ENGINE OIL
60) 61)3)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
five) after the engine has stopped,
with the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick B. If the oil level is near or even
under the MIN mark, add oil using the
filler A to reach the MAX mark.
NOTE For the 0.9 TwinAir and 0.9
TwinAir Turbo versions, engine oil
dipstick B is integral with the cap A.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000
km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the
level.ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
160)62)
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 too low, unscrew reservoir
cap C and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" section.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHING FLUID
161)
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap
D (see previous pages) and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
BRAKE FLUID
162) 163)63)
Check that the fluid is at the maximum
level (the fluid level in the reservoir
must not exceed the MAX mark). If the
fluid level in the reservoir is too low,
undo reservoir cap E and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
DUALOGIC GEARBOX
HYDRAULIC ACTIVATION
SYSTEM OIL
4)
The fluid level should only be checked
at a Fiat Dealership.BATTERY
164) 165) 166) 167)
64)5)
Battery F does not require topping up
the electrolyte with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Fiat
Dealership is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked at a
Fiat Dealership.

SERVICING AND CARE
Page 143 of 216

WARNING
158)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
159)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned.
160)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
161)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it
on fire.
162)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.
163)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.164)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.
165)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
166)If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid
it freezing.
167)Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on or near the battery.
WARNING
59)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.
60)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
61)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already existing in
the engine.
62)PARAFLU
UPantifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. If this occurs, do not
start the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately.63)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
64)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 (anti-theft, phone, etc.),
contact a Fiat Dealership, which
will suggest the most appropriate devices
for your vehicle, and will, most importantly,
advise you if a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.
WARNING
3)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters,
we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
4)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to have the oil
changed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of respecting the
environment and according to legal
requirements.
5)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
