2018 FIAT 500L LIVING brake light

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions. For this
reason, Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each coupon however you
always need to pay attention to what is
written in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check liquid
levels, tire pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to a set time
schedule. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with
the owner's explicit agreement only.
If your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between one scheduled
servicing operation and the next should
be reduced.IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing
coupons are prescribed by the
Manufacturer. Failure to carry them out
can cause the guarantee to decline. It is
advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership of
any small operating irregularities without
waiting for the next scheduled service
deadline.PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 kmor before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of windscreen washer/
wiper system and positioning/wear of
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.For 0.9
TwinAir Turbo versionsevery3,000
km check the engine oil level and
top it up to the maximum level, if
necessary.

ENGINE OIL
152)70) 71)3)
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick A. If the oil level is near or even
under the MIN mark, add oil using the
filler B to reach the MAX mark.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract the engine oil dipstick again and
check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
0.9 TwinAirTurbo versions only
Unscrew the cap, clean the dipstick
with a lint-free cloth, reinsert the
dipstick and screw the cap back on.
Unscrew the cap again and check that
the engine oil level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
NOTE On 0.9 TwinAirTurbo versions, if
the instrument panel display shows
the message warning that the engine oil
needs to be topped up to the MAX
level, after topping up to the MAX level
the instrument panel Setup Menu
must be used to confirm that this has
been done (see “Display” section of
“Knowing your instrument panel”
chapter).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.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
153)72)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir C and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
154) 155)
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
"Technical Specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system will not operate when the fluid
level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate. On some
versions there is a reference notch on
the dipstick: ONLY the windscreen/rear
window washer operates with the
level below this reference.BRAKE FLUID
156) 157)73)
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
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
TRANSMISSION FLUID
4)
The transmission fluid level should only
be checked at a Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
158) 159) 160) 161)5)74)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up 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.
