Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km after it
first comes on. Failure to change the oil within the
first 500 km may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember
that when the warning light comes on, it does not
mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if the
light flashes you do not need to top up the engine
oil.
WARNING
SEAT BELT NOT FASTENED (red)
The warning light on the panel comes on steadi-
ly when the vehicle is stationary and the driver’s
seat belt is not correctly fastened. It will flash, and
be accompanied by an audible warning, if the front seat belts
are not correctly fastened when the vehicle is moving.
The SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system’s audible warning
can be disabled only by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions, the system can be reactivated from the
setup menu.
<
DOOR OPEN (red)
On certain versions, the warning light turns on
when one or more doors, the boot or the bon-
net are not properly closed.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
You will hear a warning sound if a door is open and the
vehicle is moving.
ENGINE OIL LOW
(red)
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warn-
ing light turns on but it should go off after a few
seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the engine
oil level falls below the minimum recommended value. Re-
store the correct engine oil level (see “Checking fluid lev-
els” in the “Servicing and maintenance” section).
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.

HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is primarily used in one of the following
particularly onerous conditions:
❒ towing trailers;
❒ dusty roads;
❒ short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at sub-ze-
ro temperatures;
❒ frequently idling engine or long-distance, low-speed dri-
ving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries) or lengthy inactivi-
ty;
❒ driving in towns and cities;
you should perform the following inspections more fre-
quently than shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒ check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, and clean-
liness and lubrication of linkages;
❒ visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes),
rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒ check battery charge and fluid level (electrolite) (check
to be carried out only by specialists or at a Fiat Deal-
ership – see the “Battery” paragraph in this section);
❒ visually inspect the condition of the accessory drive
belts;
❒ check pollen filter and replace, if required;
❒ check and, if necessary, replace air filter.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top up:
❒ engine coolant fluid level;
❒ brake fluid level;
❒ windscreen washer level;
❒ tyre pressure and conditions.
❒ operation of lighting system (headlights, direction in-
dicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒ operation of windscreen washer/wipers system and po-
sitioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper blades
(for versions/markets where provided);
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level every
3,000 km.
You are recommended to use
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS
products, which have been designed and produced specif-
ically for Fiat vehicles (see “Capacities” table in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section).

ENGINE OIL fig. 180-181-182-183-184
Check the oil level a few minutes after stopping the engine
(about 5 minutes) with the vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds
to about one litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil through
the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
The engine needs to run in when the vehicle is new, and
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption depends on driving style
and conditions of use of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check the level.

Be very careful working in the engine com-
partment when the engine is hot: you may
get burned. Remember that the fan may start up
if the engine is hot: this could injure you. Make
sure that scarves, ties and other items of loose-fit-
ting clothing do not get caught up in moving com-
ponents.
WARNING
Do not add oil with different characteris-
tics from those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that are harmful to
the environment. It is advisable to have oil
and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership, where they
will be disposed of properly and in accordance with
the law.

POWER STEERING FLUID
fig. 180-181-182-183-184
Check that oil level with the vehicle on flat ground and en-
gine cold is included between the MIN and MAX refer-
ences on the reservoir body.
The level may go over the MAX line when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the oil you use has the
same specifications as that already in the system.Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the system
checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure there are no
leaks.
Do not push the power steering all the way
for longer than eight seconds with the en-
gine running because it will cause noise and
risk damaging the system.
Because it is flammable, do not allow the
power steering fluid to come into contact
with hot parts of the engine.
