REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
111)
25) 26)
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
IMPORTANT Never introduce leaded
petrol to the tank, even in small
amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
Operation at low temperatures
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas).If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable
to mix PETRONAS DURANCE DIESEL
ART additive in the proportions shown
on the container with the fuel. Pour
the additive into the tank before the
fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAPOpening
1) Open the flap A fig. 117 by pulling it
outwards, keep the cap B fig. 117
still, insert the ignition key in the lock
and turn it anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it.
The cap has a device C fig. 117 that
attaches it to the flap so it cannot
be lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal.
TOPPING UP ADBLUE

DIESEL EMISSIONS
ADDITIVE (UREA)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures
lower than -11°C. If the vehicle stands
for a long time at this temperature refill-
ing could be difficult. For this reason, it
is advised to park the vehicle in a
garage and/or heated environment and
wait for the UREA to return to liquid
state before topping up.

STARTING AND DRIVING
WARNING
121)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Carefully read
the label on the cartridge before use, avoid
improper use. The kit should be used by
adults and cannot be used by children.
122)IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
The kit provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tyre must be examined and
repaired by a specialist as soon as
possible. Before using the kit, ensure that
the tyre is not excessively damaged and
that the rim is in good condition, otherwise
do not use it and call roadside assistance.
Do not remove foreign bodies from the
tyre. Do not let the compressor turned on
for more than 20 consecutive minutes -
overheating hazard.
WARNING
30)The sealant fluid is effective with
external temperatures between -40°C and
+55°C. The sealant has an expiry date. It
is possible to repair tyres which have been
damaged on tread up to a diameter of 6
mm. Show the cartridge and the label
to the personnel who will handle the tyre
treated with the tyre repair kit
CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
123) 124) 125) 126) 127)
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
always check the headlight beam
direction after changing a bulb;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph
"Replacing fuses" in this chapter.
IMPORTANT A slight misting may
appear on the internal surface of the
headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature
and the degree of humidity in the air.
Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights
indicates infiltration of water. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
123)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
124)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
125)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metal part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb dry.
126)Where possible, it is advisable to
have bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership.
The correct operation and direction of
the external lights are absolutely essential
for the safety of the car and of compliance
with the law.
127)Replace the bulbs with the engine
stopped and in a position in which it is not
danger for oncoming traffic and where
you perform the replacement safely (see
the “When parked” paragraph). Also ensure
that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk
of burns.
124
IN AN EMERGENCY
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.
151
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.
140)
37)
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.
141)
38)
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.

SERVICING AND CARE
tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked
by specialised technicians if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare wheel
very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
to allow even wear between the
front and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10–15
thousand kilometres, keeping them on
the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of rotation.
153) 154) 155) 156)
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. The snow chains may be
applied only onto the front wheel (drive
wheels). Check the tension of the
snow chains after the first few metres
have been driven.
157)
WARNING
153)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
154)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre
may overheat and be severely damaged as
a result.
155)Do not switch tyres from the
righthand side of the vehicle to the
lefthand side, and vice versa.
156)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
157)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.

TECHNICAL DATA
IMPORTANT Note that when using a fuel like methane, the range is extremely variable because in addition to the vehicle
maintenance and driving conditions it also depends on the temperature of the gas in the cylinder.
The methane actually heats up during the refuelling and cools down whilst driving, undergoing variations in pressure that
reduce the quantity that can be used.
It should also be pointed out that whilst the vehicle is being run in (up to around 3000 km) the fuel consumption may be higher
than the figures given.
