SERVICING AND CARE

ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes after
stopping the engine (about 5 minutes)
with the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN. and
MAX. marks on the dipstick B fig. 208 -
fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig. 213 -
fig. 214 - fig. 215.
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
line, add oil through the filler Afig. 208 -
fig. 209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig. 213
- fig. 214 - fig. 215, until it reaches the
MAX line.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
The engine needs to run in when the
vehicle is new, and therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption depends
on driving style and conditions of use
of the vehicle.
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.137)

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
UPby
PETRONAS LUBRICANTSthrough
the filler neck C fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig.
210 - fig. 211 - fig. 213 - fig. 214 -
fig. 215, until the level approaches
MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UPand
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.

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHING FLUID
Remove the cap D fig. 208 - fig. 209 -
fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig. 213 - fig. 214
- fig. 215, 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

BRAKE FLUID
Undo cap E fig. 208 - fig. 209 - fig. 210
- fig. 211 - fig. 213 - fig. 214 - fig. 215
and check that the liquid 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.
187

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. 208 - fig.
209 - fig. 210 - fig. 211 - fig. 213 - fig.
214 - fig. 215.
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
136)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
137)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 might be pulled by
moving parts.
138)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
139)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 components which may set it
on fire.
140)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. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.141)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Using
a mineral-type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system beyond
repair.
142)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
WARNING
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 existing 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 occurs, do not
start the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately.
34)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
35)Do not press on the power steering
end of travel with engine on for more than
8 consecutive seconds, since noise is
produced and there is a risk of system
damages.

SERVICING AND CARE

WARNING
2)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. Contact a Fiat Dealership to
have the oil and filters changed. They
are equipped to dispose of the used oil
and filters respecting nature and the law.
3)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.
AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter
replaced by a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
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.
189

To correctly wash the vehicle, proceed
as follows:
wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois.
If you put the vehicle through a car
wash, follow these recommendations:
– remove the aerial from the roof so
it does not get damaged;
– water added to a soapy solution
should be used for washing;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks
staying on the bodywork or less visible
parts.
39)Dry the less visible parts with special
care, 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 corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
5)
Windows
To clean glasses, use specific cleaning
products. Use clean cloths to avoid
scratching the glass or damaging the
transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of
the rear window gently with a cloth in
the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heater coils.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly
wash the engine compartment, taking
care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units
and the relay/fuse box on the left side
of the engine compartment (driving
direction). Have this operation
performed at a specialised workshop.IMPORTANT The washing should take
place with the engine cold and the
ignition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the front headlights.
WARNING
39)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.
WARNING
5)Detergents cause water pollution. The
vehicle should be washed in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
