2010 FIAT QUBO ESP

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
Take out the dipstick A fig. 168, clean it and then
fully reinsert it; take it out and check that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The interval between MIN and MAX corresponds to
about 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under the MIN line,
add oil through the filler B fig. 168 to reach the MAX
line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.IMPORTANT If the engine oil level after the check is
over the MAX level, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after turning it off before you check the
level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs to be run
in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only
be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on
driving style and the conditions under which the
vehicle is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using engine oil of the
same types as that already in the engine.
WARNING
Be very careful working in the engine
c
ompartment 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 loose fitting garments do not get caught
up in moving parts.

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 regularly at a
Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make
sure it is working properly.
WARNING
The battery fluid is poisonous and
c
orrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an excessively
lo
w liquid level will damage the battery
beyond repair and even cause an explosion.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare
part with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” 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. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, mobile phone, 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 .You are
recommended to go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the battery replaced where the old
battery will be disposed of respecting both the
environment and the laws in force.
If the vehicle needs to be off the road for
a long period under conditions of intense
cold, remove the battery and take it to
a heated place, otherwise it may freeze.
WARNING
When performing any operation on the
batter
y or near it , always protect your
eyes with the special goggles.

For example, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more
often in areas with high atmospheric pollution or if
you are travelling on roads sprinkled with salt.
To wash the vehicle properly, proceed as follows:
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over
the bodywork, frequently rinsing with the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or a
chamois leather.
If you put the vehicle through a car
wash, take heed of the following:
❒remove the antenna from the roof so it does not
get damaged;
❒the car wash should use water added to a soapy
solution;
❒rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks staying on
the bodywork or less visible parts.
Some car washes with old-style blades
and/or in a poor state of repair can
damage the paintwork, facilitating the
formation of lines that give the paint a dull/misty
appearance, especially on dark colours. If this
happens, lightly polish the paintwork with
appropriate products.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such
as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more easily. It is a good
idea to leave the vehicle outdoors for a while after
washing it to give water time to evaporate.Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the
sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine
of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do
not park the vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances released by many species give the paint a
dull appearance and increase the possibility of rust.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution.The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows. Also
use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the
engine compartment, taking care to avoid spraying
the water jet directly onto the electronic control
