Warning lightWhat it means
yellowiTPMS
iTPMS failure
When an iTPMS system failure is detected, the light flashes for 75 seconds, then stays on and a warning
message appears. This also happens if there are one or more wheels without sensors, until initial
conditions are restored.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tyre repair kit (see
the “Fix&Go Automatic kit” paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than
the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration
and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
In any situation in which the dedicated message is shown on the display, it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the
contents of the "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical data" chapter, strictly complying with the indications
that you find there.
Once the normal operating conditions of the car are restored, carry out the "Reset" procedure.
WARNING Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as the car handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.

ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system maintains its
efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system. Drive carefully and contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.

This warning is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
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
manually.
The RESET procedure must be carried
out:
whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
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
warning
light may give false indications on one
or more tyres. To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the car stopped and the ignition device
at MAR, use the Main Menu as follows:
go to "Vehicle info" and then to
"Reset tyre pressure";
press the "OK" and hold down (more
than 2 seconds);
the display will show the procedure
progress (with a graphic bar) till the
RESET is completed.
At the end of the RESET procedure the
display will show the "Reset saved"
message, indicating that the
self-learning has been started and you
will hear a beep. If the self-learning
procedure of the iTPMS system has not
been carried out correctly, you will not
hear any acoustic warning.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
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. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
damaged or worn tyre, fitting the
space-saver spare wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" tyre repair kit, fitting
snow chains, fitting different tyres on the axles) the system may provide false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated
the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a warning message and the symbols "–
–" will appear next to the shape of the
car next to each tyre.
This warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and then
on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
In the case of abnormal signals, it is
recommended to perform the RESET
procedure. If the indications appear
again after a successful RESET, check
that the tyres used on all four wheels
are the same and that the tyres are not
damaged. As soon as possible, refit the
standard tyre instead of the
space-saver spare, remove the snow
chains (if possible), check correct load
distribution and repeat the RESET
procedure by driving on a clean,
tarmacked road. If the indications
persist, contact a Fiat Dealership.
