WARNING
115) In the following situations, brake
performance may be compromised or the
vehicle may become unstable if brakes are
applied suddenly; consequently, avoid
driving at high speeds or applying the
brakes suddenly. Furthermore, immediately
the vehicle should be brought to a stop in a
safe location and we recommend you to
have it checked. 1 – The brake warning
lamp does not illuminate when the parking
brake is applied or does not turn off when
the parking brake is released. 2 – The
brake warning lamp and the ABS warning
lamp illuminate at the same time. For
details, refer to "ABS warning lamp". 3 –
The brake warning lamp remains
illuminated while driving.
116) The vehicle should be brought to a
halt in the following manner when brake
performance has deteriorated. 1 – Depress
the brake pedal harder than usual. Even if
the brake pedal moves down to the very
end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed
down hard. 2 – Should the brakes fail, use
engine braking to reduce your speed and
carefully pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.
IMPORTANT
46) This warning light
will flash after
starting or during prolonged cranking to
indicate a fault with the glow plug heating
system. If the engine starts, the vehicle can
be used as normal, but a Fiat Dealership
must be contacted as soon as possible.
47) If the diesel preheat indicator lamp
comes on after the engine is started, the
engine speed may not rise above the idling
speed because of fuel freezing. In this case,
keep the engine idling for about
10 minutes, then turn off the ignition switch
or put in OFF the operation mode, and
immediately turn it on or put in ON again to
confirm that the diesel preheat indicator
lamp is off.
48) When this indicator lamp blinks,
electronic stability control function or active
traction control function is operating, which
means that the road is slippery or that your
vehicle's wheels are beginning to slip. If this
happens, drive slower with less accelerator
input.
49) If an abnormal condition occurs in the
system while driving, the
indicator lamp
will illuminate. In these cases, follow these
procedures: 1 – If the temperature in the
braking system continues to increase due
to continuous brake control on a slippery
road surface, the
indicator lamp will
blink, and operation of the active traction
control function will be suspended to
protect the brake system (the engine
control of the traction control function and
normal brake operation will not be
affected.) Park your vehicle in a safe place.
When the temperature in the braking
system has come down, the indicator lamp
will go off and the electronic stability control
function and active traction control function
will start operating again. 2 – If the
indicator lamp does not go out even
through the above procedure is followed,
there could be a problem in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine again
and check whether the
indicator lamp
goes out. If the indicator lamp goes out,
there is no abnormal condition. 3 – If the
indicator lamp illuminates even after
your vehicle is driven a short distance after
re-starting the engine, we recommend you
to have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
50) Prolonged driving with this lamp on
may cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability.
51) If the lamp does not illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned to the "ON"
position or the operation mode is put in
ON, we recommend you to have the
system checked.
