ENGINE OIL fig. 3-4
Check engine oil with the car on lev-
el ground and while the engine is still
warm (approximately five minutes af-
ter stopping the engine).
Extract dipstick Aand clean it, then
fully insert it again and check that the
level is between the MINand MAX
reference lines on the dipstick.
The space between the MINand the
MAXreference corresponds to ap-
proximately one litre of oil.Do not add oil with dif-
ferent specifications from
the oil already in the en-
gine.If the engine is hot, be
very careful when you put
your hands under the
bonnet as you risk burning your-
self. Remember that when the
engine is hot, the fan can start up
and cause injuries.

If the oil level is near or even below
the MIN line, pour in oil through the
filler hole B, until it reaches the MAX
level.
IMPORTANTIf the oil results to
be over the MAX line, go to a Fiat
Dealershipand have the correct oil
level restored.
IMPORTANTAfter topping up or
changing the oil, let the engine turn for
a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after stopping it before you check the
level.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX line.Used engine oil and re-
placed oil filters contain
substances which can
harm the environment. We rec-
ommend you have the vehicle
seen to at a Fiat Dealership for
the oil and filter change. It is suit-
ably equipped for disposing of
used oil and filters in an environ-
mentally-friendly way that com-
plies with the law. Engine oil consumption
The maximum oil consumption is ap-
proximately 400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the car is new, the engine
needs to run in, therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5,000 -
6,000 km.
IMPORTANTOil consumption
depends on the driving style and the
conditions of use.

Do not remove the
reservoir cap when the
engine is hot: you risk
scalding yourself. ENGINE COOLANT fig. 5-6Check coolant level when the engine
is cold. The level should be included
between the MINand MAXrefer-
ence line on the reservoir.If the level is low, loosen the header
tank cap Aand slowly pour a mixture
of the fluid specified in the ”Lubricant
and fluid specifications” table in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”,
through the filler neck until nearing the
MAXmark.
The antifreeze mixture contained in
the cooling circuit guarantees protec-
tion down to –40°C.
