2007 FIAT IDEA check oil

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.
Check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The interval 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, 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 correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the engine turn over
for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after turning it off before you
check the level.

Engine compartment
At the end of the winter the engine compartment
should be carefully washed, without directing the jet
against electronic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.
IMPORTANT Washing should be carried out with the
engine cold and the ignition key at STOP. After
washing make sure that the various protections (e.g.:
rubber caps and various covers) have not been
damaged or removed.INTERIORS
Periodically check that water is not trapped under the
mats (due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.)
which could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC AND
VELVET PARTS
Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
Velvet is cleaned better if the brush is moistened.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution
of water and neutral detergent.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
Remove dried on dirt with lightly moistened chamois
leather or cloth without pressing too hard.
Remove liquid or grease stains with a dry absorbent
cloth without rubbing. Then wipe with a soft cloth or
chamois leather with water and neutral soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products, carefully
following the instructions for use.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
WARNINGNever use flammable
products like oil ether or
rectified petrol for
cleaning car interiors.
Electrostatic discharges
generated by rubbing
during cleaning
operations could cause
fire.
