Regularly check the coolant liquid level
(the engine could suffer serious damage
if the coolant liquid is out).
If you need to top up, only use products
approved by the Fiat Dealership, which
ensures:
antifreeze protection;
anti-corrosion protection in the
cooling circuit.
Replacement
Refer to the Scheduled Service Plan (in
this chapter).

Filling
With the engine off, open cap 3
fig. 277. Fill it until you see the liquid,
then replace the cap.
Fluid
Window washing liquid (antifreeze
product in winter).
WARNING
199)When you top up the oil, be careful
not to let oil drops fall on the engine parts,
risking a fire. Do not forget to close the cap
correctly, otherwise you could cause a fire
due to the oil splashes on parts of the hot
engine.200)If replacing oil to a hot engine, be
careful of burn risk caused by oil backflow.
201)Always turn off the ignition device
before working in the engine compartment
(refer to the “The keys” paragraph in the
“Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
202)When you intervene near the engine,
this last could be hot. Moreover, the
cooling fan could start up at any time. The
warning light serves to remind you of
this condition. Risk of injury.
203)Do not turn the engine over in a
closed space: the exhaust gases are toxic.
204)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper arm is in the stopped
position. Risk of injury.
205)No intervention on the cooling system
should be effected when the engine is hot.
Danger of burns.
206)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
207)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
208)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler cap, particularly for
vehicles with an aluminium cap (for
versions/markets where provided).
WARNING: risk of burns!
