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).

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER
FLUID fig. 180-181-182-183-184
To add fluid, remove cap D by manoeuvring the special
tab.
Pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSION-
AL SC 35 liquid, in the following concentrations:
30% 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.
Check level through the reservoir.
Close cap D by pressing on the centre section. ENGINE COOLANT fig. 180-181-182-183-184
The coolant level should be checked when the engine is
cold and should be between the MIN and MAX lines on
the reservoir. If the level is low, slowly pour into the reser-
voir filler neck Ca mixture of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP(made by PETRONAS LUBRICANTS)
until the level approaches MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UPand 50% distilled water
protects against freezing down to temperatures of –35°C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, we recom-
mended using a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40% dis-
tilled water.
PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used in the engine
cooling system. Use the same fluid as in the
cooling system when topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed with any other type of fluid. If this
happens, do not start the engine; contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
The cooling system is pressurised. If the cap
needs replacing, do so with another origi-
nal or the effectiveness of the system may be com-
promised. Do not remove the cap from the reservoir
when the engine is hot: you may get burned.
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen washer
reservoir is empty: using the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Some commercial windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment contains hot
parts which could cause a fire if they come into
contact with these additives.
