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.

applied, stop immediately and contact Fiat Dealership.WARNING
