WARNING
214)Always turn off the ignition device
before working in the engine compartment
(see the related information in the “Starting
the engine” paragraph in the “Starting and
driving” chapter).215)Handle the battery carefully, because
it contains sulphuric acid that must not
come into contact with eyes or skin. If that
happens, rinse thoroughly with water. If
necessary, see a doctor. Keep open
flames, incandescent items and sources of
sparks far from the battery's elements: risk
of explosion.
216)When you intervene near the engine,
this last could be hot. Moreover, the
cooling fan could start up at any time. The
warning light serves to remind you of
this condition. Risk of injury.
217)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
218)Using the battery with low fluid will
irreparably damage the battery and may
cause an explosion.
219)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
50)Since the battery is specific, you need
to make sure you replace it with its
equivalent. Consult a Fiat Dealership.
51)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. If after purchasing
the vehicle, you want to install accessories
(alarm, mobile phone, etc.), contact the Fiat
Dealership who will be able to suggest the
most suitable devices and, above all, offer
advice on the need to use a more powerful
battery.

(1) The product used for initial filling and PARAFLU UP can be fully mixed, even though the colours may differ. PARAFLU UP may be used for topping up amounts of
up to 1 litre. Over this amount, we recommend completely changing the coolant in the percentages given.
(*) Do not top up or mix with other fluids which have different specifications from the ones described.
(**) When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh weather conditions, we recommend using a 60% mixture of PARAFLU UP and 40% demineralised water.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
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 lights and
messages" in the chapter "Knowing the instrument
panel").
The oil pressure warning light goes on
and 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.
Drive carefully at slow speed taking into account the level
of effort on the steering wheel needed to turn the wheels.
Contact a Fiat Dealership. Servo electrical motor fault.
Servo system fault.
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.
Coolant liquid leak.Check the coolant liquid tank: there should be liquid in it.
