2016 FIAT TIPO 4DOORS oil level

152)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
43)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping up
with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your vehicle.
44)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX. mark.
45)Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in the
engine.
46)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use fluid of the
same type as that contained in the cooling
system for any top-ups. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any other type of
fluid. If this happens, do not start the
engine under any circumstances and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
47)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
48)If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.49)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (e.g. anti-theft, radio phone,
etc.), go to a Fiat Dealership, which will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.
IMPORTANT
2)The used engine oil and the filter that has
been replaced contain substances that are
harmful to the environment. To change the
oil and filters, we advise you to contact a
Fiat Dealership.
3)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to contact a
Fiat Dealership to have the fluid changed.
4)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
BATTERY
RECHARGING
IMPORTANT NOTES
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
To carry out this operation contact a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT After setting the ignition
device to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
battery, make sure that the ignition
device is in the STOP position and the
driver side door is closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If a
139

"quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,
before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use a
"quick-type" battery charger to provide
the starting voltage.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when it is recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the terminal to the
negative battery pole.
VERSIONS WITH
STOP/START SYSTEM
(where provided)
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the connector 1
fig. 142 (pressing the button 2) from the
sensor 3 monitoring the battery
conditions, on the negative pole (–) 4 of
the battery;
connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the positive battery
terminal 5 and the negative cable (–) to
sensor terminal 4 as shown;
turn on the battery charger. At the
end of the charging process, switch the
battery charger off;
after having disconnected the
charging device, reconnect connector 1
to the sensor 3 as shown.
SERVICING
PROCEDURES
50) 51) 52)
The following pages contain the rules
on therequiredmaintenance
envisaged by the technical personnel
who designed the vehicle.
In addition to these specific
maintenance instructions specified for
routine scheduled servicing, there are
other components which may require
intervention or replacements over the
vehicle’s life cycle.
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
53)
To ensure correct engine lubrication, the
oil must always be kept at the
prescribed level (see "Engine
compartment" in this chapter).
ENGINE OIL FILTER
Replacing the engine oil filter
The engine oil filter must be replaced
each time the engine oil is changed.
It is advisable to replace it with a
genuine spare part, specifically
designed for this vehicle.

SERVICING AND CARE

AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
(where provided)
57)
Use only a gearbox oil with the same
characteristics as those indicated in the
"Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical specifications" chapter).
Special additives
Do not use any type of additive with the
automatic transmission oil. The
automatic transmission oil is a product
designed specially for this vehicle and
its performance may be compromised
through the use of further additives.
Avoid the use of transmission sealers,
since they may compromise the
efficiency of the automatic transmission
seals.
IMPORTANT Do not use chemicals to
flush the transmission, since this may
damage its components.
Frequency of oil changes
In normal vehicle operating conditions,
it is not necessary to change the
transmission oil.
If oil leaks are noticed or irregular
operation of the transmission is
detected, have it checked immediately
at a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Driving the vehicle with an
insufficient oil level may cause serious
damage to the transmission.
WARNING
153)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine. DO
NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine,
ensure that the system has not been
removed: failure to observe this precaution
may result in serious injury.
154)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous, and may be lethal. They
contain carbon monoxide, a colourless,
odourless gas which can cause fainting
and poisoning if inhaled.
155)The exhaust system may reach high
temperatures and may cause a fire if the
vehicle is parked on flammable material.
Dry grass or leaves can also catch fire if
they come into contact with the exhaust
system. Do not park or use the vehicle in a
place in which the exhaust system might
come into contact with flammable material.
IMPORTANT
50)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Fiat Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations and
small servicing interventions personally on
the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.
51)Incorrect servicing of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
malfunction inspected immediately by a Fiat
Dealership.
52)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
which are optimised or protecting its
performance and life and extending service
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may damage
the engine, the gearbox or the climate
control system. This damage is not covered
by the vehicle’s warranty. If any component
needs to be washed due to malfunctioning,
use only the specific liquid for that
procedure.
53)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil inside the base is extremely damaging to
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
