What it means What to do
“COMFORT-MATIC" GEARBOX FAILURE
The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light in the panel comes on flashing
(together with a message in the reconfigurable
multifunction display and a buzzer) to indicate that the
gearbox is faulty.If the transmission is faulty, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system checked.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is
overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off
the engine and check that the water 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, top up 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. If,
when restarting, the warning light switches on again,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
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. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running and slightly
accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation.
Then stop the engine. Check that the coolant level is
correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.

What it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light
comes on, but should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with
the message in the display when the system detects
that the engine oil pressure is insufficient.
8)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a
message on the display (for versions/markets, where
provided) when the system detects that the engine oil
has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the
vehicle is faulty, but simply informs the driver that it is
now necessary to change the engine oil as a result of
regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, warning
light
will also come on and engine operation is
limited to 3000 rpm when a second threshold is
reached.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration
threshold is reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm
to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
45) 46)
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is
accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent
– use of the vehicle for short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

What it means What to do
redINCOMPLETE DOOR/LOAD COMPARTMENT
CLOSURE
On certain versions the warning light switches on

warning light on the dial turns on, but it should turn off
after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on together with the message
shown on the display and a buzzer, the power steering
is ineffective and the effort on the steering wheel
increases significantly even though the vehicle can be

WARNING
43)If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the
display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident
or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
44)A failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light flashing or, depending on the version, by theicon turning on
continuously on the display. In this case, thewarning light may not indicate a possible problem with the airbag restraint system. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
45)If the
warning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km from
the first switching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty.
Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top
up the engine oil.
46)If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.

where you are driving.9)
If the warning light stays on or switches on when
driving, it means that the injection system is not
working properly; in particular, if the warning light
comes on constantly, this indicates a malfunction in
the supply/ignition system that could cause excessive
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance,
poor driveability and high fuel consumption.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction
disappears, but is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the
vehicle with the warning light on may cause damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

indicators, trailer side lights)The failure relating to these lights could be: one or
more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a break
in the electrical connection.
Airbag warning light failure (generic failure warning
light flashing)In this case, the warning light may not indicate
problems with the restraint systems. Before

What it means What to do
amberDPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING UNDERWAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to inform the
driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate the
trapped pollutants (particulate) through the
regeneration process.
A specific message will appear on the display when
the warning light comes on (for versions/markets,
where provided).The warning light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
that the driver is notified. The warning light will go off if
the vehicle stays in motion until regeneration has been
completed. On average, the process lasts 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 there is a vehicle defect, so there is no
need to take it to a garage.
