The exclamation point or the "BRAKE" instrument panel symbol can be used on various models of the Fiat 500. The light should illuminate until the engine starts. If the light stays on, it means the parking brake is on, or there is not enough brake fluid in the reservoir. If the light illuminates and the parking brake is not applied, the braking may be faulty. Seek help from a Fiat technician immediately.
When you switch the ignition to the MAR position, the ABS (Antilock Brake System) light will come on and go off shortly after the engine starts. If the light illuminates while driving, the ABS system has failed. ABS is a separate braking aid for regular brakes and works independently. Normal brakes will continue to function as usual, although please contact a Fiat dealer soon.
The symbol should come on with the ignition at MAR and go out shortly after that. If the sign stays on or lights up while driving, this means a failure in the ignition/supply system that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, possible loss of performance, poor vehicle drivability and high fuel consumption. The vehicle can still be driven; the system remedy is required soon. Constant use of the car with the warning light on can cause damage.
The "gear" containing an exclamation point is a failure detected with the automatic transmission/gearbox. The light will illuminate on the dash along with an audible buzzer.

If the light stays on, have the vehicle's fault codes checked with the diagnostic kit to correct the malfunction.
