Electronic Brake 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.
Oil Temperature Warning Light
This telltale indicates engine oil
temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon
as possible. If the problem persists, contact an

AMBER WARNING LIGHTS
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light
This light monitors the 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.

Indicator Light — If Equipped
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the
indicator light illuminates, but should
turn off as soon as the engine is started.
ESC System Intervention : Intervention by the
system is indicated by the flashing of the
indicator light: it indicates that the vehicle is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC System Failure: If the indicator light does not
turn off, or if it stays on with the engine running,
a failure was found in the ESC system.
Hill Start Assist System Failure : The illumination
of the indicator light indicates a Hill Start Assist
system failure.
In these cases, contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light — If Equipped
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the
indicator light illuminates, but should
turn off as soon as the engine is started.
The indicator light illuminates to indicate that
some active safety systems have been partially or

Ú
page 129.
When the active safety systems are reactivated,
the indicator light turns off.
Tire Pressure Low Warning Light
The indicator light will illuminate 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.
In any situation in which the message on the
display is “See Manual”

Ú
page 142.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Warning 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.
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat
tires as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and
steering. If a tire puncture occurs, repair
immediately using the dedicated tire repair kit
and contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
22_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 72

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly underinflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if underinflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
Rear Fog Lights
The indicator illuminates when the rear
fog light is activated.
Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
In normal conditions, when the ignition
is cycled to ON, the indicator light
illuminates, but it should turn off as
soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the indicator light may be
checked by the traffic police using specific
devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of
the country where you are driving.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
traveling at moderate speed but without
demanding excessive effort from the engine or
high speed. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the
indicator light on constantly may cause damage.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) System
This indicator light informs the driver
that the frontal collision alarm function
is not enabled.
Drive carefully and contact an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
WARNING!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may
result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor
damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After
using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to an
authorized dealership to have your sensor
function checked.
CAUTION!
If, turning the ignition device to ON, the
warning light does not turn on or if it turns
on steadily or is flashing when traveling (on
some versions together with the message on
the display), contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.

Power Steering Failure
If the telltale remains on, you may not
have steering assistance and the effort
required to operate the steering wheel
may be increased; steering is, however,
possible.

NOTE:
After the battery is disconnected, the steering
wheel must be initialized. The Power Steering
Failure light on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate to indicate this. To carry out this procedure,
simply turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other, and then turn it back to the
central position.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning
Light
This warning light, along with the related
message, signals a failure in the ETC.
If a failure is detected, the warning light turns on
while the engine is running.
Place the gear selector in the PARK (P) position
and the ignition in the off position: the warning
light should switch off. If the warning light stays
on with engine running, the vehicle can still be
driven.
If the warning light 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.
Engine Coolant Temperature Too High
The telltale lights up when the engine
has overheated.
In normal driving conditions : stop the car, turn off
the engine and check that the coolant 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, fill 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. Contact an authorized dealer if the
telltale comes on when the engine is started
again.
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.
Hood Cap Not Properly Shut
The telltale turns on when the hood cap
is not properly closed, along with the
icon, an image of the vehicle with an
open hood cap appears on the display.
A buzzer is heard when the hood cap is open and
the vehicle is moving.
Close the hood properly.
Insufficient Engine Oil Level
The telltale turns on, along with the
related message on the display, to
indicate low engine oil level.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked.
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.

NOTE:
Do not use the vehicle until the failure has been
solved. The turning on of the telltale does not indi -
cate the amount of oil in the engine: the oil level
can be checked on the display upon entering the
vehicle and also by activating the “Oil level” func -
tion on the Information and Entertainment
System.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
If the LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE symbol
