IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when the
vehicle is in motion, check that the handbrake is
not engaged.
The simultaneous switching on of the
(amber) and (amber) 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. Drive very
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the
system inspected immediately. On some versions the
display shows the dedicated message.
ABS FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on (on some versions,
with a message on the display and a symbol on
the display) when the system is not efficient. In this
case the braking system maintains its own 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 MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly (on some
versions, with a message on the display and a symbol
on the display) to indicate an airbag system fault.
WARNING
If, when turning the key to MAR, the
warning light
stays on whilst driving, a fault may be present in
the restraint systems. In this case the airbags
or pretensioners may not be deployed in an
impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may
be deployed accidentally. Before continuing,
contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
