ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check fig. 203-fig. 204-fig. 205
fig. 206
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after
the engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked
on level ground.
Take out engine oil dipstick A, 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 range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to approximately 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN
mark, add oil via the filler fitting B until the MAX
mark is reached.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 run for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after switching it off before checking
the level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is
approximately 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the vehicle,
the engine is bedding in, therefore the engine
oil consumption may settle down only after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on
driving style and the conditions under which the car
is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already in the engine.
WARNING
When the engine is hot , take care when
working inside the engine compartment
to avoid burns. 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.Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment .To change the oil and
filters, we advise you to contact a Fiat
Dealership.
ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must be above the MIN mark on the
reservoir, see fig. fig. 207-fig. 208
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
by
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through cap A.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UP
and 50%
demineralised water protects against freezing down
to temperatures of -35°C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, we
recommended using a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralised water.

PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if
possible made from microfibre), and a solution
of water and neutral, non-abrasive detergent. To
clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products
free from solvents and designed to maintain the
original appearance and colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if
necessary moistened with water. The use of paper
tissues is not recommended as these may leave
residues.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to
clean the instrument panel.LEATHER STEERING WHEEL/GEAR
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
These components must be cleaned with mild soap
and water only. Never use alcohol or alcohol-based
products.
Read the product label carefully before using
specific products for cleaning the interiors: make
sure the product does not contain alcohol or
alcohol-based substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with special
products, window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the leather of the steering wheel/gear lever
knob/hand brake, wipe away immediately and then
wash the affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when using a steering
wheel lock device, where applicable, to avoid
damaging the leather upholstery by rubbing.
