Indicator Light - Fiat 500 User Manual

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the
ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable;
however, see an authorized dealer immediately. If the light is flashing when the engine
is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced perfor-
mance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
• This light indicates the ESC system has been turned off by the driver.
Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch. This mode is intended
for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired. It is also intended for
driving in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin than ESC would
normally allow is required to gain traction. To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the
switch again. This will restore the normal ESC On mode of operation.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on
public roadways. In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned OFF, except
for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section. To enter the "Full Off" mode,
depress and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds. After five seconds, the ESC OFF
Indicator Light will illuminate, and the "ESC OFF" message will display in the EVIC. To turn
ESC ON again, momentarily press the ESC OFF switch.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction

Indicator Light

• The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" in the instrument cluster will come on
for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. If the
"ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" comes on continuously with the engine run-
ning, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on, see your
authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
