OVERHEATED ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light turns on but should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark. If it is not, wait for a few
minutes for the engine to cool down then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks. Al-
so visually check for leaks. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
the warning light comes on again when the engine is
next started.
❒if the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and,
if the light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or
three minutes with the engine running and slightly ac-
celerated to assist better coolant circulation. Then
switch the engine off. Check the correct fluid level as
described previously.
ç
IMPORTANT On demanding routes, it is advisable to keep
the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes
before switching it off.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
BATTERY CHARGE LOW (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as
soon as the engine has started (with the engine run-
ning at idle speed a brief delay before going out is accept-
able).
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership im-
mediately.
w

HILL HOLDER FAILURE (amber)
(for versions/markets where provided)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates
the warning light, but it will switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on to indicate a Hill Holder sys-
tem fault. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. On some versions, the fault is signalled by
warning light ácoming on together with the relevant mes-
sage on the display.
*
ABS SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light turns on but should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light comes on when the system is either not
working properly or not available. Under these circum-
stances, the braking system will work as normal but with-
out the extra performance offered by the ABS system. Dri-
ve carefully and go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

ENGINE OIL DEGRADED
(only Multijet versions with DPF – red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on, but it should go out as soon as the engine is
started.

If the warning light vturns on when the
car is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display), stop the
car immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
2. Engine oil degraded
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will ap-
pear on the display (for versions/markets where provid-
ed). The warning light may flash in the following ways, de-
pending on the version:
– for one minute every two hours;
– for three minute cycles with the warning light off for
intervals of five seconds until oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started
up, the warning light will continue to flash in the same ways
as described above, until the oil is changed. A specific mes-
sage will appear on the display (for versions/markets where
provided) in addition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the ve-
hicle is defective, but simply informs the driver that it is
now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular ve-
hicle use.
Note that engine oil degrades faster under the following
circumstances:
– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent
– use of the vehicle for short journies, preventing the en-
gine from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process, sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km after it
first comes on. Failure to change the oil within the
first 500 km may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember
that when the warning light comes on, it does not
mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if the
light flashes you do not need to top up the engine
oil.
WARNING
SEAT BELT NOT FASTENED (red)
The warning light on the panel comes on steadi-
ly when the vehicle is stationary and the driver’s
seat belt is not correctly fastened. It will flash, and
be accompanied by an audible warning, if the front seat belts
are not correctly fastened when the vehicle is moving.
The SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system’s audible warning
can be disabled only by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions, the system can be reactivated from the
setup menu.
<
DOOR OPEN (red)
On certain versions, the warning light turns on
when one or more doors, the boot or the bon-
net are not properly closed.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
You will hear a warning sound if a door is open and the
vehicle is moving.
ENGINE OIL LOW
(red)
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on but it should go off after a few
seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the engine
oil level falls below the minimum recommended value. Re-
store the correct engine oil level (see “Checking fluid lev-
els” in the “Servicing and maintenance” section).
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue trav-
elling at moderate speed without demanding excessive
effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the vehicle
with the warning light on may cause damage. Go to a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault disappears,
but the notification is stored in the system.
❒flashing: this indicates possible damage to the catalytic
converter (see “EOBD system” in the “Dashboard and
controls” section).
If the light flashes, come off the accelerator pedal to re-
duce engine revs until the warning light stops flashing;
continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further flashing, and
get to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE
(Multijet versions – amber)
EOBD ENGINE MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM FAILURE
(petrol versions – amber)
Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to MAR,
the warning light turns on but it should go off after the en-
gine starts. If the warning light stays on or comes on when
travelling, it means there is a fault in the injection system
which could cause loss of performance, poor handling and
high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue travel-
ling at moderate speed without demanding excessive ef-
fort from the engine. In any case, you should go to a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
EOBD engine management system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to MAR,
the warning light turns on but it should go off after the en-
gine starts.
This indicates that the warning light is working correctly.
If the warning light either stays on or comes on during
your journey:
❒on permanently: this means there is a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause high exhaust
emissions, loss of performance, poor handling and high
fuel consumption levels.
U
Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble if warning light
Udoes not light up
when the key is turned to MAR or if, while
travelling, the warning light comes on either per-
manently or flashing (along with a message on the
display on certain versions). The operation of the
Uwarning light may be checked by traffic police
using appropriate equipment. Respect the regula-
tions in force in the country where you are driving.

FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light turns on but should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on when 8-10 litres of fuel are
left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light will blink to indicate a sys-
tem failure. If this happens, go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked. DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions with DPF
– amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light
turns on but should go off after a few seconds. The warn-
ing light stays on constantly to notify the driver that the
DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants (par-
ticulate) by the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving conditions require no-
tification to the driver.
The warning light will go off if the vehicle stays in motion
until regeneration has been completed. The process nor-
mally takes about 15 minutes. Optimum conditions for
completing the process are achieved by travelling at
60 km/h with engine revs above 2000 rpm.
If this warning light comes on, it does not mean the vehi-
cle is defective, so there is no need to take it to a garage.
A specific message will appear on the display when the
warning light comes on (for versions/markets where pro-
vided).
h
ç
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine may be turned off while the DPF
light is on; however, repeated interruption of the re-
generation process may result in premature degra-
dation of the engine oil. For this reason, it is always
advisable to wait for the light to go off before turn-
ing off the engine, following the instructions ap-
pearing above. It is recommended to complete DPF
regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
