ENGINE OIL
Engine oil check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
Take out the dipstick A fig. 168, clean it and then
fully reinsert it; take it out and check that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The interval between MIN and MAX corresponds to
about 1 litre of oil.Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under the MIN line,
add oil through the filler B fig. 168 to reach the MAX
line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level after the check is
over the MAX level, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the correct level restored.
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 you check the
level.

Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for
maintenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, mobile phone, etc .): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you if a higher
capacity batter y needs to be installed.Batteries contain substances that are very
harmful to the environment .You are
recommended to go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the batter y replaced where the old
battery will be disposed of respecting both the
environment and the laws in force.If the vehicle needs to be off the road for
a long period under conditions of intense
cold, remove the battery and take it to
a heated place, otherwise it may freeze.
WARNING
When performing any operation on the
battery or near it , always protect your
eyes with the special goggles.USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last
longer, follow these instructions closely:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the doors, boot
and bonnet are closed properly so that the ceiling
lights do not stay on;
❒turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does
have an automatic system for switching off internal
lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard
lights, etc.) switched on for a long time when the
engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒make sure that battery terminals are always be
perfectly tight.

❒the car wash should use water added to a soapy
solution;
❒rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks staying on
the bodywork or less visible parts.
Some car washes with old-style blades
and/or in a poor state of repair can
damage the paintwork, facilitating the
formation of lines that give the paint a dull/misty
appearance, especially on dark colours. If this
happens, lightly polish the paintwork with
appropriate products.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such
as the door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more easily. It is a good
idea to leave the vehicle outdoors for a while after
washing it to give water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the
sun or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine
of the paintwork.Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do
not park the vehicle under trees; the resinous
substances released by many species give the paint a
dull appearance and increase the possibility of rust.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution.The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
