temporary lighting of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an alert message.
As soon as tra󰀩c conditions allow, regenerate
the lter by driving at a speed of at least 37 mph
(60 km/h), with an engine speed above 2,500
rpm, for about 15 minutes (until the warning lamp
goes out).
If it is not possible to reach 37 mph (60 km/h),
leave the engine running at idle for about 15
minutes, then drive with an engine speed above
2,500 rpm for 15 minutes.
Do not switch o󰀨 the engine until the lter
is fully regenerated; repeated intervals
can degrade the engine oil prematurely.
Regenerating the lter while the vehicle is
stationary is not recommended.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you
may, in exceptional circumstances, notice
water vapour coming from the exhaust while
accelerating. These emissions have no
impact on the vehicle’s behaviour and the
environment.
New vehicle
During the rst few particle lter
regeneration operations, you may notice a
"burning" smell. This is perfectly normal.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Drive selector
The drive selector does not require any
maintenance.
Manual parking brake
If you notice excessive brake lever travel
or decreased e󰀨ectiveness, the parking
brake must be adjusted, even between two
services.
This system must be checked by a Fiat
Dealership or a qualied workshop.
Electric parking brake
This system does not require any routine
servicing. However, in the event of a
problem, do not hesitate to have the system
checked by a Fiat Dealership or a qualied
workshop.
For more information on the Electric
parking brake, refer to the
corresponding section.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style of
driving, particularly in the case of vehicles
used in town, over short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in the
brake uid level indicates that the brake pads
are worn.
After washing the vehicle, moisture, or in
wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking e󰀩ciency may
be reduced. Gently dab the brakes to dry and
defrost them.
Brake disc/drum wear
For any information on checking brake
disc/drum wear, contact a Fiat Dealership
or a qualied workshop.
Wheels and tyres
The ination pressure of all tyres,
including the spare wheel, must be
checked on "cold” tyres.
The pressures indicated on the tyre pressure
label are valid for "cold" tyres. If you have driven
for more than 10 minutes or more than 6 miles
(10 kilometres) at over 31 mph (50 km/h), add
0.3 bar (30 kPa) to the values indicated on the
label.
