IMPORTANT The presence of warning lights may vary according to the engine version and fittings.
The warning lights come on in the following circumstances:
Warning Messagelight on panel on display
ENGINE COOLANT TOO HOT (red)
Turning the key to MAR the warning light on the dial turns on, but it should go off after about 4
seconds.
The warning light turns on together with the message when the engine is overheated. If the warn-
ing light comes on while the car is moving, stop the car and keep the engine running. Accelerate
slightly to favour a better circulation of coolant. If the warning light does not go out in the follow-
ing two or three minutes, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND/OR HANDBRAKE ENGAGED (red)
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light on the dial turns on, but it should go off after
about 4 seconds. The warning light turns on together with the message when the level of the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, due to possible leak in the circuit and when the
handbrake is engaged.
x
u
If the warning light xturns on when travelling, check that the handbrake is not
engaged. If the warning light stays on with the message and the handbrake is not
applied, stop immediately and contact Fiat Dealership.WARNING

ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level shall be checked with cold engine and shall be between
the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% water and 50% FL
Selenia PARAFLU UP through the filler neck until reaching the MAX
mark.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
F0E0682m
The engine cooling system uses PARAFLU UP fluid, top up only with fluid of the same type.
PARAFLU UP cannot be mixed with other types of fluid; if mixed, do nor start the engine and
contact Fiat Dealership immediately.
WARNINGThe cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, replace the cap only with
another genuine one, otherwise system efficiency could be compromised.
Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot: you risk scalding
yourself.
