KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
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.
87
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.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the
handbrake is engaged.Release the handbrake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided), with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected immediately.
redAIRBAG FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light

provided) not fastened.
The warning light flashes and a buzzer will sound
if the vehicle is in motion and the driver’s seat belt

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
TOO HIGH
When the key is turned to MAR, the
warning light switches on but it should
switch off after a few seconds. The warning
light turns on when the engine is
overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir is
not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to
cool down then slowly and carefully open the cap, top
up with coolant and check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir. Also check
visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the
warning light switches on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
in high-performance driving): slow down and, if the
warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running and slightly
accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation.
Then stop the engine. Check that the coolant level is
correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.
redLOW BATTERY CHARGE
The warning light comes on when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should
go out as soon as the engine has started
(with the engine running at idle speed a
brief delay before going out is acceptable).If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.

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.
