ENGINE CONTROL
SYSTEM FAILURE
(EOBD) (amber)
In normal conditions, the warning
light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR and should go
out as soon as the engine is started.
The initial lighting up shows that the
warning light is working properly.
If the warning light either stays on or
comes on while travelling:
1. Fixed light - warning of a fuel
feed/ignition system failure which may
increase emissions in exhaust or cause
possible drops in performance, poor
handling and high consumption. In such
conditions, you can continue driving
but you should not tax the engine and
you should moderate the speed. Pro-
longed use with the warning light on
can cause damage. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light will go out when
the failure disappears. In any case, the
system will store the error.
ENGINE OIL
PRESSURE TOO
LOW (red)
When the pressure of the oil in the
engine falls below the normal level.
The light comes on when you turn
the ignition key to MAR but it should
go out when the engine starts.
A delay in the light going out is ac-
ceptable only when the engine is idling.
If the engine has been taxed heavily,
the light might flash when idling but
should go out on accelerating slightly.
