Warning light What it means
ABS FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light comes on, on some versions along with a message on the display, when the system is
inefficient. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of
the ABS system.
Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
PASSENGER/SIDE AIRBAGS DEACTIVATED
The warning light is located on the dashboard in central position and switches on deactivating the front
passenger airbag and the side airbag. With front passenger airbag on, when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the warning light switches on constantly for several seconds and then it should switch off.

airbags on the passenger's side (front and side bags where provided). Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.

Warning light What it means
City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" SYSTEM DEACTIVATED
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on when the City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" system is deactivated
through the Setup Menu.
INJECTION/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.
If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly; in
particular, if the warning light switches on steadily, 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.
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.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
NOTE For petrol engines, if the warning light flashes, 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.
24)
WARNING
24)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if thewarning light either does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if while
driving the warning light switches on either constantly or flashing (along with a message and a symbol on the display on some versions).
Operation of the
warning light may be verified by traffic control officers using appropriate equipment. Comply with the laws and
regulations of the country where you are driving.

on the display, contact a Fiat Dealership. Flashing of the warning light while driving indicates the
intervention of the ESC system.

case of a Hill Holder system fault.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
ELD system failure
(For versions/markets, where provided)

Warning light What it means
GLOW PLUG HEATING/GLOW PLUG HEATING FAILURE (diesel versions)
Plug preheating
This warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR. It should switch off as soon as the heater
plugs have reached a preset temperature. The engine can be started as soon as the warning light switches
off.
IMPORTANT At moderate or high ambient temperatures the warning light may stay on for an extremely
short time.
Heater plug preheating failure
The warning light will flash, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, to indicate a
fault in the plug preheating system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the fault fixed.
FUEL RESERVE - LIMITED RANGE
This warning light switches on when 5 to 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank. When the remaining range is
lower than approx. 50 km (or equivalent value in miles), on some versions, the display will show a
dedicated message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to indicate a system fault. If this is the case, go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.

Warning light What it means
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING IN PROGRESS (Diesel versions with DPF)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light turns on but should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the
display, to notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) through
the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on every time the DPF is being regenerated, rather only when the driving
conditions are such that the driver needs to know it. To switch the warning light off, the vehicle must be
kept moving until the regeneration process is completed. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes.
Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed
above 2000 rpm.
If this light switches on, it does not mean that the vehicle is defective, so there is no need to take it to a
workshop.
46)
WARNING
46)Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. The engine can also be switched off if the
DPF warning light is on; nevertheless, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause an early deterioration of engine oil. For
this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before stopping the engine as described above. It is not advisable to complete
DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

Warning light What it means
iTPMS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on constantly to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the recommended
value, in order to guarantee long tyre life and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be flat and probably punctured. In this
case it is advisable to restore the correct pressure value. Once the normal operating conditions of the
vehicle are restored, carry out the Tyre reset procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly (along with a dedicated
message on the display) to indicate that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system goes
back to normal operation when the operating conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the Tyre
reset procedure after restoring the normal operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
