INDICATION
(amber)
Inertial fuel cut-off switch
intervened
The warning light (or the symbol on dis-
play) comes on when the inertial fuel cut-
off switch is triggered.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on when a fault is detected
to engine oil pressure sensor.
Twilight sensor failure
The warning light (or the symbol on dis-
play) turns on when a fault is detected to
the twilight sensor.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
Speed limit exceeded
(only for Arabic countries)
The warning light (amber), or symbol on
the display (red), comes on when a speed
of 120 km/h is exceeded.
è
CLEANING DPF
(PARTICULATE
FILTER) IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions
with DPF - amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the warning light switches on but it must
switch off after a few seconds. The warn-
ing light comes on constantly to notify the
driver that the DPF system needs to elim-
inate captured pollutants (particulate) by
the regeneration process. The warning
light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving con-
ditions require notification of the driver.
To switch the warning light off, the car
must stay in motion until regeneration has
been completed. The process normally
takes about 15 minutes. The optimum con-
ditions to end the process are achieved by
keeping the car in motion up to 60km/h
with an engine speed higher than 2,000
rpm.
This light coming on is not a car defect and
therefore the car does not need to go to
the workshop.
A specific message will appear on the dis-
play when the warning light comes on (for
versions/markets, where provided).
h
Rain sensor failure
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) on the dial turns on when the rain
sensor is faulty. Contact Fiat Dealership.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
Parking sensors failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) when a fault is detected to park-
ing sensors.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on when a failure is detect-
ed in the T.P.M.S. system (for versions/
markets, where provided).
Should one or more wheels without sen-
sor be fitted, the instrument panel warn-
ing light will come on and stay on until
restoring initial conditions.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
NOTE When one of the above faults oc-
curs, contact your Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.

EOBD/INJECTION
SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
Under normal conditions, turning
the ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on, but it should go off when the en-
gine has started.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, means a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause high
emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of
performance, poor handling and high con-
sumption levels.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the en-
gine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damages. Con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light turns off if the fault dis-
appears, but it is still stored by the system.
U
If, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light U
does not turn on or if it turns
on glowing steadily or flash-
ing when travelling (on certain ver-
sions together with the message on
the display), contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible. Warning light U
operation can be checked by traffic
agents by proper equipment. Com-
ply with laws and regulations of the
country where you are driving.
Petrol engines only
Warning light turning on flashing indicates
the possibility of damage to the catalyst.
If the light flashes, it is necessary to release
the accelerator pedal to lower the speed
of the engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at moder-
ate speed, trying to avoid driving condi-
tions that may cause further flashing and
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light turns on,
but it should go off after few seconds. The
warning light turns on when about 8 litres
fuel are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light flashes to
indicate a failure, contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system
checked.
ç
Always drive at a speed ap-
propriate to the traffic
conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine may be turned
off while the DPF light is on; how-
ever, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in
premature exhaustion of engine oil.
For this reason it is always advisable
to wait for the light to go off before
turning off the engine, following the
instructions appearing above. It is
not advisable to complete DPF re-
generation with the vehicle sta-
tionary.

❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒light system operation (headlights, di-
rection indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒windscreen wiper/washer operation

peated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;

carry out the following checks more fre-
quently than required in the Service
Schedule:
