111CAR MAINTENANCE
Be very careful under
the bonnet: you risk
burning yourself. Re-
member that when the engine is
hot, the fan can start up and
cause injuries.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Max. engine oil consumption is usu-
ally 400 grams every 1000 km.
During the beginning of the car’s use,
the engine is being run in. Engine oil
consumption can be considered sta-
bilised only after the first five-six thou-
sand kilometres.
IMPORTANTOil consumption
depends on the driving style and the
conditions of use. IMPORTANT After topping up or
changing the oil, let the engine turn
for a few seconds and wait a few min-
utes after stopping it before you check
the level. Do not add oil with dif-
ferent specifications from
the oil already in the en-
gine.

P4Q01039
Used engine oil and re-
placed oil filters contain
substances which can
harm the environment. We rec-
ommend you have the car seen
to at a Fiat Dealership for the oil
and filter change. It is suitably
equipped for disposing of used oil
and filters in an environmentally-
friendly way that complies with
the law.
ENGINE COOLANT fig. 3
Do not take the cap A of
the reservoir off when the
engine is very hot as you
run the risk of scalding yourself.
The coolant system is
under pressure. If the cap
A requires changing, use
only an original spare part, oth-
erwise the system efficiency
could be affected.

BRAKES
SERVICE AND EMERGENCY
BRAKES
Front:
– disc, floating caliper type with op-
erating cylinder for each wheel.
Rear:
– drum type with self-centring shoes
and operating cylinder for each wheel.
Crossed hydraulic circuit control.
7” vacuum brake booster.
ABS system with four sensors
(where fitted).
Automatic take-up of friction liner
wear.
Brake effort proportioning valves (2)
intervening on hydraulic circuit of the
rear brakes. HANDBRAKE
Controlled by a lever, it works me-
chanically on the rear brakes.
SUSPENSION
Front:
Independent wheel type, lower wish-
bones anchored to telescopic sup-
ports consisting of a cast iron riser
rigidly connected to a hydraulic dou-
ble action shock absorber. Leaf spring
and coaxial pads with the shock ab-
sorbers. Permanently lubricated joints.
Anti-roll bar anchored to the body
acting on suspension arm.
Rear:
Independent wheel with coil springs.
Jointed steel arms with bush and dou-
ble action telescopic gas shock ab-
sorbers. Water, ice and salt
sprinkled on the road de-
posit on the brake disc
and reduce effectiveness when
you brake.
Pay attention when in-
stalling extra spoilers, al-
loy wheels and non stan-
dard wheel caps: they could re-
duce the ventilation of the
brakes, thus reducing their effi-
ciency when braking suddenly
and frequently, or on long down-
hill slopes.
