STEERING FAILURE
(red)
This warning light comes on when the ig-
nition key is turned to MAR, but it should
go off after a few seconds.

get the benefit from the electric power
steering and the effort needed to turn the
wheel will be greatly increased, although
it will still be possible to steer the car.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
A specific message is displayed on certain

Warning lights
xand >lit at the same
time with the engine running indicates an
EBD system failure or that the system is
not available. This may cause premature
locking of the rear wheels in the event of
violent braking, causing the car to swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately.

LOW ENGINE OIL
LEVEL (red)
(for versions/markets,
where available)
When turning the ignition key to MAR,
the warning light turns on but it should go
off after a few seconds.
This warning light where provided comes
on when the engine oil level falls below the
minimum recommended value. Restore
the correct engine oil level (see “Check-
ing fluid levels” in the “Servicing and care”
section).
A specific message is displayed on certain
versions.
kDegraded engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes on,
and never more than 500 km after it
first comes on.
Failure to change the oil within the
first 500 km may result in severe dam-
age to the engine and invalidate the
warranty. Remember that when the
warning light comes on, it does not
mean that the level of engine oil is
low, so if the light flashes you do not
need to top up the engine oil.

PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is
used in the engine cooling sys-
tem. Use the same fluid as in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed with
any other type of fluid. If this happens,
do not start the engine; contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If the cap needs re-
placing, do so with another original
or the effectiveness of the system may
be compromised. Do not remove the
cap from the reservoir when the en-
gine is hot: you may get burned
WARNINGENGINE COOLANT fig. 5
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must be between
the MINand MAXlines on the vessel.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture
of 50% demineralised water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP(made by PETRONAS LU-
BRICANTS) through the filler neck
Auntil the level reaches MAX.
The 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
demineralised water gives freeze protec-
tion up to −35 °C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions,
a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40%
distilled water is recommended.
Used engine oil and the re-
placed oil filter contain sub-
stances that may be harmful
to the environment. It is ad-
visable to have oil and filters changed
by a Fiat Dealership, where they will be
disposed of properly and in accordance
with the law.
Do not add oil with different
characteristics to those of the
existing engine oil.
Be very careful working in
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: you may get
burned. Remember that the fan may
start up if the engine is hot: this could
injure you. Make sure that scarves,
ties and other loose fitting garments
do not get caught up in moving parts.
