2019 FIAT TIPO 5DOORS STATION WAGON display

TRIP COMPUTER
The "Trip computer" is used to display
information on vehicle operation when
the ignition device is at MAR.
This function has two separate
memories, called “Trip A” and “Trip B”,
where the trip data are recorded
separately from each other.
Both memories can be reset.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
Autonomy
Instant consumption
Distance (distance travelled)
Average fuel consumption
Average speed
Trip time (driving time)
NOTE The displayed data can change
based on the vehicle version.
To reset the values, press and hold
down theOKbutton on the steering
wheel fig. 80.NOTE “Range” and “Instantaneous fuel
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. 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. Always
refer to the information in this section in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.
NOTE The warning lights and symbols described below are indicative and can change based on the version or market.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
redINSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / PARKING BRAKE ON
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. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has
switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the parking brake is engaged.
redPOWER STEERING FAILURE
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on when the ignition device is brought to MAR, but it
should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you could
not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be increased;
steering is, however, possible. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
redAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE / DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light or symbol switches on to indicate that there is a failure in the automatic transmission or in
the dual clutch automatic transmission. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.20)
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
The warning light or symbol switches on in the case of insufficient engine oil pressure.
21)
IMPORTANT Do not use the car until the failure has been solved. The switching on of the symbol does not
show the quantity of oil in the engine: the oil level must be checked manually.
IMPORTANT
20)Driving the vehicle with the warning light or symbol on may severely damage the transmission, with resulting breakage. The oil may also
overheat: contact with hot engine or with exhaust components at high temperature could cause fires.
21)If the warning light or the symbol turns on while driving, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Warning light What it means
red
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels may
suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
redSEAT BELTS REMINDER
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side
seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning
light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger side seat
belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened. In this
case, fasten the seat belt.
redENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light on the display lights up when the engine has overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light on the display
switches on again, contact a Fiat Dealership;
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and,
if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant
level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before turning it off.

WARNING
35)If, when the ignition device is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on or stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this case the airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of cases,
they may be deployed accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
36)The failure of the
warning light is signalled by the lighting up of thesymbol on the instrument panel display (or, for versions where
provided, by the flashing of the generic failure warning light). In this case, the warning light may not indicate any faults with the restraint
systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked

Amber warning lights
Warning light What it means
amberGENERAL FAILURE
When this warning light or symbol starts flashing, for versions/markets where provided, this indicates an
airbag warning light fault. In this case, the airbag may not indicate possible airbag system malfunctions.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
When this warning light or symbol turn on, it can indicate the intervention or a problem concerning the fuel
cut-off system or an engine oil pressure sensor failure.
amberiTPMS
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly (together with a message on
the display) 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 pressure of one or more tyres 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.
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.
amberABS 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.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
amberINJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it
should switch off as soon as the engine is started. The operation of the warning light may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.
22)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly.
The warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption. The warning
light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system. Under these conditions, the
vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the engine
or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the accelerator
pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
UREA INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE (Diesel versions)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on, together with a dedicated message on the display (for versions/markets,
where provided) if a fluid not conforming with the nominal characteristics is inserted o if an average
consumption of UREA over 50% is detected.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
If the problem is not solved, a specific message will appear on the instrument panel display whenever a
certain threshold is reached until it will no longer be possible to start the engine.
When 200 km will remain to prevent the engine restart, a continuous dedicated message will appear on the
dashboard (for versions/markets, where provided) accompanied by an acoustic warning sound.
IMPORTANT
