IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with speci-
fications other than that already in the en-
gine.
WARNING
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
fig. 11-12
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall not be lower than
the MINmark on the reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UPof the FL Seleniathrough
the filler neck A.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand dis-
tilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions, we
recommend use of a 60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.

1.9 Multijet - 2.0 MultijetversionF0Q0619m
The cooling system uses
PARAFLUUPantifreeze. Do
not add fluid having different
specifications from that al-
ready existing. PARAFLU
UPcannot be
mixed with other types of fluids. Should
other fluids be added, do not start the
engine and contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Do not remove the reservoir
cap when the engine is hot:
you risk scalding yourself. The cool-
ing system is pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with another
genuine one, otherwise system effi-
ciency could be compromised.
WARNING
When the engine is hot,
take care when working in-
side the engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the en-
gine is hot, the fan may cut in: dan-
ger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.

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 Fiat Bravo, Fiat implemented the
best manufacturing technologies to effec-
tively protect the bodywork against cor-
rosion.These include:
❒ Painting products and systems which
give the car particular resistance to cor-
rosion and abrasion;
❒ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) 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 parts, with a pro-
tective function, in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc.;
❒Use of “open” boxed sections to pre-
vent condensation and pockets of mois-
ture from triggering rust inside.
BODY AND UNDERBODY
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, refer to
the Fiat Warranty booklet.ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesteth-
ic purpose, but also protects the under-
lying sheet metal.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you
are advised to have the necessary touch-
ing up carried out immediately to avoid
the formation of rust. Use only original
paint products for touching up (see “Body-
work paint identification plate” in section
“Technical specification”).
Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing at intervals depending on the con-
ditions and environment of use. For ex-
ample, in highly polluted areas, or if the
roads are sprayed with salt, it is wise to
wash the car more frequently.
To wash the car correctly proceed as fol-
lows:
❒soak the body with a low pressure wa-
ter jet;
❒pass on the body a sponge with a light
cleansing solution, frequently rinsing
the sponge;
❒rinse accurately with water and dry
with air jet or suede.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:
❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the
car;IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
situations, weather conditions, driving
style, general conditions of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, other situations
that affect air drag may lead to different
fuel consumption levels than those mea-
sured.
❒ extra-urban cycle: frequent acceler-
ating in all gears, simulating extraurban
use of the car; the speed varies be-
tween 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: is calculat-
ed weighing about 37% of urban cycle
consumption and about 63% of ex-
traurban consumption.
