SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
Under normal conditions, turning
the ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on, but it should go off when the en-
gine has started.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, means a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause high
emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of
performance, poor handling and high con-
sumption levels.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the en-
gine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damages. Con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light turns off if the fault dis-
appears, but it is still stored by the system.
U
If, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light U
does not turn on or if it turns
on glowing steadily or flash-
ing when travelling (on certain ver-
sions together with the message on
the display), contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible. Warning light U
operation can be checked by traffic
agents by proper equipment. Com-
ply with laws and regulations of the
country where you are driving.
Petrol engines only
Warning light turning on flashing indicates
the possibility of damage to the catalyst.
If the 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 moder-
ate speed, trying to avoid driving condi-
tions that may cause further flashing and
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light turns on,
but it should go off after few seconds. The
warning light turns on when about 8 litres
fuel are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light flashes to
indicate a failure, contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system
checked.
ç
Always drive at a speed ap-
propriate to the traffic
conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine may be turned
off while the DPF light is on; how-
ever, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in
premature exhaustion of engine oil.
For this reason it is always advisable
to wait for the light to go off before
turning off the engine, following the
instructions appearing above. It is
not advisable to complete DPF re-
generation with the vehicle sta-
tionary.
