ENGINE OIL
148)59) 60)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.
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
149)61)
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
150) 151)
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
152) 153)62)
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 control oil level should
only be checked at a Fiat Dealership.BATTERY
154) 155) 156) 157)5)63)
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 has been
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel turns 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.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked at a
Fiat Dealership.

WHEELS AND TYRES
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
162)66) 67) 68) 69)
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time. This
operation is recommended for tyres
with a deep tread pattern, suitable both
for on-road and off-road driving.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the car.
In the case of irregular wear of the
tyres, the reason must be identified and
corrected before rotating them.
WARNING
162)Do not cross switch the tyres if they
are "unidirectional" type. In this case,
always take care not to fit the tyres with a
direction of rotation that is opposite to that
indicated: you would risk losing grip and
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
66)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
67)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
68)Do not switch tyres from the right­hand
side of the vehicle to the left­hand side,
and vice versa.
69)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
BODYWORK
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paintwork
70)6)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Versions with matt paint
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions the car may have
an exclusive opaque paint on the roof,
which requires special care to keep it
in good condition.
71)
Washing the car
To correctly wash the car, follow these
instructions:
if the vehicle is washed remove the
aerial from the roof;
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, keep a
distance of at least 40 cm from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. Build up of water could
cause damage to the car in the long
term;
wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;

RIMS AND TYRES
PROVIDED
Pressed steel or alloy rims. Tubeless
radial carcass tyres. All approved tyres
are listed in the registration document.
IMPORTANT If there are any
discrepancies between the Owner
Handbook and the registration
certificate, take the information from the
latter. For safe driving, the car must be
fitted with tyres of the same make
and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANT Do not use air chambers
with tubeless tyres.
SNOW CHAINS
Important notes
72)
NOTE Reduced-width snow chains
with a maximum projection of 9 mm
beyond the tyre profile can be fitted on
195/65 R15 91H and 205/55 R16
91H tyres. 225/45 R17 91V tyres
cannot be fitted with snow chains.The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and
Snow) are considered as winter
equipment; therefore their use is
equivalent to that of the snow chains.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres
of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
Using snow chains with tyres with
non-original dimensions may damage
the vehicle.
Using different size or type (M+S, snow,
etc.) tyres between front and rear axle
may adversely affect car handling,
with the risk of losing control of the car
and resulting accidents.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided). If a front tyre
is punctured, replace a rear wheel
with the space-saver wheel and move
the rear wheel to the front axle. In
this way, with two normal drive wheels
at the front, snow chains can be fitted.

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
When the tyres are warm, add +0.3 bar to the pressure value prescribed. However, recheck that the value is correct with the
tyre cold. With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.

WARNING
163)The maximum speed for snow tyres marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The highway
code speed limits must however always be complied with.
164)DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
WARNING
72)Keep the vehicle's speed down when snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
pavements and do not drive long distances over roads without snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle and the road surface.
