Engine coolant overheating (red)
Turning the key to the MAR position the
warning light switches on, but it will switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light turns on
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 that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark.
In this case, wait for a few minutes 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 reference on the reservoir itself. Also check for any
fluid leaks. Go to a Lancia Dealership if the warning light
should switch on when the engine is started again.

ENGINE COOLANT B-fig. 1-2-3-4
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is
cold and must range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
on the reservoir. If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture
of 50% demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU
UPof
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through the filler neck un-
til the level reaches MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UPand 50% distilled wa-
ter protects against freezing down to temperatures of
−35 °C. For particularly harsh climate conditions, we rec-
ommended using a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand
40% distilled water.
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the en-
gine cooling system. Use the same fluid as in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed with any other
types of fluids. If this accidentally occurs, do not
start the engine and contact a Lancia Dealership.
The engine cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with another
genuine one or the operation of the system
may be adversely affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the engine is hot: danger of
scalding.
