and warning light Awill blink to indicate a
fault in the system. Go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the system checked.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE fig. 15
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working conditions.

is a failure in the airbag system.
On certain versions the dedicated message
is displayed.
¬If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the message
on the multifunctional display, where
provided) there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners may not be deployed
in case of impact or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they be deployed acci-
dentally. Contact Fiat Dealership im-
mediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
Failure of warning light ¬(warning light off) is indicat-
ed by warning light

senger airbag is off.
WARNING
HOT ENGINE
COOLANT (red)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light turns on, but it
should go off after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as
follows:
❒during normal travel: stop the car,
stop the engine and check that the wa-
ter level in the vessel is not under the
MINline. In this case, wait for a few
minutes for the engine to cool down
when slowly and carefully open the
cap, top-up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MINand
MAXreferences on the vessel itself.
Also check for leakages. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if the warning should come
on when the engine is started again.

❒In the case of demanding use (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or car at full
load): slow down and stop the car if
the warning light stays on. Stand for
2 or 3 minutes with the engine running
and slightly accelerated to promote a
better circulation of coolant. Then
stop the engine. Check correct liquid
level as described above.
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the
car, keep the engine on and slightly accel-
erated for few minutes before switching it
off.
On certain versions the dedicated message

DEMANDING USE
OF THE CAR
Should prevailing use of the car be under
one of the following specially heavy con-
ditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) re-
peated and with external temperatures
below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. taxis or
door-to-door deliveries) or in case of
a long term inactivity;
❒in cities;
perform the following inspections more
frequently than shown on the Service
Schedule:
❒check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level
(electrolyte) (see paragraph “Charge
level check” in chapter “Maintenance
and care”);
❒visually inspect the accessory drive belt
conditions;
❒check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒check air cleaner and replace, if re-
quired.
REGULAR
INSPECTIONS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/
washer system, position and wear of
the windscreen and rear window wiper
blades;
Every 3,000 km check the following and
top-up, if required:engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL
Seleniaproducts, designed and produced
specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Ca-
pacities” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”).

WINDSCREEN WASHING
FLUID fig. 6
To top up, remove the cap A.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35, in the fol-
lowing concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 50% water in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35fluid.
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 5
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must be between
the MINand MAXlines on the vessel.
fig. 5F0R0136mfig. 6
PARAFLU UP antifreeze is
used in the engine cooling sys-
tem. Use fluid of the same
type contained in the cooling
system for top-ups. PARAFLU UP may
not be mixed with other types of fluids.
If this accidentally occurs, do not start
the engine and contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If required, replace
the cap with an original spare part so
as not to compromise system effi-
ciency. Do not remove the cap from
the vessel when the engine is hot: risk
of burns.
WARNING
F0R0137m
If the level is low, slowly pour a 50% mix-
ture of demineralised water and FL Sele-
nia PARAFLU UPthrough filler Aof the
vessel until the level approaches the MAX
line.
The 50% concentration of PARAFLU UP
demineralised water protects from freez-
ing to a temperature of –35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.
Waste engine oil and oil filters
contains substances which are
dangerous for the environ-
ment. It is advisable to have
oil and filters changed by a Fiat Deal-
ership where they will be disposed of
according to the law.
Always top up using engine oil
of the same types as that al-
ready in the engine.
