Get Knowing the Instrument Panel -> Warning Indicator Lamps Guide for Fiat 600 SUV Second Generation (2023-2026)

WARNING INDICATOR LAMPS

WARNING Warning lights may be accompanied by a specific message and/or sound when implemented on the instrument

panel. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative

to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the

information in this section in the event of a failure indication.

Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a malfunction (warning lamps)

or of the operating status of a system (operation or deactivation indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two ways (fixed or

flashing) and/or in several colours.

When a failure is detected in the sound module

appears in the instrument panel display, accompanied by a display

message. No warning chime will sound, also not for the driver assistance systems.

Associated warnings

The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied by an audible signal and/or a message displayed in a screen.

Relating the type of alert to the operating status of the vehicle allows you to determine whether the situation is normal or

whether a fault has occurred: refer to the description of each lamp for further information.

When the ignition is switched on

Certain red or orange warning lamps come on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. These warning lamps should

go off as soon as the engine is started.

For more information on a system or a function, refer to the corresponding section.

Persistent warning lamp

If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there may be fault which needs further investigation.

If a lamp remains lit

The tables in the next pages indicate whether you should contact a Fiat Dealership in addition to the immediate recommended
