In normal conditions, turning the ignition key to  
MAR, the warning light turns on, but it should go off  
when the engine has started. The initial turning on  
indicates that the warning light is working properly.  
If the warning light stays on or turns on when  
travelling (on certain versions together with the  
message on the display):  
glowing steadily - means a fault in the  
supply/ignition system which could cause high  
emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of

In these conditions it is possible to continue driving  
without however requiring heavy effort or high  
speed from the engine. Prolonged use of the car  
with the warning light on may cause damages.  
Contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
