ENGINE OIL
48)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with
the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN. and
MAX. marks on the dipstick B fig. 241 -
fig. 242 - fig. 243 - fig. 244.
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 fig. 241 -
fig. 242 - fig. 243 - fig. 244 until it
reaches the MAX line.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 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 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.
IMPORTANT Always top up using
engine oil of the same specifications as
that already in the engine.
ENGINE COOLANT
49)187)
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 to low, operate as follows:
❒remove the plastic cover A fig. 245,
rotating the locking screws B fig.
245 counter-clockwise, to access the
filler of the reservoir;
❒slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50%
PARAFLU
UPfrom PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS through the reservoir
filler C fig. 241 - fig. 242 - fig. 243
- fig. 244 until the level is close to
MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection
up to –35°C.When the vehicle is used in particularly
harsh weather conditions, we
recommend using a 60-40 mixture of
PARAFLU
UPand demineralised water.
POWER STEERING FLUID
193)
3)
51)
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.
Proceed as follows:
❒remove the plastic cover A fig. 245,
rotating the locking screws B fig.
245 counter-clockwise, to access the
filler of the reservoir;

BRAKE FLUID
191) 192)
50)
Undo cap E fig. 241 - fig. 242 - fig. 243
- fig. 244 and check that the liquid 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 Carefully clean the cap of the
reservoir and the surrounding surface.
Take great care to ensure that
impurities do not enter the reservoir
when the plug is opened.
For topping-up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal to
or lower than 0.12 mm.
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
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.IMPORTANT
47) 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 car.
48) The used engine oil and the filter
that has been replaced contain
substances that are harmful to
the environment. To change the
oil and filters, we advise you to
contact a Fiat Dealership.
49) PARAFLU
UPantifreeze is used in
the engine cooling system. Use
fluid of the same type as that
contained in the cooling system
for any top-ups. PARAFLU
UP
cannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. If this happens, do
not start the engine and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
50) Avoid allowing brake fluid, which
is extremely corrosive, to come
into contact with painted areas.
Should it happen, wash
immediately with water.51) 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.
WARNING
185) Never smoke when performing
operations in the engine
compartment. Flammable gases
and fumes may be present and
risk igniting.
186) Be very careful when working in
the engine compartment when
the engine is hot: you may get
burned. Remember that the fan
may start up if the engine is hot:
this could injure you. Scarves, ties
and other loose clothing might
be pulled by moving parts.
187) The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary, only
replace the plug with another
original one or the operation of
the system may be adversely
affected. Do not remove the
reservoir plug when the engine is
hot: risk of burns.

188) Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is
essential for improving visibility.
189) Some commercial windscreen
washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains
hot parts which could start a fire
on contact.
190) Do not release the cap from
the extension without previously
extracting the system using the
ring.
191) 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.
192) The
symbol on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
which is different from a mineral
fluid. Using a mineral fluid will
damage the special rubber seals
of the braking system beyond
repair.
193) Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact with
hot engine parts: it is flammable.
IMPORTANT
3) 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.
AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
AIR CLEANER – DUSTY
ROADS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The air cleaner for dusty areas is
equipped with a visual filter block
indication device A fig. 247. Check the
reading of the blockage sensor at
intervals (Refer to the "Service
Schedule" in the "Maintenance and
care" section).

WARNING
207) Use AdBlue only according to DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids may cause damage to the system: also
exhaust emissions would no longer comply with the law.
208) The distribution companies are responsible for the compliance of their product. Observe the precautions of storage
and maintenance, in order to preserve the initial qualities. The manufacturer of the vehicle does not recognize any
guarantee in case of malfunctions and damage caused to the vehicle due to the use of urea (AdBlue) not in
accordance with regulations.
