Brake booster vacuum low

The warning light switches on in the event of brake

servo failure; in this case the pedal can become stiff

while braking.

This failure in the brake servo does not affect the

braking efficiency of the system, but the power assisted

steering is reduced. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have

the vehicle checked.
WARNING
The brake system uses an electric pump to increase

the brake servo vacuum. In certain driving situations,

the device operation could be felt, but this condition IS

PART OF THE STANDARD SYSTEM OPERATION.

(amber) and

(amber) warning lights (for

versions/markets, where provided), with the engine on,

indicates either a failure of the EBD system or that the

system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels

may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when

braking sharply.

The display shows the dedicated message.

Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to

have the system inspected immediately.

Warning lights on panel

What it means

What to do

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH

The warning light switches on when the ignition key

is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few

seconds. The warning light turns on when the engine

is overheated.

The display shows the dedicated message.

In normal driving conditions: stop the vehicle, switch

off the engine and check that the water level in the

reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait

for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully

open the cap, top up with coolant and check that

the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the

reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks.

If, when restarting, the warning light switches on

again, contact a Fiat Dealership. If the vehicle is used

under demanding conditions (e.g. in high-performance

driving): slow down and, if the warning light stays on,

stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine

running and slightly accelerated to further favour the

coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check that

the coolant level is correct as described above.
WARNING
Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the

engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes

before switching it off.

red

LOW BATTERY CHARGE

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is

turned to MAR, but it should switch off as soon as the

engine has started (with the engine idling a brief delay

before switching off is acceptable).

If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership

immediately.

red

LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE

When the key is turned to MAR, the digital warning

light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as

the engine is started.

ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED

(MultiJet versions with DPF only)

The warning light starts to flash together with a

message on the display (for versions/markets, where

provided) when the system detects that the engine oil

has deteriorated.

If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the

vehicle is faulty, but simply informs the driver that it is

now necessary to change the engine oil as a result of

regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, warning
light

will also come on and engine operation is

limited to 3000 rpm when a second threshold is

reached.

If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration

threshold is reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm

to avoid damage.

Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

46) 47)

Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is

accelerated by:

– mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF

regeneration process more frequent

– use of the vehicle for short trips, preventing the

engine from reaching operating temperature

– repeated interruption of the regeneration process,

signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.

red

LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL

When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning

light turns on but it should go off after a few seconds.

This warning light appears on the panel when the

engine oil level falls below the minimum recommended

value.

On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.

Restore the correct engine oil level (see "Checking fluid

levels" in the "Servicing and maintenance" section).

red

DOORS OPEN

On some versions the warning light turns on when

one or more doors or the rear swing doors/tailgate

(for versions/market, where provided) are not properly

closed.

A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and

the vehicle is moving.

Check that all doors or the swing doors/tailgate (for

versions/markets, where provided) are perfectly closed.

WARNING

43)

If the warning light

turns on when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display) stop the vehicle immediately

and contact Fiat Dealership.

44)

If the

warning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on while driving (together with the message on

the display), there may be an anomaly in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of

an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system

checked immediately.
45)

A failure of the

warning light is indicated by the blinking

warning light. In this case, the

warning light may not indicate a possible

problem with the airbag restraint system. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
46)

Degraded engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the warning light

comes on, and never more than 500 km after it

first comes on. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that when this

warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top up the engine oil.
47)

If the

warning light flashes while driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT

15)

If the

warning light switches on while driving, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

EOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE

In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned

to MAR the warning light switches on, but it should

switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the

warning light may be checked

by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply

with the laws and regulations of the country where you

are driving.

16)

If the warning light stays on or switches on when

driving, it means that the injection system is not

working properly; in particular, if the warning light

comes on constantly, this indicates a malfunction in

the supply/ignition system that could cause excessive

exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance,

poor driveability and high fuel consumption.

On some versions the display shows the dedicated

message. The warning light switches off if the

malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the

system.

Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue

travelling at moderate speed without demanding

excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the

car with the warning light on constantly may cause

damage.

Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

NOTE

(petrol engines only)

If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic

converter may be damaged.

In this case, it is necessary to release the accelerator

pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning

light stops flashing. Continue the journey at moderate

speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause

further flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon

as possible.
