Warning light What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display on some versions) switches on when the engine is overheated.
When driving normally: stop the vehicle, 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 switches on (or the icon is
displayed) again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and,
if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant
level is correct 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.
POWER STEERING FAILURE
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on when the ignition device is brought to MAR, but it
should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you could
not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be increased;
steering is, however, possible. On some versions, the display shows the dedicated message. Contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
