ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION
CENTER (EVIC) DISPLAYS
The EVIC display consists of three sections:
1. The top line where compass direction, odometerline and outside temperature are displayed.
2. The main display area where the menus and pop up messages are displayed.
3. The reconfigurable telltales section below the odometer line.
The main display area will normally display the main
menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main
menu. The main display area also displays "pop up"
messages that consist of approximately 60 possible
warning or information messages. These pop up mes-
sages fall into several categories:
• Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most
of the messages of this type are then stored (as long as
the condition that activated it remains active) and can
be reviewed from the "Messages" main menu item. As
long as there is a stored message, an "i" will be displayed
in the EVIC's compass/outside temp line. Examples of
this message type are "Right Front Turn Signal Lamp
Out" and "Low Tire Pressure". • Unstored Messages
This message type is displayed indefinitely or until the
condition that activated the message is cleared. Ex-
amples of this message type are "Turn Signal On" (if a
turn signal is left on) and "Lights On" (if driver leaves
the vehicle).
• Unstored Messages Until RUN
This message type is displayed until the ignition is in the
RUN state. Example of this message type is "Press
Brake Pedal and Push Button to Start".
• Five Second Unstored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen.
Examples of this message type are "Memory System
Unavailable - Not in Park" and "Automatic High Beams
On".
The Reconfigurable Telltales section is divided into the
white telltales area on the right, amber telltales in the
middle, and red telltales on the left.
When the appropriate conditions exist, the EVIC dis-
plays the following messages:
Turn Signal On (with a continuous warning chime if the
vehicle is driven more than 1.6 km with either turn
signal on)

minutes, you can remedy the condition in the particu-
late filter system by allowing the trapped PM to be

• Electronic Stability Control OFF (ESC OFF) Indi-
cator LightThis light indicates the Electronic Stability
Control system (ESC) has been turned off by
the driver.
EVIC RED TELLTALE LIGHTS
This area will show reconfigurable red telltales. These
telltales include:
• Door Ajar This light will turn on to indicate that one or
more doors may be ajar.
• Oil Pressure Warning Light This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the
light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when this light turns on.
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.
This light does not show how much oil is in the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked under the hood. • Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the electrical
charging system. The light should come on when
the ignition is first cycled ON and remain on briefly as
a bulb check. If the light stays on or comes on while
driving, turn off some of the vehicle's non-essential
electrical devices or increase engine speed (if at idle). If
the charging system light remains on, it means that the
vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging
system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an autho-
rized dealer.
If jump starting is required, refer to “Jump Starting
Procedures” in “In An Emergency”.
• Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
The light will come on when the ignition is
first turned ON and remain on briefly as a
bulb check. If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.

If a problem is detected, the light will come on while
the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the
vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is
placed in the PARK position (for versions/markets,
where provided). The light should turn off.
If the light remains lit with the engine running, your
vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see an autho-
rized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light
is flashing when the engine is running, immediate ser-
vice is required. You may experience reduced perfor-
mance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing.
• Engine Temperature Warning LightThis light warns of an overheated engine condi-
tion. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap-
proaches H,this indicator will illuminate and a
single chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge
to pass H,a continuous chime will occur until the
engine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and
stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off.
Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the
vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for
service. • Transmission Temperature Warning Light (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This light indicates that the transmission fluid
temperature is running hot. This may occur
with severe usage, such as trailer towing. If
this light turns on, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. Then, shift the transmission into NEU-
TRAL and run the engine at idle or faster until the light
turns off.
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated
will eventually cause severe transmission
damage or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle
wh en

the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light is illuminated you could cause the
fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot engine
or exhaust components and cause a fire.

indicator system. The “Oil Change Due” message will
be in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds

To turn off the message temporarily, press and release
the BACK button. To reset the oil change indicator
system please refer to a Fiat Dealership.
