Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.

When Does My 2020 Fiat 500X Radiator Need Service?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Fiat 500X radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2020 Fiat 500X is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Fiat recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.
