To consult the information, proceed as
follows:
press the MENU button: the
display shows when servicing is due in
km/mi or days (where provided)
according to the previous setting (see
paragraph "Units of measurement");
press the MENU buttonto
return to the menu screen; press the

value in miles). Below this threshold
servicing indications are more frequent.The display will be in km or miles
according to the unit of measurement
set. When the next scheduled servicing
is approaching, the word “Service”
will appear on the display, followed by
the number of kilometres/miles or
days (where provided) left, when the
key is turned to MAR. Go to a Fiat
Dealership, where the "Service
Schedule" operations will be performed
and the message will be reset.

WARNING
44)Warning lightwill blink to indicate possible faults of the warning light. In this case, thewarning light may not indicate a possible
problem with the airbag restraint system. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked
Warning light What it means
yellowSTART&STOP SYSTEM OFF
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The deactivation of the Start&Stop system is indicated by the lighting of the warning light or the symbol on
the display along with a dedicated message on the display on some versions.
yellowiTPMS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the recommended
value, in order to guarantee long tyre life and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be flat and probably punctured. In this
case it is advisable to restore the correct pressure value. Once the normal operating conditions of the
vehicle are restored, carry out the Tyre reset procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly (along with a dedicated
message on the display) to indicate that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system goes
back to normal operation when the operating conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the Tyre
reset procedure after restoring the normal operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING
45)If the system signals a pressure decrease on a specific tyre, it is recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres. The iTPMS does
not relieve the driver from the obligation to check the tyre pressure every month; it is not to be considered a system to replace servicing or
a safety system. Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres cold. Should it become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even though it is higher than the prescribed value, but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
46)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (for example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering. The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not able to inflate them. Insufficient tyre
inflation increases fuel consumption, reduces the tread duration and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
Green warning lights

The warning light switches on when the side lights or dipped headlights are turned on.
Follow Me Home
The warning light comes on, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, when the
"Follow me home" device is used.
greenFOG LIGHTS
The warning light comes on when the front fog lights are turned on.
greenLEFT DIRECTION INDICATOR
The warning light turns on when the direction indicator control lever is moved downwards or, together with
the right indicator, when the hazard warning light button is pressed.

DESCRIPTION
The vehicle can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
To access the iTPMS screens ( fig. 51 -
fig. 52), press the TRIP button.
The fig. 52 screen will be displayed only
if one or more tyres are flat.
Correct tyre pressure (versions with
colour display)
If pressure of all the tyres corresponds
to the correct value, the display shows
the following screen fig. 51.
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. Furthermore, the display will
show “KO” beside the tyres fig. 52
along with a warning message.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.
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 key
at MAR, use the setup menu (see the
description of the "Display" paragraph).
At the end of the Reset procedure,
the display will show the message
"Reset saved", indicating that
self-learning has started.
If the iTPMS self-learning is not
correctly executed, the message is not
displayed.
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. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads...) the signalling may be delayed
or partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.

SAFETY

Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
damaged or worn tyre, fitting the
space-saver spare wheel, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
warnings 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 warning message.
This warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
WARNING
77)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on one or more tyres, it
is recommended to always check the
pressure on all four tyres.
78)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to
be considered a system to replace
maintenance or a safety system.
79)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.80)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
81)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
82)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
some of the most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your
vehicle" chapter.
