If the needle reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.The symbols are gradually turned off as the oil level
drops.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit, this does
not indicate a fault or that insufficient oil is present in
the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value,
the display shows a dedicated message indicating
minimum engine oil level and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒when the next scheduled servicing is near, the time
to the next service is displayed and the warning light
õlights up on the instrument panel. When the
service date is reached, the display shows
a dedicated message;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display. When the service interval has expired
a dedicated warning will be shown on the display. ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(for versions/markets where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication of the level of
oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the display
shows the oil level on the first row by turning five
symbols on/off.

(In winter) the additional heater provides heat,
maintains the temperature and circulates the engine
coolant for the preset time in order to ensure the
optimum temperature conditions of the engine and the
passenger compartment when the engine is started up.
The heater can operate automatically when
programmed with a digital timer or manually by pressing
the “immediate heating” button on the timer.
After heater activation, either programmed or manual,
the electronic control unit operates the liquid
circulation pump and ignites the burner in accordance
with the preset, controlled procedures.
The circulation pump output is also controlled by the
electronic control unit in order to minimise the initial
heating time. When the system operates, the control unit turns on
the passenger compartment heater unit fan at the
second speed.
The thermal power of the boiler is regulated
automatically by the electronic control unit depending
on the temperature of the engine coolant.
IMPORTANT The heater is equipped with a thermal
limiter that cuts off combustion in the case of
overheating due to insufficient coolant/coolant leaks. In
this case, after repairing the fault in the cooling system
and/or topping up the fluid, press the program selection
button before turning the heater back on.
The heater can turn off spontaneously due to misfiring
after start-up or because the flame goes out during
operation. In this case, carry out the turning off
procedure and try to turn the heater back on. If it still
does not work, consult a Fiat Dealership.
Activation of the heating system
When an automatic climate control system is present,
the control unit sets the air temperature and
distribution when the heater is turned on from the park
position. When a manual heater/climate control is
present, to obtain maximum heater efficiency, check
that the passenger compartment heating/ventilation
temperature adjustment knob is in the ‘hot air’ position.
To prioritise passenger compartment pre-heating, set
the air distribution knob to the
©position.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case burden the electric supply, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides
suggesting the most suitable devices from Lineaccessori
Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle’s electric system is able to
withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery. The sound system must be installed in the place
occupied by the central oddments compartment, where
you will find the wiring.
For connection to the existing devices
supplied in the vehicle contact a Fiat
Dealership to prevent any problems that could
impair vehicle safety.
WARNING
Take care when fitting additional
spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard
wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation
of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp,
repeated braking or on long descents. Make
sure that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke
(mats, etc.)

DEMANDING VEHICLE USE
If the vehicle is mostly used in one of the following
conditions:
❒trailer or caravan towing;
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving or in the case of long term inactivity;
the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if necessary, restore:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lights (headlights, direction indicators,
hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
To ensure that the vehicle is always efficient and well
maintained, it is advisable to make sure that you carry
out the above operations regularly (approximately
every 1000 km and every 3000 km for checking and
topping up engine oil is advisable).

topping up not to
confuse the various
types of fluids: they are all
incompatible with one another
and could seriously damage the
vehicle.
1. Engine coolant fluid
2. Power steering fluid
3. Windscreen washer fluid

The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
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. 219-220-221
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.

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.
