ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after

a few seconds. The warning light or symbol on the display lights up when the engine is overheated,

on some versions, together with a dedicated message on the display.

In normal driving conditions

: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the fluid 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 switches on again, contact a Fiat Dealership;

If the car is used under demanding conditions

(e.g. when fully loaded): slow down and, if

the warning light stays on, stop the car. 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. On certain versions a dedicated message is

displayed.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE

When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few

seconds. If the warning light stays on, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the

display, you may not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel

could be notably increased; steering is, however, possible.

In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the warning light switches on while driving (on some versions, together with a dedicated message

on the display) you may not have steering assistance. Although it will still be possible to steer

the vehicle, the effort needed to operate the steering wheel could be increased: contact a Fiat

Dealership as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent of the electric power steering could

cause the warning light on the instrument panel to switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately

(should it be in motion), stop the engine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the

warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT NOTE The steering must be initialised after disconnecting the conventional battery. The

warning light turns on to indicate this. To carry out this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all

the way from one end to the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.

INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE

Under normal conditions, the warning light comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but

should go off as soon as the engine is started.

The warning light remains on or switches on while driving, on some versions together with a

dedicated message on the display, if the injection system is not working properly. In particular, if the

warning light switches on continuously, it indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition system that

could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high

fuel consumption.

Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed without demanding

excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause

damage. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

If the warning light is flashing, this indicates that the catalytic converter may be damaged. If the light

flashes, come off the accelerator pedal to reduce engine revs until the warning light stops flashing;

continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further

flashing, and get to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

iTPMS

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Low tyre pressure

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 car 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.

ENERGY RECOVERY

(multifunction display only)

The indicator light turns on during energy recovery (deceleration with a gear engaged) for recharging

the auxiliary battery.

In some circumstances, the indicator light may turn on briefly when shifting gear. This does not

indicate a fault, so it is not necessary to go to a workshop.

36)

If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light

does not switch on or stays on while 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.

37)

A failure of the warning light

is indicated by the

symbol appearing on the display or by the

warning light blinking, depending on

the version. In this case, the

warning light may not indicate a possible problem with the airbag restraint system. Before continuing, contact

a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

38)

If the warning light

turns on when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display) stop the vehicle immediately

and contact Fiat Dealership.

39)

If the warning light

turns on whilst driving (on certain versions together with the message on the display) stop the engine immediately

and contact a Fiat Dealership.

40)

Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if the warning light

does not light up when the key is turned to MAR or if while travelling the

warning light switches on or flashes (along with a message and a symbol on the display on some versions). 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.

41)

The flashing

warning light on indicates possible

warning light faults. In this case, the

warning light may not indicate a possible

problem with the airbag restraint system. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

42)

If the system signals a pressure drop 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.

43)

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.
