Telltales On The EVIC/DID Instrument Cluster
Low Brake Fluid
•What Does It Mean
The light comes on when the brake fluid
level in the reservoir drops below the mini-
mum level, due to a possible loss of liquid
from the circuit.
•What To Do

Electric Park Brake (EPB) Engaged
•What Does It Mean
The light comes on with Electric Park Brake
(EPB) engaged.
•What To Do
Switch off the EPB and check that the
indicator light goes off.
If the light remains on, see an authorized dealer.
Electronic Breakforce Distribution (EBD) Failure
•What Does It Mean
The simultaneous firing ofBRAKE lights
(Red) and(Amber) with the engine
running indicates a failure of the Elec-
tronic Breakforce Distribution (EBD) sys-
tem or that the system is not available. In
this case, with heavy braking, the rear
wheels may lock early and increase the possibility
of skidding.
The dedicated message will appear on the display.
•What To Do
Drive with extreme caution, immediately reach the
nearest authorized dealer for the verification of the
system.
Air Bag
•What Does It Mean
By placing the ignition switch in MAR/
RUN, the indicator light illuminates but
should go out after a few seconds. If the

•What To Do
In the case of normal gear:stop the car, shut off the
engine, and check that the level of coolant inside the
tank is not below the minimum (MIN). In this case,
wait for the engine to cool, then slowly and carefully
open the cap, fill with coolant, make sure it is
between the MIN and MAX marks. Also, check for
coolant leaks. If at the next start-up, the light (or the
icon on the display) would once again illuminate,
contact an authorized dealer.
In the case of heavy use of the car (e.g. In terms of
performance):slow down and, if the light stays on,
stop the car. For two or three minutes, keep the
engine running and slightly accelerate to help the
flow of coolant in the system. Then, turn the engine
off. Check for the correct level of coolant as described
above.
Electric Park Brake Failure
•What Does It Mean
By placing the ignition in the MAR/RUN
position, the light (If Equipped) will illumi-
nate but should go out after a few seconds.
The light comes on when it detects a failure
in Electric Parking Brake.
The display shows the dedicated message.
•What To Do
Please contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTE:In this case, with heavy braking, the rear wheels

booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the
brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during
each stop.
The display shows the dedicated message.
•What To Do
Please contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
TPMS Failure
•What Does It Mean
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your ve-
hicle has tires of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
