Brake Disc Temperature
When the symbol turns on, it indicates
an excessive temperature of the brake
discs. Let the breaking system cool
down by reducing the speed.
Driver Attention Assist (DAA) System
Activation — If Equpped
The DAA system detects indications that
the driver is feeling fatigued and
illuminates this warning that the driver
should pull over and take a break.
Stop to pause while driving, pulling the car over in
safe conditions.
Door Open
The telltale turns on when one or more
doors are not completely shut. An
acoustic signal is activated with the
doors open and the car moving.
Close the doors properly.
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 re-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 previously.
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.

CAUTION!
Driving the vehicle with this symbol on may
severely damage the gearbox, with resulting
breakage. The oil may also overheat: contact
with hot engine or with exhaust components
at high temperature could cause fires.
