ABS (WHEEL ANTI-LOCKING SYSTEM) FAILURE (red)
Turning the key to MAR the warning light on the dial turns on, but it should go off after about 4
seconds.
The warning light turns on together with the message when the system is inefficient. In this case
the braking system keeps its effectiveness unchanged, but without the potential offered by the
ABS system. Caution is advisable, particularly in all cases of less than perfect grip. It is therefore
necessary to contact Fiat Dealership.
ELECTRONIC BRAKEFORCE DISTRIBUTOR (EBD) FAILURE
The car is fitted with an electronic brakeforce distributor (EBD). Warning lights >and xand the
message at the same time, with the engine running, indicate a failure concerning the EBD system.
In this case violent braking may be accompanied by early rear wheel locking with the possibility of
skidding. Drive the car extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
ESP SYSTEM (ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM) (where provided) (amber)
Turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light on the dial comes on but shall go off after few
seconds.
If the warning light does not go off or stays on when travelling, contact Fiat Dealership.
Warning light flashing when driving indicates that the ESP system is active.

WARNINGWarning light >turning on together with the message when the engine is running,
normally indicates a failure concerning the ABS only. In this case the braking
system is still efficient, though without the anti-locking device. Under these
conditions, performance of the EBD system may be reduced. Also in this case, you
are advised to go immediately to the nearest Fiat Dealership, driving in such a way
to avoid sharp braking to have the system checked.

EOBD / INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
In normal conditions, turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light turns on, but it should go
off when the engine has started.
The warning light stays on or turns on when travelling to indicate injection system malfunctioning;
in particular the warning light turns on glowing steadily to indicate a fault in the supply/ignition
system which could cause high emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of performance, poor han-
dling and high consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated message is displayed.
In these conditions it is possible to continue driving without however requiring heavy effort or high
speed from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damages. Con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the fault disappears, the system will in any case store the fault.
NOTE (valid for petrol versions only)
The warning light turns on flashing to indicate a possible damage to the catalyst.
If the warning light flashes, 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 Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
If, turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning lightUdoes not turn on or if it turns on glowing
steadily or flashing when travelling (on certain versions together with the dedicated message on the
display), contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. Warning light
Uoperation can be checked by
traffic agents by proper equipment therefore, comply with laws and regulations in force in the
country where you are driving.
