In normal conditions, turning the
ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on, but it should go off when the en-
gine has started. The initial turning on in-
dicates that the warning light is working
properly. If the warning light stays on or
turns on when travelling:
❒glowing steadily: means a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, possible
lack of performance, poor handling and
high consumption levels.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the en-
gine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damages. Con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
