INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant
fluid and starts working when the fluid temperature
exceeds approx. 50°C. In normal use, the needle
could assume different positions within the scale,
depending on the usage conditions.
C - Low engine coolant temperature.
H - High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B fig. 14 may switch on (together with
a message on the display) to indicate that the coolant
temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.If the needle for the engine coolant
temperature reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the
procedure.
If the
warning light remains on together with
warning light
when the ignition key is at MAR,
turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light stays on, try with the other keys
provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine, perform an
emergency start (see “Emergency starting” in the “In
an emergency” section) and go to a Fiat Dealership.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
apply the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
turn the key on (MAR position): instrument panel
warning light
will light up;
wait for the warning lightsandto go out.
The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will
happen;
press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as the
warning light goes out. Waiting too long will
waste the heating work carried out by the glow
plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.IMPORTANT With the engine cold, the accelerator
pedal must be fully released when you turn the
ignition key to AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating the
procedure.
If the
warning light stays on when the ignition key
is at MAR, turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if the engine still does not
start.
Warning lightwill blink for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged
cranking to indicate a fault to the glow
plug heating system. Use the vehicle normally if
the engine starts, but go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
do not demand to performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge
starts moving.
