CHECKING LEVELS
When topping up, take care not to mix up
the various types of fluids: they are not
compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compar tment : inflammable gases
and vapours may be present , constituting a fire
risk.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
Take out the dipstick A fig. 189 - fig. 190, clean it and
then fully reinsert it; take it out and check that the
level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
dipstick. The interval between MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN
mark, add oil via filler B fig. 190 until the MAX mark
is reached.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX. mark.IMPORTANT If the engine oil level after the check is
over the MAX level, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the correct level restored.
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 you check the
level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 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
driving style and the conditions under which the
vehicle is used.

IMPORTANT Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in the engine.
WARNING
Be very careful working in the engine
compartment when the engine is hot :
you may get burned. Remember that the fan
may start up if the engine is hot : this could
injure you. Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
Used engine oil and replaced oil filters
contain substances which are harmful to
the environment .To change oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level should be checked when the
engine is cold and should be between the MIN and
MAX lines on the vessel.
If the level is low, pour into the vessel through cap A
fig. 191 a 50% mixture of demineralised water and
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS PARAFLUUP.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLUUPand 50% distilled
water protects against freezing down to
temperatures of -35°C. For particularly harsh climate
conditions, we recommended using a mixture of
60% PARAFLUUPand 40% distilled water.

WARNING
Do not remove the reservoir cap when
the engine is very hot as there is a
risk of scalding.The cooling system is
pressurised. If the cap needs replacing, do so
with another original or the effectiveness of the
system may be compromised.
PARAFLUUP anti-freeze fluid is used in
the 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 occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
To add fluid lift the cap A fig. 192 and pour in a
mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35 fluid, in the following proportions:
30% of 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.
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen washer
reservoir is empty: using the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.

WARNING
Some commercial windscreen washer
additives are flammable.The engine
compartment contains hot parts which could
star t a fire if they come into contact .
BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap A fig. 193 and check that the liquid
contained in the reservoir is at the maximum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed
the MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the "Fluids and
lubricants" table (see "Technical Specifications").
When opening the cap A, make sure that no dirt
gets into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with integrated
filter with mesh equal to or lower than 0.12 mm.IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs moisture. For this
reason, if the vehicle is mainly used in areas with a
high degree of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should
be replaced at more frequent intervals than specified
in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact , immediately wash the affected parts
with water and mild soap.Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
WARNING
The symbol, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineralbased. Use of mineral type
fluids will damage the special rubber seals of
the braking system beyond repair.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Loose the cap A fig. 194: check that the fluid in the
reservoir is included between the MIN and MAX
on the reservoir.
The level may exceed the MAX mark when the oil is
hot. If topping up is required, make sure the oil
you use has the same specifications as that already in
the system.
WARNING
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: it is flammable.
Power steering fluid consumption is
extremely low; if another top-up is
required after only a short period of time,
have the system checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.

AIR CLEANER/ POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner or the pollen filter replaced by a
Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited maintenance” type:
under normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does
not need topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked regularly at a
Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make
sure it is working properly.
WARNING
The battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.
WARNING
Running the battery with an excessively
low liquid level will damage the battery
beyond repair and even cause an explosion.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with an original spare
part with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” will no longer be valid.
