FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil that has been thoroughly developed and tested in order to meet the
requirements of the scheduled servicing plan. Constant use of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the fuel
consumption and emission specifications. Lubricant quality is crucial for engine operation and duration.

(1) The product used for initial filling and PARAFLU UP can be fully mixed, even though the colours may differ. PARAFLU UP may be used for topping up amounts of
up to 1 litre. Over this amount, we recommend completely changing the coolant in the percentages given.
(*) Do not top up or mix with other fluids which have different specifications from the ones described.
(**) When the vehicle is used in particularly harsh weather conditions, we recommend using a 60% mixture of PARAFLU UP and 40% demineralised water.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Smoke coming from underneath the vehicle
when starting the heating.This does not necessarily indicate a fault: the
smoke comes from the boiler.
In this case, the smoke will gradually
disappear when the passenger compartment
has reached the right temperature.
Smoke coming from the engine
compartment.Short circuit or leaks from the cooling circuit.Stop, remove the starter device, move away
from the vehicle and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The oil pressure warning light goes on in a
curve or when braking.The oil level is too low.Add engine oil (see the paragraph "Warning
lights and messages" in the chapter
"Knowing the instrument panel").
The oil pressure warning light goes on and
delays going off or stays on when you
accelerate.Low oil pressure. Stop and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Steering becomes hard. Power steering is overheating. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
Vibrations.Badly inflated tyres, badly balanced or
damaged.Check the tyre pressure; if the defect
persists, have it checked at a Fiat Dealership.
The engine overheats. The coolant liquid
temperature indicator is in the alarm area and
theSTOPwarning light goes on.The cooling fan is out of order.Stop, turn off the engine and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Coolant liquid leak.Check the coolant liquid tank: there should
be liquid in it. In not, contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
Coolant liquid boiling in the tank.
