WARNING
231)Use AdBlue (Urea) additive only
according to DIN 70 070 and ISO
22241-1. Other fluids may cause damage
to the system: also exhaust emissions
would no longer comply with the law.
232)The distribution companies are
responsible for the compliance of their
product. Observe the precautions of
storage and servicing, in order to preserve
the initial qualities. The manufacturer of the
vehicle does not recognise any guarantee
in case of malfunctions and damage
caused to the vehicle due to the use of
AdBlue (Urea) additive not in accordance
with regulations.
233)Always turn off the ignition device
before working in the engine compartment
(see the related information in the “Starting
the engine” paragraph in the “Starting and
driving” chapter).
234)Do not open the coolant circuit. It is
dangerous to eyes and skin.

Use of devices on the same frequency
as the card (cell phone, etc.).Stop using these devices or use the integrated key (refer
to the "Electronic key” paragraph).
The vehicle is located in an area known
for a high presence of electro-
magnetic waves. Vehicle battery run
down.Use the key integrated in the key (refer to the "Electronic
key” paragraph in the “Knowing you vehicle” chapter)
The vehicle has been started.With the engine started, locking/unlocking the doors with
the key is not possible. Disengage the starter device.
Using the remote control
The remote control does not lock or
unlock the doors.Remote control battery run down. Use the key.
Use of devices on the same frequency
as the remote control (cell phone, etc.).Stop using the other devices or use the key.
The vehicle is located in an area known
for a high presence of electro-
magnetic waves. Battery flat.Replace the battery. You can still lock/unlock and start
your vehicle (refer to the "Locking/unlocking the doors"
and "Starting the engine” paragraphs).
The vehicle has been started.With the engine started, locking/unlocking the doors with
the key is not possible. Disengage the starter device.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Using the starter motor
The instrument panel
warning lights
are dim or do not turn on, the starter
motor does not turn over.Battery terminal loose, disconnected or
rusted.Tighten it, reconnect it or clean it if it is rusted.
Battery run down or out of order.Connect another battery to the defective one. See the
paragraph "Emergency starting" or replace the battery if
necessary. Do not push the vehicle if the steering wheel
lock is engaged.
Circuit defective. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
The engine does not start.Starting conditions were not satisfied.Refer to the “Starting the engine” paragraph in the
“Knowing your vehicle” chapter.
The electronic key "easy access" does
not work.Insert the key in the reader to start the engine. Refer to the
“Starting the engine” paragraph in the “Knowing your
vehicle” chapter.
The engine does not stop.Electronic key not recognised. Insert key into the reader.
Electronic problem. Press the starter button five times in a row, quickly.
The steering wheel stays locked.Steering wheel locked.Turn the steering wheel and press the start button at the
same time (refer to the "Starting the engine” paragraph in
the “Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
Circuit defective. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
During driving
White smoke coming from the exhaust
pipe.This does not necessarily indicate a
defect: the smoke comes from
regenerating the particulate filter.Please see the paragraph "Details about the Diesel
version".
Smoke coming from underneath the
vehicle when starting the heating.This does not necessarily indicate a
fault: the smoke comes from the boiler.
In this case, the smoke will gradually
disappear when the passenger
compartment has reached the right
temperature.

compartment.Short circuit or leaks from the cooling
circuit.Stop, remove the starter device, move away from the
vehicle and contact a Fiat Dealership.
The oil pressure warning light goes on
in a curve or when braking.The oil level is too low.Add engine oil (see the paragraph "Warning lights and
messages" in the chapter "Knowing the instrument
panel").
The oil pressure warning light goes on
and delays going off or stays on when
you accelerate.Low oil pressure. Stop and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Drive carefully at slow speed taking into account the level
of effort on the steering wheel needed to turn the wheels.
Contact a Fiat Dealership. Servo electrical motor fault.
Servo system fault.
Vibrations.Badly inflated tyres, badly balanced or
damaged.Check the tyre pressure; if the defect persists, have it
checked at a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT
64)Radiator: in case there is not enough relative cooling liquid, remember that when the engine is very hot, you must not fill it with cold
cooling liquid. After any mechanical intervention that involves replacing the coolant liquid, even partially, this last must be a specific type.
Please remember you need to use only products selected by Fiat Dealerships.
