REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlamps, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen wash/wipe system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper
blades.
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level

You are recommended to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have been designed
and produced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see
“Capacities” table in the “Technical specifications”
section).
HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
Should prevailing use of the vehicle be under one of
the following specially heavy conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling, or driving long distances at low
speed (e.g. door to door deliveries) or long period
of idleness;
❒urban trips;
perform the following inspections more frequently
than shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust - fuel -
brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);

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.

The used engine oil and the filter that has
been replaced contain substances that
are dangerous to the environment . For oil
and filter changing, we recommend contacting a
Fiat Dealership.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
The coolant level should be checked when the
engine is cold and should be between the MIN and
MAX lines on the vessel.
If the level is low, pour into the vessel through cap A
fig. 169 a 50% mixture of demineralised water and
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS PARAFLU
UP.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UPand 50% distilled
water protects against freezing down to
temperatures of -35°C. For particularly harsh climate
conditions, we recommended using a mixture of
60% PARAFLU
UPand 40% distilled water.
WARNING
Do not remove the tank cap when the
en
gine is very hot as there is a risk
of scalding.The cooling system is pressurised. If
the cap needs replacing, do so with another
original or the effectiveness of the system may
be compromised.
PARAFLUUPantifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type contained in the cooling system
for top-ups. PARAFLU
UPshould not be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this happens, do
not start the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.

❒30% of TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 70%
water in summer
❒50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50%
water in winter.
At temperatures below -20°C, use undiluted
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid.

Do not travel if the windscreen washer
reser
voir is empty: using the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
WARNING
Some commercial windscreen washer
addi
tives are flammable.The engine
compartment contains hot parts which could
start a fire if they come into contact .
BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap A fig. 171 and check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maximum level.
Fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark.
If you do need to top up, use the brake fluid shown
in the "Fluids and lubricants" table (see "Technical
Specifications"). When opening the cap A, make sure
that no dirt gets into the reservoir.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter with a mesh
of 0.12 mm or less for topping up.
