KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL 58 WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic warning. 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. In the event of a failure indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter. WARNING The failure indicators appearing on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious faults. Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
Warning lights on panel What it means What to do red LOW BRAKE FLUID / HANDBRAKE APPLIED / LOW BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM The warning light switches on when the key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds. 44) Low brake fluid level The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possibly due to a leak in the circuit. On some versions the display shows the dedicated message. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has switched off. If the warning light turns on when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display) stop the vehicle immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership. Handbrake engaged The warning light switches on when the handbrake is engaged. On certain versions, if the vehicle is moving an acoustic signal will also sound. If the warning light comes on while driving, check that the handbrake is not on. Release the handbrake, then check that the warning light has switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership. |
