REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
journeys, check and, if necessary, top
up:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
Check and top up additive level for
AdBlue® Diesel emissions (UREA) (for
versions/markets, where provided);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of windscreen washer/
wiper system and positioning/wear of
rear window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always
efficient and well maintained, it is
advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly
(approximately every 1000 km and
every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).
DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of
the following conditions:
towing a trailer or caravan;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero 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 the conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes
and hoses (exhaust/fuel supply/brakes),
rubber parts (boots/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;
Restore additive level forAdBlue®
Diesel emissions (UREA) (for versions/
markets, where applicable), when the
warning light comes on or the message
on the instrument panel appears;
check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil level check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Take out the dipstick 1, clean it and
then reinsert it fully; take it out and
check that the level is between the MIN
and MAX marks on the dipstick. The
interval between MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is close to or below the
MIN mark, add oil via the filler 2 until it
reaches the MAX mark.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX. mark.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level after
the check is over the MAX level, go
to a Fiat Dealership to have the correct
level restored.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 oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine
needs to be run in, therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be considered
stabilised after the first 5,000–6,000
km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption
depends on driving style and the
conditions under which the vehicle is
used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same specifications as
that already in the engine.

ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level should be checked
when the engine is cold and should be
between the MIN and MAX lines on
the vessel.
If the level is low, pour a 50% mixture of
demineralised water and PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS PARAFLU
UPinto the
vessel through cap 3.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.

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHING FLUID
To add fluid, lift the cap 4 and pour in a
mixture of water and PETRONAS
DURANCE SC 35 fluid, in the following
proportions:
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.
