compartment, instrument panel warning lights, etc...);
❒
check wiper/washer system operation, adjust nozzles;
❒
check windscreen/rear window blade position/wear;
❒
check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒
check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒
sight inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox, trans-
mission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply – brak-
ing system) rubber parts (boots – sleeves – bushes etc.),
fuel and brake system hoses;
❒
check battery charge;
❒
visually check the various drive belt conditions;
❒
check and top-up liquids if required (engine coolant,
brakes, windscreen washer, battery, etc.);
❒
change engine oil;
❒
change engine oil filter;
❒
change pollen filter (for versions/markets where pro-
vided).
ADDITIONAL INTERVENTIONSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top-up the following:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
battery fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer fluid level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check the following and top-up, if required:
❒
engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Selenia products de-
signed and produced specifically for Fiat cars (see table
“Capacities” in chapter “Technical specifications”).
IMPORTANT – Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the car be under one of the fol-

IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the car utilisation conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the level. ENGINE OIL fig. 175 – 176 and 177
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN. and MAX. marks on the
dipstick B.
The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks corre-
sponds to about 1 litre of oil. If the oil level is close to or
actually below the MIN. mark, pour in the prescribed oil
through the filler A until it reaches the MAX mark. The oil
level must never exceed the MAX mark.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTIONThe maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to be run in, there-
fore the engine oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 ÷ 6,000 km.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 178 and 179
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold
and must range between the MIN. and MAX. marks on the
reservoir.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture of 50% deminer-
alised water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
of FL Selenia through
the filler neck A until approaching the MAX. level.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and demineralised wa-
ter gives freeze protection to −35 °C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, a mixture of 60%
PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralised water is recom-
mended.
When the engine is hot, take care when
working inside the engine compartment to
avoid burns. Remember that when the engine is
hot, the fan may cut in: danger of injury. Scarves,
ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
WARNING
Never add any oil with different specifica-
tions than those of the existing engine oil. Used engine oil and the replaced oil filter
contain substances that may be dangerous
for the environment. It is advisable to have
oil and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership where
they will be disposed respecting the environment
and according to law prescription.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPER/WASHERBLADES
Periodically clean the rubber part using special products;
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 is recommended.
Replace the blades if the rubber edge is deformed or worn.
In all cases, it is advisable to replace them approximately once
a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of dam-
age to the blades:❒
make sure that the rubber part is not stuck to the wind-
screen at sub-zero temperatures. Use an antifreeze
product to release it if required;
❒
remove any snow from the glass: in addition to pro-
tecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor
and overheating;
❒
do not operate the windscreen and the rear screen
wipers on dry glass.
RUBBER HOSESAs far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are concerned,
follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme” in this chapter care-
fully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the sys-
tem may cause hardening and cracking of the hoses, with pos-
sible leaks. Careful control is therefore necessary.
Driving with worn wiper blades is a serious
hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
