2018 FIAT TIPO 4DOORS light

DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a display
that can show useful information to the
driver while driving.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a special indication on the
display.
Through the GSI, the driver is informed
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the
icon appears on the
display, the GSI suggests switching to a
higher gear, while when the
icon is
displayed, the GSI suggests changing
to a lower gear.
The indication in the display remains
until a gear is shifted or the driving
conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve
consumption.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

EOBD SYSTEM
(European On Board
Diagnosis)
(where provided)
Operation
The EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis system) carries out a
continuous diagnosis of the
components of the vehicle related to
emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel, together with a message on the
display, when these components are no
longer in peak condition (see “Warning
lights and messages” paragraph in this
chapter).
The aim of the EOBD system (European
On Board Diagnosis) is to:
monitor the efficiency of the system;
indicate an increase in emissions;
indicate the need to replace
damaged components.
The vehicle also has a connector, which
can interface with appropriate tools,
that makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the electronic control
units together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by the traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating a fault, to
check the system completely, a Fiat
Dealership is obliged to run tests and, if
necessary, road tests which may also
require a long journey.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
IMPORTANT The warning light switches on in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. 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 section in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very 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 failure is eliminated.
NOTE The warning lights and icons described below are indicative and can change based on the version or market.
Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
redINSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / PARKING BRAKE ON
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of 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 stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the parking brake is engaged.
redPOWER STEERING FAILURE
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on when the ignition device is brought to MAR, but it
should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you could
not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be increased;
steering is, however, possible. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
redFAULT IN AT6 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light or symbol switches on to indicate that there is a failure in the automatic transmission.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.18)
51

Warning light What it means
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
The warning light or symbol switches on in the case of insufficient engine oil pressure.
19)
IMPORTANT Do not use the car until the failure has been solved. The switching on of the symbol does not
show the quantity of oil in the engine: the oil level must be checked manually.
red
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights 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.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
IMPORTANT
18)Driving the vehicle with this symbol on may severely damage the gearbox, with resulting breakage. The oil may also overheat: contact with
hot engine or with exhaust components at high temperature could cause fires.
19)If the symbol switches on when driving, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
redSEAT BELTS REMINDER
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side
seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning
light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger side seat
belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened. In this
case, fasten the seat belt.
redENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display on some versions) switches on when the engine is overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, 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 itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on
(or the icon is displayed) 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. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant
level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before turning it off.
redALTERNATOR FAILURE
If this warning light or symbol switches on when the engine is running, this indicates a vehicle recharging
system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
redDOOR OPEN
The warning light or the symbol turns on when one or more doors (or, for some versions also the bonnet
and the engine bonnet) are not perfectly closed (for versions/markets, where provided). An acoustic signal
is activated with the doors open and the car moving. Close the doors properly.
53

Warning light What it means
redAIR BAG FAILURE
If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a failure in the airbag system.
33) 34)
WARNING
33)If, when the ignition device is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on or stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this case the airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of cases,
they may be deployed accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
34)The failure of the
warning light is signalled by the lighting up of theicon on the instrument panel display (or, for versions where
provided, by the flashing of the generic failure warning light). In this case, the warning light may not indicate any faults with the restraint
systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
Amber warning lights
Warning light What it means
amberGENERAL FAILURE
When this warning light or symbol starts flashing, for versions/markets where provided, this indicates an
airbag warning light fault. In this case, the airbag may not indicate possible airbag system malfunctions.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
When this warning light or symbol turn on, it can indicate the intervention or a problem concerning the fuel
cut-off system or an engine oil pressure sensor failure.
