GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

PASSENGER SIDE
AIRBAG OFF
(amber)

The warning light will come on when

the passenger side airbag is switched
off.

The light will flash when the engine

is started: this signals the airbag is be-
ing activated and not a fault.

Warning light F indi-

cates also warning light

¬ failure. This is indi-

cated by intermittent flashing,
over 4 seconds, of warning light

F. In this event, warning light

¬ could be not up to indicate re-

straint system failures, if any.
Stop the car and contact Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.

1. Fixed light - warning of a fuel

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 warn-
ing light on can cause damage. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.

The warning light will go out when

the failure disappears. In any case, the
system will store the error.

2. Flashing - warning that the catal-

yser can be damaged (see

EOBD SYSTEM

in this chapter).

If the warning light starts flashing, re-

lease the accelerator pedal and slow
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing. Continue driving at moderate
speed, preventing the warning light
from coming on again. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.

comes on while travelling:
