Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Failure
The simultaneous turning on of the
BRAKE (red) and ABS (amber) 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 vehicle
may swerve when braking abruptly.
Oil Temperature Warning Light
This warning light indicates engine oil
temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon
as possible. If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.
AMBER WARNING LIGHTS
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning
Light
This light monitors the ABS. The light will
turn on when the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position and may stay on
for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while
driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the brake
system is not functioning and service is required.
However, the conventional brake system will
continue to operate normally if the red BRAKE
warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be
serviced as soon as possible to restore the
benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes. If the ABS light does
not turn on when the ignition is placed in the ON/
RUN position, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Indicator Light — If Equipped
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the
indicator light illuminates, but should
turn off as soon as the engine is started.
ESC System Intervention : Intervention by the
system is indicated by the flashing of the
indicator light: it indicates that the vehicle is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
ESC System Failure: If the indicator light does not
turn off, or if it stays on with the engine running,
a failure was found in the ESC system.
Hill Start Assist System Failure : The illumination
of the indicator light indicates a Hill Start Assist
system failure.
In these cases, contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Indicator Light — If Equipped
When the ignition is cycled to ON, the
indicator light illuminates, but should
turn off as soon as the engine is started.
The indicator light illuminates to indicate that
some active safety systems have been partially or
totally deactivated

Ú
page 129.
When the active safety systems are reactivated,
the indicator light turns off.
WARNING!
If the warning light does not turn on when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position or
if it stays on when driving (together with the
message on the display), there might be a
malfunction in the restraint systems; This
could mean the air bags or pretensioners
may not deploy in the event of an accident or,
they could deploy erroneously. This could
result in serious injuries or death. Have the
vehicle checked by qualified technician
immediately.
Driving a vehicle with a red brake warning
light on is dangerous. Part of the brake
system may have failed. It will take longer to
stop the vehicle in such circumstances. This
could result in a collision and serious injuries
or death. Have the vehicle checked by a
qualified technician immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with a red brake warning light
on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the
vehicle in such circumstances. This could
result in a collision and serious injuries or
death. Have the vehicle checked by a qualified
technician immediately.

Brake Disc Temperature
When the symbol turns on, it indicates
an excessive temperature of the brake
discs. Let the breaking system cool
down by reducing the speed.
Driver Attention Assist (DAA) System
Activation — If Equpped
The DAA system detects indications that
the driver is feeling fatigued and
illuminates this warning that the driver
should pull over and take a break.
Stop to pause while driving, pulling the car over in
safe conditions.
Door Open
The telltale turns on when one or more
doors are not completely shut. An
acoustic signal is activated with the
doors open and the car moving.
Close the doors properly.
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 re-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 previously.
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.

CAUTION!
Driving the vehicle with this symbol on may
severely damage the gearbox, with resulting
breakage. The oil may also overheat: contact
with hot engine or with exhaust components
at high temperature could cause fires.
