Operation Manual

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
186
The engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on:
however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could
cause premature deterioration of the engine oil.
For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off
before stopping the engine as described above. Do not complete
the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
• The presence of water in the supply circuit may cause severe
damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If
warning light
c or symbol E lights up (on some versions with the
message on the display), go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the system bled. If the above indication occurs
immediately after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
• 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 maintenance 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.
• 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
•If when turning the key to MAR the warning light ¬ does not
turn on or if it stays on when travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems;
in this event airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in
case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they may be
deployed accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
• A fault to the
¬ warning light is indicated, according to the
version, by the
¬ symbol appearing on the display or by the
è
warning light blinking. In this case, warning light ¬ may not
indicate failures in the retaining systems. Before continuing,
contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
• The blinking
è
warning light on indicates possible ¬
warning light faults. In this case, warning light ¬ may not
indicate failures in the retaining systems. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
• If the warning light
v turns on when the car is travelling
(on certain versions together with the message on the display),
stop the car immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
• If the
v warning light (or v, for versions/markets, where
provided) switches on, the degraded engine oil must be changed
as soon as possible, and never more than 500 km from the first
time that the warning light switches on. Failure to observe the
above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate
the warranty. The activation of this warning light is not related to
the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top up with oil
when the warning light starts flashing.
• The driving speed must always be suitable for traffic and
weather conditions and the driver must always comply with the
Highway Code.
