OVERHEATED ENGINE COOLANT

(red)

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the

warning light turns on but should go off after a few

seconds.

The warning light turns on when the engine is overheated.

If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❒ when driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the

engine and check that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark. If it is not, 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. Al-
so visually check for leaks. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
the warning light comes on again when the engine is
next started.

❒ if the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.

towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and,
if the light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or
three minutes with the engine running and slightly ac-
celerated to assist better coolant circulation. Then
switch the engine off. Check the correct fluid level as
described previously.

IMPORTANT On demanding routes, it is advisable to keep
the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes
before switching it off.

A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

BATTERY CHARGE LOW (red)

The warning light comes on when the ignition

key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as

soon as the engine has started (with the engine run-

ning at idle speed a brief delay before going out is accept-
able).

If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership im-
mediately.
