LOW BATTERY CHARGE (red)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the warning
light switches on but should switch off as soon as
the engine is started (with the engine idling, a brief
delay can be expected).
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a message
and a symbol on the display) remains on constantly
or flashing, contact a Fiat Dealership.

CONTINUOUSLY ON: LOW
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE (red)

ON FLASHING: ENGINE OIL
DETERIORATED
(only Diesel versions with DPF - red)

When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the warning
light switches on but should switch off as soon as
the engine is started.

1. Insufficient engine oil pressure

The warning light switches on constantly together
(for versions/markets, where provided) with a
message on the display when the system detects that
the engine oil pressure is too low.

WARNING

If the warning light

turns on whilst

driving (on certain versions together

with the message on the display) stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

2. Engine oil deteriorated
(only Diesel versions with DPF)

The warning light will flash and a dedicated message
will appear on the display (for versions/markets,
where provided).
The warning light may flash in the following ways,
depending on the version:
❒ 1 minute every two hours;
❒ cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning

light off for 5 seconds until the oil is changed.

After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
warning light will continue flashing as described
above until the oil is changed. On some versions, the
display shows a dedicated message together with
the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be
considered as a fault, it simply informs the customer
that the oil needs to be changed following normal car
use.
