POWER STEERING FLUID
Check that the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir with the car parked on level ground and engine cold.
When the oil is hot the level may exceed the MAX mark.
If necessary add oil making sure that it has the same specifications as the
oil already in the system.
F0E0684m
The oil consumption is very low; if, after topping up it becomes necessary to top up again quite
soon after, have the system checked by Fiat Dealership for any leaks.
WARNINGDo not allow the power steering fluid to come into contact with the hot parts of
the engine: it is inflammable.

These components shall only be cleaned with water
and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based products.
Before using special products for cleaning interiors,
read carefully label instructions and indications to
make sure they are free from spirit and/or alcohol-
based substances.If when cleaning the windscreen with special 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.
Never use inflammable products like fuel oil ether or rectified petrol for cleaning
inside the car. The electrostatic discharges generated when rubbing to clean may
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. WARNING

For diesel engines, in the event of emergencies when genuine products are not available, lubricants providing at least ACEA B4 per-
formance are allowed; in that case, engine best performance is not guaranteed; we recommend to have it replaced as soon as pos-
sible 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. Synthetic-based engine oils grade SAE 5W-40
that pass ACEA B4, API CF.
