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.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately.

What it means What to do
redSEAT BELTS REMINDER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on constantly with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's side or passenger
side seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided)
not fastened.
The warning light will flash and a buzzer will sound if
the driver seat belt and the passenger seat belt (for
versions/markets, where provided) are not correctly
fastened with the vehicle in motion.The buzzer of the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system
can only be disabled by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions, the system may be reactivated
using the Setup menu.
redGEARBOX FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light flashes (together with a message in
the display and an acoustic signal) to indicate that the
gearbox is faulty.
The warning light can switch on even in the case of
transmission overheating, after a particularly
demanding use. In this case an engine performance
limitation is carried out.If the transmission is faulty, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system checked.

redENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. The warning light turns on when the engine
is overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off
the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait
for a few minutes to allow the engine to cool down,
then slowly and carefully open the cap. Top up with
coolant fluid making sure that it is included between
the MIN and MAX lines on the vessel. Also check
visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the
warning light switches on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and, if
the light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running and slightly
accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation,
then stop the engine. Check that the coolant level is
correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.
redLOW BATTERY CHARGE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine has started (with the engine idling a brief delay
before switching off is acceptable).
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.
