❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving or in the case of long term inactivity;
❒the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter.
❒ check and, if necessary, replace pollen 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.

Never smoke while
working in the engine

Fire hazard.
WARNING
When topping up, be
careful not to confuse the
various types of fluids:
they are all mutually incompati-
ble and may severely damage
your vehicle.
fig. 181 – 1.4 T-JET versionsF0V0390m

ENGINE OIL fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
Check the oil level a few minutes after stopping the engine
(about 5 minutes) with the vehicle parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The gap between the MIN and MAX marks corresponds
to about one 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 1,000 km.
The engine needs to run in when the vehicle is new, and
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption depends on driving style
and conditions of use of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after turning it off before you check the level.

Be very careful working in the engine com-
partment 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 items of loose-fit-
ting clothing do not get caught up in moving com-
ponents.
WARNING
Do not add oil with different characteris-
tics from those of the existing engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that are harmful to
the environment. It is advisable to have oil
and filters changed by a Fiat Dealership, where they
will be disposed of properly and in accordance with
the law.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHER
FLUID fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
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. 180-181-182-183-184-185
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 C
a 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.

POWER STEERING FLUID
fig. 180-181-182-183-184-185
Check that oil level with the vehicle on flat ground and en-
gine cold is included between the MIN and MAX refer-
ences on the reservoir body.
The level may go over the MAX line when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the oil you use has the
same specifications as that already in the system.Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the system
checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure there are no
leaks.
Do not push the power steering all the way
for longer than eight seconds with the en-
gine running because it will cause noise and
risk damaging the system.
Because it is flammable, do not allow the
power steering fluid to come into contact
with hot parts of the engine.

The battery fluid is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.
WARNING
AIR FILTER/POLLEN FILTER
Have the air filter or the pollen filter replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
DIESEL FILTER
CONDENSATION DISCHARGE
(Multijet versions)
BAT T ERY
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.
The presence of water in the supply circuit
may cause severe damage to the injection
system and irregular engine operation. If
the warning light
ccomes on, go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
