DEMANDING USE
OF THE CARShould the car be used predominantly in
one of the following particularly demand-
ing conditions:❒
trailer or caravan towing;
❒
dusty roads;
❒
short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated
journeys in sub-zero temperatures;
❒
frequently idling engine or long-dis-
tance, low-speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or lengthy inactivity;
you should perform the following inspec-
tions more frequently than shown on the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒
check front disc brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒
check cleanliness of bonnet and boot
locks, and cleanliness and lubrication of
linkages;
❒
visually inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒
check battery charge and liquid level
(electrolyte);
❒
visually inspect the condition of the ac-
cessory drive belts;
❒
check pollen filter and replace, if re-
quired;
❒
check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKSEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions.
❒
operation of lights (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒
operation of the windscreen wiper/
washer system, position and wear of
the windscreen and rear window wiper
blades;
Every 3,000 km, check and top up, if re-
quired, the engine oil level.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have been
designed and produced specifically for
Fiat cars (see table “Capacities” in the
“Technical specifications” section).

Never smoke while working
in the engine compartment:
inflammable gases and vapours may
be present, constituting a fire risk.

When topping up, take care
not to confuse the various
types of fluids: they are not
interchangeable and could se-
riously damage the car.

AND CARE
If the oil level is close to or under MIN,
add oil through the filler neck A, until the
level reaches MAX.
The oil level should never exceed MAX.ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 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 de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level. ENGINE OIL fig. 5-6
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
The oil level should be between the MIN
and MAXmarks on the dipstick B.
The gap between MINand MAXis equal
to around 1 litre of oil.

PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is
used in the engine cooling sys-
tem. Use the same fluid as in
the cooling system when top-
ping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this hap-
pens, do not start the engine; contact
a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If the cap needs re-
placing, do so with another original
or the effectiveness of the system may
be compromised. Do not remove the
cap from the reservoir when the en-
gine is hot: you may get burned
WARNING
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 7
The coolant level must be checked when
the engine is cold and must be between
the MINand MAXlines on the vessel.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture
of 50% demineralised water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP
(made by PETRONAS LU-
BRICANTS) through the filler neck
Auntil the level reaches MAX.
The 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and
demineralised water gives freeze protec-
tion up to −35°C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions,
a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40%
distilled water is recommended.
Used engine oil and the re-
placed oil filter contain sub-
stances that may be harmful
to the environment. It is ad-
visable to have oil and filters changed
by a Fiat Dealership, where they will be
disposed of properly and in accordance
with the law.
Do not add oil with different
characteristics to those of the
existing engine oil. Be very careful working in
the engine compartment
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 loose fitting garments
do not get caught up in moving parts.
