8 km/h with the parking brake applied.
115) 116)
Check engine warning lamp
This lamp is a part of an onboard diagnostic system which monitors the emissions, engine control
system or A/T control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these systems, this lamp illuminates or flashes. Although your vehicle
will usually be drivable and not need towing, we recommend you to have the system checked as soon
as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate when the ignition switch is turned “ON” or the operation mode is put in ON,
and goes off after the engine has started. If it does not go off after the engine has started, we
recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
The engine electronic control module accommodating the onboard diagnostic system has various fault
data (especially about the exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is disconnected which will make a rapid diagnosis difficult. Do
not disconnect a battery cable when the check engine warning lamp is ON.

53)
Oil pressure warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON, and the lamp goes off after the engine has started. If it illuminates while the engine is running,
the oil pressure is too low. If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is running, turn the engine off
and have it inspected.
The oil pressure warning lamp should not be treated as an indication of the engine’s oil level. The oil level
must be checked using the dipstick.

If the vehicle speed reaches approximately 8 km/h with a door open or incompletely closed, a buzzer
sounds 4 times as a warning.
57)
Washer fluid level warning lamp
This lamp comes on when the washer fluid is running low. If the lamp comes on, replenish the container
with washer fluid. Refer to “Washer fluid” and to “Refill capacities”.
103

Warning lamps What it means
SRS warning lamp
There is a supplemental restraint system (“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system
checks itself every time the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON. The SRS warning lamp will come on for several seconds and then go out. This is normal and
means the system is working properly.
If there is a problem involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning lamp will come on and
stay on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.
On vehicles equipped with the ERA-GLONASS, if the ERA-GLONASS system operates, the SRS
warning lamp illuminates.
58) 59)
ABS warning lamp (where provided)
If there is a malfunction in the system, the ABS warning lamp will come on. Under normal conditions, the
ABS warning lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation
mode is put in ON and goes off a few seconds later.
NOTE: On vehicles with the rear differential lock and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), the ESC and
ABS functions are suspended while the rear differential lock is activated. ESC indicator lamp, ESC OFF
indicator lamp and ABS warning lamp are illuminated while these functions are suspended. It does not
indicate a problem. When the rear differential lock is disengaged, these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to “ESC indicator lamp, ESC OFF indicator lamp”.
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates:
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few minutes driving; if it then
remains off during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the warning lamp do not disappear, or if they come on again when the vehicle is driven, we
recommend you to have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp illuminate at the same time:
The ABS and brake force distribution function may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle
unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.

WARNING
115)In the following situations, brake
performance may be compromised or the
vehicle may become unstable if brakes are
applied suddenly; consequently, avoid
driving at high speeds or applying the
brakes suddenly. Furthermore, immediately
the vehicle should be brought to a stop in a
safe location and we recommend you to
have it checked. 1 – The brake warning
lamp does not illuminate when the parking
brake is applied or does not turn off when
the parking brake is released.2–The
brake warning lamp and the ABS warning
lamp illuminate at the same time. For
details, refer to “ABS warning lamp”. 3 –
The brake warning lamp remains
illuminated while driving.
116)The vehicle should be brought to a
halt in the following manner when brake
performance has deteriorated. 1 – Depress
the brake pedal harder than usual. Even if
the brake pedal moves down to the very
end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed
down hard. 2 – Should the brakes fail, use
engine braking to reduce your speed and
carefully pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.
IMPORTANT
46)This warning lightwill flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle can
be used as normal, but a Fiat Dealership
must be contacted as soon as possible.
47)If the diesel preheat indicator lamp
comes on after the engine is started, the
engine speed may not rise above the idling
speed because of fuel freezing. In this case,
keep the engine idling for about
10 minutes, then turn off the ignition switch
or put in OFF the operation mode, and
immediately turn it on or put in ON again to
confirm that the diesel preheat indicator
lamp is off.
48)When this indicator lamp blinks,
electronic stability control function or active
traction control function is operating, which
means that the road is slippery or that your
vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip. If this
happens, drive slower with less accelerator
input.49)If an abnormal condition occurs in the
system while driving, the
indicator lamp
will illuminate. In these cases, follow these
procedures:1–Ifthetemperature in the
braking system continues to increase due
to continuous brake control on a slippery
road surface, the
indicator lamp will
blink, and operation of the active traction
control function will be suspended to
protect the brake system (the engine
control of the traction control function and
normal brake operation will not be
affected.) Park your vehicle in a safe place.
When the temperature in the braking
system has come down, the indicator lamp
will go off and the electronic stability control
function and active traction control function
will start operating again.2–Ifthe
indicator lamp does not go out even
through the above procedure is followed,
there could be a problem in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine again
and check whether the
indicator lamp
goes out. If the indicator lamp goes out,
there is no abnormal condition.3–Ifthe
indicator lamp illuminates even after
your vehicle is driven a short distance after
re-starting the engine, we recommend you
to have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
50)Prolonged driving with this lamp on
may cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
51)If the lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in
ON, we recommend you to have the
system checked.
