started (with the engine idling a brief delay before switching off is acceptable).
If the warning light or the symbol on the display (together with a dedicated message on the display on some versions)
remains on, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
DOORS/BONNET/LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN (versions with multifunction display)
The warning light appears on the display, together with a dedicated message, on some versions, when one or more doors,
the tailgate or the bonnet (for versions/markets, where provided) are not properly closed.
An acoustic signal is also emitted with the doors open and the car in motion.
INSUFFICIENT ENGINE OIL PRESSURE/DECAYED ENGINE OIL
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light (for versions/markets, where provided) switches on, but it should
switch off as soon as the engine is started.
NOTE For versions/markets, where provided, the indicator may be amber.

The warning light may flash in the following ways, depending on the version:
❑ cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning light off for 5 seconds until the oil is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the engine is started up, the warning light will continue to flash in the same mode, until
the oil is changed. A specific message will appear on the display (for versions/
markets, where provided) in addition to the warning light. The lighting of this warning light should not be considered as a
fault, it simply informs the customer that the oil needs to be changed following normal car use.
Engine oil deterioration is accelerated by:
❑ mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF regeneration process more frequent;
❑ use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reach its regular operating temperature;
❑ repeated interruption of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.
