the engine oil and starts supplying indications
when the oil temperature reaches approximately
122°F (50°C).
Under normal usage, the temperature should
remain around the middle of the digital scale
according to the working conditions.

The Engine Oil Temperature warning light will
turn on to signal the excessive increase of the
engine oil temperature.
In the event of excessive engine oil temperature,
stop the engine immediately and contact an
authorized dealer.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The digital fuel gauge monitors the amount of
fuel in the tank.
When the Fuel Level warning light turns on, a
message is displayed, and a chime will sound
when 2.3 Gallons (9.0 L) of fuel are left in the
tank.
Proceeding further, the second white notch will
go off and the last one will become red, together
with the indication "E" present at the bottom of
the tank.Fuel Level Gauge

NOTE:
If the low fuel warning light turns on, refuel the
vehicle at your nearest fuel station.
SPEEDOMETER
The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in
miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour
(mph/km/h).

Power Steering Failure
If the telltale remains on, you may not
have steering assistance and the effort
required to operate the steering wheel
may be increased; steering is, however,
possible.

NOTE:
After the battery is disconnected, the steering
wheel must be initialized. The Power Steering
Failure light on the instrument panel will illumi-
nate to indicate this. To carry out this procedure,
simply turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other, and then turn it back to the
central position.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning
Light
This warning light, along with the related
message, signals a failure in the ETC.
If a failure is detected, the warning light turns on
while the engine is running.
Place the gear selector in the PARK (P) position
and the ignition in the off position: the warning
light should switch off. If the warning light stays
on with engine running, the vehicle can still be
driven.
If the warning light flashes with the engine
running, immediate intervention is required. A
loss of performance, irregular/high idling speed
or engine stopping might take place and the
vehicle may need to be towed.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the failure eliminated.
Engine Coolant Temperature Too High
The telltale lights up when the engine
has overheated.
In normal driving conditions : stop the car, turn off
the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case,
wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, fill with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any
fluid leaks. Contact an authorized dealer if the
telltale comes on when the engine is started
again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions
(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down
and, if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle.
Stop for two or three minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to facilitate
better coolant circulation, then turn the engine
off. Check that the coolant level is correct as
described above.
Hood Cap Not Properly Shut
The telltale turns on when the hood cap
is not properly closed, along with the
icon, an image of the vehicle with an
open hood cap appears on the display.
A buzzer is heard when the hood cap is open and
the vehicle is moving.
Close the hood properly.
Insufficient Engine Oil Level
The telltale turns on, along with the
related message on the display, to
indicate low engine oil level.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked.
Low Engine Oil Pressure
This telltale indicates low engine oil
pressure. If the telltale turns on while
driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the
engine as soon as possible. A chime will
sound when this telltale turns on. Do not operate
the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This
telltale does not indicate how much oil is in the
engine.

NOTE:
Do not use the vehicle until the failure has been
solved. The turning on of the telltale does not indi -
cate the amount of oil in the engine: the oil level
can be checked on the display upon entering the
vehicle and also by activating the “Oil level” func -
tion on the Information and Entertainment
System.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
If the LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE symbol
switches on when driving, stop the engine
immediately and contact an authorized dealer.

Trunk Lid Not Properly Shut
The telltale turns on when the trunk lid
is not properly closed, along with the
icon, an image of the vehicle with an
open trunk lid appears on the display.
A buzzer is heard when the trunk lid is open and
the vehicle is moving.
Close the trunk lid properly.
AMBER SYMBOLS
Engine Immobilizer Failure/Break-In
Attempt
Engine Immobilizer System Failure The
telltale will illuminate to report a failure
of the Engine Immobilizer system.
Break-In Attempt The telltale will illuminate when
the ignition is cycled to ON position, to indicate a
possible break-in attempt detected by the alarm
system.
Electronic Key Not Recognized The telltale will
illuminate when the engine is started and the
electronic key is not recognized by the system.
Alarm System Failure The telltale will illuminate to
report an alarm system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Fuel Cut-Off Indicator Light
The telltale will illuminate after an
accident has occurred and the system
has shut the fuel off.
For reactivating the fuel cut-off system

Ú
page 143. If it is not possible to restore the fuel
supply, contact an authorized dealer.
Park Sensors System Failure
The telltale will illuminate when the
system has failed or is not available.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked.

Engine Oil Change Required — If Equipped

The telltale is illuminated only for a
limited time.

NOTE:
After the first indication, each time the engine is
started the symbol will continue to illuminate as
described above until the oil is changed.
If the telltale flashes, this does not mean that
there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply
reports that it is now necessary to change the oil
as a result of regular use of the vehicle. The
deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using
the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the event of
engine oil pressure sensor failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Engine Oil Level Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the event of
engine oil level sensor failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) System
Failure — If Equipped
The telltale will illuminate in the case of
failure of the Forward Collision Warning
system.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Stop/Start System Failure
This telltale will illuminate to report a
Stop/Start system failure.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible
to have the failure eliminated.
Rain Sensor Failure
The telltale will illuminate in the case of
failure of the automatic windshield
wiper.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
CAUTION!
Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the symbol is switched
on, and never more than 500 miles (805 km)
after it first switches on. Failure to observe the
above may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the New Vehicle Limited
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.
