2017 FIAT TALENTO service schedule

Level control
Regularly check the coolant liquid level
(the engine could suffer serious damage
if the coolant liquid is out).
If you need to top up, only use products
approved by the Fiat Dealership, which
ensures:
antifreeze protection;
anti-corrosion protection in the
cooling circuit.
Replacement of
Refer to the Scheduled Service Plan (in
this chapter).

Filling
With the engine off, open cap 3
fig. 269. Fill it until you see the liquid,
then close the cap again.Fluid
Window washing liquid (antifreeze
product in winter)
WARNING
185)When you top up the oil, be careful
not to let oil drops fall on the engine parts,
risking a fire. Do not forget to close the cap
correctly, otherwise you could cause a fire
due to the oil splashes on parts of the hot
engine.
186)If replacing oil to a hot engine, be
careful of burn risk caused by oil backflow.
187)The engine must be stopped before
performing any operation in the engine
compartment.
188)Do not turn the engine over in a
closed space: the exhaust gases are toxic.
189)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper arm is in the stopped
position. Risk of injury.190)No intervention on the cooling system
should be effected when the engine is hot.
Danger of burns.
191)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
192)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
193)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with an aluminium cap (for
versions/markets where provided).
WARNING: risk of burns!
194)The cooling system is pressurised. If
the cap needs replacing, do so with
another original or the effectiveness of the
system may be compromised. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
195)Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of
the system without fluid could damage or
cause rapid deterioration of some system
components.
196)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.

197)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.
198)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will irreparably damage the
braking system’s special rubber seals.
IMPORTANT
44)In any case, you should not exceed the
maximum filling level: you risk damaging the
engine and catalytic converter. If the
maximum level is exceeded, do not start
the engine: please see a Fiat Dealership.
45)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 the vehicle.
46)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX. mark.
47)Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in the
engine.
48)PARAFLU UP protective anti-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 fluid 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.49)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
IMPORTANT
5)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.
FILTERS
Replacement of filtering components
(air filter, passenger compartment filter,
oil filter, etc.) is provided in the vehicle's
Scheduled Service Plan.
Replacement
Please see the Scheduled Service Plan.

SERVICING AND CARE

BODYWORK
210) 211)
7)
If it undergoes correct service, the
vehicle can last longer. Therefore, we
advise you to regularly see to servicing
the exterior of your vehicle.
The vehicle takes advantage of the
most advanced anti-corrosion
technology. However, it is subject to
various factors.
Atmospheric corrosive agents.
Pollution (in cities and industry);
atmospheric salinity (coastal areas,
especially in warm weather);
seasonal weather conditions and
hygrometrics (salt spread on roads in
winter, street washing water, etc.).
Abrasive actions
Atmospheric dust, sand, mud, gravel
spattered from other vehicles, etc.
You need to take precautions against
these risk factors.
What not to do
Remove traces of oil or clean the
mechanical components (e.g. the
engine compartment), underbody,
components with hinges (e.g. inside the
doors) and exterior parts made of
painted plastic (e.g. bumpers) using
high pressure cleaners or by using
products that have not been approved
by the Fiat Dealership. This could cause
rust or poor operation.Wash the vehicle in the sun or at low
temperatures.
Scrape off the mud or dirt without first
softening it with water.
Allow dirt to build up on the exterior.
Allow rust to form on damaged parts of
the body.
Dissolve spots with solvents not
approved of by Fiat service; they could
damage the paint.
Drive in snow or mud without washing
the vehicle afterwards, especially the
wheel arches and underbody.
What to do
Wash your vehicle frequently, with the
engine stopped, with shampoos
approved by our Fiat Dealer technicians
(never with abrasives) and rinse
thoroughly with sprayed water:
resin from trees or industrial
substances;
mud, which forms a wet mass under
the wheel arches and underbody;
bird guano, which causes a chemical
reaction with the paint, causing rapid
discolouring and can even cause the
paint to detach;
you must remove these spots, as
over time, not even polishing will
remove them;
salt, especially in the wheel arches
and underbody, after driving on roads
where anti-ice substances have been
spread.Regularly remove resin, leaves etc., that
has fallen on the vehicle.
Respect the local laws concerning
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your
vehicle in the road).
To prevent damage to the bodywork,
keep an adequate distance from other
cars in front when you drive on gravel.
If the paint is damaged, retouch it
quickly to prevent corrosion from
forming.
If the vehicle has an anti-corrosion
warranty, do not forget to have it
checked periodically. Please see the
Scheduled Service Plan.
If you have to clean the mechanical
parts (e.g. hinges), you need to have
the protection renewed by using
products approved by the Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT We have selected
products specific to maintenance
available at Fiat sales points.
Versions with matt paint
This type of vehicle requires a few
precautions.
What not to do
use wax-based products (gloss);
polish vigorously;
use automatic car washers;
wash the car with high pressure
cleaners;
apply stickers to the painted surfaces
(they might leave traces).
