CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recirculation on, fan speed at zero or
too low, etc.), the vehicle windows and
windscreen may mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Maintenance
Please see the Scheduled Service Plan.
IMPORTANT Air conditioning function
means greater fuel consumption (turn
off the system when you no longer
need it).
50) 51)
2)
Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use.
For cars with air conditioning without
automatic mode, turn off the system
when you no longer need it.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption to a minimum and helping
safeguard the environment:
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in high
temperatures or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before leaving.
Cars with additional heater
Some vehicles are equipped with an
additional heater that heats the
passenger compartment more quickly.
This device functions only with the
engine on and at low temperatures.
When functioning, a bit of smoke
issuing from the right side of the
vehicle, coming from the heat exhaust
system, is normal.
Irregular operation
Generally speaking, if you notice any
operational irregularity, please see a Fiat
Dealer.
Limited effectiveness of defrosting,
de-misting or air conditioning can be
due to a clogged cabin filter cartridge.
Cold air is not generated. Check the
position of the controls and condition of
the fuses. Otherwise, turn the system
off.
Water beneath the vehicle
After prolonged use of air conditioning,
it is normal to find water under it due to
condensation.

reached: the dedicated message appears on the
screen along with the warning light
.
The vehicle needs an oil change as soon as possible. PROVIDE SERVICE WITHIN
300 km/24 DAYS
PROVIDE SERVICE
Depending on how old the vehicle is, the oil change limit will adapt to driving style (frequently at low speeds, door-to-door, the least prolonged
driving, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance that remains until the next oil change can, in certain cases, thus be reduced more rapidly than the
distance actually covered.
Re-initialisation:to re-initialise the system, view the “Maintenance schedule” (distance and time), press button 9 or 10 fig. 168 for about
10 seconds without interruption until the oil change time appears fixed.

ENGINE RUN-IN
Until you have gone 1,500 km, do not
exceed 130 km/h on the highest ratio,
or 2,500 rpm. After that mileage, you
can push the engine harder, but the
vehicle will perform better only after
having travelled 6,000 kilometres.
During the running-in period, do not
accelerate abruptly while the engine is
cold, and avoid running it too fast.
Coupon frequency:refer to the
"Scheduled Service Plan".

STARTING AND DRIVING

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, for
versions/markets, where provided, at
fixed time intervals, as described in the
Service Schedule.
Regardless of the above, it is always
necessary to follow the instructions in
the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g.
periodically check level of liquids, tyre
pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to fixed time
or kilometres/miles intervals. 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 NOTES
Scheduled Servicing interventions are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to
comply with the schedule may
invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
scheduled service deadline.

DEMANDING VEHICLE
USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside

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 Service Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
boot locks, cleanliness and lubrication
of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and
rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;

SERVICING
PROCEDURES
The vehicle respects the recycling
criteria and scrapped vehicle
assessment that will become law in
2016.
Therefore, some of the vehicle’s
components are designed with their
ultimate recycling in mind.
These components can easily be
disassembled to be recovered and
reused in the recycling industry.
Moreover, thanks to its advanced
design, its original setup and its modest
fuel consumption, the vehicle complies
with the anti-pollution regulations in
force. We are actively committed to
reducing polluting gases and saving
energy. But the level of polluting gas
emissions and vehicle consumption
also depend on you. Take care to use
and service your vehicle correctly.
Keep in mind that lack of respect for
anti-pollution laws can expose the
vehicle's owner to administrative
sanctions. Moreover, replacing engine,
fuel system and exhaust parts with
other non-original ones voids the
vehicle's compliance with the
anti-pollution regulations.
165

Have adjustments and vehicle checks
done at a Fiat Dealership so they
comply with the instructions in the
Scheduled Service Plan: all the means
and material means that allow the
vehicle’s guarantee to be maintained
are available here.
ENGINE REGISTRATION
The air filter, oil filter: a dirty cartridge
reduces performance. You need to
replace it.
Minimum: no adjustment is needed.
CHECKING LEVELS
ENGINE OIL
An engine normally consumes oil to
lubricate it and cool the moving parts,
and it is normal to have to top up the
lubricating circuit between two oil
changes.
However, if the oil consumption is more
than 0.5 litres every 1000 km after the
run-in period, you need to contact a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Periodically check the oil
level and in any case before long trips,
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.

Oil level check
The oil level should be checked with the
vehicle on a flat surface and the engine
stopped and cold.
To know the oil level exactly and to
make sure it has not exceeded the
maximum level (risk of damaging the
engine), you need to use the dipstick.The instrument panel display only
warns you when the level is at
minimum.
take out the dipstick and clean it with
a clean rag;
insert it as far as it will go;
take it back out;
check the level: it must never be
lower than "min" A fig. 265 nor above
the "max" level B.
Once you have checked the level, insert
the dipstick as far as it will go.
IMPORTANT To avoid splashing, you
can use a funnel when topping up/filling
up.
Topping up/filling the oil
The vehicle has to be on a level surface,
engine stopped and cold (e.g.: before
starting in the morning).

SERVICING AND CARE

Unscrew cap 1 fig. 266;
restore the level (the approximate
amount to get between the dipstick 2
"min" and "max" levels is about 1.5 and
2 litres, depending on the engine);
wait about 10 seconds to let the oil
flow in the circuit;
check the level with the dipstick 2
fig. 266 (as described above).
Once the operation is done, insert the
dipstick as far as it will go or screw the
cap back on completely.
IMPORTANT To avoid splashing, use a
funnel when topping up/filling up.
IMPORTANT Never exceed the "max"
level and do not forget to put the cap
1 back on and dipstick 2 fig. 266 in
place.
