WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic warning.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. In the event of a failure
indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT The failure indicators appearing on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious faults.
Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning
"cycle" with a shorter duration. Press the
SETbutton to stop the warning cycle in both cases. The warning light (or the
symbol on the display) on the instrument panel will stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Red warning lights
What it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is turned
to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
34)
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the handbrake is
engaged.
On some versions, an acoustic tone accompanies the
warning light when the vehicle is moving.If the warning light comes on while driving, check that
the handbrake is not on.
Release the handbrake, then check that the warning
light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

ABS SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the braking
system, which prevents one or more
wheels from locking and slipping
regardless of the road surface
conditions and braking intensity,
ensuring control of the vehicle even
during emergency braking.
The Electronic Braking Force
Distribution (EBD) system completes
the system allowing the brake force to
be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum
efficiency of the braking system, a
bedding-in period of about 500 km is
needed: during this period it is better to
avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS has
come into action because the brake
pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle
speed should be altered to suit the type
of road surface.
MECHANICAL BRAKE
ASSIST
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system (which cannot be
deactivated) recognises emergency
braking conditions according to the
speed of operation of the brake pedal
and provides an additional hydraulicbraking pressure to support that
provided by the driver. This allows
faster and more powerful operation of
the braking system.
IMPORTANT When the Mechanical
Brake Assist intervenes, noises may be
heard from the system. This is normal.
In any case, while braking keep the
brake pedal firmly depressed.
40) 41) 42)
FAULT WARNINGS
ABS failure
This is indicated by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel together with a message on the
display on some versions (see the
“Warning lights and messages”
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
In this case, the braking system will still
be effective, although without the
extra capacity offered by the ABS. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
EBD failure
This is indicated by turning on the
andwarning light on the
instrument panel together with
a message on the display on some
versions (see the “Warning lights and
messages” paragraph in the “Knowing
the instrument panel” chapter).In this case, the rear wheels may
suddenly lock and the vehicle may
swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
43)
WARNING
40)When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot, but keep the pedal pushed
down; in doing so you, will stop in the
shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
41)If the ABS system intervenes, this
indicates that the traction of the tyres on
the road is nearing its limit. You must slow
down to a speed compatible with the
available traction.
42)The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it; you
should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
43)If only the
instrument panel
warning light comes on (with a message in
the multifunction display on some
versions), stop the vehicle immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Any
loss of fluid will affect the brake system
functionality, both conventional and
ant-lock wheels.

FIX&GO
AUTOMATIC KIT
115) 116)
37)
The Fix&Go automatic quick tyre repair
kit is located in a special container in
the boot.
The quick tyre repair kit contains fig.
131:
one cartridge A containing sealant
and fitted with: transparent tube for
injecting the sealant D and sticker
C with the wording “Max 80 km/h” to
be placed in a clearly visible position
(e.g. on the dashboard) after repairing
the tyre;
one compressor B;
one leaflet containing instructions for
using the kit;
a pair of gloves located in the hose
compartment of the cartridge D.TYRE REPAIRING AND
PRESSURE RESTORING
PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can carry out the procedure
safely. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the vehicle
(anyway comply with the laws in force
in the country you are driving in);
insert the cartridge A containing the
sealant in the proper compartment of
the compressor B, pressing it down
hard fig. 131. Remove the adhesive
speed label C and apply it in a visible
position fig. 132;
wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and screw the transparent
tube of the sealing fluid D fig. 131
onto the valve. If a 250 ml cartridge is
present the housing of the transparent
tube is provided with removable ring
to facilitate extraction. Make sure that
the ON-OFF button E fig. 133 is in
the off position (button not pressed);

operate the compressor by pressing
the ON-OFF button E fig. 133. When
the pressure shown in the Owner
Handbook or on the specific label
appears on the pressure gauge G, stop
the compressor by pressing the
ON-OFF button E again;
disconnect the cartridge A from the
compressor, by pressing the release
button H and lifting the cartridge A
upwards fig. 135.If the pressure gauge G fig. 133
indicates a pressure lower than 1.8 bar
/ 26 psi 15 minutes after starting the
compressor, switch off the compressor,
disconnect the sealing fluid tube D
from the tyre valve and remove the
cartridge A from the compressor fig.
135.
Move the vehicle by approximately 10
m to promote the distribution of
sealant; stop the vehicle safely, operate
the handbrake and restore pressure
using the black inflation pipe L fig. 136
to reach the required pressure. If also
in this case, the pressure is lower
than 1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after
turning on, do not resume driving
but contact a Fiat Dealership.After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
position the vehicle in a safe and
suitable area and engage the
handbrake. Take the compressor and
restore pressure using the black
inflation tube L fig. 136.
If the pressure shown is higher than 1.8
bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure and
drive safely to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. If, however, the pressure
is lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi, do not
resume driving but contact a Fiat
Dealership.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the vehicle safely, as shown
above, and operate the handbrake;
extract the black inflation tube L fig.
136 and screw it firmly onto the tyre
valve. Follow the instructions shown in
fig. 134 and fig. 136.
Press the air release button M fig. 133
to adjust any tyre overpressure.

IN AN EMERGENCY

JUMP STARTING
If the warning lightremains on
continuously on the instrument panel,
contact the Fiat Dealership immediately.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery
with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle
fig. 166:
connect the positive terminals (+
mark near the terminal) of the two
batteries using a suitable lead;
with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (-) of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point
on the
engine or the gearbox of the vehicle to
be started;
start the engine;
when the engine has been started,
remove the leads reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.
127)
40)
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another
vehicle, avoid any metal parts on the
latter and the vehicle with the flat
battery from accidentally coming into
contact.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not active until the engine is started,
so you will need to apply much more
force to the brake pedal or steering
wheel.
WARNING
127)This starting procedure must be
performed by expert personnel because
incorrect actions could cause electrical
discharge of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted
cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
WARNING
40)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.
