feed/ignition system failure which may
increase emissions in exhaust or cause
possible drops in performance, poor
handling and high consumption.
In such conditions, you can continue
driving but you should not tax the en-
gine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warning
light on can cause damage. Contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the fault
disappears but it is however stored by
the system.

warning that the catalyser can be dam-
aged (see “EOBD system” in this chap-
ter).
If the warning light starts flashing, re-
lease the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine until the warning light stops

is turned to M or comes on, with
fixed or flashing light, when trav-
