EBD FAILURE (red) (amber)
Simultaneous switching on of warning lights and
while the engine is running indicates an EBD
system failure or non-availability of the system. Early
locking of the rear wheels may occur in the event
of violent braking causing the vehicle to swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have the
system inspected.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.

comes on, but should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
1. Engine oil pressure low
The warning light turns on and stays on constantly
along with a message on the display (for versions/
markets where provided) when the system detects
that engine oil pressure is low.
WARNING
If the warning light turns on when
the vehicle is travelling (on certain
versions together with the message on the
display) stop the engine immediately and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
2. Engine oil exhausted
(Multijet versions with DPF only)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with
the message on the display (for versions/markets
where provided). Depending on the versions, the
warning light flashing modes are as follows:
❒ 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. For (versions/markets
where provided), 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.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is
accelerated by:
❒ mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF
