Warning light ucomes on when the
coolant is too hot.
Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.
FUEL GAUGE
The instrument shows the level of fu-
el in the tank.
The reserve warning light Kwill light
up to indicate that there are approxi-
mately 5÷8 litres of fuel level left in the
tank and that refuelling is needed as
soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

A– button for opening the main menu
B– buttons for surfing the main menu REV COUNTER
If the needle is in the red zone, it
shows your vehicle is overrevving.
This is only acceptable for a few mo-
ments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic in-
jection control system cuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving”. This will lead to a loss of en-
gine power.
When the engine is running idle, the
revolution counter can indicate a
gradual or sudden revolution in-
crease. This is normal and should not
worry you, since it usually happens
during normal operations, such as the
climate system activation or the fan
activation. In particular, a slow revo-
lution variation is needed to preserve
the battery charge.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should hov-
er around the middle of the scale. If
it approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.C– button for confirming the se-

metres to be reached before carrying
out the next maintenance operation
and then displays the engine oil level
in the engine sump for a limited time.
Fig. 81shows the correct oil level
condition. Flashing of the wording
“OIL”, together with the sound of the
buzzer and the dedicated message in-
dicate low engine oil level. Flashing of

WARNING LIGHTS
IMPORTANTWhen a malfunction
warning lamp lights up, the related
message can be viewed on the display
and two or more sound warnings
(“gong”) are emitted.
The indicator and warning lights
come on in the following circum-

OIL PRESSURE TOO
LOW (Red)
The light comes on when
you turn the ignition key to M, but it
should go out when the engine starts.
A delay in the light going out is ac-
ceptable only when the engine is idling.
If the engine has been taxed heavily,
the light may flash when idling. It

If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
fixed light- warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which may
increase emissions in exhaust or cause
possible drops in performance, poor
handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warning
light on can cause damage. Contact a
Fiat Dealershipas soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the fault
disappears but it is however stored by
the system.
flashing(only petrol versions) -
warning that the catalyser can be dam-
aged (see “EOBD system” in this chap-
ter).
If the warning light starts flashing, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing. Continue driving at moderate
speed, preventing the warning light
from coming on again. Contact a Fi-
at Dealershipas soon as possible. AIR BAG
MALFUNCTION
(Amber)
When the system is inefficient.
When you turn the ignition key to
the Mposition the light comes on. It
should, however, go out after about
4 seconds.
¬
Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the warning light either
does not come on when the key
is turned to M or comes on, with
fixed or flashing light, when trav-
elling.
If the warning light ¬
does not turn on when
turning the ignition key to
M or if it stays on when travelling,
this could indicate a failure in safe-
ty retaining systems; under this
condition air bags or pretension-
ers could not trigger in the event
of collision or, in a restricted num-
ber of cases, they could trigger ac-
cidentally. Stop the car and con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the
system checked immediately.
FRONT PASSENGER
AIR BAG
DEACTIVATED
(Amber)
With the front passenger air bag ac-
tivated, the light comes on when you
turn the ignition key to M, but it
should go out after about 4 seconds.
Warning light
“indi-
cates also warning light
¬
failure. This is indicated
by intermittent flashing, over 4
seconds, of warning light
“. In
this event, warning light
¬could
be not up to indicate restraint
system failures, if any. Stop the
car and contact Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
