2007 FIAT SEICENTO RESERVOIR

115CAR MAINTENANCE
Be very careful under
the bonnet: you risk
burning yourself. Re-
member that when the engine is
hot, the fan can start up and
cause injuries.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Max. engine oil consumption is usu-
ally 400 grams every 1000 km.
During the beginning of the car’s use,
the engine is being run in. Engine oil
consumption can be considered sta-
bilised only after the first five-six thou-
sand kilometres.
IMPORTANTOil consumption
depends on the driving style and the
conditions of use. IMPORTANT After topping up or
changing the oil, let the engine turn
for a few seconds and wait a few min-
utes after stopping it before you check
the level. Do not add oil with dif-
ferent specifications from
the oil already in the en-
gine.

Used engine oil and re-
placed oil filters contain
substances which can
harm the environment. We rec-
ommend you have the car seen
to at a Fiat Dealership for the oil
and filter change. It is suitably
equipped for disposing of used oil
and filters in an environmentally-
friendly way that complies with
the law.
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 3
Do not take the cap A of
the reservoir off when the
engine is very hot as you
run the risk of scalding yourself.
The coolant system is
under pressure. If the cap
A requires changing, use
only an original spare part, oth-
erwise the system efficiency
could be affected.

Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reser-
voir empty. The wind-
screen washer is fundamental for
improving visibility. Some windscreen wiper
additives on the market
are flammable. The en-
gine compartment contains hot
parts which could start a fire in
the event of contact.
BRAKE FLUID fig. 5
Unscrew cap check that the fluid
level in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not
exceed the MAXmark. Check coolant level when the engine
is cold. The level should be included
between the MIN and MAXrefer-
ence lines on the reservoir.
If the level is low, top up slowly
through the filler on the reservoir
with a 50-50 mixture of distilled wa-
ter and FL Selenia PARAFLU UP
fluid until the level approaches the
MAX line.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP
and distilled water gives freeze pro-
tection to –35°C.
The engine cooling sys-
tem works with
PARAFLU UP. Top up
only with the same fluid con-
tained in the cooling circuit.
PARAFLU UP cannot be mixed
with other fluids. Should this take
place, do not start the engine and
contact Fiat Dealership.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER LIQUID
To add liquid remove the cap A-
fig. 4.
Use a mixture of water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35
fluid in the following concentrations:
30% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 70% of water in summer.
50% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC35and 50% of water in winter.

The symbol πon the
container indicates syn-
thetic brake fluid distin-
guishing it from mineral fluid. Us-
ing mineral type fluid would
damage the special rubber brak-
ing system gaskets beyond re-
pair.
117CAR MAINTENANCE
Brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive.
Wash the concerned
parts immediately with water
and mild soap in the event of an
accidental contact. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed. If fluid has to be added, it is sug-
gested to use the brake fluid in table
"Fluids and lubricants" (see chapter
"Technical characteristics").
NOTE Clean accurately the tank cap
and the surrounding surface.
At plug opening, pay maximum at-
tention in order to prevent any impu-
rities from entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal
to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANTBrake fluid absorbs
moisture, for this reason, if the vehi-
cle is mainly used in areas with a high
degree of atmospheric humidity, the
fluid should be replaced at more fre-
quent intervals than specified in the
“Service schedule”.
Make sure that the
highly corrosive brake
fluid does not drip onto
the paintwork. If it does, wash it
off immediately with water.
