2014 FIAT BRAVO change time

WARNING
Depress the clutch pedal fully to change
gear correctly. It is therefore essential
that there is nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do not get
in the way of the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight , could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
SAVING FUELSome useful tips are given below for fuel saving and
reducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other
pollutants [nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Particulate Matter (PM) etc.].
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car (especially when driving in town) and
its ride greatly affects consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption levels.
When transporting particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.

Low engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together
(for versions/markets, where provided) with a
message on the display when the system detects that
the engine oil pressure is too low.
WARNING
If the warning light
turns on when
the car is travelling (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Engine oil degraded
(versions with DPF only)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will
appear on the display (for versions/markets, where
provided). The warning light may flash in the
following ways, depending on the version:
❒for 1 minute every two hours;
❒cycles of 3 minutes with intervals with the warning
light off for 5 seconds until the oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
warning light will continue flashing as described
above until the oil is changed. The display (for
versions/markets, where provided), shows a
dedicated message together with the warning light.The flashing of this warning light should not be
considered as a fault; it informs the customer that
the oil needs to be changed following normal car use.
Note that engine oil degrades faster under the
following circumstances:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent;
❒use of the car for short drives, in which the engine
does not have time to reach its regular operating
temperature;
❒repeated interruption of the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF warning light coming on.
WARNING
If the warning light switches on, the
deteriorated engine oil must be changed
as soon as possible, and never more than 500
km from the first time that the warning light
switches on. Failure to observe the above
indication may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember
that the operation of this warning light is not
related to the amount of oil in the engine.
Therefore, never top up with oil when the
warning light starts flashing.

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will be
modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a space-saver wheel.
Have the tyre repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver wheels
at the same time is forbidden. Do not grease the
threads of bolts before fitting them: they might
slip out .
WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to be
used for replacing wheels on the car
with which it is supplied, or on same-model
vehicles. Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other car models. Never use it
for repair operations under the car. Incorrectly
positioning the jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than the
one shown on its label. Never install snow
chains on the space-saver wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and you need to
use snow chains, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel on
the rear axle. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the hub cap correctly to prevent it
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never introduce
tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
referring to the values shown in the "Technical
data" chapter.
