2020 FIAT TALENTO oil type

Manufacture
The vehicle's manufacture has been
carried out at an industrial factory that
applies advanced procedures aimed at
environmental impact reduction with
respect to the inhabitants and nature in
the surrounding areas (reduction of
water and power consumption,
atmospheric and water emissions,
disposal and evaluation of waste).
Emissions
While it is being used, the vehicle was
designed to emit a lower quantity of
greenhouse gasses (CO
2) and
therefore lower consumption (ex.:
170 g/km amounts to 6.4 l/100 km for
a Diesel vehicle).
Moreover, the cars are equipped with
anti-pollution systems such as the
catalytic exhaust, oxygen sensor, etc.
For some vehicles, this system is
rounded out with an anti-particulate
filter that allows a reduction in particle
emissions.
Respecting the environment
Used and replaced parts on sale during
regular servicing (battery, oil filter, air
filter, batteries, etc.) and oil tanks (both
empty and full of used oil) must be
delivered to specialised waste disposal
consortiums.To hand the vehicle over at the end of
its life without extra cost, contact one of
our dealerships if you are purchasing
another vehicle or an FCA-authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These
centres have been carefully chosen to
offer high quality service for the
collection, treatment and recycling of
vehicles at their end of life, respecting
the surrounding environment.
Recyclability
The vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95%
recoverable.
To achieve these aims, several of the
vehicle's parts have been designed so
they can be recycled. The structure and
materials have been especially studied
to facilitate dismantling of these
components and their re-treatment in
specific chains.
In order to preserve raw material
resources, the vehicle incorporates
several parts in recycled plastic or
renewable materials (plant or animal like
cotton or wool).
DIESEL VERSION
PARTICULARITIES
88)
18)
Engine speed
Diesel engines are equipped with an
injection system that does not let the
engine exceed a certain number of
revs, no matter what gear is engaged.
If you see the message "Anti-pollution
control" with the warning light
and
the alarm light, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
While driving, depending on the fuel
type used, in exceptional cases the
vehicle might emit white smoke.
This is due to the automatic
regeneration of the anti-particulate filter
and has no consequences on the
vehicle's performance.
Complete lack of fuel
When refuelling after completely using
up all fuel, you need to restore the fuel
circuit: refer to the "Refuelling the
vehicle" paragraph before restarting the
engine.
Engine smoke level label
The information (1) will be shown on the
label A fig. 161 in the engine
compartment.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

209)The cooling system is pressurised. If
the cap needs replacing, do so with
another original or the effectiveness of the
system may be compromised. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
210)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.
211)Some commercial additives for
windscreen washer fluid are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may start a fire.
212)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.
213)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will irreparably damage the
braking system’s special rubber seals.
IMPORTANT
44)In any case, you should not exceed the
maximum filling level: you risk damaging the
engine and catalytic converter. If the
maximum level has been exceeded, do not
start the vehicle; contact the Fiat
Dealership.45)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 the vehicle.
46)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX. mark.
47)Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in the
engine.
48)PARAFLU UP protective 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 UP liquid 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.
49)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
IMPORTANT
5)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.
FILTERS
Replacement of filtering components
(air filter, passenger compartment filter,
oil filter, etc.) is provided in the vehicle's
Scheduled Service Plan.

SERVICING AND CARE

BODYWORK
225) 226)
7)
If it undergoes correct service, the
vehicle can last longer. Therefore, we
advise you to regularly see to servicing
the exterior of your vehicle.
The vehicle takes advantage of the
most advanced anti-corrosion
technology. However, it is subject to
various factors.
Atmospheric corrosive agents.
Pollution (in cities and industry);
atmospheric salinity (coastal areas,
especially in warm weather);
seasonal weather conditions and
hygrometrics (salt spread on roads in
winter, street washing water, etc.).
Abrasive actions
Atmospheric dust, sand, mud, gravel
spattered from other cars, etc.
You need to take precautions against
these risk factors.
What not to do
Wash the vehicle in the sun or at low
temperatures.
Scrape off the mud or dirt without first
softening it with water.
Allow dirt to build up on the exterior.
Allow rust to form on damaged parts of
the body.Dissolve spots with solvents not
approved of by Fiat service; they could
damage the paint.
Drive in snow or mud without washing
the vehicle afterwards, especially the
wheel arches and underbody.
Remove traces of oil or clean using
high-pressure washing devices or using
products not approved by Fiat:
– mechanical elements (e.g. engine
bay);
– underbody;
– parts with hinges (e.g. inside doors);
– painted external part made of plastic
(e.g. bumpers).
This could cause rust or poor
operation.
What to do
Wash your vehicle frequently, with the
engine stopped, with shampoos
approved by our Fiat Dealer technicians
(never with abrasives) and rinse
thoroughly with sprayed water:
resin from trees or industrial
substances;
mud, which forms a wet mass under
the wheel arches and underbody;
bird guano, which causes a chemical
reaction with the paint, causing rapid
discolouring and can even cause the
paint to detach;
you must remove these spots, as
over time, not even polishing will
remove them;
salt, especially in the wheel arches
and underbody, after driving on roads
where anti-ice substances have been
spread.
Regularly remove resin, leaves etc., that
have fallen on the vehicle.
Respect the local laws concerning
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your
vehicle in the road).
To prevent damage to the bodywork,
keep an adequate distance from other
cars in front when you drive on gravel.
If the paint is damaged, retouch it
quickly to prevent corrosion from
forming.
If the vehicle has an anti-corrosion
warranty, do not forget to have it
checked periodically. Please see the
Scheduled Service Plan.
If you have to clean the mechanical
parts (e.g. hinges), you need to have
the protection renewed by using
products approved by the Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT We have selected
products specific to maintenance
available at Fiat sales points.
Versions with matt paint
This type of car requires a few
precautions.
What not to do
use wax-based products (gloss);
polish vigorously;
use automatic car washers;
