WARNING LIGHTS

AND MESSAGES

GENERAL WARNINGS

Warning lights are accompanied by a spe-
cific message and/or sound when applica-
ble. These indications are synthetic and
precautionary and, as such, must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alterna-
tive to the information contained in this
Owner Handbook, which you are rec-
ommended to read carefully in all cases.
Refer to the information in this section if
a fault is signalled.
IMPORTANT The fault indications ap-
pearing on the display are divided into two
categories: very serious and less seri-
ous failures.
Very serious failures are indicated by
a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle".
Less serious failures are indicated by
a shorter warning "cycle".
Press MENU ESC to stop the warning
cycle in both cases. Warning lights on the
instrument panel will stay on until the
cause of the failure is eliminated.
For messages relevant to the versions
equipped with a Dualogic gearbox, see the
attached Supplement.

LOW BRAKE FLUID
x
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,
the warning light turns on but should go
off after a few seconds.

Low brake fluid level

The warning light comes on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level due to possible
leaks in the circuit.
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
WARNING
If the warning light x turns
on when travelling (togeth-
er with the message on the display on
certain versions), stop the car imme-
diately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Handbrake on

The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is engaged.
If the car is moving, an audible warning will
also sound on certain versions.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes
on with the vehicle in motion, check that
the handbrake is not engaged.
