TRIP COMPUTERThe "Trip computer" is used to display
information on vehicle operation when
the ignition device is at MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A" and
"Trip B", where the vehicle's "complete
missions" (journeys) are recorded in a
reciprocally independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
❒Distance travelled
❒Average consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time)
To reset the values, press and hold
down theOK buttonfig. 54 on the
steering wheel.Note"Range" and "Instant
consumption" values cannot be reset.54

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGESIMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: serious and less serious failures. Serious failures are
indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious failures are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.
Warning light What it means
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ON
Low brake fluid level
The warning light switches on when the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possibly
due to a leak in the circuit. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Electric parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the electric parking brake is engaged. Release the electric parking
brake, then check that the warning light has switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and
(amber) warning lights with the engine on
indicates either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels
may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.

Warning light What it means
POWER STEERING FAILURE
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on when the ignition device is brought to MAR, but it
should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you could
not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be increased;
steering is, however, possible. On some versions, the display shows the dedicated message. Contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side and/or passenger
side seat belt (with passenger seated) is not fastened. The warning light flashes and an acoustic signal will
sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side and/or passenger side seat belt (with passenger
seated) is not correctly fastened. Fasten the seat belt.AIRBAG FAILURE
If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.
28) 29)
WARNING
28)If, when the ignition device is turned to MAR, the
warning light does not switch on or stays on whilst 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 proceeding, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked as soon as possible.
29)The failure of the
warning light is signalled by the switching on of the icon
on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light
may not indicate any failure with the restraint systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

Warning light What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display on some versions) switches on when the engine is overheated.
When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, 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.
Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on (or the icon is
displayed) again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and,
if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. 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.ELECTRONIC ALARM
The warning light turns on when the electronic alarm is activated (deterrent function).

Warning light What it means
iTPMS
iTPMS failure
The warning light switches on when a failure is detected in the iTPMS. Should one or more wheels be fitted
without sensors, the display will show a warning message until initial conditions are restored.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tyre repair kit (see
the “Fix&Go automatic kit” paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than
the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration
and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should two or more tyres be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the indications
corresponding to each tyre.
In any situation in which the dedicated message is shown on the display, it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the
contents of the "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical data" chapter, strictly complying with the indications
that you find there.
In any situation in which the dedicated message is shown on the display, the sequence of indications
corresponding to each tyre.ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system will work as normal,
but without the extra performance offered by the ABS. Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.

ESC system. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

Warning light What it means
INJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it
should switch off as soon as the engine is started. 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.
13)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly.
The warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption. On some
versions, the display shows the dedicated message. The warning light switches off if the malfunction
disappears, but it is still stored by the system. Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travelling at
moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the engine or high speed. Prolonged use of
the vehicle with the warning light on may cause damage. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the accelerator
pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
14)
WARNING
13)If, turning the ignition device to MAR, the
warning light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some
versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
