Warning light What it means
INJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to MAR, 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.
19)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst 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 may cause damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership 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 the
journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
19)If, turning the ignition device to MAR, thewarning light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some
versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

5 seconds until the oil is changed.
The symbol is displayed until the problem is solved.
Petrol versions: the warning light or symbol switches on and then is not displayed when the display cycle
is completed.
IMPORTANT After the first indication, each time the engine is started the symbol will continue to switch on
as described above until the oil is changed.
If the warning light or symbol flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle.
The deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

Warning light What it means
MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
The warning light switches on when the main beam headlights are turned on.
IMPORTANT
21)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If thesymbol is displayed contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to bleed the system. If the above indications come on immediately after
refuelling, water has probably been poured into the tank: switch the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
22)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.
23)If the symbol flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.
24)Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The
engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine,
following the instructions above. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
