SERVICE INDICATOR
Scheduled Servicing provides vehicle
servicing every 30.000/20.000/15.000
kilometres or once a year. For Coun-
tries / markets where applicable,
Scheduled Servicing provides vehicle
servicing every 18.600 / 12.500 / 9.300
miles (instead of kilometres) or once
a year.
This indication will be displayed au-
tomatically when turning the ignition
key to MAR, through servicing indica-
tor 1-fig. 43or 1-fig.44and through
kilometre indicator 2-fig. 43or daily

WARNING LIGHTS
The warning lights come on in the
following circumstances:
BATTERY NOT
RECHARGING
PROPERLY (red)
When there is a fault in the current
generating system. The light comes on
when you turn the ignition key to
MARand should go out as soon as
the engine starts.
A delay in the light going out is ac-
ceptable only when the engine is idling.
Contact a Fiat Dealershipas soon
as possible to prevent draining the bat-
tery.
w
IMPORTANTYou should contact
a Fiat Dealershipas soon as prob-
lems arise without waiting for the next
service deadline.
At next startings, wrench 1-fig. 43
will come on with fixed light for 5 sec-
onds and the display will show again
time and km or mi.
At zero km (or zero miles)
Turning the ignition key to MARin-
dicator 1-fig. 41will flash for 5 sec-
onds with the number of kilometres
or miles (0 km or 0 mi) 2-fig. 45left
before the next service operation.
After these 5 seconds, the odome-
ter will return to normal operation
and display 2 will show either the to-
tal or partial kilometres or total or
partial miles.At next startings, both wrench 1-
fig. 45and km (or miles) 2-fig. 45will
flash for five seconds, then the display
will show again time and km or miles,
where provided.
This situation will subsist until service
frequency is reset by entering code
“CFG 1” or “CFG 2” or “CFG 3”.

LOW ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE (red)
When the engine oil pres-
sure falls below the normal level. The
light comes on when you turn the ig-
nition key to MARand should go out
as soon as the engine starts.
A delay in the light going out is ac-
ceptable when the engine is idling. If
the engine has been taxed heavily, the
light may flash when idling. It should,
however, go out when you acceler-
ate slightly.vASR (ANTISLIP
REGULATION
SYSTEM) (amber)
Turning the ignition key to MAR,
the warning light turns on, but it
should go off after few seconds.
The warning light flashes when the
system cuts in, to alert the driver that
the system is adapting to the road sur-
face grip conditions.
When the system is turned off with
the specific button, the warning light
comes on without flashing.
When the system is on and an ASR
fault is detected, the warning light
comes on without flashing. Check that
the information is correct by pressing
the button once (in this way, if the
system is working and the ASR is re-
stored, the warning light will go off,
but if there is a system failure, the ASR
will not be restored and the warning
light will stay on).
In this case contact a Fiat Dealer-
shipas soon as possible.PASSENGER SIDE
AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
When the passenger airbag has been
deactivated by means of the respec-
tive key switch.
FV
If the warning light comes
on when the vehicle is run-
ning, stop the engine and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Warning light Findicates
also warning light ¬fail-
ure. This is indicated by intermit-
tent flashing, over 4 seconds, of
warning light F. In this event,
warning light ¬could be not up to
indicate restraint system failures, if
any. Stop the car and contact Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
WARNING

37GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
EOBD ENGINE
FAILURE CONTROL
SYSTEM
(petrol versions only) (amber)
In normal conditions, the warning
light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to MARand should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.
If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
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 contin-
ue driving but you should not tax the
engine and you should moderate the
speed. Prolonged use with the warn-
ing light on can cause damage. Contact
a Fiat Dealershipas soon as possi-
ble. The warning light will go out when
the failure disappears. In any case, the
system will store the error.
2. Flashing- warning that the cata-
lyst can be damaged (see “EOBD sys-
tem” 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 Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible.INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE
(diesel versions) (red)
When there is a fault in the injection
system.
The warning light should come on
when the ignition key is turned to
MARand go out after a few seconds.
The warning light will stay on or come
on when travelling to indicate imperfect
operation of the injection system with
possible loss of performance, poor han-
dling and higher consumption.
In these conditions, you can contin-
ue driving but you should avoid de-
manding efforts from the engine or
high speeds. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
shipas soon as possible.
Prolonged use of the vehicle with the
warning light on can cause damage to
the engine, especially in the event of
misfiring. The vehicle can only be dri-
ven for a short period of time at low
speeds.
Occasional and brief lighting of the
warning light is meaningless.
UU
Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible if
the
Uwarning light ei-
ther does not come on when the
key is turned to MAR or comes
on, with fixed light or flashing
light, when travelling. Warning
light
Uoperation can be checked
by means of special equipment by
traffic agents. Always comply
with the road traffic regulations
in force in the Country where you
are travelling.

ENGINE COOLANT
LEVEL (red)
(where provided)
When the engine coolant in the radi-
ator drops under the minimum level.
n
AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX OIL TOO
HOT (red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light shall come on and go off
after about 4 seconds. If the warning
light stays on or comes on when trav-
elling, it indicates that there is a failure
in the gearbox (flashing light) or that
the gearbox oil is too hot (fixed light).
– Fixed light= automatic gearbox
oil max. temperature.
Warning light coming on with fixed
light when travelling indicates that
gearbox oil temperature has reached
the max. set limit; in this case stop the
vehicle, set the gear selector to “N”
or “P” with engine idling, (in this case
engine cooling fans are on), until the
warning light goes off. You can then
continue driving but you should not
tax the engine.
If the warning light comes on again,
stop the vehicle with engine idling and
wait until the warning light goes off.If the warning light comes on again
after less than 15 minutes, stop the ve-
hicle, do not switch off the engine but
wait for proper cooling of the engine
/ gearbox unit (both engine cooling
fans off).
– Flashing light= automatic gear-
box failure.
Warning light flashing at starting or
when travelling indicates a fault in the
automatic gearbox.
Engaging the 3rd gear, the automat-
ic control system starts an “emer-
gency programme”.
Switching the engine off and then on
again, the self-test system could ex-
clude the fault and therefore turn off
the warning light.
Failure is however stored and the au-
tomatic gearbox shall be checked at
a Fiat Dealership.ENGINE COOLANT
TOO HOT (red)
When the engine coolant
temperature exceeds the maximum
set level.

If the ¬warning light does
not turn on when turning
the ignition key to MAR or if it stays
on when travelling, this could indi-
cate a failure in safety retaining sys-
tems; under this condition air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger
in the event of collision or, in a re-
stricted number of cases, they could
trigger accidentally. Stop the car
and contact Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked immediately.
WARNING
If xwarning light comes
on when travelling, check
whether the handbrake is on. If the
warning light stays on and the
handbrake is off, stop immediate-
ly and contact a Fiat Dealership.

WATER IN DIESEL
FUEL (amber)
(diesel versions)
When there is water in the diesel fil-
ter. The light should come on when
the ignition key is turned to MAR and
go out after a few seconds.ABS (WHEEL
ANTILOCKING
SYSTEM)
FAILURE (amber)
The warning light comes on when
there is a failure in the ABS system. In
this case, the normal braking system
continues to work although without
the ABS assistance but you should
have the vehicle seen to at a Fiat
Dealershipas soon as possible.
The warning light should come on
when the ignition key is turned to
MARand should go out after ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
c
The presence of water in
diesel fuel can cause se-
vere damage to the en-
gine fuel feed system. Conse-
quently, you should go to a Fiat
Dealership as soon as the
c
warning light comes on to have
the system relieved. Warning
light coming on immediately af-
ter refuelling probably indicates
the presence of water in the tank:
turn the engine off and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
>
FIAT CODE
(amber)
The warning light comes on in three
cases (when the ignition key is at
MAR):
1.One flash - the key code has been
recognised. The engine can be start-
ed.
2.Fixed light - the key code has not
been recognised. Follow the emer-
gency procedure to start the engine
(see “In an emergency”).
3. Flashing - the vehicle is not pro-
tected by the device. The engine can
however be started.
Y
Vehicles with ABS are fitted
with electronic brakeforce
distributor (EBD). The >and x
warning lights come on at the same
time when the engine is running to
indicate that there is an EBD sys-
tem failure. In this case violent
braking may be accompanied by
early rear wheel locking with the
possibility of skidding. Drive ex-
tremely carefully to the nearest Fi-
at Dealership to have the system
checked.
