Red warning lights
Warning light What it means
redINSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / PARKING BRAKE ON
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit. Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has
switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the parking brake is engaged.
redPOWER STEERING FAILURE
This warning light (or symbol in the display) switches on when the ignition device is brought to MAR, but it
should switch off after a few seconds. If the warning light (or symbol on the display) remains on, you could
not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be increased;
steering is, however, possible. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
redAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE / DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light or symbol switches on to indicate that there is a failure in the automatic transmission or in
the dual clutch automatic transmission. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.20)
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
The warning light or symbol switches on in the case of insufficient engine oil pressure.
21)
IMPORTANT Do not use the car until the failure has been solved. The switching on of the symbol does not
show the quantity of oil in the engine: the oil level must be checked manually.
IMPORTANT
57
20)Driving the vehicle with the warning light or symbol on may severely damage the transmission, with resulting breakage. The oil may also
overheat: contact with hot engine or with exhaust components at high temperature could cause fires.
21)If the warning light or the symbol turns on while driving, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.

(4) Check to be carried out every year for cars on the road in countries with particularly severe climates (cold countries).
(5) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the car usage conditions and is signalled by the warning light or message (if
present) in the instrument panel. In any case, it must never exceed 2 years. Where the car is used mostly in urban settings you need to replace the engine oil
filter every year. (3) The maximum mileage is 120,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 6 years, regardless of distance travelled. If the vehicle is used in heavy conditions (dusty
areas, cold climates, urban driving, long periods of idling), the maximum mileage is 60,000 km. The belt must be replaced every 4 years regardless of the
mileage.
(6) If the car runs on fuel with quality below the relevant European specification, this filter should be replaced every 20,000 km
(7) If the vehicle is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 20,000 km.

PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or 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 screen washing/wiping
system and positioning/wear of wiper
blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the vehicle is used mainly under one
of the following conditions:
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 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;
check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.

ENGINE OIL
165)
72)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick.
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.
Take out the engine oil dipstick, clean it
with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick.Engine oil consumption
73)
3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil
consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
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 you check the level.
ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
166)
74)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap
of reservoir 4 and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
WINDSCREEN / REAR
WINDOW WASHING FLUID
167) 168)
If the level is too low, raise the reservoir
cap 3 and add the fluid described in the
"Technical Specifications" chapter.
BRAKE FLUID
169) 170)
75)
Check that the fluid is at the max. level.
If the fluid level in the reservoir is too
low, undo the reservoir cap 1 and add
the fluid described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.
IMPORTANT Carefully clean the cap of
the reservoir and the surrounding
surface. Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal to
or lower than 0.12 mm.
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".
