red
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light switches on when the ignition key
is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. The warning light turns on when the engine
is overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.
In normal driving conditions: stop the vehicle, 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 to allow the engine to cool down,
then slowly and carefully open the cap. Top up with
coolant fluid making sure that it is included between the
MIN and MAX lines on the vessel. Also check visually
for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light
switches 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 light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated
to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop
the engine. Check that the coolant level is correct as
described above.
Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the
engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes
before switching it off.

LOW BATTERY CHARGE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine has started (with the engine idling a brief delay
before switching off is acceptable).
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.

INSUFFICIENT ENGINE OIL PRESSURE/ENGINE OIL
DETERIORATED
