LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

ABS SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)

When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on and should go
off after a few seconds. The warning light
lights up when the system is either not
working or not available. In this case, the
braking system preserves its efficiency un-
altered without, however, offering the ex-
tra operating capacity of the ABS system.
Drive carefully and go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.

On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.

EBD SYSTEM
FAILURE
(red) (amber)

Simultaneous turning on of the warning
lights

x 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 Deal-
ership to have the system inspected.

On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.

ENGINE COOLANT
HIGH TEMPERATURE
(red)

When the ignition key is moved

to MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go off after a few seconds.

The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated.

If the warning light comes on, proceed as
follows:
❒ during normal travel: stop the ve-

hicle, stop the engine and check that the
water level in the vessel is not under
the MIN reference line. In this case, wait
for a few minutes for the engine to cool
down, then slowly and carefully open
the cap, top-up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN and
MAX references on the vessel itself. Al-
so check for leakages. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if the warning should come
on when the engine is started again.

❒ In demanding vehicle use condi-

tions (e.g. towing trailers uphill or ve-
hicle at full load): slow down and stop
the vehicle if the warning light stays on.
Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to
favour better coolant circulation. Then
stop the engine. Check correct liquid
level as described above.

IMPORTANT Under severe use of the ve-
hicle, keep the engine on and slightly ac-
celerated for a few minutes before switch-
ing it off. On certain versions the dedi-
cated message is displayed.

LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)

When the ignition key is moved

to MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go out as soon as the engine is
started (with the engine running at idle
speed a brief delay in going out is allowed).

If the warning light stays on glowing steadi-
ly, immediately contact the Fiat Dealer-
ship.

On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
