and less serious failures. Serious
failures are indicated by a repeated
and prolonged warning "cycle". Less
serious failures are indicated by a
warning "cycle" with a shorter duration.
The display cycle of both categories
can be interrupted. The instrument

Warning LightWhat It Means
ALTERNATOR FAILURE
If the warning light illuminates while driving, it indicates a malfunction of the alternator or of the
charging system. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Stop the vehicle in a
safe place immediately and contact an Authorized Dealership.
Note:Do not continue driving when the charging system warning light is illuminated because the
engine could stop unexpectedly.
LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
This warning light indicates low engine oil pressure.
Note:Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive engine
damage.
If the light illuminates or the warning indication is displayed while driving:
Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way on level ground.
Turn off the engine and wait five minutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.
Inspect the engine oil level. If it's low, add the appropriate amount of engine oil while being
careful not to overfill.
Start the engine and check the warning light.
Note:
Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive engine damage.
If the light remains illuminated even though the oil level is normal or after adding oil, stop the
engine immediately and contact an Authorized Dealership.
DOOR-OPEN WARNING LIGHT
The light turns on if any door is not closed securely.
Close the door securely.
Warning!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You
could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Amber Warning Lights
Warning lightWhat it means
TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure is lower
than the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal
tire duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the indications
corresponding to each tire in sequence.
IMPORTANT:Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tire
repair kit and contact your authorized dealership as soon as possible.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated 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 pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels

Amber Warning Lights
Warning lightWhat it means
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT (IF EQUIPPED)
The light illuminates when the transmission has a problem.
Note:If the automatic transmission warning light illuminates, the transmission has an electrical
problem. Continuing to drive your vehicle in this condition could cause damage to your
transmission. Contact an Authorized Dealership as soon as possible.
MASTER WARNING LIGHT
Versions Without Fiat Connect 7.0 System
The warning light turns on continuously if there is a malfunction in the battery management
system or there is a malfunction in the brake switch. Contact an Authorized Dealership as soon
as possible.
Versions With Fiat Connect 7.0 System
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction. Operate the center display and
verify the content. Refer to “Vehicles With Fiat Connect 7.0” paragraph in this chapter.
Cold Start Disable Indicator Light
When the ambient temperature is extremely low, the engine may not crank even when the
engine starting procedure is performed. At this time, the Cold Start Disable Indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes. However, this does not indicate a problem.
Note:Place your vehicle in a warm garage until the temperature has risen to a sufficient level to enable
engine starting.
Electric Throttle Control Warning Light
This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a
problem is detected while the engine is running, the light will either stay on or flash depending on
the nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle is safely and completely
stopped and the transmission is placed in the PARK position. The light should turn off. If the light
remains on with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an
authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.
If the light continues to flash when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you
may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle, or engine stall and your vehicle
may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned to ON/RUN and
remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
