sharply.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected.

120
limit set in the Setup Menu (e.g. 120 km/h).
PASSENGER AIRBAG/SIDE BAGS DEACTIVATED

key turned to MAR position), the LED turns on for about 8 seconds, provided that at least 5 seconds have elapsed from

when it was switched off. If not, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the engine is switched off/on again in less than 5 seconds the warning light may remain off.
In this case, to check correct warning light operation, switch the engine off, wait for at least 5 seconds and switch the
engine on again.
The warning light may light up with various intensity levels depending on the vehicle conditions.
The intensity may also vary during the same key cycle.
ABS FAILURE
When the key is turned to the MAR position the warning light comes on but should go out after a few seconds.

The warning light comes on, on some versions along with a message on the display, when the system is inefficient or not
available. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system.
