ENGINE OIL
Checking engine oil
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
Remove the dipstick Aand clean it, put
it back in completely, remove it and check
that the level is within the MIN and MAX
marks on the dipstick. The gap between
the MIN and MAX marks corresponds to
about one litre of oil.
Topping up engine oil
If the oil level is near or even below the
MIN mark, add oil through the filler neck
B, until reaching the MAX mark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.IMPORTANT If a routine check reveals
that the oil level is above the MAX mark,
contact Fiat Dealership to have the cor-
rect level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, fan may cut in: danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose cloth-
ing might be pulled by moving parts.

ENGINE COOLANT FLUID fig. 11
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the minimum mark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50% PARAFLU
UP by FL Selenia through the filler neck A.
A 50% mixture of distilled water and
PARAFLU UP gives freeze protection to
–22°C. Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed.
Engine oil consumption
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with speci-
fications other than that already in the en-
gine.fig. 11F0L0194m
The cooling system uses
PARAFLU UP antifreeze. Do
not add fluid having different
specifications from that al-
ready existing. PARAFLU UP cannot be
mixed with other types of fluids. Should
other fluids be added, do not start the
engine and contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Do not remove the reservoir
cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself.
WARNING
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency could
be compromised.

STEERING WHEEL/GEAR LEVER
KNOB WITH GENUINE
LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be cleaned
with water and neutral soap. Never use
spirit or alcohol-based products.
Before using special products for clean-
ing interiors, read carefully label instruc-
tions and indications to make sure they
are free from spirit and/or alcohol-based
substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with spe-
cial glass products, some drops fall on the
leather covering of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob remove them immediately and
then clean with water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when
engaging the steering lock to prevent
scratching the leather covering.INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
Use appropriate products designed to
preserve the appearance of components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel. If the stain persists, use specific products,
carefully following the instructions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or alcohol-
based products.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts like oil ether or rectified
petrol for cleaning car interiors. Elec-
trostatic discharges generated by rub-
bing during cleaning operations could
cause fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must never be exposed
to a temperature above 50°C. The
temperature inside the car exposed
to the sun may go well beyond that
figure.

For regular operation of Multijet versions fitted with DPF, use the genuine lubricant only. In the event of an emergency, lacking
the genuine lubricant, top up just once with max. 0.5 l and go to Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
Should non-genuine SAE 5W-40 products be used, lubricants with minimum ACEA A3 properties for petrol engines and ACEA
B4 for Diesel engines are tolerated; in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.
Using low-quality products, not compliant with ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 properties and specifications could cause engine damages
not covered by warranty.
For very cold temperatures, consult Fiat Dealership for the proper Seleniaproduct to use.
