FLUID fig. 180-181-182-183-184
To add fluid, remove cap D by manoeuvring the special
tab.
Pour in a mixture of water and TUTELA PROFESSION-
AL SC35 liquid, in the following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 70% water in
summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and 50% water in
winter.
At temperatures below –20°C, use undiluted TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35 fluid.
Check level through the reservoir.
Close cap D by pressing on the centre section. ENGINE COOLANT fig. 180-181-182-183-184
The coolant level should be checked when the engine is
cold and should be between the MIN and MAX lines on
the reservoir. If the level is low, slowly pour into the reser-
voir filler neck Ca mixture of 50% distilled water and
50% PARAFLU UP (made by PETRONAS LUBRI-
CANTS) until the level approaches MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU UP and 50% distilled wa-
ter protects against freezing down to temperatures of
–35°C. For particularly harsh climate conditions, we rec-
ommended using a mixture of 60% PARAFLU UP and 40%
distilled water.
PARAFLU UP anti-freeze is used in the en-
gine cooling system. Use the same fluid as in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU UP may not be mixed with any other type
of fluid. If this happens, do not start the engine; con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pressurised. If the cap
needs replacing, do so with another origi-
nal or the effectiveness of the system may be com-
promised. Do not remove the cap from the reser-
voir when the engine is hot: you may get burned.
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen washer
reservoir is empty: using the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Some commercial windscreen washer additives
are flammable. The engine compartment contains
hot parts which could cause a fire if they come
into contact with these additives.

INDEXPOWER STEERING FLUID
fig. 180-181-182-183-184
Check that oil level with the vehicle on flat ground and
engine cold is included between the MIN and MAX ref-
erences on the reservoir body.
The level may go over the MAX line when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the oil you use has
the same specifications as that already in the system.Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the system
checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure there are
no leaks.
Do not push the power steering all the way
for longer than eight seconds with the en-
gine running because it will cause noise and
risk damaging the system.
Because it is flammable, do not allow the
power steering fluid to come into contact
with hot parts of the engine.

The battery fluid is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames or possible sources of sparks
away from the battery: risk of explosion or fire.
WARNING
Using the battery when the fluid is too low
can damage it irreparably and generate
a risk of explosion.
WARNING
AIR FILTER/POLLEN FILTER
Have the air filter or the pollen filter replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
DIESEL FILTER
CONDENSATION DISCHARGE
(Multijet versions)
BATTERY
The battery is of the “limited maintenance” type: under
normal conditions of use, the electrolyte does not need
topping up with distilled water.
It does, however, need to be checked regularly at a Fiat
Dealership or by specialist personnel to make sure it is
working properly.
The presence of water in the supply circuit
may cause severe damage to the injection
system and irregular engine operation. If
the warning light comes on, go to a Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.

Check regularly that water is not trapped under the mats
(from dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause
the metal to rust. Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows. Also use
clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or altering the
transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a cloth
in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the
heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units and the relay/fuse
control unit on the left side of the engine compartment
(as you look from behind the wheel). Have this operation
performed at a specialist garage.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After
the wash, make sure that the various protective devices
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol)
or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of
the front headlights.
Never use flammable products, such as pe-
troleum ether or modified petrol, to clean
the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during cleaning
may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
these could explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures of more than
50 °C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight,
the temperature inside can greatly exceed this
value.

9. Air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption (on
average up to +30%). If the temperature outside is not
too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Driving style
1. After starting the engineyou should drive away im-
mediately and slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not warm
up the engine at low or high revs when the vehicle is
stationary; this causes the engine to warm up more
slowly, thereby increasing fuel consumption, emissions
and mechanical component wear.
2. Avoid pointless actions such as revving up when at
traffic lights or before stopping the engine. The latter
action, like double-declutching, is unnecessary and caus-
es increased fuel consumption and pollution.
3.Gear selection: select a high gear as soon as possible
(taking into account normal engine operation and traf-
fic conditions) without pushing the engine to high revs
during the intermediate gears. Using low gears at high
revs to get excellent acceleration increases fuel con-
sumption, harmful emissions and engine wear. PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle condition
1. Have checks and servicingcarried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled servicing plan”.
2. Check tyre pressure regularly, at least once every four
weeks. Excessively low pressures will increase con-
sumption because rolling resistance will be higher. In
these conditions, the tyre will wear and performance
will decay faster.
3. Use snow tyresonly when the weather conditions
make them absolutely necessary. They increase con-
sumption and noise.
4. Do not travel with a heavy load: the weight of the
vehicle (especially when driving in town) and its trim
greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
5. Remove roof racks or ski racksafter use. These ac-
cessories reduce the vehicle’s aerodynamic penetra-
tion and have a negative effect on fuel consumption.
6. It is better to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky
objects.
7. Use the vehicle’s air vents if possible: travelling with the
windows open impairs aerodynamics.
8. Use electrical devices only for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, auxiliary headlights,
windscreen wipers and fan heater use up a consider-
able amount of current, causing increased fuel con-
sumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
