coolant reservoir Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 Owner's Manual

Symbol What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The symbol lights up when the engine has overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the reservoir is not below the
MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that
the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership if the symbol comes on when the engine is started again.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in high-performance driving):slow down and, if the warning light stays on,
stop the vehicle. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation,
then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before
turning it off.
