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.
redAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE / DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light or symbol switches on to indicate that there is a failure in the automatic transmission or in
the dual clutch automatic transmission. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.20)
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
The warning light or symbol switches on in the case of insufficient engine oil pressure.
21)
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.
IMPORTANT
20)Driving the vehicle with the warning light or symbol on may severely damage the transmission, with resulting breakage. The oil may also
overheat: contact with hot engine or with exhaust components at high temperature could cause fires.
21)If the warning light or the symbol turns on while driving, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
57
Warning light What it means
amberESC SYSTEM
ESC system activation
Intervention by the system is indicated by the flashing of the warning light: it indicates that the car is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC system failure
If the warning light does not switch off, or if it stays on with the engine running, a failure was found on the
ESC system. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Hill Hold Control system failure
The warning light turns on to indicate a Hill Holder Control system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
amberPARTIAL DEACTIVATION OF ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS
The warning light switches on to indicate that some active safety systems have been partially deactivated.
When the systems are reactivated, the warning light switches off.
amberAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING / DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID OVERHEATING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light or symbol switches on if the clutch overheats, following particularly heavy use. In this
case, engine performance/functionality is limited. Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or
idling.
amberREAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is activated.

STARTING THE
ENGINE
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on
the display.
ENGINE STARTING
PROCEDURE
107) 108) 109) 110)
39) 40) 41) 42)
Versions with manual transmission
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and place
the gear lever in neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
only for diesel versions, bring the
ignition device to MAR, warning light
will come on in the instrument
panel and wait for the warning light to
switch off;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Versions with automatic
transmission
(where provided)
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and set
the gear lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral);
set the ignition device to AVV;
if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait
for 10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
107)Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
108)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.109)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
110)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
39)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km, you do
not drive to full car performance (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking, etc.).
40)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
41)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
42)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be used
as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.
