Meaning of the dashboard lights on a Fiat 500

In this video we see the meaning of most of the dashboard lights of a Fiat 500. In general, when a red light comes on, we should stop as soon as possible, because it indicates an imminent danger. When a yellow light comes on, it's something to keep an eye on, but we have time to get to the workshop.

Green lights mean that a function is active, while the blue one indicates that the high beams are on. On the left side we find the fuel indicator, with the arrow telling us where the cap is. On the right side we have the coolant temperature indicator.

Further to the left, there are a series of lights: if the engine overheats, the icon of a thermometer floating on water will appear.

In the center, a snowflake lights up if the temperature drops below 4°C: danger of ice on the road. The wrench means we need to do maintenance.

Going clockwise, we find the start & stop icon, front fog lights, rear fog lights, low beams, high beams, turn signals, running out of fuel, airbag system failure, open door, seatbelt not fastened, battery not charging, power steering problem, and finally a generic warning symbol.

On the other side we find a warning for low oil pressure.

We then find the engine malfunction light; if it flashes while the vehicle is in motion, it is a particularly serious fault. The next light we have already talked about, the following one is the brake light, but it also warns us when the handbrake is pulled.

Below we have the ABS light, even further down is the stability control light, and finally the tire pressure monitoring light.
