“Trip B”, are provided to monitor the
entire mission (journey) in a reciprocally
independent manner.
“Trip A”can be used to display the
values relating to: "Outside temperature
(for versions/markets, where provided)",
"Range", "Travel Distance", "Average
Fuel consumption", "Current fuel
consumption", "Average speed", "Travel
time (driving time)"
“Trip B”may be used to display the
figures relating to: "Travel Distance B",
"Average fuel consumption B",
"Average speed B", "Travel time B
(driving time)". The “Trip B” function
may be excluded.
Both functions can be reset (reset
means start of a new journey).
To reset, hold the TRIP button on the
right steering wheel stalk pressed.
NOTE “Range” and “Current fuel
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset.
WARNING
24)Failure to top up the engine oil could
result in a low level, which could prevent
normal car operation and even cause it to
stop

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
Warning light What it means
redEngine oil degraded
(diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light comes on flashing, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display.
The warning light flashes for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil is
changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning light will continue to flash in the
same mode, until the oil is changed. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.
The flashing warning light should not be considered a fault, it simply informs the customer that the oil
needs to be changed following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is accelerated by:mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF regeneration process more frequent;
use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reach its regular operating
temperature;
repeated interruptions to the regeneration process signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.
41)
WARNING
41)If the warning light 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. Remember that the operation of this warning light is not related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top up with oil
when the light starts flashing.

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance and/or time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
To keep the car’s efficiency in tip-top
condition, in the previous Scheduled
Service plan pages a few additional
checks are listed that should be carried
out more frequently with respect to
the normal coupon redemption
schedule.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to a set time
schedule. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with
the owner's explicit agreement only.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between one scheduled
servicing operation and the next should
be reduced.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
For cars with 0.9 TwinAir engines:
every3,000km check the engine oil
level and top it up to the maximum level
if necessary.DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the car is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer or
motorhome; dusty roads; short (less
than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys
with sub-zero outside temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speed or long periods
of inactivity, the following checks must
be carried out more often than
indicated in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check the cleanliness of the side,
bonnet and luggage compartment
locks, and the cleanliness and
lubrication of the linkages;
visually inspect conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes
and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes)
and rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter / pollen
filter / air cleaner.
