If when turning the ignition
key to M, the warning light
¬
does not turn on or stays on when
travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor number
of cases, they could trigger acciden-
tally. Contact Fiat Dealership imme-
diately to have the system checked.

WARNING
ENGINE COOLANT
HIGH TEMPERATURE
(red)
Turning the ignition key to Mthe warn-
ing light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the
engine is overheated.
The flashing of the warning lights indi-
cates a level of engine coolant which is
too low.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as
follows:
❒when driving normally: stop the
car, switch off the engine and check
that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MINmark. If it is,
wait for the engine to cool down,
then slowly and carefully open the
cap, top up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN
and MAXmarks on the reservoir.
Also check visually for any fluid leaks.
If, when restarting, the warning light
comes on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership;

HEAVY-DUTYShould prevailing use of the vehicle be un-
der one of the following specially heavy
conditions:❒
trailer or caravan towing;
❒
dusty roads;
❒
short distances (less than 7-8 km) re-
peated and with external tempera-
tures below zero;
❒
frequently idling engines or long dis-
tance low speed driving (e.g. door-to-
door deliveries) or in case of a long
term inactivity;
❒
driving in the city;
carry out the following checks more fre-
quently than required in the Service
Schedule:
❒
check front disk brake pad conditions
and wear;
❒
check cleanness of locks, bonnet and
boot and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion;
❒
sight inspect the conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber parts
(boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒
check battery charge and fluid level
(electrolyte);
❒
visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒
check and replace pollen filter, if
required;
❒
check and replace air cleaner, if
required.
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCEEvery 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:❒
engine coolant fluid level;
❒
brake fluid level;
❒
windscreen washer fluid level;
❒
tyre pressure and conditions;
❒
light system operation (headlights, di-
rection indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒
windscreen wiper/washer operation
and windscreen/rear window blade
position/wear;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
quired: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use PETRO-

MAINTENANCE
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, fan may cut in: danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose cloth-
ing might be pulled by moving parts.
WARNING
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 9
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall be within the MIN
and MAXmarks on the tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UP
of the PETRONAS LU-
BRICANTSthrough the filler neck Aun-
til the level reaches the MAXmark.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UP
and
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.

The engine cooling system us-
es protective antifreeze fluid
PARAFLU

fluid type as that already in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with
any other type of fluid. Should it hap-
pen, under no circumstances start the
engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised. Do not re-
move the reservoir cap when the en-
gine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
WARNING
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.
