WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
GENERAL WARNINGS
Switching on of some warning lights/symbols is
associated to a specific message and/or warning buzzer.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and
as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner
Handbook, which you are recommended to read
carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information in
this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT The fault indicators appearing on the
reconfigurable multifunction display are divided into two
categories: very serious and less serious faults.
Very serious faults prompt a prolonged cycle of signals.
Less serious faults prompt a shorter cycle of signals.
Press MENU ESC to stop the warning cycle in both
cases.
The instrument panel warning lights will stay on until the
causes of the fault are eliminated.

FIX & GO Automatic QUICK TYRE
REPAIR KIT
The Fix&Go Automatic quick tyre repair kit is located in
the luggage compartment.
The kit fig. 127 includes:
❒a canister A, containing sealant, which is fitted with:– filler tube B;
– an adhesive label C with the message “max. 80 km/h” to apply in a position clearly visible by the
driver (on the dashboard) after repairing the tyre;
❒informative leaflet (see fig. 128), used to ensure the
correct use of the quick tyre repair kit and then
given to the personnel who will handle the treated
tyre;
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system are not activated until the engine
is started; a greater effort will therefore be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.
