SYSTEM FAULT - FIAT
CODE (amber)
Turning the key to MAR, the
warning light flashes once and then goes
off.
If the warning light stays on with the igni-
tion key positioned on MAR, a failure may
have occurred (see “Fiat Code system” in
section “Dashboard and controls”).
IMPORTANT Simultaneous turning on of
the warning lights U and
Y
indicates a
failure in the Fiat CODE system.
If the warning light Y flashes with the en-
gine running, the car is not protected by
the engine inhibitor device (see “Fiat Code
system” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).
Contact Fiat Dealership to have all the
keys stored.
Y
REAR FOG LIGHTS
(amber)
The warning light comes on
when the fog lights are turned
on.

The presence of water in the
supply circuit may cause se-
vere damage to the injection
system and irregular engine
operation. If the warning light c goes
on (with the message on the display on
some versions), go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to remove clogging
from the system. Whenever the warn-
ing light comes on immediately after
refuelling, water may have been intro-
duced in the tank. In this case, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
