check engine light FIAT BRAVO 2012 2.G Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let
the engine run for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after switching it off before checking
the level.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is
approximately 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of usage for the vehicle,
the engine is bedding in, therefore the engine
oil consumption may settle down only after the first
5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on
driving style and the conditions under which the car
is used.
IMPORTANT Do not add oil with specifications
other than those of the oil already in the engine.
WARNING
When the engine is hot , take care when
working inside the engine compartment
to avoid burns. Remember that the fan may
start up if the engine is hot : this could injure
you. Make sure that scarves, ties and other
loose fitting garments do not get caught up in
moving parts.Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment .To change the oil and
filters, we advise you to contact a Fiat
Dealership.
ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the engine
is cold and must be above the MIN mark on the
reservoir, see fig. fig. 207-fig. 208
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
by
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through cap A.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UP
and 50%
demineralised water protects against freezing down
to temperatures of -35°C.
For particularly harsh climate conditions, we
recommended using a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40% demineralised water.

PARAFLU
UP
antifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. If this happens, do not start
the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Do not remove the reservoir cap when
the engine is very hot as there is a
risk of scalding.The cooling system is
pressurised. If the cap needs replacing, do so
with another original or the effectiveness
of the system may be compromised.
WASHER FLUID FOR WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW/HEADLIGHTS
To add fluid, lift cap A shown in the figure: fig. 209
and pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35 fluid in the following
proportions:
❒30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 70%
water in summer;
❒50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35 and 50%
water in winter.
At temperatures below -20°C, use undiluted
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35. Check fluid level
through the reservoir. For versions with headlight
washer, remove the filter and the corresponding
dipstick. The dipstick provides a visual indication of
the level of fluid in the reservoir.

WARNING
Do not travel with the windscreen
washer reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Some commercial windscreen washer additives
are flammable.The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it on
fire.
BRAKE FLUID
Undo the cap A shown in the figure: fig. 210check
that the fluid contained in the reservoir is at the
maximum level. The fluid level in the reservoir must
not exceed the MAX mark. If you need to top up,
you should use the brake fluid shown in the "Fluids
and lubricants" table (see chapter "Technical data").
When opening the cap A, make sure that no dirtgets into the reservoir. Always use a funnel with a
built-in filter with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less for
topping up.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car is
mainly used in areas with a high degree of
atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be replaced
at more frequent intervals than specified in the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE
LIFE OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last
longer, observe the following instructions:
❒when you park the car, ensure that the doors,
tailgate, bonnet and flaps are closed properly,
to prevent any roof lights from remaining on
inside the passenger compartment;
❒switch off all roof lights inside the car: the car is
however equipped with a system which switches
the internal lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. radio, hazard
warning lights, etc.) switched on for a long time
when the engine is not running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical
system, disconnect the negative battery pole;
❒completely tighten the battery terminals.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50%
for a long time, the battery is damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capacity and efficiency at
start-up.
The battery will also be more at risk of freezing
(this can happen as early as -10°C). Refer to the
paragraph "Car inactivity" in "Starting and driving" if
the car is left parked for a long time.
If after buying the car, you want to install electric
accessories which require permanent electrical
supply (alarm, etc.) or accessories influencing the
electrical supply requirements, contact a Fiat
Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices from
Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the overall electrical
consumption, checking whether the car’s electric
system is capable of withstanding the load required,
or whether it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to consume energy
even when the engine is off, they gradually run
down the battery.
