Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light  
on the dial turns on, but it should go off after few  
seconds.  
The warning light turns on (on certain versions  
together with the message on the display) 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 whether the  
water level in the reservoir is not below the MIN  
mark. Otherwise wait for few seconds to allow  
engine cooling, then open slowly and carefully  
the cap, top up coolant and check whether its  
level is falling between MIN and MAX marks in  
the reservoir. Check visually any leak. If when  
restarting the warning light comes on again,  
contact a Fiat Dealership;
