Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the

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 car, switch off
the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, 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. Also check visually for
any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning
light switches on again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒ If the car is used under demanding
conditions (e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on, stop
the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to further favour
the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine.
Check the correct coolant level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable
to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before switching it off.

efficiency of the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the reservoir cap when
