Start&Stop SYSTEM DEACTIVATION (for versions/markets, where provided)
The deactivation of the Start&Stop system, is indicated by the lighting of the warning light or the symbol on the display
along with a dedicated message on the display on some versions.
TT
START&STOP SYSTEM ACTIVE (for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on with fixed light, along with a dedicated message on the display on some versions , in the
case of Start&Stop system failure.
UU
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAULT
Under normal conditions, the warning light comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but should go off as soon as
the engine is started.
The warning light remains on or switches on whilst driving, on some versions together with a dedicated message on the
display, if the injection system is not working properly. In particular, if the warning light switches on continuously, it indicates
a malfunction in the supply/ignition system that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance,
poor driveability and high fuel consumption.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed without demanding excessive effort from the
engine.
Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Petrol engines only
If the warning light is flashing, this indicates that the catalytic converter may be damaged.
If the warning light flashes, it is necessary to release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning
light stops flashing; continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further
flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. START&STOP SYSTEM FAULT (versions with colour display) (for versions/markets, where provided)
The symbol appears, along with a dedicated message on the display on some versions, in the case of Start&Stop system
fault. Go to Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS 39) 22) 3)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the requirements
of the Scheduled Servicing Plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel consumption and emission
specifications. Lubricant quality is crucial for engine operation and duration.
If lubricants conforming to the specific request are not available, products that meet the indicated specifications can be used
to top up; in this case optimal performance of the engine is not guaranteed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
196
The engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on:
however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could
cause premature deterioration of the engine oil.
For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off
before stopping the engine as described above. Do not complete
the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
•Water in the fuel circuit may severely damage the injection
system and cause irregular engine operation. If the warning light
or the symbol
Eturns on (together with a message on the display
for some versions), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible
to have the system bled. If the above indication occurs
immediately after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
• If the system signals a pressure decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres. The iTPMS
does not relieve the driver from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to be considered a system to
replace maintenance or a safety system. Tyre pressure must be
checked with tyres cold. Should it become necessary for whatever
reason to check pressure with warm tyres, do not reduce
pressure even though it is higher than the prescribed value, but
repeat the check when tyres are cold.
• The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops
(for example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt steering.
The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them. Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration and may affect the
capacity to drive safely.

PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
•If when turning the key to MAR the warning light ¬does not
turn on or if it stays on when travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems;
in this event airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in
case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they may be
deployed accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
•A fault to the
¬warning light is indicated, according to the
version, by the ¬symbol appearing on the display or by the èwarning light blinking. In this case, warning light ¬may not
indicate failures in the retaining systems. Before continuing,
contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
•The blinking
èwarning light on indicates possible ¬warning light faults. In this case, warning light ¬may not
indicate failures in the retaining systems. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
•If the warning light
vturns on when the car is travelling
(on certain versions together with the message on the display),
stop the car immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
•If the
vwarning light (or v, for versions/markets, where
provided) 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 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.
•The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic and
weather conditions and the driver must always comply with the
Highway Code.

PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
42) INTERIORS
•Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified
petrol to clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause
a fire.
•Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding
50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
43) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – FUEL SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried
out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
44) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – RIM PROTECTOR
TYRES
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed
(with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with
Rim Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause
sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
45) LPG
•Note that in some countries (including Italy) there are legal
restrictions in force for parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes under this category.
•Do not switch between the two operating modes (petrol/LPG)
whilst starting the engine.
•The LPG supply system is equipped with a “consumption”
function linked to the LED display of LPG level on the switch; this
function activates only after a consistent variation in fuel level has
been detected. •Running the battery with an excessively low liquid level will
damage the battery beyond repair and could even cause its
explosion.
•If the vehicle must remain unused for a long time at a very low
temperature, remove the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
•When performing any operation on the battery or near it,
always protect your eyes with special goggles.
40) TYRES AND WHEELS
•Remember that the road holding qualities of your car also
depend on correct tyre pressures.
•If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may overheat and be
severely damaged as a result.
•Do not switch tyres from the right hand side of the vehicle to the
left hand side, and vice versa.
•Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the
use of temperatures exceeding 150°C.
The mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.
41) WINDSCREEN AND –REAR WINDOW WIPER
•Driving with worn windscreen/rear window wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad weather.
•If the window needs to be cleaned, make sure the device is
deactivated or the key is on STOP.
