ENGINE COOLANT HIGH TEMPERA-
TURE (red)

Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light

turns on, but it should go off after a few seconds. The
warning light turns on when the engine is overheated. If
the warning light comes on when driving, proceed as fol-
lows:
❒ in standard normal driving conditions: stop the car,

switch off the engine and check whether the water lev-
el in the reservoir is not below the MIN. mark. In this
case, wait for a few minutes for the engine to cool
down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top-up
with coolant and check that the level is between the
MIN. and MAX. marks on the reservoir itself. Also
check for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warn-
ing light should come on again, contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.

❒ In case of car heavy duty (e.g.: towing trailer uphill or

fully laden car): decrease speed, if the warning light stays
on, stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the en-
gine running and slightly accelerated to further accel-
erate the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine.
Check the correct liquid level as described above.
