Hello, I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with a problem I'm currently experiencing relating to my Fiat 500 (1.2 L). The dashboard warning lights for the air bags, seat belts and stop start function are constantly showing. In addition, when I first turn the engine on its showing the message "fuel cut off unavailable" but after a few seconds the message goes and the mileage reading keeps flashing but it appears to be driving ok. I've taken it to my local garage who carried out a diagnostic test but said that they can't find what the fault is and said I'd need to take it to a main dealer. Having already spend £45, I'm reluctant to spend a further £114 just to find out what the fault is. Is there anyone on the Forum that can help?

Welcome to the forum

THis Xmas tree effect is often caused by low battery voltage, which could be either down to a duff battery or an alternator on it's way out.

I've asked that this post be moved to the 500 section so that those with more specific experience can hopefully provide a more comprehensive answer.

Being new to the forum I wasn't aware there was a 500 section but do now so thanks for that.
