If while turning the ignition
key in the MAR position, the
U
light dose not turn on or
if while driving it illuminates

equipment by traffic control agents.

the country in which you are circulat-
ing.
In this case you can continue to drive
though try to avoid either putting the en-
gine under stress or high speeds. The pro-
longed use of the vehicle with the warning
light on could cause damages. Reach as
soon as possible the Abarth Dealership.
The light turns off if the problem disap-
pears, but the system memorizes the re-
port.

controls” chapter).
In case of flashing light one must release the
accelerator pedal, in order to reach low
speeds, until the light turns off, continue
at moderate speed trying to avoid driving
conditions that can cause further flashing
of the light. Reach the Abarth Dealership
as soon as possible.

Under normal conditions,
turning the ignition key in the MAR po-
sition, the light turns on, but it should turn
off as soon as the engine is started. The ini-
tial illumination indicates the correct func-
tioning of the light.
If the light does not turn off or if it turns on
while driving:
❒
fixed light (no flashing): this indicates
malfunctioning in the supply/ignition
system that could cause high emissions
from the exhaust pipe, possible loss
of performance, bad driveability and
high fuel consumption.
The display visualizes the specific message.
