Thousands of kilometres
Check exhaust emissions
Check antievaporation system
Replace air cleaner cartridge
Change spark plugs (❍)
Top up fluids
(engine coolant, brakes, battery, windscreen washer, etc.)
Check timing belt conditions (1.4 and 1.4 T-JET versions)
Check engine control system operation
(through diagnosis socket)
Replace timing belt (*)
Change engine oil and oil filter (or every 24 months)
Change brake fluid (or every 24 months)
Change pollen filter (or every 24 months)
(*) Regardless of the km covered, the timing belt shall be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use
(cold climates, driving in the city, idling for a long time) or in any case every 5 years
(❍)For 1.4 T-JET version, in order to ensure correct operation and avoid significant damages to the engine, it is mandatory:
- to use spark plugs specifically certified for the T-JET engine only, of the same type and brand (see paragraph “Engine”);
- to replace the plugs as often as required by the Programmed Maintenance Plan;
- we recommend to refer to the Fiat Dealership

WINDSCREEN WASHING
FLUID fig. 6
To top up, remove the cap A.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35, in the fol-
lowing concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35and 50% water in winter.
In case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35fluid.
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 5
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must be between
the MINand MAXlines on the vessel.
fig. 5F0R0136mfig. 6
PARAFLU UP antifreeze is
used in the engine cooling sys-
tem. Use fluid of the same
type contained in the cooling
system for top-ups. PARAFLU UP may
not be mixed with other types of fluids.
If this accidentally occurs, do not start
the engine and contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If required, replace
the cap with an original spare part so
as not to compromise system effi-
ciency. Do not remove the cap from
the vessel when the engine is hot: risk
of burns.
WARNING
F0R0137m
If the level is low, slowly pour a 50% mix-
ture of demineralised water and FL Sele-
nia PARAFLU UPthrough filler Aof the
vessel until the level approaches the MAX
line.
The 50% concentration of PARAFLU UP
demineralised water protects from freez-
ing to a temperature of –35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.
Waste engine oil and oil filters
contains substances which are
dangerous for the environ-
ment. It is advisable to have
oil and filters changed by a Fiat Deal-
ership where they will be disposed of
according to the law.
Always top up using engine oil
of the same types as that al-
ready in the engine.

WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against
perforation due to rust of any original el-
ement of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, re-
fer to Fiat Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aes-
thetic purpose, but also protects the un-
derlying sheet metal.
Touch up abrasions and scratches immedi-
ately to prevent the formation of rust. On-
ly use genuine spare paint products for
touch-ups (see “Bodywork paint identifi-
cation plate” in the “Technical Specifica-
tions” section).BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the fol-
lowing:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or
hot humid climates);
❒seasonal environment conditions.
Not to be underestimated is also the abra-
sive action of wind-borne atmospheric
dust and sand and mud and gravel raised
by other cars.
On your car, Fiat implemented the best
manufacturing technologies to effectively
protect the bodywork against corrosion.These are the most important:
❒paint products and systems which give
the car particular resistance to corro-
sion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel
sheets, with high resistance to corro-
sion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine com-
partment, wheelhouse internal parts
and other parts with highly protective
wax products;
❒spraying of plastic materials for pro-
tective purposes in the most exposed
points: under the doors, inside the
mudguard, along the edges, etc.
❒use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.

For diesel engines, in the event of emergencies when genuine products are not available, lubricants providing at least ACEA B4
performance are allowed; in that case, engine best performance is not guaranteed; we recommend to have it replaced as soon as
possible with the recommended lubricants by the Fiat Dealership.
Use of products with low-quality properties than ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 could cause damages to the engine that are not covered
by the warranty.
For very cold climate conditions, ask Fiat Dealership for the appropriate Seleniaproduct to use.
