WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGESGENERAL WARNINGSTurning on of warning light is accompanied by specific mes-
sage and/or by buzzer sound where provided by instru-
ment panel. These indications are concise and brief and
cautionary and as such must not be considered as ex-
haustive and/or alternative to the information contained
in the Owner Handbook, which shall always be read
through carefully and thoroughly. In case of failure indi-
cation, always refer to the specifications contained in this
chapter.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided in-
to two categories: very serious and less serious failures.
Very serious failures are indicated by a repeated and pro-
longed warning “cycle”.
Less serious failures are indicated by a limited “warning”
cycle.
The warning cycle of both failure types can be stopped
by pressing the button MODE. The instrument panel warn-
ing light will stay on until the cause of the failure is elimi-
nated.
For messages relevant to the versions equipped with Dua-
logic gearbox, see the attached Supplement.

id in the reservoir falls below the minimum level due to
a possible leak in the circuit.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.

elling (on certain versions together with
the message on the display) stop the car imme-
diately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

CONTINUOUSLY ON: LOW ENGINE
OIL PRESSURE (red)
FLASHING: EXHAUSTED ENGINE OIL
(only Multijet versions with DPF – red)
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light comes
on, but should go out as soon as the engine is started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light will turn on constantly together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) when the system detects that the engine oil pres-
sure is too low.If the warning light
v
turns on when the
car is travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the display) stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil
(Multijet versions with DPF only)
The warning light will turn on flashing together with the
message on the display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided). Depending on the versions, the warning light flash-
ing modes are as follows:
– one minute every two hours;
– cycles of three minutes with intervals with the warning
light off for five seconds until the oil is changed.v
If the warning light comes on, the ex-
hausted engine oil should be changed as
soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km
from the first switching-on of this warning light.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the engine could be severely damaged and the
warranty may decay. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the warn-
ing light flashes, never add oil.
WARNING
After the first indication, at each engine start up the warn-
ing light will continue flashing as above described until the
oil is changed. For those versions/markets where provid-
ed, the display shows a dedicated message together with
the warning light.
The flashing of the warning light should not be consid-
ered as as fault, rather simply informs the customer that
oil needs to be changed after a standard period of car util-
isation.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is ac-
celerated by:
– mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF re-
generation process more frequent;
– use of the car for short journeys, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature;
– repeated interruptions to the regeneration process sig-
nalled by the DPF warning light coming on.
