153VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Should prevailing use of the vehicle
be under one of the following special-
ly heavy conditions:
– towing a trailer
– on dirty roads
– for short, repeated trips (less than
7-8 km) with outside temperature be-
low zero
– frequently idling engines or long
distance low speed driving (e.g. taxis
or door-to-door deliveries) or in case
of a long term inactivity; replace en-
gine oil more frequently than required
on Service schedule
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
If the vehicle is used on dusty roads
change the air cleaner more frequently
than the indications in the Service
schedule. If in doubt as to how often
the engine oil and air cleaner should
be changed according to how you use
the vehicle, contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the vehicle is used frequently in
dusty or heavily polluted environ-
ments it is advisable to replace the fil-
tering element more frequently; in
particular it should be replaced if a re-
duction of the amount of air admitted
to the passenger compartment is not-
ed.
IMPORTANT - Battery
The charge in your battery should be
checked, where possible at the start
of the winter, to limit the risk of the
battery electrolyte freezing. This check
should be carried out more frequent-
ly if the vehicle is mainly used for short
trips or if it is fitted with accessories
that permanently take in electricity
even when the ignition key is re-
moved, especially in the case of after
market accessories.You should check the battery fluid
(electrolyte) level more frequently
than shown in the service schedule in
this chapter if the vehicle is used in hot
climates or particularly demanding
conditions.
Maintenance of your ve-
hicle should be entrusted
to a Fiat Dealership. For
ordinary routine maintenance
operations which you are able to
carry out yourself, ensure that
you have the necessary tools and
original Fiat spare parts and flu-
ids available. Do not carry out
servicing operations if you have
no experience.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 11
The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with
another genuine one, otherwise
system efficiency could be com-
promised. Do not remove the
reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
The coolant level shall be checked
with cold engine and shall be within
the MINand MAXmarks on the
tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mix-
ture of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU UPof the FL Selenia
Group through the filler neck until the
level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP
and distilled water gives freeze pro-
tection to –35°C.
For particularly hard climate condi-
tions, we recommend use of a 60%
PARAFLU UP and 40% deminer-
alized water mixture.

To top up, remove the capA-fig. 12
and lift the telescopic filler B, until it
clicks.
Pour a mixture of water and
TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC
35, in the following concentrations:
30% of TUTELA PROFESSION-
AL SC 35and 70% of water in sum-
mer; 50% of TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35and 50 of water in
winter. If the temperature falls below
–20°C, use TUTELA PROFES-
SIONAL SC 35undiluted.
fig. 12
F0A01263b
The engine cooling sys-
tem uses protective an-
tifreeze fluid PARAFLU
UP. Use the same fluid type as
that already in the cooling system
when topping up. PARAFLU UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. Should it hap-
pen, under no circumstances
start the engine; contact a Fiat
Dealership.

204TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption and CO2emis-
sion values listed in the table below are
determined based on homologation
tests laid down in the European Di-
rective 2004/3/EC.
To measure fuel consumption and
emissions the procedures below are
followed:
– Urban cycle:the vehicle is start-
ed with the engine cold and driven so
as to reproduce the speed and
gearshift profile specified in the Euro-
pean Directive. The cycle includes a
series of accelerations, decelerations,
driving at constant speed and standing
with the engine in idle. The maximum
speed reached during the cycle is
50km/h and the average speed is
19km/h.– Extraurban cycle:consecutive to
the urban cycle according to the spec-
ifications laid down in the European
Directive. The maximum speed
reached during the cycle is 120km/h
and the average speed is 63km/h.
– consumption:this is determined
through a weighted average of the
consumption measured for the urban
cycle (with approx. 37% weight) and
for the extraurban cycle (with approx.
63% weight).
IMPORTANT
In practice, fuel consumption may be
higher than the values determined
through the homologation tests. Be-
low are some of the main factors that
may result in a deviation between the
consumption measured during normal
use of the vehicle and that measured
during the homologation tests.1) Vehicle conditions: inadequate
maintenance, use of roof racks, trail-
ers, heavy load conditions, intense use
of the electrical devices and the air-
conditioning.
2) Driving style: frequent cold starts
to drive short stretches, incorrect
procedure to warm up the engine,
gearshifting, continuous driving at high
speeds, sudden acceleration and brak-
ing.
3) Traffic and road conditions: driving
in traffic, uphill or twisty roads, road
surface conditions.
4) Atmospheric conditions: intem-
perate climate, wind, rain, snow, dri-
ving at high altitudes.
5) Percentage town, out-of-town and
motorway driving.

PRACTICAL TIPS TO
REDUCE CONSUMPTION
AND ENVIRONMENTAL
POLLUTION
Vehicle conditions
1. Have checks and adjustments
carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Service Plan”.
2. Check the tyre pressure at inter-
vals of not more than 4 weeks (see
“Tyre pressure”). Too low tyre pres-
sure increases consumption as the
rolling resistance increases. In these
conditions the tyres wear faster and
performance deteriorates.
3. Use winter tyresonly in the sea-
sons where dictated by the climatic
conditions. Winter tyres not only in-
crease consumption but also tyre
noise.4. Do not travel in heavy load con-
ditions(vehicle overloaded): The
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its trim greatly af-
fect fuel consumption and stability.
5. Remove roof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the aerodynamics of the vehicle and
have a negative effect on fuel con-
sumption.
6. Ideally use a trailerto transport
particularly bulky objects.
7. It is preferable to use the air vents:
driving with the window open has a
negative effect on the aerodynamics of
the vehicle.
8. Use the electrical devices only for
the time strictly necessary. The rear
heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan
need a considerable amount of ener-
gy, consequently increasing fuel con-
sumption (up to 25% more in the ur-
ban cycle).9. Using the air-conditioning in-
creases consumption (up to 30% more
on average): use the air vents when
the outside temperature permits.
Driving style
1. After starting the engineit is
advisable to set off immediately and
slowly avoiding revving up the engine.
Do not warm up the engine with the
vehicle stationary either at idle or at
high speed: in these conditions the en-
gine in fact warms up more slowly, in-
creasing consumption, emissions and
wear of the mechanical devices.
2. Avoid revving upwhen starting
at traffic lights or before turning off the
engine. This action, like double-de-
clutching, is unnecessary and causes in-
creased fuel consumption and pollu-
tion.
