2014 FIAT STRADA air filter

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Environmental protection has
governed every stage in the design
and production of the Fiat Strada.
This has resulted in the use of
materials and the calibration of
devices which reduce or drastically
limit negative environmental impact.
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel engine emissions:
– oxidising catalytic converter;
– exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.).
– particulate filter (DPF). Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be regenerated
(cleaned) at regular intervals by
burning carbon particles. The
regeneration procedure is managed
automatically by the engine
management control unit according
to the filter conditions and vehicle
use conditions.
During regeneration, the following
may occur: a limited increase in the
engine speed, activation of the fan, a
limited increase in fumes and high
temperatures at the exhaust. These
are not faults; they do not impair
vehicle performance or damage the
environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, refer to
Warning lights and messages in this
section. DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral with the
exhaust system, that physically traps
particulates present in the exhaust
gases of diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all
particulates in compliance with
current/future legal regulations.
During normal use of the vehicle,
the engine management control unit
records a set of data (travel time,
type of route, temperatures, etc.)
and it will then calculate how much
particulate has been trapped by the
filter.

PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
journeys, check and, if necessary, top
up the following:
– engine coolant level;
– brake fluid level;
– windscreen washer fluid level;
– tyre pressure and conditions;
– operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators,
hazard warning lights, etc.);
– operation of windscreen
washer/wiper system and
position/wear of windscreen/rear
window wiper blades;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
You are advised to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have
been designed and produced
specifically for Fiat vehicles (see table
“Capacities” in the “Technical
specifications” section).
DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
– towing a trailer or caravan;
– dusty roads;
– short, repeated journeys (less
than 7-8 km) at sub-zero
temperatures;
– engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more frequently than indicated
in 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:
engine, gearbox, transmission,
pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel/brakes), rubber parts
(boots/sleeves/bushes, etc.);
– check battery charge and fluid
level (electrolyte);
– visually inspect the condition of
the accessory drive belts;
– check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
– check pollen filter and replace, if
required;
– check air cleaner and replace, if
required.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid is
hygroscopic (i.e. it absorbs
moisture). For this reason, if the
vehicle 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.AIR CLEANER
Air cleaner replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
POLLEN FILTER
Pollen filter replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
The symbol πon the
container indicates
synthetic brake fluid,
distinguishing it from the
mineral kind. Use of a mineral
type fluid will damage the
special rubber seals of the
braking system beyond repair.
