off the engine and pull the handbrake;
engage first gear or reverse;
wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by
law in certain countries) before getting out of
the vehicle;
