WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
GENERAL WARNINGS
The warning light switches on together with a
dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are concise and
precautionary and, as such, must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or an alternative to the
information contained in this 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 Failure indications displayed are divided
into two categories: very serious and less serious
failures.
Very serious failures are indicated by a repeated
and prolonged warning “cycle”.
Less serious failures are indicated by a shorter
warning “cycle”.
The displaying cycle of both failure categories can be
stopped by pressing the button
. The control
panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the
malfunction is eliminated.
BRAKE FLUID LOW (red) /
HANDBRAKE ENGAGED (red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position illuminates
the warning light, 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 due to a possible leak in the circuit. On some
versions the display shows the dedicated message.
WARNING
If the warning light switches on while
driving, stop immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
When the key is turned to MAR position, the
warning light switches on but should switch off after
a few seconds.
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches
on when the handbrake is engaged. If the car is
moving the buzzer will also sound.
