LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
AIR BAG FAILURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to
MAR the warning light turns on, but it
should go off after few seconds.
The warning light stays on steady if there
is a failure in the airbag system.
On certain versions the dedicated message
is displayed.
¬
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light
¬
does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the message
on the multifunctional display, where
provided) there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners may not be deployed
in case of impact or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they be deployed acci-
dentally. Contact Fiat Dealership im-
mediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
Failure of warning light ¬
(warning light off) is indicat-
ed by warning light F which will
blink for longer than the normal 4
seconds indicating that the front pas-
senger airbag is off.
WARNING
HOT ENGINE
COOLANT (red)
Turning the ignition key to
MAR the warning light turns on, but it
should go off after 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 car,
stop the engine and check that the wa-
ter level in the vessel is not under the
MIN line. In this case, wait for a few
minutes for the engine to cool down
when 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.
Also check for leakages. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if the warning should come
on when the engine is started again.
