The fault of the warning light is signaled by the switching on of the icon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not
indicate any faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not switch on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on
the display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an

checked immediately.

Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
REAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is
activated.
OBD / INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition is cycled to ON,
the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as
soon as the engine is started.
The operation of the 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.
Injection System Failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on while
driving, the injection system is not working properly. The
warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the
supply/ignition system which could cause high exhaust
emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor
driveability and high consumption.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction
disappears, but is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
travelling at moderate speed but without demanding
excessive effort from the engine or high speed.
Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on
constantly may cause damage. Contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Catalytic Converter Damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic
converter may be damaged. Release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the
engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that
may cause further flashing and contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
