KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light turns on
when the engine is overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine
and check that the water level in the reservoir is not below the
MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then
slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and
check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If,
when restarting, the warning light switches on again, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in
high-performance driving): slow down and, if the warning light
stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated to further favour the
coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check that the
coolant level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep
the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes before
switching it off.
redLOW BATTERY CHARGE
The warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off as
soon as the engine has started (with the engine
idling a brief delay before switching off is
acceptable).If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
STARTING THE
ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic
engine lock device: if the engine fails to
start, see the paragraph “The Fiat
CODE system” in section “Know your
vehicle”.

PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal,
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts.
PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning lights
eon the
instrument panel will turn on;
wait for the warning lightsand
to turn off, which will happen faster
the warmer the engine is;
fully depress the clutch pedal,
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to the AVV
position as soon as the warning light
turns off. Waiting too long will waste
the heating work carried out by the
plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
20)
PROCEDURE FOR
NATURAL POWER
VERSIONS
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously
selected mode.
PROCEDURE FOR
VERSIONS WITH
DUALOGIC™
TRANSMISSION
The system allows the engine to be
started both with a gear engaged and
with the transmission in neutral (N).
Always press the brake pedal with the
gear engaged.
It is advisable to place the gear lever in
neutral (N) before starting the engine.IMPORTANT With cold engine, the
accelerator must be entirely released
when turning the ignition key to position
AVV. If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOP before repeating the starting
procedure. With the key in the MAR
position, if the warning light
on the
instrument panel remains on, it is
advisable to turn the key to the STOP
position and to MAR again; if the
warning light continues to remain on,
try again with the other keys provided. If
you still cannot start the engine,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
21)
WARMING UP THE
ENGINE JUST AFTER IT
HAS STARTED
Proceed as follows:
drive off slowly, letting the engine
turn at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
do not demand full performance at
first. Wait until the engine coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.
104
STARTING AND DRIVING
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
journeys, 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 screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear screen wiper blades
(for versions/markets where provided);
Every 3,000 km check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
towing a trailer or motorhome;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect condition of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel system - brakes)
and rubber elements (boots - sleeves
- bushes - etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
auxiliary drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
replacement of air cleaner cartridge
every 15,000 km.

SERVICING AND CARE
ENGINE OIL
Check the oil level a few minutes after
stopping the engine (about 5 minutes)
with the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN. and
MAX. marks on the dipstick B fig. 190 -
fig. 191 - fig. 192 - fig. 193 - fig. 194 -
fig. 195 - fig. 196 - fig. 197 - fig. 198.
The range between the MIN. and MAX.
marks corresponds to about 1 litre of
oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
line, add oil through the filler A fig. 190 -
fig. 191 - fig. 192 - fig. 193 - fig. 194 -
fig. 195 - fig. 196 - fig. 197 - fig. 198,
until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
The engine needs to run in when the
vehicle is new, and therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.
IMPORTANT Oil consumption depends
on driving style and conditions of use
of the vehicle.IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before checking oil level.

ENGINE COOLANT
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
low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
distilled water and 50% PARAFLU
UPby
PETRONAS LUBRICANTSthrough
the filler neck C fig. 190 - fig. 191 - fig.
192 - fig. 193 - fig. 194 - fig. 195 -
fig. 196 - fig. 197 - fig. 198, until the
level approaches MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UPand
50% distilled water protects against
freezing down to temperatures of
–35°C. For particularly harsh climate
conditions, we recommended using a
mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UPand 40%
distilled water.

- fig. 196 - fig. 197 - fig. 198, using the
special tab, to add fluid.
Use a mixture of water and PETRONAS
DURANCE SC35 fluid, in the following
concentrations:
30% PETRONAS DURANCE SC 35
and 70% water in summer.
50% PETRONAS DURANCE SC 35
and 50% water in winter.
At temperatures below -20°C, use
undiluted PETRONAS DURANCE SC
35 fluid.
Check fluid level through the reservoir.
Close cap D by pressing on the central
section.
