Car maintenance should be charged to
a Fiat Dealership. For routine and minor
maintenance operations you wish to carry
out yourself, always make sure you have the prop-
er equipment, genuine Fiat spare parts and the nec-
essary fluids; do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experience.
IMPORTANT – Battery
Check the battery charge once a year, preferably before
at the beginning of winter to limit the risk of electrolyte
freezing.
This check should be carried out more frequently if the
car is used mainly for short journeys, or if it is fitted with
accessories that permanently absorb electricity even with
the ignition key removed, especially in the case of after-
market accessories. If the car is used in hot climates or
particularly harsh conditions it is advisable to check the
level of the battery fluid (electrolyte) more frequently than
specified in the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
❒
frequently idling engine or long distance low speed dri-
ving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in case
of a long term inactivity;
change engine oil more frequently than required on the
“Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Diesel filter
The possibility of topping-up with diesel fuel not comply-
ing with EN 590 European Standard might make it neces-
sary to replace the filter more frequently than indicated in
the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”.
IMPORTANT – Air filter
When the car is used on dusty roads, change the air fil-
ter more frequently than shown on the “Scheduled Ser-
vicing Programme”. If in doubt as to how often the en-
gine oil and air filter should be changed according to how
you use the car, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT – Pollen filter
It is advisable to replace the filtering element more fre-
quently if the car is used in dusty or very polluted places.
Specifically, replace if a lower air flow into the passen-
ger’s compartment is found.

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.
