When you drive a vehicle for a while, eventually you are bound to notice a warning light or two might appear. While we would all love for our vehicles to be in perfect condition for as long as possible, driving does wear out parts of our beloved vehicles, and the Fiat 500X is no exception. If you’re wondering what your dashboard warning light means, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to learn what each of the 2016 Fiat 500X dashboard warning lights mean!
Fiat 500X Warning Light Meanings
This light shows the status of your electrical charging system. If this light comes on, it is not advised that you continue driving. Bring it in for service immediately.
This light indicates that the transmission fluid might overheat with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, it is important to stop the vehicle and run it in idle until the light turns off. Then you may continue driving.
This light comes on if your Fiat detects a failure in the electric parking brake. This requires attention from a Fiat professional.
This light could indicate trouble with a number of systems including the brake fluid level. If the parking brake is not being used and this light remains on, bring your Fiat in to see the technician as brake issues can become dangerous.
This light informs you of an issue with the Electronic Throttle Control system. If the light is on while you are driving, the need for attention isn’t immediate, but if the light is flashing, you might need to tow it to the service center.
This light warns of an overheated engine. If the light comes on, pull over and stop the vehicle, and turn off the A/C. If the temperature does not drop to normal, or continues to overheat, we recommend you have it serviced immediately.
