WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
GENERAL WARNINGS
Warning lights are accompanied by a specific message
and/or sound 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 limited
"warning" cycle.
The warning cycle of both failure categories can be
stopped by pressing the button MODE. The
instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
BRAKE FLUID LOW (red) /
HANDBRAKE ENGAGED (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON position
the warning light comes on but should go out after a
few seconds.
LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
The warning light comes 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 turns on when
travelling (on certain versions together
with the message on the display) stop the
vehicle immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
HANDBRAKE APPLIED
The warning light turns on when the handbrake is
engaged.
