If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil
through the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line. ENGINE OIL fig. 224-225-226
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on level
ground.
Check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually
400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the vehicle is new, the engine needs to be run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first 5,000 – 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on the
driving style and the conditions under which the vehicle
is used.
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.
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 cut in: danger of injury. Pay
attention to scarves, ties and other loose fitting
garments: they might get caught by moving
components.
WARNING
Do not add any oil with different
specifications to those of the existing
engine oil.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil
filter contain substances that may be
dangerous for the environment. It is
advisable to have oil and filters changed by a Fiat
Dealership where they will be disposed respecting
the environment and according to legal
regulations.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 227
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is
cold and must range between the MIN. and MAX.
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU
UPof
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through the filler neck A
until the level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand distilled water
gives freeze protection up to –35°C.
When the vehicle is used under particularly harsh
weather conditions, we recommend using
a 60-40 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand demineralised
water.
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed with any other
types of fluids. If this accidentally occurs, do not
start the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
The engine cooling system is pressurised.
If necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the cap from the reservoir when the
engine is hot: danger of scalding.

IMPORTANT Brake fluid 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”. BRAKE FLUID fig. 229
Undo the cap A and check that the liquid contained in
the reservoir is at the maximum level.
The fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark.
Use the brake fluid shown in the “Fluids and lubricants”
table (see “Technical Specifications”).
NOTE Thoroughly clean the tank cap A and the
surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that impurities do not enter
the reservoir when the cap is opened.
For topping up, always use a funnel with integrated filter
that has a mesh inferior or equal to 0.12 mm.
Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should this occur,
immediately wash with water.
Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected parts
with water and neutral soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. If swallowed call a doctor straight
away.
WARNING
The symbol πon the container indicates
a synthetic brake fluid, which is different
from a mineral fluid. Use of mineral type fluids
will damage the special rubber seals of the
braking system beyond repair.

POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 230
Check that the liquid contained in the tank is at the
maximum level. This operation must be carried out with
the vehicle level and with the engine off and cold. Check
that the fluid level is up to the MAX mark on the
dipstick attached to the fuel cap (use the level shown on
the 20°C side of the dipstick to check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is lower than the
specified level, top up using only one of the products
indicated in the “Fluid and lubricants” table in the
“Technical specifications” section, proceeding as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the level of fluid in the
tank to stabilise.
❒With the engine running, turn the steering wheel
from right to left fully, several times.

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 press the power steering end of
travel lock for longer than 8 consecutive
seconds with the engine running because
it will cause noise and risk damaging the system.
❒Top up the fuel to the MAX level and then retighten
the cap.
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: the liquid is flammable.

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 periodically at a
Fiat Dealership or by specialist personnel to make sure
it is working correctly.
The battery is located inside the passenger
compartment, in front of the pedals. Remove the
protective cover to gain access to it.

When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous and corrosive.
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
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the
service intervals given in the “Scheduled Servicing
Programme” in this chapter will no longer be valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.
Incorrect assembly of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
(alarms, radiophone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you if a higher
capacity battery needs to be installed.
Batteries contain substances that are very
harmful to the environment. It is
advisable to have the battery changed by
a Fiat Dealership, where it will be disposed of
properly and in accordance with the law.

If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at very low temperatures,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place to avoid freezing.
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 vehicle, ensure that the doors,
tailgate and bonnet are closed properly to avoid the
ceiling lights remain on;
❒the ceiling lights must be off. The vehicle is however
provided with an automatic system for switching off
internal lights;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, 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 cable;
❒battery terminals should always be completely
tightened.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains under 50% for
a long time, the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and starting attitude.The battery will also be more at risk of freezing (this can
happen as early as −10°C). Refer to the paragraph
“Vehicle inactivity” in “Starting and driving” if the car is
left parked for a long time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electric
accessories which require permanent electric supply
(alarm, etc.) contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified
personnel, in addition to suggesting the most suitable
devices from the Lineaccessori Fiat, will evaluate the
overall electric absorption, checking whether the
vehicle’s electrical system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even
when the ignition key is off, they gradually run down the
battery.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if the vehicle is
parked for a long period of 5 days, it is advisable to
disconnect the negative battery terminal to maintain its
charge.
If the vehicle is equipped with a battery disconnection
function (disconnector), see the description of the
procedure in the „Controls“ paragraph in the
„Dashboard and controls“ section.
