EOBD ENGINE<br />
FAILURE CONTROL<br />
SYSTEM<br />
(petrol versions only) (amber)<br />
In normal conditions, the warning<br />
light will come on when the ignition<br />
key is turned to MAR and should go<br />
out as soon as the engine is started.<br />
The initial lighting up shows that the<br />
warning light is working properly.<br />
If the warning light either stays on or<br />
comes on while travelling:<br />
1. Fixed light - warning of a fuel<br />
feed/ignition system failure which may<br />
increase emissions in exhaust or cause<br />
possible drops in performance, poor<br />
handling and high consumption.<br />
In such conditions, you can continue<br />
driving but you should not tax the<br />
engine and you should moderate the<br />
speed. Prolonged use with the warning<br />
light on can cause damage. Contact<br />
a Fiat Dealershipas soon as possible.<br />
The warning light will go out when<br />
the failure disappears. In any case, the<br />
system will store the error.<br />
2. Flashing - warning that the catalyst<br />
can be damaged (see “EOBD system”<br />
in this chapter).<br />
If the warning light starts flashing, release<br />
the accelerator pedal and slow<br />
the engine until the warning light stops<br />
flashing. Continue driving at moderate<br />
speed, preventing the warning light<br />
from coming on again. Contact a Fiat<br />
Dealership as soon as possible.<br />
U U<br />
Contact a Fiat Dealership<br />
as soon as possible if<br />
the U warning light either<br />
does not come on when the<br />
key is turned to MAR or comes<br />
on, with fixed light or flashing<br />
light, when travelling. Warning<br />
light U operation can be checked<br />
by means of special equipment by<br />
traffic agents. Always comply<br />
with the road traffic regulations<br />
in force in the Country where you<br />
are travelling.<br />
INJECTION SYSTEM<br />
FAILURE<br />
(diesel versions) (red)<br />
When there is a fault in the injection<br />
system.<br />
The warning light should come on<br />
when the ignition key is turned to<br />
MAR and go out after a few seconds.<br />
The warning light will stay on or come<br />
on when travelling to indicate imperfect<br />
operation of the injection system with<br />
possible loss of performance, poor handling<br />
and higher consumption.<br />
In these conditions, you can continue<br />
driving but you should avoid demanding<br />
efforts from the engine or<br />
high speeds. Contact a Fiat Dealership<br />
as soon as possible.<br />
Prolonged use of the vehicle with the<br />
warning light on can cause damage to<br />
the engine, especially in the event of<br />
misfiring. The vehicle can only be driven<br />
for a short period of time at low<br />
speeds.<br />
Occasional and brief lighting of the<br />
warning light is meaningless.<br />
