ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant and
starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds ap-
prox. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the mid-
dleofthescale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the multi-
function display may appear on certain versions) to indicate
that the coolant temperature is too high; in this case, stop
the engine and contact the Fiat Service Network.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
Warning light A comes on to indicate that approximately
8-10 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
WARNING The needle will point to E and warning light
A will flash to indicate a fault in the system. If this is the
case, go to the Fiat Service Network to have the system
checked.
If the needle enters the red zone, switch off
the engine immediately and contact the
Fiat Service Network.

INDEXOVERHEATED 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 driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark. If it is not, wait for a few
minutes 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. Al-
so visually 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 ac-
celerated to assist better coolant circulation. Then
switch the engine off. Check the correct fluid level as
described previously.
ç
IMPORTANT On demanding routes, 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.
BATTERY CHARGE LOW (red)The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as
soon as the engine has started (with the engine run-
ning at idle speed a brief delay before going out is accept-
able).
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership im-
mediately.

❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving or in the case of long term inactivity;
❒the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER
FLUID fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
To add fluid, remove cap D by manoeuvring the special
tab.
Pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSION-
AL SC 35 liquid, in the following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 70% water in
summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50% water in
winter.
At temperatures below –20°C, use undiluted TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid.
Check level through the reservoir.
Close cap D by pressing on the centre section.
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
The coolant level should be checked when the engine is
cold and should be between the MIN and MAX lines on
the reservoir. If the level is low, slowly pour into the reser-
voir filler neck C
a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP(made by PETRONAS LUBRICANTS )
until the level approaches MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UPand 50% distilled water
protects against freezing down to temperatures of –35°C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, we recom-
mended using a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40% dis-
tilled water.
PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used in the engine
cooling system. Use the same fluid as in the
cooling system when topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed with any other type of fluid. If this
happens, do not start the engine; contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
The cooling system is pressurised. If the cap
needs replacing, do so with another origi-
nal or the effectiveness of the system may be com-
promised. Do not remove the cap from the reservoir
when the engine is hot: you may get burned.
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen washer
reservoir is empty: using the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment contains hot
parts which could cause a fire if they come into
contact with these additives.
