in this section.
IMPORTANTFailure indications
displayed are divided into two cate-
gories: very serious and less seri-
ousfailures.
Very seriousfailures are indicated
by a warning “cycle” repeated until fail-
ure is eliminated.
Less seriousfailures are indicated
by a limited warning “cycle”.The warning cycle of both failure cat-
egories can be stopped by pressing
button MODE. The instrument pan-
el warning light will stay on until elim-
inating the fault.

turning on indicates that the warning
light is working properly. If the warn-
ing light stays on or turns on when
travelling:
– glowing steadily: means a fault in
the supply/ignition system which could
cause high emissions at the exhaust,
possible lack of performance, poor
handling and high consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated
message is displayed.
In these conditions it is possible to
continue driving without however re-
quiring heavy effort or high speed from
the engine. Prolonged use of the ve-
hicle with the warning light on may
cause damages. Contact Fiat Deal-
ershipas soon as possible. The warn-
ing light goes off if the fault disappears,
but it is still stored by the system.
– flashing: indicates the possibility
