IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when the
car is in motion, check that the handbrake is not
on.
BRAKE PAD WEAR (amber)
The warning light switches on if the front brake pads
are worn. In this case replace them as soon as
possible.
The display will show the dedicated message.
IMPORTANT Because the car is equipped with a
wear detection system only for the front brake pads,
when these are replaced the rear brake pads should
also be checked for wear.AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light stays on
constantly if there is a failure in the airbag system.
WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR-ON the
warning lightdoes not turn on or
stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this case
the airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of
cases, they may be deployed accidentally.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.WARNING
A fault with the
warning light is
indicated by flashing of the
warning
light , which signals the deactivation of the
passenger side front airbag. In addition, the
airbag system automatically disables the
airbags on the passenger's side (both front and
side airbags for versions/markets, where
provided). In this case, the warning light
may
not indicate a fault in the restraint systems.
Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
