TEMPERATURE
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning
light on the dial turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
The warning light turns on (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) when
the engine is overheated. If the warning light
comes on when driving, proceed as follows:
❒normal driving conditions: stop the car,
switch off the engine and check whether the
water level in the reservoir is not below the
MIN mark. Otherwise wait for few seconds
to allow engine cooling, then open slowly and
carefully the cap, top up coolant and check
whether its level is falling between MIN and
MAX marks in the reservoir. Check visually
any leak. If when restarting the warning light
comes on again, contact a Fiat Dealership;

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
The coolant level shall be checked with cold engine and shall be included
between the MIN and MAX mark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% distilled water and 50%
FL Selenia PARAFLU UP through the filler neck.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and distilled water gives freeze
protection to –35°C.
IMPORTANT Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself.
