Injection system failure
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 injection system is not working prop-
erly; in particular, if the warning light comes on constant-
ly, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition system
that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible
loss of performance, poor driveability and high consump-
tion.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER

v warning light turns on and flashes along with the
message on the display (if applied) when the system de-
tects that the engine oil is exhausted. The flashing of the
warning light should not be considered as a fault, rather
simply informs the driver that oil needs to be changed af-
ter a standard period of car utilisation. If the oil is not
changed, when reaching a second deterioration threshold,
also the warning light
U

rioration threshold, the engine is limited at 1500 rpm to
avoid damage.

it is recommended to change the engine oil
