Yellow warning lights

After turning the key to the ON position, the warning light comes on but should go out after a few seconds. The warning light comes on (in some versions a corresponding message also appears on the display) when this system is faulty. In this case the braking system remains fully operational, but the ABS system cannot provide proper performance. Take care and contact a Fiat Authorised Service Centre as soon as possible.

The warning light located in the centre of the dashboard comes on when the front passenger airbag is switched off. When the front passenger airbag is enabled, after turning the key to the ON position the warning light comes on for a few seconds, then should go out.

Under normal conditions, after turning the key to the ON position the warning light comes on but should go out just after the engine starts. If the warning light does not go out or comes on while driving, it indicates an imperfect operation of the fuel/ignition system, which may cause reduced performance, high emissions, unsatisfactory driving behaviour and high fuel consumption. In some versions a special message appears on the display. Under these conditions you may continue your journey, but avoid overloading the engine or driving at high speeds. Driving for a long time with the warning light on may cause damage: contact a Fiat Authorised Service Centre as soon as possible. The warning light will go out once the fault is rectified, but the system will store this warning.

WARNING: On petrol engines, if the warning light flashes, the catalytic converter is probably damaged. If the warning light flashes, release the accelerator pedal and reduce engine speed until the light stops flashing; continue driving at a moderate speed, avoiding driving that may cause the light to flash again, and contact a Fiat Authorised Service Centre as soon as possible.

After turning the key to the ON position the warning light comes on but should go out after a few seconds. If the warning light does not go out or stays on while driving (in some versions a corresponding message also appears on the display), contact a Fiat Authorised Service Centre. The warning light flashing while driving means the ESC system is intervening.

After turning the key to the ON position the warning light comes on (in some versions a special message also appears on the display) in the event of a Hill Holder system fault, but should go out after a few seconds. In this case contact a Fiat Authorised Service Centre as soon as possible. In some versions the alternative warning light will come on instead..

WARNING If the ambient temperature is high, the warning light will come on only briefly and may not be noticed.

Glow plug preheating fault: the warning light flashes (in some versions together with a special message on the display), indicating a fault in the glow plug preheating system. Contact a Fiat authorised dealer as soon as possible.

After turning the key to the MAR position, the warning light comes on but should go off after a few seconds. The warning light comes on steadily (in some versions a special message also appears on the display) to indicate that the DPF needs to be cleaned of accumulated pollutants (particulate matter) by a regeneration process.

The warning light does not come on every time the DPF carries out regeneration, but only when driving conditions require the driver to be informed. To switch the light off, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is complete. The regeneration process usually lasts about 15 minutes on average. Optimal conditions for completing the process are reached by driving at a speed of 60 km/h and engine speed above 2000 rpm. The warning light coming on does not indicate a vehicle fault, so there is no need to take the vehicle to a workshop.

Fuel cut-off system intervention: the warning light comes on (in some versions a corresponding message also appears on the display) when the fuel cut-off system intervenes or malfunctions.

Start&Stop fault: the warning light comes on when an anomaly is detected in the Start&Stop system (in some versions a special message also appears on the display and the icon ).

Parking sensor fault: the warning light comes on (in some versions a special message also appears on the display) when an anomaly is detected in the parking sensors.

Contact a Fiat authorised dealer as soon as possible.

Engine oil pressure sensor fault: this warning light indicates a fault in the engine oil pressure sensor (in versions where provided, a special message also appears on the display). Contact a Fiat authorised dealer as soon as possible.

iTPMS system fault: the warning light comes on (in some versions a special message also appears on the display) when an anomaly is detected in the iTPMS tyre pressure monitoring system. Contact a Fiat authorised dealer as soon as possible. If one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted, the warning light in the instrument cluster will remain on until wheels with sensors are fitted.

Rain sensor fault: the warning light comes on (in some versions a special message also appears on the display) when an anomaly is detected in the rain sensor. Contact a Fiat authorised dealer as soon as possible.

The warning light comes on when there is approximately 7 litres of fuel left in the tank.

WARNING If the warning light flashes while driving, this indicates that a fault has occurred in the system.

In this case, contact an authorised Fiat Service Center to have the system checked.

Insufficient tyre pressure: The warning light stays on steadily to indicate that the pressure in a tyre is lower than the recommended value, in order to ensure the best possible tyre life and optimum fuel consumption, or to signal a slow pressure loss. In this way the iTPMS system warns the driver of a possible pressure drop in one or more tyres, and therefore a possible puncture. In this case, it is recommended that the correct tyre pressure be restored. Once normal driving conditions have been restored, carry out the reset procedure.

WARNING Do not continue driving with one or more punctured tyres, as driving the vehicle is dangerous. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sudden braking and steering.

iTPMS system fault / iTPMS system temporarily disabled: The warning light flashes for approximately 75 seconds, then stays on steadily (a special message also appears on the display) to indicate that the system is temporarily disabled or faulty. The system works correctly again when the operating conditions allow it; if not, carry out the tyre reset procedure once normal operating conditions have been restored. If the malfunction warning persists, contact an authorised Fiat Service Center as soon as possible.

The warning light comes on when the rear fog light is switched on.
