EOBD engine
control system failure
Under normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after en-
gine start-up.
This indicates that the warning light is
working correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on during vehicle
travel, the following applies.
❒ Steady light: indicates a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, possible
reduced performances, poor drivabili-
ty and high fuel consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
In these conditions, the vehicle can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed with-
out demanding excessive effort from
the engine or high speeds. Prolonged
use of the vehicle with the warning light
on may cause damage. Go to a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the
fault is cleared, and the indication is
stored in the system.
❒ Flashing light: indicates the possibility of
damage to the catalyst (see “EOBD sys-
tem” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).
If the warning light flashes, release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at mod-
erate speed, trying to avoid driving con-
ditions that may cause further flashing
and contact the Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light
U does not light up
when the key is turned to
MAR or if, while travelling, the warning
light comes on either steady or blinking
(along with a message on the display).
The operation of the warning light
U
may be checked by the traffic police us-
ing specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are dri-
ving.
PARTICULAE FILTER
CLOGGED
(where provided)
(Multijet versions)
(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
turns on when the diesel particulate fil-
ter is clogged and the driving conditions
do not enable automatic activation of the
regeneration procedure.
To allow the regeneration procedure and
clean the filter, keep the vehicle running
until the warning light turns off.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.

FUEL RESERVE
(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 turns on when about 6
to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light flashes to
indicate a system failure. If this is the case,
go to a Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
