ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(where provided)
This gauge shows the engine oil level.
Versions with digital display
Turning the ignition key to MAR, the dis-
play will show the engine oil amount by
displaying five symbols.
F0N1017g
Few seconds after, engine oil amount sym-
bols will disappear from the display, and:
❒if scheduled servicing interval is near
to come, the display will show the dis-
tance to cover and the instrument
panel warning light õwill turn on.
When reaching the scheduled servic-
ing interval the display will show some
dashes.
❒then, if engine oil change interval is
near to come, the display will show on
the top of the screen the distance to
cover to next oil change together with
message “OIL” displayed on the bot-
tom of the screen. When reaching the
scheduled servicing interval the display
will show five dashes.
Versions with multifunction display
Turning the ignition key to MARthe dis-
play will show the oil level by the turning
on/off of five symbols.
F0N1018g
Partial gradual turning off of the symbols
indicates oil decrease.
The oil level is correct when 4 or 5 sym-
bols are turned on. If the fifth symbol does
not turn on, it shall not be considered as
a failure or low oil level in the sump.
When the oil level falls below the preset
limit the display will show the dedicated
message to warn the driver that topping
up is required.
IMPORTANT Proper engine oil level shall
however be checked by means of the dip-
stick (see paragraph “Checking levels” in
section “Vehicle maintenance”).
Few seconds after, engine oil amount sym-
bols will disappear from the display, and:

reaching the scheduled servicing in-
terval the display will show a dedicat-

near to come, the display will show
the distance to cover to next oil
change. When reaching the scheduled

a dedicated message. Partial gradual turning off of the symbols
indicates oil decrease.
If the oil level falls below the preset limit
(topping up is therefore required), the five
dashes will start flashing on the display.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
vehicle down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the atmos-
phere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Carry out the checks and adjustments/reg-
ulations specified in the “Service Sched-
ule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the ve-
hicle (especially when driving in town) and
its trim greatly affects consumption and
stability.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents
where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.
Observe the enforced rules if
you need to carry a spare
can of petrol. Only use a homologat-
ed can and secure it to the load an-
choring eyebolts. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
WARNING
In addition to these general precautions,
some simple measures could enhance dri-
ving safety, comfort and the length of the
vehicle’s life:
❒distribute the load evenly over the
load floor: if you need to concentrate
it all in one point choose the part be-
tween the axles;
❒remember that the lower the load is,
the lower the vehicle’s centre of grav-
ity will be, contributing to a safe drive;
you should therefore always position
the heavier goods at the bottom;
❒finally, remember that the way in
which the vehicle moves is influenced
by the weight being carried. In partic-
ular, stopping distance lengthens par-
ticularly at high speed.

MAINTENANCE
HEAVY-DUTY
Should prevailing use of the vehicle be un-
der one of the following specially heavy
conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) re-
peated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;
❒frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
❒driving in the city;
carry out the following checks more fre-
quently than required in the Service
Schedule:
❒check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubri-
cation;
❒sight inspect the conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rub-
ber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes,
etc.);
❒check battery charge and fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒check and replace pollen filter, if re-
quired;
❒check and replace air cleaner, if re-
quired.
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒light system operation (headlights, di-
rection indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒windscreen wiper/washer operation
and windscreen/rear window blade
position/wear;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL
Selenia, products, designed and pro-
duced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see
table “Capacities” in section “Technical
specifications”).

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the vehicle is used. ENGINE OIL fig. 4-5-6
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level shall be included between the
MINand MAXmarks on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MINand MAX
marks corresponds to about one litre of
oil.
If the oil level is near or even below the
MINmark, add oil through the filler neck
A, until reaching the MAXmark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.

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.
WARNING
Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.
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.
