AND MESSAGES
GENERAL WARNINGS
Turning on of warning light and/or symbol
is accompanied by specific message and/or
by buzzer sound where provided by in-
strument panel. These indications are
concise and cautionary and shall not be
considered as exhaustive and/or as an al-
ternative to the specifications contained
in this Owner Handbook which shall al-
ways be read through carefully and thor-
oughly. In case of failure indication always
refer to the specifications contained
in this section.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed
are divided into two categories: very se-
rious 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 classes
can be stopped by pressing button
MODE. The warning light (or symbol on
the display) will stay on until eliminating
the fault.
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is on.
If the car is moving, a buzzer will also
sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on
when travelling, check that the handbrake
is not engaged.
LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
Turning the ignition key to MAR the
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level, due to possi-
ble leak in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
BRAKE PAD
WEAR (amber)
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on if the front brake pads
are worn; in this case have them changed
as soon as possible.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
IMPORTANT Since the car is fitted with
wear sensors for the front brake pads,
when changing them, check also the rear
brake pads.

If the x warning light
turns on when travelling
(together with the message on the
