WARNING
263)In the country or area where is no
available emergency call centre of the
ERA-GLONASS, or where the radio wave
of emergency call cannot be transmitted or
received normally, the system does not
operate. In this case, directly arrange an
emergency vehicle or road service with a
cellular phone, etc.
264)If an emergency occurs and you feel a
smell of the fuel or a bad smell, do not stay
inside the vehicle and escape to a safe
place immediately.
265)While waiting for the rescue after the
emergency call, take action to prevent
secondary accidents such as a rear end
collision with the following vehicle, and
escape to a safe place.
266)In the following cases, directly arrange
an emergency vehicle or road service with
a cellular phone, etc. 1 - When the system
does not operate by failing because of
collision, etc. 2 - When the vehicle is in the
place where radio waves cannot be
transmitted and received (for example,
indoor, a basement parking area,
mountainous area, inside a tunnel, etc.). 3 -
When the line to the emergency call centre
is busy and the call is not reachable to the
emergency call centre.
267)Do not remove or install the above
parts. This can cause failure of contact or
equipment, and the system may not
operate normally.268)If the red lamp and/or the green lamp
do not illuminate after setting the ignition
switch or the operation mode to “ON”,
there is a possible failure in the system.
Have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership.
269)If the red lamp remains illuminated or
illuminates again after approximately
20 seconds has elapsed after setting the
ignition switch or the operation mode to
“ON”, there is a possible failure in the
system or the battery for exclusive use of
the ERA-GLONASS may be exhausted.
The battery life is approximately 3 years.
Have the system immediately inspected or
replace the battery by a Fiat Dealership.
270)When the system is not in the
standby state, the system does not
operate. When you drive, make sure to
check that the system is in the standby
state.
271)Before pressing the SOS switch, stop
the vehicle in a safe place. If you operate it
while driving, your attention to the
surrounding circumstances becomes
insufficient enough to cause an
unexpected accident.
272)If the red lamp illuminates as follows,
directly arrange an emergency vehicle or
road service with a cellular phone, etc. 1 -
When the red lamp remains illuminated
(there is a possible failure in the system). 2
- When the red lamp illuminates for
60 seconds (the vehicle may be in the
place where radio waves cannot be
transmitted and received).273)Do not replace the speakers. If they
are replaced, the buzzer sound or the voice
of the operator at the emergency call
centre may not be audible. If the speakers
need to be replaced due to a failure etc.
we recommend you to consult a Fiat
Dealership.
274)An error may occur between the
actual report point and the point reported
to the emergency call centre. Mutually
confirm the report point and the object
through the phone call with the operator of
the emergency call centre.
275)If any of the check results are not
normal, the red lamp illuminates (for
approximately 5 seconds) and the buzzer
sounds 3 times. In this case, there is a
possible failure in the system. Have the
system immediately inspected at a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
164)Do not open the cover except when
you press the SOS switch. You may press
the SOS switch by mistake. In addition, if
the cover is opened while driving, the cover
can cause injury in case of emergency.

CATALYTIC
CONVERTER
372)
The exhaust gas scavenging devices
used with catalytic converter are
extremely efficient for the reduction of
noxious gases. The catalytic converter
is installed in the exhaust system.
It is important to keep the engine
properly tuned to ensure proper catalyst
operation and prevent possible catalyst
damage.
NOTE Use fuel of the type
recommended in “Fuel selection”.
WARNING
372)As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass or
leaves can come in contact with a hot
exhaust since a fire could occur.
ENGINE OIL
To check and refill engine oil
373)
A — Minimum level
B — Maximum level
C — Oil replacement indication mark
The engine oil used has a significant
effect on the engine’s performance,
service life and startability. Be sure to
use oil of the recommended quality and
appropriate viscosity. All engines
consume a certain amount of oil during
normal operation. Therefore, it is
important to check the oil level at
regular intervals or before starting a
long trip.
1. Park the car on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3.Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean cloth.5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it
goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil
level, which should always be within the
range indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the
cylinder head cover and add enough oil
to raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified
engine oil and do not mix various types
of oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap
securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating
step 4 to 6.
NOTE Check or refill the oil according
to the following manner.
When the oil level is checked in step
6 above, check it on a low side of the
dipstick because it is different in
appearance of oil level in the two sides
of the dipstick.
On vehicles without diesel particulate
filter (DPF), the oil level should be within
the range (A) to (B) on the dipstick.
On vehicles with DPF, the oil level
should be within the range (A) to (C) (oil
replacement indication mark) on the
dipstick. If the oil level is beyond the oil
replacement indication mark (C),
replace the oil as soon as possible.
Then, the oil should be refilled to the
459AHA102654

maximum level (B).
