IMPORTANT If the needle moves to
the beginning of the scale
(low temperature) with the
overheating warning light A on, this
indicates a fault in the system. If this
is the case, contact a Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
The needle may also approach the
red section when travelling too
slowly in a very hot climate. In this
case, it is best to stop for a while
and stop the engine.
Then restart and accelerate lightly.

ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
fig. 37-38
If warning light A switches on in the
instrument panel, this indicates
overheating of the engine coolant.
In normal operating conditions, the
needle may move to various
positions within the scale according
to the vehicle usage conditions and
the management of the engine
cooling system performed
automatically by the system itself.
However, it should not move to the
red danger zone.

IMPORTANT If the indicator shows
that the tank is empty and the
reserve warning light A-fig. 35-36
flashes, this indicates a fault in the
system. On some versions, the same
fault indication is provided by scale
C, which flashes on the display. If
this is the case, contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.

Recalibrating the instruments
(compass and roll and pitch
meters)
The red LEDs will start to flash if
there is a fault with one of these
instruments.
In this case, the instruments must be
recalibrated. Proceed as follows:
– park the vehicle in an area which
is flat and with plenty of space
(suitable for driving through a
compete circle);
– make sure that the vehicle is
completely stationary;
– start the engine;
– use the stalk to switch on the side
lights 3 times in the space of 15
seconds;
– the roll and pitch meter LEDs
flash to indicate that the
recalibration process has started,
after which the compass LEDs
also flash;– at this point, drive the vehicle
through 2 complete circles,
finishing at the same starting point;
– the compass LEDs will stop
flashing; you must now switch the
side lights off 3 times in the space
of 15 seconds;
– the compass LEDs will switch on
for a moment, after which the
instrument panel display will show
a dedicated message regarding the
result of the calibration process.IMPORTANT Do not carry out the
recalibration procedure near strong
magnetic fields or energy sources.
To achieve correct recalibration,
carry out the procedure with vehicle
in running order and without
additional loads.

BRAKE FLUID LOW
(red) / HANDBRAKE
ENGAGED (red)
When the key is turned to
MAR, the warning light switches on
but should switch off after a few
seconds.
Brake fluid low
The warning light switches on when
the level of the brake fluid in the
reservoir falls below the minimum
level, possibly due to a leak in the
circuit.
On some versions, the display shows
a dedicated message.
WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on
together with (where the instrument
panel permits) a specific message
and/or acoustic signal. These
indications are precautionary and as
such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner
Handbook, which you are advised to
read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this
section in the event of a failure
indication.
IMPORTANT The failure indications
displayed 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.Warning lights (or the symbol on
the display) on the instrument panel
will stay on until the cause of the
failure is eliminated.
If the
xwarning light
switches on when
travelling (together with the
message on the display on
certain versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
x
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when
the handbrake is engaged.
On certain versions, if the vehicle is
in motion, the warning light switches
on together with an acoustic signal.
IMPORTANT If the warning light
switches on when travelling, check
that the handbrake is not engaged.

When the key is turned to MAR, the
warning light switches on, but should
switch off as soon as the engine is
started.
Low engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on
constantly, together with a message
(for versions/markets, where

WARNING
Engine oil deteriorated
The
vwarning light starts to
flash together with a message on the
display (for versions/markets, where
provided) when the system detects
that the engine oil has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does
not mean that the vehicle is faulty,
but simply informs the driver that it
is now necessary to change the
engine oil as a result of regular
vehicle use.If the oil is not changed, when a
second deterioration threshold is
reached, the
Uwarning light also
switches on in the instrument panel
and engine operation is limited to
3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a
third deterioration threshold is
reached, the engine is limited to
1500 rpm to avoid damage.
To avoid damaging the
engine you are advised
to change the engine oil
when the warning light
v
flashes. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
