PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long
journeys, check and, if necessary, top
up:
engine coolant level;
brake fluid level;
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);

system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear screen wiper blades
(for versions/markets where provided);
Every 3,000 km check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING
VEHICLE USE

the following conditions:
towing a trailer or motorhome;
dusty roads;
short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect condition of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel system - brakes)
and rubber elements (boots - sleeves
- bushes - etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
auxiliary drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace

SERVICING AND CARE

NB Carefully clean the reservoir cap E
and surrounding surfaces.
Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the cap is opened.
Always use a funnel with a built-in filter
with a mesh of 0.12 mm or less.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid absorbs
moisture. For this reason, if the vehicle
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
“Service Schedule”.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Check that the oil level with the vehicle
on flat ground and the engine cold is
between the MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir body G fig. 190 - fig.
191 - fig. 192 - fig. 193 - fig. 194 - fig.
195 - fig. 196 - fig. 197 - fig. 198.
The level may exceed the MAX mark
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.

WARNING
132)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
133)When the engine is hot, take care
when working inside the engine
compartment to avoid burns. Remember
that when the engine is hot, the fan may
operate: danger of injury. Scarves, ties and
other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
134)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.135)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid 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.
136)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
137)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Using
a mineral-type fluid will damage the special
rubber seals of the braking system beyond
repair.
138)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
WARNING
40)When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the vehicle.
41)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already existing in
the engine.
165

42)PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. If this occurs, do not
start the engine and contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately.
43)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
44)Do not press on the power steering
end of travel with engine on for more than
8 consecutive seconds, since noise is
produced and there is a risk of system
damages.
WARNING
3)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. Contact a Fiat Dealership to
have the oil and filters changed. They
are equipped to dispose of the used oil
and filters respecting nature and the law.
4)Power steering fluid consumption is
extremely low; if another top-up is required
after only a short period of time, have the
system checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.
5)Used transmission fluid contains
substances that are harmful to the
environment. It is advisable to have the oil
changed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of respecting the
environment and according to legal
requirements.
RECHARGING THE
BATTERY
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is provided for information
purposes only. This operation should be
performed at a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT If a "quick-type" battery
charger is used with the battery fitted
on the car, before connecting it
disconnect both cables of the battery
itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.
To recharge, proceed as follows:
IN THE ABSENCE OF THE
START&STOP SYSTEM
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the poles;
turn on the charger;
when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting the
battery;
reconnect the terminal to the
negative battery pole.WITH START&STOP
SYSTEM
Versions with dummy pole fig. 199
disconnect the quick release
negative terminal A from the dummy
negative terminal B; this is because
a battery status monitoring sensor D is
fitted on the negative battery terminal
C and should never be disconnected
except for when the battery is actually
replaced;
connect the positive cable of the
charger to the positive pole of the
battery and the negative cable to the
dummy negative terminal B;
turn on the charger;
after the recharge, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
