SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber yellow)
Under normal conditions, when
the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light comes on, but should go off
as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or comes
on whilst driving, this means that the in-
jection system is not working properly;
in particular, if the warning light comes on
constantly, this indicates a malfunction in
the supply/ignition system that could cause
excessive exhaust emissions, a possible
loss of performance, poor driveability and
high consumption.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
In these conditions, the vehicle can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed with-
out demanding excessive effort from the
engine. The prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on constantly could
cause damage so it is advisable to go to a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out if the malfunc-
tion disappears, but the system still mem-
orizes the problem.
Petrol engines only
Warning light turning on flashing indicates
the possibility of damage to the catalyst.
