SERVICING
PROCEDURES
The vehicle respects the recycling
criteria and scrapped vehicle
assessment that will become law in
2016.
Therefore, some of the vehicle’s
components are designed with their
ultimate recycling in mind.
These components can easily be
disassembled to be recovered and
reused in the recycling industry.
Moreover, thanks to its advanced
design, its original setup and its modest
fuel consumption, the vehicle complies
with the anti-pollution regulations in
force. We are actively committed to
reducing polluting gases and saving
energy. But the level of polluting gas
emissions and vehicle consumption
also depend on you. Take care to use
and service your vehicle correctly.
Keep in mind that lack of respect for
anti-pollution laws can expose the
vehicle's owner to administrative
sanctions. Moreover, replacing engine,
fuel system and exhaust parts with
other non-original ones voids the
vehicle's compliance with the
anti-pollution regulations.

SERVICING AND CARE

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.
