warning light FIAT 500E 2015 2.G Owner's Manual

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
two 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.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied.It does not show the degree of
brake application.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous.Part of the brake system
may have failed.It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision.Have
the vehicle checked immediately.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
•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 Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure.Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
•IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
•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 under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
61

•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 ap-
proximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will con-
tinue 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 sig-
nal 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 pre-
vent 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.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS pres-
sures 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.Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction
Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position.If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.If this light remains on, see your au-
thorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
•The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
•Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it
was turned off previously.
•ESC Activation/Malfunction Light can blink during a ESC or TC intervention.
