WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on

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.
