IF THE ENGINE
OVERHEATS
The engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the en-
gine coolant temperature gauge indicates
overheating during driving:
❒Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
❒Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
❒Let the engine run at the normal idle
speed for a few minutes until the indi-
cator is within the normal, acceptable
temperature range between “H” and
“C”.
IF THE ENGINE IS
FLOODED
If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine. (Do not operate the starter mo-
tor for more than 15 seconds).
If you see or hear escaping
steam, stop the vehicle in a
safe place and immediately turn off
the engine to let it cool. Do not open
the hood when steam is present.
When the steam can no longer be
seen or heard, open the hood to see
if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you
must wait until it stops boiling before
you proceed.
WARNING
IF THE STARTER DOES
NOT OPERATE
❒Try turning the ignition switch to the
“START” position with the headlights
turned on to determine the battery
condition. If the headlights go exces-
sively dim or go off, it usually means
that either the battery is flat or the bat-
tery terminal contact is poor. Recharge
the battery or correct battery terminal
contact as necessary.
❒If the headlights remain bright, check
the fuses. If the reason for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the ve-
hicle inspected by your authorized
Fiat Dealership.
