General Warnings; Low Brake Fluid Level; Handbrake Applied; Airbag Failure - Fiat Idea Owner's Handbook Manual

GENERAL WARNINGS

Lighting of a warning light is associated to
a specific message and/or buzzer when ap-
plicable. These indications are brief and
precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alterna-
tive to the information contained in the
Owner's Handbook, which you are re-
commended to read carefully in all cases.
Refer to the information in this section in
the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications on the
display fall into one of two categories: se-
rious failure and less serious failure.
A warning cycle will be repeated in case
of severe failures until the case of the
problem is eliminated.
A shorter warning cycle will be run in ca-
se of less severe faults.
Press MODE to stop the warning cycle in
both cases. The warning light on the in-
strument panel will stay on until the cau-
se of the failure is eliminated.
