IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when the
car is in motion, check that the handbrake is not
on.
The simultaneous switching on of the
(amber) and ESC warning lights with the engine
on, indicates either a failure of the EBD system or
that the system is not available.
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
A dedicated message is displayed on certain versions.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected immediately.
ABS SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position illuminates
the warning light, but it should switch off after a
few seconds.
The warning light switches on (on some versions,
together with a message and a symbol on the display)
when the system is not efficient. In this case the
braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but
without the advantage of the ABS system.
Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
EBD FAILURE (red)
(amber)
(red),
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position illuminates
the warning light, but it should switch off after a
few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly (on some
versions, together with a message and a symbol
on the display) to indicate an airbag system fault.
WARNING
If the warning light
when the key is turned to the MAR-ON
position or if it remains lit while driving, there
may be a problem with the airbag restraint
system. In this case, the airbags or pretensioners
may not be activated in the event of an
accident or, in a more limited number of cases,
may be activated when not necessary. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
