DEMANDING VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of the following
particularly harsh conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving (e.g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in
the case of long term inactivity;
❒urban driving;
the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check pollen filter and replace it, if required;
❒check air cleaner and replace it, if required.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top-up the following:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine oil
level.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have been designed and
produced specifically for Fiat cars (see table “Capacities”
in the “Technical specifications” section).

IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this
reason, if the car is mainly used in areas with a high
degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”. BRAKE FLUID fig. 229
Undo the cap A and check that the liquid contained in
the reservoir is at the maximum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubricants”
table (see “Technical Specifications”).
NOTE Thoroughly clean the tank cap A and the
surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that impurities do not enter
the reservoir when the cap is opened.
For topping up, always use a funnel with integrated filter
that has a mesh inferior or equal to 0.12 mm.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should this occur,
immediately wash with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected parts
with water and neutral soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. If swallowed call a doctor straight
away.
WARNING
The symbol πon the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, which is different
from a mineral fluid. Use of mineral type fluids
will damage the special rubber seals of the
braking system beyond repair.

When the setting is reached the indicator is triggered
B-fig. 232 and changes to red, even with the engine off.
To reset the indicator, clean/replace the cartridge as on
normal versions and then reset the indicator by pressing
the button C-fig. 232.
WARNING To clean the filter, use an air jet, do not use
water or liquid detergents.
Because this filter is specific to versions designed for
dusty areas, it is advisable to contact a Fiat Dealership
to change the filter.
POLLEN FILTER
Have the pollen filter replaced by a Fiat Dealership.AIR FILTER/POLLEN FILTER
Have the air filter replaced by a Fiat Dealership.
AIR FILTER – DUSTY ROADS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The air filter for dusty areas is equipped with a visual
filter block indication device
A-fig. 231. Check the reading of the filter block sensor
at intervals (refer to “Scheduled Servicing Plan” in the
“Maintenance and care” section).

BATTERY
The battery is of the “Limited maintenance” type: under
normal conditions of use the electrolyte does not need
topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked periodically at a
Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make sure
it is working correctly.
The battery is located inside the passenger
compartment, in front of the pedals. Remove the
protective cover to gain access to it.

When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the fluid is too
low can damage it irreparably and
generate a risk of explosion.
WARNING
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Programme” in this chapter will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, radiophone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you if a higher
capacity battery needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances that are very
harmful to the environment. It is
advisable to have the battery changed by
a Fiat Dealership, where it will be disposed of
properly and in accordance with the law.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”
in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in
the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks.
Careful inspections are therefore necessary.Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre will get
overheated, with the risk of serious
damage.
WARNING
Avoid moving the tyres from the right
side of the vehicle to the left side and
vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150 °C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be impaired.

Lubricants
(▲)
For diesel engines, in the event of an emergency in which the original products are not available, lubricants with at least ACEA C2
performance are acceptable; however, in this case optimum engine performance is not guaranteed and the lubricants should be replaced
with recommended products as soon as possible at a Fiat Dealership.
The use of products with lower specifications than ACEA C2 could cause damage to the engine not covered by the warranty.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, ask a Fiat Dealership for the appropriate product from PETRONAS LUBRICANTS.
SAE 5W-30 grade synthetic base lubricant.
FIAT 9.55535-S1 certification.
