Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL
When turning the ignition key to MAR, the warning light turns on but it
should go off after a few seconds.
This warning light appears on the panel when the engine oil level falls
below the minimum recommended value.
On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.Restore the correct
engine oil level (see
“Checking fluid levels” in
the "Servicing and
maintenance" section).
redINCOMPLETE DOOR LOCKING
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when one or more doors
or the boot are not properly closed.
A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and the vehicle is
moving.
WARNING
48) If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on when driving (together with
the message on the display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners
may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
49) Failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light coming on. In this case, thewarning light may
not indicate a fault in the restraint systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
50) Deteriorated engine oil must be replaced as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on, and never more
than 500 km after it first switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level
of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top up the engine oil.
51) If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.

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.
Check the level is within the MIN. and
MAX. marks on the dipstick B. fig.
211 - fig. 212 - fig. 213 - fig. 214 - fig.
215 - fig. 216 - fig. 217.
The range between the MIN and MAX
marks corresponds to about 1 litre
of oil.
If the level of the oil is close to or below
the MIN mark, add oil via the filler
neck A fig. 211 - fig. 212 - fig. 213 - fig.
214 - fig. 215 - fig. 216 - fig. 217, until
the MAX mark is reached.
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 fig. 211 - fig. 212 - fig.
213 - fig. 214 - fig. 215 - fig. 216 -
fig. 217 a mixture of 50% distilled water
and 50% PARAFLU
UPbyPETRONAS
LUBRICANTSthrough the filler neck
C 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.
