Red warning lights

This warning light comes on when the vehicle is stationary and the driver's seat belt is not fastened.

This warning light flashes and an audible signal (buzzer) sounds when the vehicle is moving and the front seat belts are not properly fastened.

To permanently disable the audible signal (buzzer) of the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system, contact an authorised Fiat dealer. In some versions the system can be reactivated via the settings menu.

This warning light comes on (in some versions a corresponding message appears on the display) when one or more doors, the bonnet or the boot lid are not properly closed. When the vehicle is moving and a door is open, an audible signal sounds.

When the key is turned to the MAR (ON) position, the warning light comes on but should go off after a few seconds.

Insufficient brake fluid: this warning light comes on when the brake fluid level is below the minimum level mark, which may indicate a brake fluid leak. In some versions a specific message also appears on the display.

This warning light comes on when the parking brake is applied. If the vehicle is moving, a corresponding audible signal also sounds.

WARNING If this light comes on while driving, check that the parking brake is not applied.

Simultaneous illumination of warning lights(red) and
(yellow-orange) with the engine running indicates a fault in the EBD system or that the system is unavailable. In this case, the rear wheels may lock during sudden braking, with a risk of skidding. In some versions a specific message also appears on the display. Drive the vehicle with great care and contact an authorised Fiat dealer immediately to have the system checked.

When the key is turned to the MAR (ON) position, the warning light comes on but should go off after a few seconds. If the warning light stays on, there is a fault in the airbag system. In some versions a specific message also appears on the display.

When the key is turned to the MAR (ON) position, the warning light comes on but should go off after a few seconds. The warning light comes on when the engine oil level drops below the minimum permitted level. Top up the engine oil to the correct level. In some versions a specific message also appears on the display.

Insufficient engine oil pressure: the indicator lamp comes on steadily (in some versions a specific message also appears on the display) when the system detects insufficient engine oil pressure.

The flashing of the indicator lamp should not be considered a vehicle fault, as it is intended to notify the user that normal use of the vehicle has made it necessary to replace the oil. In some versions, if the oil is not replaced after reaching the second wear threshold, the indicator lamp will also come on in the instrument cluster
and engine operation will be limited to 3000 rpm. If the oil is still not replaced, after reaching the third wear threshold, engine speed will be limited to 1500 rpm to prevent damage.

Engine oil wears out more quickly in the following circumstances:

• predominantly city driving, which causes the DPF regeneration process to occur more often;
• driving over short distances that prevent the engine from reaching its correct operating temperature;
• repeated interruptions of the regeneration process, indicated by the DPF warning lamp coming on.

After turning the key to the MAR position, the indicator lamp comes on, but it should go out after a few seconds. This indicator lamp comes on (in some versions a corresponding message also appears on the display) when the engine is overheating.

During normal driving: stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully unscrew the cap, top up the coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir. Also visually check for any coolant leaks. If the indicator lamp comes on again when the engine is next started, contact an authorised Fiat dealer.

When using the vehicle in particularly demanding conditions (for example, towing a trailer uphill or driving with a fully loaded vehicle): reduce speed and, if the lamp remains on, stop the vehicle. Wait 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running at slightly increased revs to speed up coolant circulation, then switch off the engine. Check that the coolant level is correct, as described above. In some versions, a specific message also appears on the display.

WARNING After very intensive driving, it is recommended not to switch off the engine, but to leave it running at slightly increased revs for a few minutes before switching it off.

After turning the key to the ON position, the warning light comes on but should go out after a few seconds. The warning light on the instrument cluster flashes (at the same time a special message appears on the display and an audible signal sounds) when a gearbox fault is detected.

In addition, the following messages may appear on the display: limit gear changes, manual mode unavailable, automatic mode unavailable, clutch overheating, press clutch pedal, press brake pedal - start delayed, gear unavailable, manoeuvre not permitted, press brake pedal and repeat manoeuvre, set gear selector lever to neutral (N).
