A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and the vehicle is moving.
WARNING
48)If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the
display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident
or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
49)A failure of the
warning light is indicated by the blinkingwarning light. In this case, thewarning light may not indicate a possible
problem with the airbag restraint system. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
50)If the
warning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km from
the first switching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty.
Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top
up the engine oil.
