FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 136)

PLUG PREHEATING/PLUG
PREHEATING FAILURE (diesel
versions) (amber)
PLUG PREHEATING
The warning light switches on when the key is turned
to MAR and switches off when the plugs have
reached the preset temperature. The engine can be
started as soon as the warning light switches off.
IMPORTANT At moderate or high ambient
temperatures the warning light may stay on for an
extremely short time.
PLUG PREHEATING FAILURE
The warning light flashes (together with a message
and a symbol on the display on some versions)
to indicate a fault in the plug preheating system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the fault fixed as
soon as possible.
"DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
This warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. If the warning light (or, on some versions, a
message and a symbol on the display) stays on, you
may not have steering assistance and the effort
required to operate the steering wheel could be
notably increased; steering is, however, possible. In
this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately
(should it be in motion), stop the engine for about
20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the
warning light (or, on some versions, a message and a
symbol on the display) stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the
steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way
from one end to the other or drive in a straight line
for about a hundred metres.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
This warning light switches on when the ignition key
is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a
few seconds. The warning light (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) switches on constantly to notify the driver
that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.
