Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the digital warning light switches on, but
it should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with the message in
the display when the system detects that the engine oil pressure is
insufficient.
12)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a message on the display
(for versions/markets, where provided) when the system detects that the
engine oil has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the vehicle is faulty,
but simply informs the driver that it is now necessary to change the
engine oil as a result of regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, when
a second deterioration threshold is reached, the
warning light also
switches on in the instrument panel and the engine operation is limited to
3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration threshold is
reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
50) 51)
Remember that the
deterioration of the engine
oil is accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the
vehicle which makes the
DPF regeneration process
more frequent
– use of the vehicle for
short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching
operating temperature
– repeated interruption of
the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
journeys, check and, if necessary, top
up the following:
❒engine coolant level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators,
hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear screen wiper blades
(for versions/markets where
provided);
Every 3,000 km check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
❒towing a trailer or motorhome;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
❒engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long
periods of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect condition of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel system -
brakes) and rubber elements (boots -
sleeves - bushes - etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect conditions of the
auxiliary drive belts;❒check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
❒replacement of air cleaner cartridge
every 15,000 km.

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.

3)
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.

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
To top up, remove the cap D fig. 211 -
fig. 212 - fig. 213 - fig. 214 - fig. 215
- fig. 216 - fig. 217, operating on the
special tab.
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.

BRAKE FLUID
Release cap E fig. 211 - fig. 212 - fig.
213 - fig. 214 - fig. 215 - fig. 216 -
fig. 217: check that the liquid contained
in the tank is at the maximum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAX mark.
