FIAT CODE<br />
(amber)<br />
The warning light comes on in three<br />
cases (when the ignition key is at<br />
MAR):<br />
1. One flash - the key code has been<br />
recognised. The engine can be started.<br />
2. Fixed light - the key code has not<br />
been recognised. Follow the emergency<br />
procedure to start the engine<br />
(see “In an emergency”).<br />
3. Flashing - the vehicle is not protected<br />
by the device. The engine can<br />
however be started.<br />

WATER IN DIESEL<br />
FUEL (amber)<br />
(diesel versions)<br />
When there is water in the diesel filter.<br />
The light should come on when<br />
the ignition key is turned to MAR and<br />
go out after a few seconds.<br />
The presence of water in<br />
diesel fuel can cause severe<br />
damage to the engine<br />
fuel feed system. Consequently,<br />
you should go to a Fiat<br />
Dealership as soon as the c<br />
warning light comes on to have<br />
the system relieved. Warning<br />
light coming on immediately after<br />
refuelling probably indicates<br />
the presence of water in the tank:<br />
turn the engine off and contact a<br />
Fiat Dealership.<br />
ABS (WHEEL<br />
> ANTILOCKING<br />
SYSTEM)<br />
FAILURE (amber)<br />
The warning light comes on when<br />
there is a failure in the ABS system. In<br />
this case, the normal braking system<br />
continues to work although without<br />
the ABS assistance but you should<br />
have the vehicle seen to at a Fiat<br />
Dealership as soon as possible.<br />
The warning light should come on<br />
when the ignition key is turned to<br />
MAR and should go out after approximately<br />
2 seconds.<br />
WARNING<br />
Vehicles with ABS are fitted<br />
with electronic brakeforce<br />
distributor (EBD). The > and x<br />
warning lights come on at the same<br />
time when the engine is running to<br />
indicate that there is an EBD system<br />
failure. In this case violent<br />
braking may be accompanied by<br />
early rear wheel locking with the<br />
possibility of skidding. Drive extremely<br />
carefully to the nearest Fiat<br />
Dealership to have the system<br />
checked.
