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.

Versions with colour display
When the sensors are activated, the
screen in fig. 52 appears on the
display.
Obstacle presence and distance
information is therefore provided both
by the acoustic signal and the
instrument panel display.
51DVDF0S0182c
52DVDF0S0459c
The system indicates a detected
obstacle by displaying an arc
according to the distance of the
obstacle and its position in relation to
the car.
If an object is detected in the rear left,
central or right zone, the display shows
a flashing arc in the corresponding
zone and a sound is emitted.
As the car approaches the object, the
display shows one or more flashing
arcs that approach the car, and the
sound becomes more frequent until it
becomes continuous.
The colour on the display depends on
the distance from and position of the
obstacle.
The car is close to the obstacle when a
blinking red arch appears on the
display (to the right, in the centre or to
the left) and a continuous sound is
emitted. If there are several obstacles,
the closest one is indicated.Fault indications
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged by
the warning light
è(or the icon ton
the colour display) in the instrument
panel and by the relevant message in
the display (for versions/markets,
where provided).
Operation with a trailer
Sensor operation is automatically
deactivated when the trailer’s electrical
cable plug is inserted.

53
START&STOP
SYSTEM 19)
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
❒ With manual gearbox:with the
car stationary, the engine stops with
the gearbox in neutral and the
clutch pedal released.
❒ With Dualogic gearbox:the
engine stops if the vehicle is at a
standstill and the brake pedal is
pressed. This condition can be
maintained even if the brake pedal
is not depressed, if the gear lever is
in position N.
NOTE: The engine can only be
stopped automatically after exceeding
about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
❒ The warning light
Uon the
instrument panel indicates that the
engine has stopped, on some
versions this indication is given by
the display.
Restarting the engine
❒ with manual gearbox:press the
clutch pedal.
❒ With Dualogic gearbox:if the gear
lever is in position N, place it in any
other gear, otherwise release the
brake pedal or move the gear lever
to +, – or R.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
❒ The Start&Stop system can be
activated/deactivated using the
button
A - fig. 53 on the dashboard.
When the system is deactivated, the
warning light
or
Tsymbol switches on.
❒ On some versions the information is
given by the display.

Radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle radio passport
shows the system model, serial
number and secret code.
WARNING Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
In case of loss of the car radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the car
ownership documents.Important notes
In the event of a failure, the system
should only be checked and repaired at
a Fiat Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low,
the display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.
If the vehicle is stopped for a while and
the external temperature is very high,
the system may go into “thermal
protection” mode, suspending
operation until the temperature in the
passenger compartment returns to
acceptable levels.
Look at the screen only and when it is
necessary and safe.
If you need to look at the screen for a
long time, pull over to a safe place so
as not to be distracted while driving.
Immediately stop using the system in
the event of a fault. Otherwise the
system might be damaged. Contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system repaired.
USB SOURCE
To activate USB mode, insert an
appropriate device into the vehicle USB
port (fig. 61).
IMPORTANT After using a USB
recharging socket, we recommend
always disconnecting the device
(smartphone) by removing the cable
from the vehicle socket first, never
from the device (fig. 61).
Cables left flying or connected
incorrectly could compromise correct
recharging and/or the USB socket
condition.

Recording and transferring
trip data
The trip data can be stored in the
system memory and transferred using
a suitably configured USB memory
stick or by Uconnect™ LIVE app.
This allows you to display the history of
the collected data, showing the
complete analysis of the trip data and
of your driving style.
Further information is available at
www.driveuconnect.eu.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the USB
memory stick nor unpair the
smartphone and the Uconnect™ LIVE
App before the system has
downloaded the data, otherwise it
could be lost.
During the transfer of data to the
devices, messages may appear on the
radio display to guide the user
correctly through the operation; follow
these instructions. These messages
are only displayed with the ignition key
at STOP and when a delay in the
system switching off is set.
The data are automatically transferred
to the devices when the engine is
switched off. Transferred data will be
deleted from the system memory in
this manner. You can choose to store the trip data
or not, by pressing the “Settings”
button and by setting the storage
activation and the USB or Cloud
transfer mode.
REMARKS
When the USB memory stick is full, the
warning messages are shown on the
radio display.
