Warning light What it means
red
amber
amber (versions with
multifunctional display)
amber (versions with colour
display)EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the 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 car may
swerve when braking sharply. On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected.
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).
If the warning light or the symbol on the display (together with a dedicated message on the display on
some versions) remains on, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.

Warning light What it means
red“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, you may
not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be notably
increased; steering is, however, possible.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the warning light switches on while driving (on some versions, together with a dedicated message on the
display) you may not have steering assistance. Although it will still be possible to steer the vehicle, the effort
needed to operate the steering wheel could be increased: contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent of the electric power steering could cause the
warning light on the instrument panel to switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately (should it be in
motion), stop the engine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the warning light stays on,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the steering must be initialised. The warning light switches
on to indicate this. To carry out this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way from one end to
the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.
redOPEN DOORS / BONNET / BOOT (versions with multifunctional display)
The warning light appears on the display, together with a dedicated message, on some versions, when one
or more doors, the tailgate or the bonnet (for versions/markets, where provided) are not properly closed.
An acoustic warning is also emitted with the doors open and the car in motion.
