ENGINE OIL
150)
70) 71)
4)
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick A. If the oil level is near or even
under the MIN mark, add oil using the
filler B to reach the MAX mark. Take out
the engine oil dipstick A, clean it with
a lint-free cloth and reinsert it. Extract
the engine oil dipstick again and check
that the level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick. On 0.9
TwinAir Turbo 105 HP versions,
unscrew the cap, clean the dipstick
with a lint-free cloth, reinsert the
dipstick and screw the cap back on.
Unscrew the cap again and check that
the engine oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption: the
maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000
km.
ENGINE COOLANT

72)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir C and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
152) 153)
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
"Technical Specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system will not operate when the fluid
level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. On some
versions there is a reference notch on
the dipstick: ONLY the windscreen/rear
window washer operates with the
level below this reference.BRAKE FLUID
154) 155)
73)
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo reservoir cap E and add the
fluid described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
DUALOGIC GEARBOX
CONTROL OIL
5)
The gearbox control oil level should only
be checked at a Fiat Dealership.BATTERY
156) 157) 158) 159)
6)
The battery 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.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
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.
