2014 FIAT PANDA engine

ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after
the engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked
on level ground.
For 1.2 8V 69 HP and 1.3 16V MultiJet
versionsfig. 152 fig. 153
Remove the engine oil dipstick B, clean it with a
cloth that does not leave any trace and reinsert it.
Extract the engine oil dipstick again 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 about 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN mark, add oil
through the filler A until it reaches the MAX mark.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX
mark.
For 0.9 TwinAir 65 HP fig. 150 and 0.9 TwinAir
85 HP versions fig. 151
The engine oil dipstick B is integral with plug A.
Loosen the plug, clean the dipstick with a cloth that
does not leave traces, reinsert the dipstick and
re-tighten the plug. Extract the plug again and check
that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.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 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.
Do not add oil with characteristics that
are different from those of the oil
currently in the engine.Used engine oil and filter contain harmful
substances for the environment .To change
the oil and filters, we advise you to
contact a Fiat Dealership.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".

PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this happens, do not start the
engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot : you risk scalding yourself.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
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 components which may set it on fire.BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the MAX
mark). If the fluid level in the tank is too low, undo
reservoir cap E (see previous pages) and add the fluid
described in the chapter "Technical Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir E and
the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated
filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced at
more frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.

BATTERYBattery F (see previous pages) does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Fiat Dealership
is, however, necessary to check efficiency.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If necessary, replace the battery with another
genuine battery with the same specifications. Follow
the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last
longer, observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the car, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly, to prevent
any roof lights from remaining on inside the
passenger's compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is
however equipped with a system which switches
all internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the
engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative battery pole;
❒Completely tighten the battery terminals.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50%
for a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this
can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to the paragraph
"Car inactivity" in "Starting and driving" if the car is
left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the car, you wish to install electrical
accessories which require permanent electrical
supply (alarm, etc.) or accessories which influence
the electrical supply requirements, contact a Fiat
Dealership, whose qualified staff will evaluate the
overall electrical consumption.
WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.

Avoid parking under trees as much as possible; the
resin from trees dulls the paintwork and increases
the possibility of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.
Detergents pollute the environment . Only
wash your car in areas equipped to collect
and treat wastewater from this type of
activity.In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the car.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent
scratching or altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently
with a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Front headlights
Use a soft, damp cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.
petrol) or ketones (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine
compartment thoroughly, taking care not to aim the
jet of water directly at the electronic control units or
at the windscreen wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. After the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or damaged.
