WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic warning.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. In the event of a failure
indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT The failure indicators appearing on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious faults.
Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning
"cycle" with a shorter duration. Press the
SETbutton to stop the warning cycle in both cases. The warning light (or the
symbol on the display) on the instrument panel will stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.
WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL
Red warning lights
What it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is turned
to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
34)
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the handbrake is
engaged.
On some versions, an acoustic tone accompanies the
warning light when the vehicle is moving.If the warning light comes on while driving, check that
the handbrake is not on.
Release the handbrake, then check that the warning
light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

What it means What to do
red
amber
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights with the
engine on indicates either an anomaly of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this case,
the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle
may swerve when braking sharply.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately.
redAIR BAG FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a failure
in the airbag system.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.

What it means What to do
redSEAT BELTS REMINDER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's side or passenger
side seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided)
not fastened.
The warning light will flash and a buzzer will sound if
the driver seat belt and the passenger seat belt (for
versions/markets, where provided) are not correctly
fastened with the vehicle in motion.The buzzer of the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system
can only be disabled by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions, the system may be reactivated
using the Setup menu.
redGEARBOX FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light flashes (together with a message in
the display and an acoustic signal) to indicate that the
gearbox is faulty.
The warning light can switch on even in the case of
transmission overheating, after a particularly
demanding use. In this case an engine performance
limitation is carried out.If the transmission is faulty, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system checked.

What it means What to do
red
redENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch 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 a few minutes to allow the engine to cool down,
then slowly and carefully open the cap. Top up with
coolant fluid making sure that it is included between
the MIN and MAX lines on the vessel. 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.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if
the 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 On demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before stopping it.
redLOW BATTERY CHARGE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine has started (with the engine idling a brief delay
before switching off is acceptable).
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.

What it means What to do
redINSUFFICIENT ENGINE OIL PRESSURE/ENGINE OIL
DETERIORATED
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light
comes on, but should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
Steady light: Low engine oil pressure
The warning light comes on fixed, together with a
message on the display (for versions/markets, where
provided) when the system detects insufficient engine
oil pressure.
37)
On blinking: Engine oil degraded
(for Multijet versions 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.
9)
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.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

What it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning
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.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.Restore the correct engine oil level (see “Checking fluid
levels” in the "Servicing and care" section).
redDOOR OPEN
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when
one or more doors or the boot are not properly closed.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Check that all doors or the boot (for versions/markets,
where provided) are perfectly closed.
redPOWER STEERING FAILURE
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the
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
steered.Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
34)If thewarning light turns on while driving (on certain versions together with the message on the display) stop the car immediately and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
35)The warning light
may not light up when the key is turned to MAR or stay on while travelling to indicate a retaining system fault. In this
case, the airbags or the pretensioners may not be activated in the case of an accident or (in a lesser number of cases) they may be activated
incorrectly. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
