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”.

WINDSCREEN WASHER
NOZZLES
If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly
check that there is fluid in the reservoir
(see “Checking levels” in this chapter).
Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
The windscreen jets are directed by
adjusting the angle.
The jets should be directed at about a
third of the height from the top edge of
the windscreen fig. 146.

IMPORTANT In versions with sunroof,
make sure that the sunroof is closed
before operating the front jets.
REAR WINDOW WASHER

The rear window washer jets are fixed.
The nozzle holder is located above the
rear window fig. 147.

BODYWORK
ADVICE FOR
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an
aesthetic purpose, but also protects the
underlying sheet metal. Normal care for
paintwork consists of washing the car;
how often depends on the conditions
and environment where the car is used.
For example, in highly polluted areas, or
if the roads are spread with salt, it is
advisable to wash the car more
frequently.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be
washed off immediately and thoroughly
as the acid they contain is particularly
aggressive.
Versions with matt paintwork
These versions have exclusive matt
paintwork which requires special care
for its preservation.
