FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
The needle shows the fuel present in
the tank. When the fuel reserve warn-
ing light A-fig. 35 - 36 comes on (on
certain versions with the dedicated
message on the reconfigurable multi-
function display) it means that there
are approximately 5-7 litres of fuel left
in the tank.
E- tank empty.
F - tank full.
Never travel with the tank almost
empty: lack of fuel could damage the
catalyser.IMPORTANTThe needle will
point to Eand the reserve warning
light Awill flash to indicate a fault in
the system. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
shipto have the system checked.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This gauge shows the temperature of
the engine coolant fluid and begins
working when the fluid temperature
exceeds approx. 50 °C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should move to different positions of
the scale according to the working
conditions and engine cooling condi-
tions.

C- Low engine coolant temperature
H- High engine coolant temperature
Warning light B-fig. 35 - 37 comes
on (on certain versions with the ded-
icated message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display) to indicate that
engine coolant temperature is too
high; in this event stop the engine and
contact Fiat Dealership.

Otherwise wait for few seconds to al-
low the engine cooling, then open
slowly and carefully the cap, top up
coolant and check whether its level is
falling between MINand MAXmarks
in the reservoir. Check visually any
leak. If, when restarting, the warning
light comes on again, contact Fiat
Dealership.
–vehicle heavy duty(e.g.: towing
trailer uphill of fully laden vehicle): de-
crease speed, if the warning light stays
on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes leaving the engine on and
slightly accelerated to further activate
the circulation of the coolant fluid,
then switch the engine off. Check
proper coolant level as described pre-
viously.

If when turning the igni-
tion key to MAR, the
warning light
¬does not
turn on or stays on when travel-
ling there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air
bags or pretensioners could not
trigger in case of impact or, in a
minor number of cases, they
could trigger accidentally. Con-
tact Fiat Dealership immediate-

ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For vehicles with an annual
mileage of below 20.000 km (for
example about 10.000 km) the
following yearly inspection pro-
gramme is advised:
– check tyre conditions/wear and ad-
just pressure if required (including the
spare wheel).
– check light system operation (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard
lights, boot lights, passenger compart-
ment lights, glovebox light, warning
lights, etc.).
– check windscreen wiper/washer
operation, adjust nozzles.
– check windscreen/rear window
blade position/wear
– check front disk brake pad condi-
tions and wear.– check cleanness of bonnet and
boot locks and lever cleanness and lu-
brication
– sight inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc)
brake and fuel hoses.
– check battery charge.
– visual check on various drive belt
conditions.
– check and top up, if required, fluid
levels (engine coolant, brake fluid,
windscreen washer fluid, battery fluid,
etc.).
– change engine oil.
– change engine oil filter.
– replace pollen filter (where pro-
vided).
ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1,000 kmor before long
trips, check and top up as necessary:
engine coolant level, brake fluid level,
windscreen washer liquid level, tyre
pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check and top up
as necessary: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL
Selenia,products designed and pro-
duced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see
“Capacities” in section “Technical
specifications”).

CHECKING
THE LEVELS
Do not smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: the pres-
ence of flammable gas and
vapour could cause a fire.
Be careful not to mix up
the various types of fluids
when you are topping up:
they are all mutually incompati-
ble and could damage the vehicle.
1.Engine oil - 2.Battery - 3.Brake
fluid - 4.Windscreen washer fluid - 5.
Engine coolant - 6.Power steering flu-
id.

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.

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
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.
