SYSTEM FAILURE
(petrol versions - amber)
Injection system failure
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on and should go
out as soon as the engine is started.If the warning light stays on or turns on
during car travel, it indicates that the in-
jection system is not operating correctly,
which could cause reduced performance,
poor drivability and high consumption lev-
els.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
In these conditions, the car can continue
travelling at moderate speed without de-
manding excessive effort from the engine.
In any case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
EOBD engine control system
failure
Under normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after en-
gine start-up. This indicates that the warn-
ing light is working correctly. If the warn-
ing light either stays on or comes on dur-
ing car travel:
❒steady light: indicates a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, possible
reduced performances, poor drivabili-
ty and high consumption levels.
U
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
In these conditions, the car can continue
travelling at moderate speed without de-
manding excessive effort from the engine.
Prolonged use of the car with the warn-
ing light on may cause damage. Go to a Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible. The
warning light goes out after the fault is
cleared, and the indication is stored in the
system.
❒flashing light: indicates the possibility of
damage to the catalyser (see “EOBD
system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”).
If the warning light flashes, release the ac-
celerator pedal to lower the speed of the
engine until the warning light stops flash-
ing; continue the journey at moderate
speed, trying to avoid driving conditions
that may cause further flashing. Finally,
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
