MULTIJET ENGINES
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffins and could clog the diesel fuel fil-
ter.
In order to avoid these problems, different
types of diesel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type and
arctic type (cold, mountain areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for
the current temperature, mix diesel fuel
with DIESEL MIX additive in the propor-
tions stated on the can, putting first the
antifreeze in the tank and then the diesel
fuel.FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 124
The fuel filler cap lock is automatically con-
trolled by the central door lock.
In an emergency (e.g.: electric system fail-
ure) it is possible to unlock it by pulling
string B. To find the string, remove the
right-hand side cover A.
To carry out fuelling, open flap C-fig. 125
and unscrew cap D; the cap is fitted with
an antiloss device Ewhich fastens it to the
flap so it cannot be mislaid.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap, is absolutely
normal. The car must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor ve-
hicles, in compliance with Eu-
ropean Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with in-
validation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of acci-
dentally filling with another type of fu-
el, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in ad-
dition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
fig. 124F0L0137m
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-
ping up operations that could cause dam-
ages to the fuel system.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensor;
❒fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF). When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the flap as shown in the fig-
ure.
If the doors are locked, press the door un-
lock button
´on central panel to refuel.
The fuel filler cap is re-locked when the
doors are locked.
fig. 125F0L0181m
Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the
fuel filler hole as there is a danger of
fire. Do not bend too close to the hole
either so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
WARNING
During normal service the
diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures. Do not
therefore park the car over inflam-
mable materials (grass, dry leaves,
pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.

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.
