SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
CAPABILITY
(for versions/markets where available)
On cars equipped with the Blue&Me ™system, there
may be (on request) a setup for installing the
Blue&Me™ TomTom
®satellite navigation system, which
is available from Lineaccessori Abarth.
Install the navigation system by inserting the specific
support bracket into the housing shown in fig. 104.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electrical supply
(sound system, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case burden the electric supply,
contact an Abarth Dealership, whose qualified personnel,
besides suggesting the most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Abarth, will also evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the car’s electric
system is able to withstand the load required, or
whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful
battery.
Take care when fitting additional spoilers,
alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs:
they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes
and affect efficiency during sharp, repeated
braking or on long descents. Make sure that
nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.)

ENGINE OIL fig. 167
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the
engine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
Check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
corresponds to about 1 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 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to 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 car usage conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after switching it off before checking the level.
When the engine is hot, take care when
working inside the engine compartment
to avoid burns. Remember that when the engine
is hot, the fan may operate: danger of injury.
Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose
fitting garments: they may get caught by moving
components.
WARNING
Do not add any oil with different
specifications to those of the existing
engine oil.
