SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes
(about 5) after the engine has
stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
The oil level must be between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick
B fig. 207 - fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig.
210 - fig. 211 - fig. 212.
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
fig. 207 - fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig.
210 - fig. 211 - fig. 212, until it
reaches the MAX mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil
consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the
engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on the driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle
is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or
changing the oil, let the engine turn
over for a few seconds and wait a
few minutes after turning it off before
checking oil level.

ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir. If the level is
low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
distilled water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
byPETRONAS LUBRICANTS
through the filler neck C fig. 207 -
fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211
- fig. 212 until the level approaches
MAX.The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UP
and 50% distilled water protects
against freezing down to
temperatures of –35°C. For
particularly harsh climate conditions,
we recommended using a mixture
of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40%
distilled water.

Remove the cap D fig. 207 - fig. 208
- fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig.
212 using the special tab, to add
fluid.
Use a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 fluid, in the
following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35 and 70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35 and 50% water in winter.
At temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL
SC 35 fluid.

Check fluid level through the
reservoir.
Close cap D by pressing on the
central section.
129)
BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap E fig. 207 - fig. 208 -
fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig.
212: check that the fluid contained
in the reservoir is at the maximum
level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the
"Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical Specifications").
NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap
E and surrounding surfaces.
Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh
equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.IMPORTANT Brake fluid 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”.

POWER STEERING
FLUID
Check that the oil level with the
vehicle on flat ground and the
engine cold is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir body
G fig. 207 - fig. 208 - fig. 209 -
fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig. 212.
The level may exceed the MAX mark
when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure
the oil you use has the same
specifications as that already in the
system.

WARNING
126) Never smoke while working in
the engine compartment: gas
and flammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.
127) When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the
engine is hot, the fan may
operate: danger of injury. Scarves,
ties and other loose clothing may
be pulled by moving parts.
128) The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary, only
replace the cap with another
original one or the operation of
the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the
engine is hot: danger of scalding.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

129) Do not travel with the
windscreen washer fluid reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer
is essential for improving visibility.
Some commercial windscreen
washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains
hot parts which could cause a
fire if they come into contact with
these additives.
130) Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately
wash the affected parts with
water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Consult a doctor
immediately if you swallow the
fluid.
131) The symbol
on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
which is different from a mineral
fluid. Using a mineral-type fluid
will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system
beyond repair.
132) Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact with
hot engine parts: it is flammable.
IMPORTANT
31) When topping up, take care not
to mix up the various types of
fluids: they are not compatible
with each other and could
seriously damage the vehicle.
32) Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already
in the engine.
33) PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used
in the engine cooling system. Use
the same fluid as in the cooling
system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with
any other type of fluid. If this
happens, do not start the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
34) Avoid allowing brake fluid, which
is extremely corrosive, to come
into contact with painted areas.
Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.
35) Do not press the power steering
end of travel lock for longer than 8
consecutive seconds with the
engine running because it will
cause noise and risk damaging
the system.
IMPORTANT
3) Used engine oil and oil filters
contain substances which are
harmful to the environment. It is
advisable to have oil and filters
changed by a Fiat Dealership,
where they will be disposed of
properly and in accordance with
the law.
4) Power steering fluid consumption
is extremely low; if another top-up
is required after only a short
period of time, have the system
checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.

IMPORTANT
36) The presence of water in the
supply circuit may cause severe
damage to the injection system
and irregular engine operation. If
the
warning light comes on,
go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the system bled.
If this problem is indicated
immediately after refuelling, water
may have entered the fuel tank.
In this case, immediately turn off
the engine and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited
maintenance” type: under normal
conditions of use, the electrolyte
does not need topping up with
distilled water.
It does, however, need to be
checked periodically at a Fiat
Dealership or by specialist personnel
to make sure it is working correctly.
133) 134)
REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with
an original spare part with the same
specifications.
If a battery with different
specifications is fitted, the service
intervals given in the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan” will no longer be
valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.

USEFUL TIPS FOR
EXTENDING BATTERY
LIFE
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
❒when you park the vehicle, 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
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which
switches all internal lights off
automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning 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 starting.The battery is also more prone to
the risk of freezing (already at
temperatures of -10°C). Refer to the
paragraph "Vehicle inactivity" in
"Starting and driving" if the vehicle is
left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want
to install electric accessories which
require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) contact a Fiat
Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices from the
Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate
the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle's
electrical system is capable of
withstanding the load required, or
whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since some of these devices
continue to consume electricity even
when the engine is off, they
gradually run down the battery.
WARNING
133) Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk
of explosion or fire.
134) Using the battery when the fluid
is too low can damage it
irreparably and generate a risk of
explosion.
135) When performing any operation
on the battery or near it, always
protect your eyes with special
goggles.
