Versions with manual transmission
Proceed as follows:
engage the electric parking brake
and place the gear lever in neutral;
move the ignition device to MAR. On
Diesel versions, the
warning light on
the instrument panel turns on: wait for
the warning light to switch off;
fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure.
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Versions with automatic
transmission
Proceed as follows:
engage the electric parking brake
and set the gear lever to P (Park) or N
(Neutral);
fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator;
set the ignition device to AVV;
if the engine does not start, bring
the ignition device back to STOP and
wait for 10-15 seconds before
repeating the starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
ENGINE STARTING
FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic
key battery (Keyless Go) run down
or flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run
down or flat. Therefore, the system
does not detect the presence of the
electronic key on board the vehicle and
displays a dedicated message. In this
case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite themetal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button using the electronic
key. The ignition device is thus activated
and the engine can be started.
WARNING
103)Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
104)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
105)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
106)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
32)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km, you do
not drive to full car performance (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking, etc.).
33)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.

ENGINE OIL
168)
81)
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 lines on the dipstick A.
NOTE For 1.0 and 1.3 versions, the
dipstick A is integral with the cap B.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN
line, add oil through the filler B until it
reaches the MAX line.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, 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
82)
3)
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to be 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
169)
83)
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
170) 171)
If the level is too low, lift reservoir cap D
and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
IMPORTANT The headlight washer
system (present) will not operate when
the fluid level is low, even though the
windscreen/rear window washer
continues to operate.
BRAKE FLUID
172) 173)
84)
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 chapter "Technical
Specifications".
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".

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

170)Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Repeated operation of
the system without fluid could damage or
cause rapid deterioration of some system
components.
171)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
172)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
173)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
174)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
175)Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and may
cause an explosion.
176)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
80)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping up
with an unsuitable fluid could severely
damage your vehicle.
81)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX. mark.
82)Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in the
engine.
83)PARAFLU
UPprotective anti-freeze is
used in the engine cooling system. Use
fluid of the same type as that contained in
the cooling system for any top-ups.
PARAFLU
UPfluid cannot be mixed with
any other type of fluid. If this happens, do
not start the engine under any
circumstances and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
84)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
85)If the vehicle must remain unused for a
long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.
86)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (e.g. anti-theft, radio phone,
etc.), go to a Fiat Dealership, which will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.
IMPORTANT
3)The used engine oil and the filter that has
been replaced contain substances that are
harmful to the environment. To change the
oil and filters, we advise you to contact a
Fiat Dealership.
4)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to contact a
Fiat Dealership to have the fluid changed.
5)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

EXHAUST SYSTEM
178) 179)
93)
Adequate maintenance of the engine
exhaust system represents the best
protection against leaks of carbon
monoxide into the passenger
compartment.
AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
94)
Use only a gearbox fluid with the same
characteristics as those indicated in the
"Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical specifications" chapter).
WARNING
177)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine. DO
NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine,
ensure that the system has not been
removed: failure to observe this precaution
may result in serious injury.178)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous, and may be lethal. They
contain carbon monoxide, a colourless,
odourless gas which can cause fainting
and poisoning if inhaled.
179)The exhaust system may reach high
temperatures and may cause a fire if the
vehicle is parked on flammable material.
Dry grass or leaves can also catch fire if
they come into contact with the exhaust
system. Do not park or use the vehicle in a
place in which the exhaust system might
come into contact with flammable material.
IMPORTANT
87)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Fiat Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations and
minor maintenance interventions personally
on the car, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.
88)Incorrect maintenance of the car or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
car performance. Have any malfunction
inspected immediately by a Fiat Dealership.89)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
which are optimised or protecting its
performance and life and extending service
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may damage
the engine, the transmission or the climate
control system. This damage is not covered
by the vehicle’s warranty. If any component
needs to be washed due to malfunctioning,
use only the specific liquid for that
procedure.
90)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil inside the base is extremely damaging to
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
91)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.
92)The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid
injuries to people or damage to the system,
any coolant addition or repair that requires
to disconnect the cables must be carried
out by a Fiat Dealership.
