warning light
.This condition is
indicated by intermittent blinking of warning
light
for longer than 4 seconds. In this case,

HOT ENGINE COOLANT (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON position
the warning light comes on but should go out 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:
❒ 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 should come on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership;
❒ if the vehicle is used under demanding
conditions (e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the warning light stays
on, stop the car. Stop for two or three minutes
with the engine running and slightly accelerated to
facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn
the engine off. Check the correct coolant level as
described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable
to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated
for a few minutes before turning it off.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
