Amber warning lights
Warning light What it means
amberiTPMS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly to indicate that the system is
temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system will go back to normal operation when the operating
conditions will allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the “Reset” procedure after restoring the normal
operating conditions. If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on constantly 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. It is advisable to restore the correct pressure value (see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical specifications" section). Once the normal operating conditions of the vehicle
are restored, carry out the "Reset" procedure.
IMPORTANT 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.
Warning light What it means
amberREAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is activated.

IMPORTANT After the car is stopped,
the brake callipers may be locked
for about 2 seconds for safety reasons.
Make sure you press the brake pedal
if the vehicle moves slightly forwards.
Driving in special conditions
In given driving conditions, such as for
example driving near a curve (see fig.
58) / small vehicles and/or not aligned
with the driving lane (see fig. 59) /
change of lane by other vehicles (see
fig. 60) operation of the system may be
unexpected or delayed. The driver
must also pay attention to maintain
control of the car and drive in complete
safety.
iTPMS System (indirect
Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
32) 33) 34) 35) 36)
Description
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.Correct tyre pressure
If no under-inflated tyres are detected,
the outline of the car will be shown
on the display.
Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel and a warning message on
the display, along with an acoustic
signal.
In this case, the outline of the car is
shown on the instrument panel display
with the two symbols
.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on until
the “Reset” procedure is carried out. If
the “under inflated” indication appears,
you are advised to check the pressure
of all four tyres in all cases and then
to perform the “Reset” procedure.
“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:
each time 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 Setup Menu on
the display as follows:
go to "Vehicle info" and then to
"Reset tyres";
hold the "OK" button the steering
wheel pressed (see figure) more longer
than 2 seconds;
the display will show the procedure
progress until the "Reset" is completed.At the end of the “Reset” procedure the
display will show the dedicated
message, indicating that the self-
learning has been started. If the
self-learning procedure of the iTPMS
system has was not performed
correctly on the display, no message
will be shown.
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. ice, snow, unsurfaced
roads) the warning 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,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give 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 dedicated 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.61F0Y0659C
