HANDBRAKE ON (red)  
On certain versions, if the vehicle is mov-  
ing the buzzer will also sound.  
When the ignition key is moved to MAR,  
the warning light turns on and should go  
off after a few seconds.  
GENERAL WARNINGS  
Lighting of a warning light is associated to  
a specific message and/or buzzer when ap-  
plicable. These indications are brief and  
precautionary and as such must not be  
considered as exhaustive and/or alterna-  
tive to the information contained in the  
Owner’s Handbook, which you are rec-  
ommended to read carefully in all cases.  
Refer to the information in this section in  
the event of a failure indication.  
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on  
when travelling, check that the handbrake  
is not engaged.  
Low brake fluid level  
The warning light turns on when the lev-  
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls  
below the minimum level due to possible  
leaks in the circuit.  
On certain versions the dedicated mes-  
sage is displayed.  
IMPORTANT Failure indications on the  
display fall into either of two categories:  
serious failure and less serious failure.

Serious failures are indicated by a re-

sage on the display) stop the vehicle

ership.  
Less serious failures are indicated by a  
limited warning “cycle”.  
Press MENU ESC to stop the warning  
cycle in both cases. The warning light (or  
symbol on the display) on the instrument  
panel will stay on until the cause of the fail-  
ure is eliminated.

❒ In demanding vehicle use condi-

hicle at full load): slow down and stop  
the vehicle if the warning light stays on.  
Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine  
running and slightly accelerated to  
favour better coolant circulation. Then  
stop the engine. Check correct liquid  
level as described above.

The warning light turns on when the en-  
gine is overheated.  
If the warning light stays on glowing steadi-  
ly, immediately contact the Fiat Dealer-  
ship.  
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the ve-  
hicle, keep the engine on and slightly ac-  
celerated for a few minutes before switch-  
ing it off. On certain versions the dedi-  
cated message is displayed.  
If the warning light comes on, proceed as  
follows:  
❒ during normal travel: stop the ve-  
hicle, stop the engine and check that the  
water level in the vessel is not under  
the MIN reference line. In this case, wait  
for a few minutes for the engine to cool  
down, then slowly and carefully open  
the cap, top-up with coolant and check  
that the level is between the MIN and  
MAX references on the vessel itself. Al-  
so check for leakages. Go to a Fiat  
Dealership if the warning should come  
on when the engine is started again.  
On certain versions the dedicated mes-  
sage is displayed.

travel, the following applies.  
Injection system failure  
❒ Steady light: indicates a fault in the sup-  
ply/ignition system which could cause  
high emissions at the exhaust, possible  
reduced performances, poor drivabili-  
ty and high fuel consumption levels.
