parameters closely linked to the
efficiency of the driving style, with a view
to limiting consumption.
Advanced Efficiency
The three center icons on the screen
indicate the effectiveness of the driving
style, linked to the following parameters:
acceleration, deceleration and gear
shifts, with a view to limiting
consumption. The bar below the icons
shows current consumption and the
green line represents the optimal area.
The globe lights up gradually according to
lower consumption.
Dynamic
The displayed parameters are related to
vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate the
trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information),
considering gravity acceleration as a
reference unit.

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning
lights and messages.
Note:
The warning light turns on together
with a dedicated message and/or chime
when applicable. These indications are
precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained
in the Owner’s Manual, which you are
advised to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this
section in the event of a failure
indication.
The failure indicators appearing on
the display are divided into two
categories: very serious and less serious
faults. Serious faults are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning "cycle.”
Less serious faults are indicated by a
warning "cycle" with a shorter duration.
You can stop the warning cycle in both
cases by pushing the button located on
the windshield wiper stalk. The
instrument panel warning light will stay
on until the cause of the failure is
eliminated.

Red Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID/ELECTRIC PARK
BRAKE ON
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake
fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light
turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem
with the anti-lock brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.
In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has
been corrected. If the problem is related to the Brake
Booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake,
and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by
turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the
ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for
approximately four seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light
inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied
with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied.
It does not show the degree of brake application.
For low brake fluid level, go to an authorized dealer to have
the system checked as soon as possible.
Release the electric park brake, then check that the
warning light has turned off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an authorized dealer.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
FAILURE
The simultaneous turning on of the BRAKE (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 abruptly. Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized dealer to
have the system inspected immediately.

Amber Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE (ABS) INDICATOR LIGHT
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The
light will turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then the
Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and
service is required. However, the conventional brake system
will continue to operate normally if the brake indicator light
is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as
soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock
Brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by
an authorized dealer.Drive carefully and contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING INDICATOR LIGHT
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to
indicate that the tire pressure is lower than the
recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is
occurring. In these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned
above, the display will show the indications corresponding
to each tire in sequence.
Continue driving for up to 50 miles (80 km) at a speed no
higher then 50 mph (80 km/h). Contact an authorized dealer
to have the tire repaired.

LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
This telltale indicates low engine oil pressure. If the
telltale turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut
off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound
when this telltale turns on. Do not operate the vehicle
until the cause is corrected. This telltale does not indicate
how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level must be
checked under the hood.

be driven.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to have
the failure eliminated.
If the telltale flashes with the engine running, immediate
intervention is required. A loss of performance,
irregular/high idling speed or engine stopping might take
place and the vehicle may need to be towed.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to have
the failure eliminated.
LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL
This telltale appears on the panel when the engine oil level
falls below the minimum recommended value.
The level must also be checked using the dipstick in the
engine compartment (see chapter "Servicing and
Maintenance.")Contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked.
