Operation Manual

EOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
Under normal conditions, the warning light comes
on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
should go off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst
driving, it means that the injection 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 fuel consumption.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
Under these conditions, you may continue travelling
at moderate speed without demanding excessive
effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause damage. Contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
FOR PETROL ENGINES ONLY
If the warning light is flashing, this indicates that the
catalytic converter may be damaged.
If the light flashes, it is necessary to release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine
until the warning light stops flashing; continue the
journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving
conditions that may cause further flashing and
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible if warning light
either does
not light up when the key is turned to
MAR or if while travelling the warning light
comes on either constantly or blinking (along
with a message on the display on some versions).
The operation of warning light
may be
checked by the traffic police using specific
devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of
the country where you are driving.
