ENGINE OIL

: versions 1.2
Fig. 5: versions 1.6
Fig. 6: versions 1.9 D
Check the oil level with the car
parked on level ground and with the
engine still hot (about 10 minutes af-
ter having stopped the engine).
The oil level must be between the
MINIMUMand MAXIMUMmarks
on the control dipstick. The space be-
tween
MINand MAXcorresponds
to roughly one litre of oil.
IMPORTANT Check the level and
replace the engine oil respecting the
frequency indicated in the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan” and “Additional Inter-
vention”.
If the oil level is close to or even be-
low the
MIN mark, add oil through
the filler hole until the level reaches
the
MAXmark. The oil level must
never exceed the
MAX line.
IMPORTANTAfter adding or
changing the oil, let the engine run for
a few seconds then wait a few minutes
after you have turned it off before
checking the level.
IMPORTANT If the level of the en-
gine oil, when checked, is found to be
over the
MAXmark, go to a Fiat
Dealership
to have it put right.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
When the car is new, the engine
needs to run in, therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5000 -
6000 km.
IMPORTANTOil consumption
depends on the driving style and the
conditions of use.

ENGINE COOLANT TANK

: Petrol versions
Fig. 8: Diesel versionsIf the level is low, pour a 70:30 mix-
ture of distilled water and
PARAFLU11produced by the FL
Group
slowly through the filler hole.

Do not take the cap of
the reservoir off when the
engine is very hot as you
run the risk of scalding yourself.
The coolant level must be checked
while the engine is cold and must be
above the
MIN mark visible on the
reservoir.
Do not add oil with dif-
ferent specifications from
the oil already in the en-
gine.
Used engine oil an re-
placed oil filters contain
substances which can
harm the environment. We rec-
ommend you have the car seen
to at a Fiat Dealership for the oil
and filter change. It is suitably
equipped for disposing of used oil
and filters in an environmentally
-friendly way that complies with
the law.
When the engine is hot
be very careful under the
bonnet: you risk burning
yourself. Remember that when
the engine is hot, the fan may cut
in and cause injuries.
The cooling system is
under pressure. When
changing the cap, use on-
ly genuine spare parts to avoid
damaging the system.

FUEL SUPPLY/ IGNITION
Integrated multipoint electronic in-
jection and ignition system: only one
electronic control unit controls both
functions. It processes both the time
the injection lasts (for petrol meter-
ing) and the ignition advance angle.
Type: Multipoint.
Air cleaner: dry, with paper filtering
element.
Fuel pump: by immersion, in the tank.
Injection pressure 3 barMixture metered by electronic pro-
cessing of the data picked up by the
engine speed sensor and absolute
pressure sensor in the intake manifold.
Petrol metering system : a “Closed
Loop” (information on the combus-
tion trend transmitted by the sensor
Lambda).
Ignition order: 1-3-4-2.
Spark plugs:
Modifications or repairs
to the fuel feed system
that are not carried out
properly or do not take the sys-
tem’s technical specifications in-
to account can cause malfunc-
tions leading to the risk of fire.
LUBRICATION
Forced-feed with gear pump with
pressure relief valve incorporated.
Oil purification through full-flow car-
tridge filter.
COOLING
Cooling system with radiator, cen-
trifugal pump and expansion tank.
Thermostat on the secondary circuit
for recirculating the water from the
engine to the radiator. “By-pass con-
trolled” thermostat.
Electrical fan for cooling the radiator
with connection/disconnection, con-
trolled by a thermostatic switch lo-
cated on the radiator.
