iTPMS System
(indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
48)
RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS needs an initial “self-
learning” phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
driving on a straight road at 80 km/h
for at least 20 minutes) which starts
when the Reset procedure is carried
out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
❒ each time tyre pressure is
modified;
❒ when even only one tyre is
changed;
❒ when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒ when the space-saver wheel is
fitted.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the
road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,
unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may
be delayed or partial in detecting the
contemporary deflation of more than
one tyre.
Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of
the “Fix&Go” quick tyre repair kit,
fitting snow chains, fitting different
tyres on the axles) the system may
give false indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily
deactivated, the warning light
nflashes for about 75 seconds and then
is continuously on; at the same time,
the display shows a dedicated
message.
This indication is displayed also after
the engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored. Before carrying out the “Reset”
procedure, inflate the tyres to the
rated pressure values specified in the
inflation pressure table (see “Wheels”
paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter).
If the Reset procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
nwarning light may give false indications
on one or more tyres.
To carry out the Reset procedure, with
the vehicle stopped and the ignition
key at MAR, use the setup menu (see
the description of the “Display”
paragraph). At the end of the Reset
procedure the display will show the
“Reset saved” message, indicating
that the self-learning has been started.
If the iTPMS self-learning is not
correctly executed, the message is not
displayed.
OPERATING
CONDITIONS
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.

FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM 8)
This intervenes in the case of an
impact causing:
❒ the fuel supply cut-off with the
engine consequently switching off
❒ automatically unlocking the doors
❒ switching on of all interior lights.
The intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the
display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car
for fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the car or near
the tank area.
After a collision, turn the ignition key to
the STOP position to avoid draining the
battery.
To reset car operation, follow this
procedure:
❒ turn the ignition key to MAR
❒ activate the right direction indicator
❒ deactivate the right direction
indicator
❒ activate the left direction indicator
❒ deactivate the left direction indicator
❒ activate the right direction indicator
❒ deactivate the right direction
indicator
❒ activate the left direction indicator
❒ deactivate the left direction indicator
❒ ignition key turned to the OFF
position
❒ turn the ignition key to MAR.PARKING SENSORS
18) 25
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Located in the rear bumper fig. 51
these detect and inform the driver,
through an intermittent acoustic signal,
of the presence of obstacles at the rear
of the car.
As the distance from the obstacle
behind the car decreases, the acoustic
alarm becomes more frequent. The
buzzer becomes continuous when the
distance separating the vehicle from
the obstacle is less than about 30 cm.
It remains constant if the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle
is unchanged.
If this situation concerns the side
sensors, the signal will stop after
approximately 3 seconds to avoid, for
example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres along a wall.
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.

LPG TANK
The car has a (pressurised) tank
A-fig 59 for collecting LPG in a liquid
state. It is ring-shaped and located in
the spare wheel compartment with
suitable protection.
LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in
accordance with the regulations in
force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the car registration date.
If the vehicle has been registered in a
country other than Italy, the duration
and the testing/inspection procedures
of the LPG tank can vary depending
on the national provisions in force in
that country.
59DVDF0S039c
In all case, when the time limit for your
country has expired, go to a Fiat Dealer
to have the tank replaced.
The tank identification data are printed
on the tank, under the multivalve unit:

scratching, liquids and detergents.
The display should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects
which could damage its surface.
Do not press on the display when
cleaning it.
❒ never use alcohol, petrol or
petroleum-based solvents to clean
the display screen.
❒ prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it
beyond repair.
Anti-theft protection
The system is equipped with an anti-
theft protection system based on the
exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has
been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome,
the system will start to operate,
whereas if the comparison codes are
not the same or if the electronic control
unit (Body Computer) is replaced, the
system will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the
procedure described in the paragraph
below.Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will
show “Please enter Anti-Theft Code”
followed by the screen showing a
keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four
digits, from 0 to 9: to insert the code,
turn the “BROWSE ENTER” right knob
and press to confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move
the cursor to “OK” and press the
“BROWSE ENTER” right knob: the
system will start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays “Code Error”
to notify the user of the need to enter
the correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
“Incorrect Code. Radio locked.
Wait for 30 minutes”.
After the text has disappeared it is
