2017 FIAT FIORINO engine oil

on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer to
transport particularly bulky objects.
Electric devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen/rear window wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of energy,
therefore increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25%
in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The air conditioner leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect
aerodynamics and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel consumption
are listed below.
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when
the vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to
warm up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is advisable to set off
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs: this allows
the engine to warm up more quickly.Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when stationary at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. The latter action, like
double declutching, is unnecessary and increases
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road
conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase fuel consumption.
In the same way, improper use of a high gear
increases fuel consumption, emissions and engine
wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption increases considerably with speed.
Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of both
fuel consumption and emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on fuel
consumption and emissions: accelerate gradually.
CONDITIONS OF USE
The main conditions of use which negatively affect
consumption are illustrated below.

INDEX

The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require notification to the driver. The warning light
will go off if the vehicle stays in motion until
regeneration has been completed. The process
normally takes about 15 minutes.
The optimum conditions to end the process are
achieved by keeping the car in motion at up to 60
km/h with an engine speed higher than 2000 rpm.
This light coming on is not a fault and therefore the
vehicle does not need to go to the workshop.
WARNING
During regeneration, the fan could be
operated.
WARNING
Always drive at a speed appropriate to
the traffic conditions, the weather
and the laws in force.The engine may be turned
off while the DPF light is on; however, repeated
interruption of the regeneration process may
result in premature degradation of engine
oil. For this reason, it is always advisable to wait
for the light to go off before turning off the
engine, following the instructions appearing
above. It is recommended to complete DPF
regeneration with the vehicle stationar y.
ABS SYSTEM FAULT (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light comes on when the system is
either not working properly or not available. In this
case the braking system maintains its own unaltered
efficiency but without the advantage of the ABS
system. Drive carefully and go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
EBD FAULT
(red/amber)
If the warning lights switch on simultaneously with
the engine running, this indicates that there is a fault
in the EBD system or that the system in unavailable.
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock
and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have the
system inspected.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

On steady: LOW ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE (red) - Blinking:
DEGRADED ENGINE OIL (Multijet
E5 versions only - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on, but it should go out as soon as
the engine is started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly
(in versions/markets, where provided) along with the
message on the display when the system detects
that engine oil pressure is low.
WARNING
If the warning lightturns on when
the car is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Degraded engine oil (Multijet versions with
DPF only)
The warning light
blinks along with a message on
the display (for versions/markets, where provided)
when the system detects that engine oil pressure
is low.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that
the vehicle is defective, but simply informs the driver
that the oil needs to be changed as a result of regularvehicle 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 not changed, the engine is limited to 1500
rpm to prevent damage when a third threshold is
reached.
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 journeys, preventing
the engine from reaching operating temperature;
repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.
If the warning light switches on, the
degraded engine oil must be changed as
soon as possible, and never more than 500
km from the first time that the warning light
switches on. Failure to observe the above
indications may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty.The activation
of this warning light is not related to the amount
of oil in the engine.Therefore, never top up with
oil when the warning light starts flashing.

SEAT BELT REMINDER (red)
The warning light on the panel comes on steadily
when the vehicle is stationary and the driver's seat
belt is not correctly fastened. It will flash, and be
accompanied by an audible warning, if the front seat
belts are not correctly fastened when the vehicle
is moving.
The SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) acoustic warning tone
can be disabled only by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions, the system can be reactivated
from the setup menu.
DOOR OPEN (red)
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when
one or more doors or the boot are not properly
closed.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL (red)
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning
light turns on but it should go off after a few
seconds.This warning light appears on the panel when the
engine oil level falls below the minimum
recommended value. Restore the correct engine oil
level (see “Checking fluid levels” in the "Servicing and
care" section).
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
INJECTION SYSTEM FAULT
(Multijet versions - amber) - EOBD
ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
FAULT (petrol versions - amber)
Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light turns on but it should go
off after the engine starts.
If the warning light stays on or comes on when
travelling, it means there is a fault in the injection
system which could cause 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. In any case, you
should go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
EOBD engine management system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light turns on but it should go
off after the engine starts.

. In this case, the
warning light may not indicate a fault in the
restraint systems.
Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
TPMS (amber)
TPMS failure
The warning light switches on and blinks for approx.
75 seconds, then it stays on constantly, when a
fault is detected in the TPMS.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.

The warning light switches on to indicate that the
tyre pressure is lower than the recommended value
and/or that a pressure loss is occurring. In these
circumstances, optimal tyre duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.
