Warning light What it means
yellowFIAT CODE SYSTEM FAILURE
With the key in the MAR position, on some versions the warning light, or the symbol on the display, turns
on continuously, along with a dedicated message on the display, to signal a possible Fiat CODE system
failure.
If the warning light or symbol blinks on the display with engine running, it means that the vehicle is not
protected by the engine immobiliser device.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
yellowFUEL RESERVE - LIMITED RANGE
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 or the symbol switches on in the display when about 5 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
The triangle on the right side of the symbol indicates the side of the car with the fuel filler.
IMPORTANT If the warning light flashes or the symbol is constantly on, depending on the versions, there is
a fault in the system. If this is the case, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
yellowREAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is activated.
yellowABS FAILURE
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 comes on, on some versions along with a message on the display, when the system is
inefficient or not available. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but without the
advantage of the ABS system.
Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

WARNING
45)If the system signals a pressure decrease on a specific tyre, it is recommended to check the pressure on all four tyres. The iTPMS does
not relieve the driver from the obligation to check the tyre pressure every month; it is not to be considered a system to replace servicing or
a safety system. Tyre pressure must be checked with tyres cold. Should it become necessary for whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even though it is higher than the prescribed value, but repeat the check when tyres are cold.
46)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre pressure drops (for example when a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with
caution and avoiding abrupt steering. The system only warns that the tyre pressure is low: it is not able to inflate them. Insufficient tyre
inflation increases fuel consumption, reduces the tread duration and may affect the capacity to drive safely.

The warning light indicates the passenger airbag protection status. If the warning light is off, passenger's
airbag protection is active: to deactivate it, use the Setup Menu (in this case the LED lights up). When the
engine is started (ignition key turned to MAR position), the warning light turns on for about 8 seconds,
provided that at least 5 seconds have elapsed from when it was switched off. If not, contact a Fiat
Dealership. If the engine is switched off/on again in less than 5 seconds the warning light may remain off. In
this case, to check correct warning light operation, switch the engine off, wait for at least 5 seconds and
switch the engine on again. The warning light may light up with various intensity levels depending on the
vehicle conditions. The intensity may also vary during the same key cycle.
