smoke comes from the boiler.
In this case, the smoke will gradually
disappear when the passenger compartment
has reached the right temperature.
Smoke coming from the engine
compartment.Short circuit or leaks from the cooling circuit.Stop, remove the starter device, move away
from the vehicle and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The oil pressure warning light goes on in a
curve or when braking.The oil level is too low.Add engine oil (see the paragraph "Warning

delays going off or stays on when you
accelerate.Low oil pressure. Stop and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Steering becomes hard. Power steering is overheating. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
Vibrations.Badly inflated tyres, badly balanced or
damaged.Check the tyre pressure; if the defect
persists, have it checked at a Fiat Dealership.
The engine overheats. The coolant liquid
temperature indicator is in the alarm area and
theSTOPwarning light goes on.The cooling fan is out of order.Stop, turn off the engine and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
