WARNING
Failure of the warning light
is
indicated by warning light.In
addition, the air bag system automatically
disables the passenger air bags (both front and
side air bags, for versions/markets, where
provided). Contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
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 travelling normally: stop the vehicle, stop
the engine and check that the coolant level in
the vessel is not under the MIN line. If it is, wait
for a few minutes to allow the engine to cool
down, then slowly and carefully open the vessel
cap. Top up with coolant fluid making sure that the
liquid level is included between the MIN and
MAX lines on the vessel. Also 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 accelerated to assist better
coolant circulation. Then switch the engine off.
Check correct fluid level in the vessel as described
above.
IMPORTANT On particularly demanding journeys, 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.

❒engine coolant level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlamps, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen wash/wipe system and

❒engine often idling, or driving long distances at low
speed (e.g. door to door deliveries) or long period
of idleness;

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
The coolant level should be checked when the
engine is cold and should be between the MIN and
MAX lines on the vessel.
If the level is low, pour into the vessel through cap A
fig. 169 a 50% mixture of demineralised water and
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS PARAFLU
UP
.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UP
and 50% distilled
water protects against freezing down to
temperatures of -35°C. For particularly harsh climate
conditions, we recommended using a mixture of
60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40% distilled water.
WARNING
Do not remove the tank cap when the
engine is very hot as there is a risk
of scalding.The cooling system is pressurised. If
the cap needs replacing, do so with another
original or the effectiveness of the system may
be compromised.PARAFLU
UP
antifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type contained in the cooling system
for top-ups. PARAFLUUP
should not be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this happens, do
not start the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
