Under normal operating conditions, the cata-
lytic converter will not require maintenance.
However, it is important to keep the engine
properly tuned to assure proper catalyst opera-
tion and prevent possible catalyst damage.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems can result in civil penalties being
assessed against you.
In unusual situations involving grossly mal-
functioning engine operation, a scorching
odor may suggest severe and abnormal cata-
lyst overheating. If this occurs, stop the ve-
hicle, turn off the engine and allow it to cool.
Service, including a tune-up to manufactur-
er's specifications, should be obtained imme-
diately.
To minimize the possibility of catalytic con-
verter damage:
• Do not interrupt the ignition when the
transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in
motion.
• Do not try to start the vehicle by pushing or
towing the vehicle.• Do not idle the engine with any ignition
components disconnected or removed,
such as when diagnostic testing, or for
prolonged periods during very rough idle or
malfunctioning operating conditions.Cooling System
WARNING!
• You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear
steam coming from under the hood, do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had time to cool. Never open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
• Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
• When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
Coolant Checks
Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protection
every 12 months (before the onset of freezing
weather, where applicable). If the engine
coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty in appear-
ance, the system should be drained, flushed
and refilled with fresh engine coolant (anti-
freeze). Check the front of the A/C condenser
for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If
dirty, clean by gently spraying water from a
garden hose vertically down the face of the
condenser.
Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent
loss of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to
ensure that engine coolant (antifreeze) will
return to the radiator from the coolant expan-
sion bottle/recovery tank if so equipped.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if
there is any accumulation of foreign material
on the sealing surfaces.

WARNING!
• Do not open hot engine cooling system.
Never add engine coolant (antifreeze)
when the engine is overheated. Do not
loosen or remove the cap to cool an
overheated engine. Heat causes pres-
sure to build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not remove
the pressure cap while the system is hot
or under pressure.
• Do not use a pressure cap other than the
one specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be in-
spected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte-
nance Plan” in this section for the proper
maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal
can result in abnormally high brake tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and pos-
sible brake damage. You would not have
your full braking capacity in an emergency.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid in the master cylinder should be
checked when performing under hood ser-
vices or immediately if the “Brake Warning
Light” is illuminated.
Be sure to clean the top of the master cylin-
der area before removing the cap. If neces-
sary, add fluid to bring the fluid level up to
the requirements described on the brake
fluid reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid level
can be expected to fall as the brake pads
wear. Brake fluid level should be checked
when pads are replaced. However, low fluid
level may be caused by a leak and a checkup
may be needed.
Use only manufacturer's recommended brake
fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in
“Technical Specifications” for further information.
WARNING!
• Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubri-
cants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your brake system and/or impair its per-
formance. The proper type of brake fluid
for your vehicle is also identified on the
original factory installed hydraulic mas-
ter cylinder reservoir.
• To avoid contamination from foreign
matter or moisture, use only new brake
fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly
closed container. Keep the master cylin-
der reservoir cap secured at all times.
Brake fluid in a open container absorbs
moisture from the air resulting in a lower
boiling point. This may cause it to boil
unexpectedly during hard or prolonged
braking, resulting in sudden brake fail-
ure. This could result in a collision.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
that has been thoroughly developed and
tested in order to meet the requirements of
the Scheduled Servicing Plan.Constant use of the prescribed lubricants
guarantees the fuel consumption and emis-
sion specifications. Lubricant quality is cru-
cial for engine operation and duration.If lubricants conforming to the specific re-
quest are not available, products that meet
the indicated specifications can be used to
top up, in this case optimal performance of
the engine is not guaranteed.
Component Fluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Engine Coolant We recommend you use PARAFLUUPFormula OAT (Organic Additive Technology) or equivalent meeting
the requirements of FCA Material Standard MS.90032.
Engine Oil – 1.4L Gasoline Engine We recommend you use SELENIA DIGITEK P.E. or equivalent, API Certified SAE 0W-30 ACEA C2
Synthetic Engine Oil, meeting the requirements of FCA Material Standard 9.55535-GS1.
Engine Oil – 1.6L / 2.0L Diesel Engine
Without AdBlue (UREA)For best performance and maximum protection under all types of operating conditions, the
manufacturer recommends SELENIA WR FORWARD engine oils, or equivalent, API Certified
SAE 0W-30 that meet the requirements of FCA Material Standard 9.55535-DS1 or MS.90047 and
ACEA C2.
NOTE:
• If lubricants compliant with the required specifications are not available, products that comply with
the minimum required characteristics can be used for topping off; in this case optimal performance
of the engine is not guaranteed.
• The use of products with specifications other than those indicated above could cause damage to the
engine not covered by the warranty.
