Warning light What it means
amberINJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on while driving, the injection system is not working properly.
Warning light constantly on: signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption. 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 fixed may cause
damage: contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.
Warning light flashing (petrol engines only): signals that the catalytic converter is probably 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.

amberAdBlue® (UREA) INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE (Diesel versions)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
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 warning light appears, on some versions together
with a dedicated message on the display, if a fluid not conforming with nominal features is introduced or if
an average AdBlue® (UREA) consumption of over 50% is detected.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
If the problem is not solved, a specific message will appear on the instrument panel display whenever a
certain threshold is reached until it will no longer be possible to start the engine.
When there are approximately 200 km before you will no longer able to restart the engine, on some
versions a dedicated message will appear fixed on the instrument panel display accompanied by warning
tone.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
amberDEACTIVATION OF CITY BRAKE CONTROL - "Collision Mitigation" SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when the City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" system is deactivated by
the driver or in the event of automatic deactivation following a temporary system failure. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
amberGLOW PLUG PREHEATING (Diesel versions)
This warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR. It will switch off as soon as the heater plugs
have reached a preset temperature. The engine can be started as soon as the warning light switches off.
IMPORTANT In mild or high ambient temperature conditions, the warning light comes on for a very short
time only.
Glow plug preheating failure
The warning light will flash to indicate an anomaly in the glow plug preheating system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
amberINDICATION OF AdBlue® (UREA) DIESEL EMISSIONS ADDITIVE LOW LEVEL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The AdBlue® (UREA) Diesel Emissions Additive low level warning light
lights up if the car has a low level
of AdBlue® (UREA).
Top up the AdBlue® (UREA) tank as soon as possible with at least 5 litres of AdBlue® (UREA). If topping
up is done with remaining range of AdBlue® (UREA) in the tank equal to zero, you may need to wait 2
minutes before starting the engine.

Warning light What it means
blueMAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
The warning light switches on when the main beam headlights are turned on.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Symbol What it means
INDICATION OF AdBlue® (UREA) DIESEL EMISSIONS ADDITIVE LOW LEVEL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The AdBlue® (UREA) Diesel Emissions Additive low level symbol
lights when the
AdBlue® (UREA) level is low. A warning and a message indicating the need to top up
AdBlue® (UREA) also appear on the display.
The symbol
stays on until the tank is topped up with at least 5 litres of AdBlue® (UREA).
If you do not top up, a specific message will appear on the instrument panel display
whenever a certain threshold is reached until it will no longer be possible to start the
engine.
A message will appear permanently on the instrument panel and an acoustic tone will be
heard when there is about 200 km of range left.
A specific message will appear on the instrument panel display when there are 0 km of
range left. It will no longer be possible to restart the engine after it has been stopped. It will
be possible to restart the engine after pouring at least 5 litres of AdBlue® (UREA) in the
tank.
Top up the AdBlue® (UREA) tank as soon as possible with at least 5 litres of AdBlue®
(UREA). If topping up is done with remaining range of AdBlue® (UREA) in the tank equal to
zero, you may need to wait 2 minutes before starting the engine.

WARNING
19)Decayed engine oil should be changed as soon as possible after the symbol appears and never more than 500 km after it first appears.
Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. When this symbol 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.
20)If the symbol flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.
21)The presence of water in the fuel system circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If the
symbol 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)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 symbol 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.
23)When the AdBlue® (UREA) tank is empty and the engine stops it is no longer possible to restart it until the AdBlue® (UREA) tank is
topped up with at least 5 litres of AdBlue® (UREA).
