WARNING

HIGH TEMPERATURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warn-
ing light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
The flashing of the warning lights indi-
cates a level of engine coolant which is
too low.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as
follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop
the vehicle, switch off the engine and
check whether the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN
mark. Otherwise wait for few sec-
onds to allow the engine cooling,
then open slowly and carefully the
cap, top up coolant and check
whether its level is falling between
MINand MAXmarks in the reser-
voir. Check visually for any leak. If,
when restarting, the warning light
comes on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
