REPLACING A BULB
34) 19)
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒ Before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒ burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒ always check the headlight beam
aiming after changing a bulb;
❒ whenever a lamp does not work,
please check that the
corresponding fuse is in tact before
replacing it: please refer to the
paragraph “Replacing fuses” in this
chapter for the location of fuses.
IMPORTANT Whenever the weather is
hot or cold, of after heavy rain, the
surface of the headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form droplets of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of
the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the
centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

LPG versions
The LPG system components are
protected by specific fuses.
Contact a Fiat Dealership for
replacement.
The number identifying the electrical
component corresponding to each
fuse is shown on the cover fig. 131.

must be changed every year.
(4) For 0.9 TwinAir versions, the following are essential to ensure correct operation of the engine: only use spark plugs of the same make
and type which are specially certified for such engines (see the information in the “Engine” paragraph in the “Technical specifications”
chapter); strictly comply with the spark plug replacement interval given in the Scheduled Servicing Plan; for spark plug replacement, it is
advisable to contact a FIAT Dealership.

ENGINE COOLANT
39) 22) 23)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the
MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection
up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used in particularly
harsh weather conditions, we
recommend using a 60% mixture of
PARAFLU
UPand 40% of demineralised
water.
CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL
39) 22) 26) 4)
Check the engine oil level a few
minutes (about five) after the engine
has stopped, with the car parked on
level ground.
The oil level must be within the MIN
and MAX marks on the dipstick.
NOTE
The dipstick is integrated in the engine
oil cap for 0.9 TwinAir 60 HP*, 65 HP,
80 HP*, 85 HP and 105 HP versions.
❒ The range between the MIN and
MAX marks corresponds to about 1
litre of oil.
❒ If the level of the oil is close to or
below the MIN mark, add oil via the
filler fitting until the MAX mark is
reached.
❒ The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
❒ The maximum engine oil
consumption is usually 400 grams
every 1000 km.
* For versions/markets, where provided
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER
FLUID
39) 22)
Use a mixture of water and
PETRONAS DURANCE
SC35 fluid, in the following
concentrations:
❒ 30% PETRONAS DURANCE
SC35 and 70% water in summer.
❒ 50% PETRONAS DURANCE
SC35 and 50% water in winter.
BRAKE FLUID 39) 22)
The fluid level in the reservoir must not
exceed the MAX mark.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is
hygroscopic (i.e. it 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”.
