EOBD SYSTEM
47)
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle to be
made. It also alerts the driver, by
turning on warning light
in the
instrument panel (together with the
relevant message in the display
on some versions), when these
components are no longer in peak
condition (see "Warning lights and
messages" section).
The goal of the system is to:
❒monitor the efficiency of the system;
❒indicate an increase in emissions
due to vehicle malfunction;
❒indicate the need to replace
components which have
deteriorated.
The system also has a connector
that can be interfaced with
appropriate equipment, which
makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the control unit
together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis.This check can also be carried out
by traffic control authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
failure, to check the system
completely, Fiat Dealerships run a
bench test and, if necessary, road
tests which may also call for a
long journey.
WARNING
47) If, when the ignition key is turned
to MAR, the
warning light
does not switch on, switches on
constantly or flashes when driving
(on certain versions together
with the message on the display),
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. The operation of
warning light may be checked
by the traffic police using specific
devices. Always comply with the
traffic regulations in force in the
country where you are driving.

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 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 advised to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: serious and less serious failures. Serious
faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning
"cycle" with a shorter duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel
warning light will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated.

redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light switches on when the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light turns on when travelling (on
certain versions together with the message on the
display) stop the vehicle immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.

(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's side or
passenger side seat belt (in versions where
provided) not fastened.
The warning light flashes and a buzzer will sound
if the vehicle is in motion and the driver’s seat belt
is not correctly fastened.For permanent deactivation of the SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) system buzzer, contact a Fiat
Dealership. The system can be reactivated using
the Setup Menu.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the digital warning light switches on, but
it should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with the message in
the display when the system detects that the engine oil pressure is
insufficient.
12)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning 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
warning light also
switches on in the instrument panel and the 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.Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
50) 51)
Remember that the
deterioration of the engine
oil is accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the
vehicle which makes the
DPF regeneration process
more frequent
– use of the vehicle for
short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching
operating temperature
– repeated interruption of
the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.

redLOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light turns on but it
should go off after a few seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the engine oil level falls
below the minimum recommended value.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.Restore the correct
engine oil level (see
“Checking fluid levels” in
the "Servicing and
maintenance" section).

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberINJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to
MAR the warning light switches on, but it should switch
off as soon as the engine is started.
The operation of
warning light may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the
laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.13)
If the warning light stays on or switches on when driving,
it means that the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning light comes on
constantly, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/
ignition system that could cause excessive exhaust
emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor
driveability and high fuel consumption.
On some versions, the display shows the dedicated
message.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction
disappears, but it is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, you may continue
travelling at a moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Prolonged use of the vehicle with
the warning light on constantly may cause
damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
NOTE (for petrol engine only)
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic
converter may be damaged.In this case, it is necessary to release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing. Continue the journey at moderate
speed, trying to avoid driving conditions
that may cause further flashing and
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.

amberDPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING
UNDERWAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to inform
the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
the trapped pollutants (particulate) through the
regeneration process.
A dedicated message will appear on the display
when the warning light switches on (for versions/
markets, where provided).The warning light does not come on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. The
warning light will switch off if the vehicle remains
in motion until regeneration has been
completed. On average, the process lasts 15
minutes.
The best conditions to complete the
regeneration process are reached by driving the
vehicle constantly at 60 km/h with engine speed
above 2000 rpm. When this warning light
comes on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure
and it should not therefore be taken to a
workshop.
