IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the vehicle is used.
IMPORTANT Always top up using engine
oil of the same type as that already in the
engine.
ENGINE OIL fig. 3-4
Engine oil check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5)
after the engine has stopped, with the ve-
hicle parked on level ground.
Extract the test rod Aand clean it. Then,
put it back all the way down and extract
it again to check that the level ranges be-
tween the MINand MAXlevels on the
rod. The range between the MINand
MAXlevels corresponds to approxi-
mately 1 litre of oil.
Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under the
MINline, add oil through the filler Bto
reach the MAXline.
Oil level must never exceed the MAX
line.
Proceed very carefully inside
the engine compartment
when the engine is hot: risk of burns.
Remember that the electric fan may
start up if the engine is hot: risk of in-
jury. Pay attention to scarves, ties and
other loose fitting garments: they may
be dragged by moving parts.
WARNING
Exhausted engine oil and oil
filter contain substances
which are dangerous for the
environment. For oil and filter
changing, we recommend contacting a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level results
above the MAXlevel after the check, go
to the Fiat Dealership for restoring the
correct level.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level.
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 con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.

AND CARE
The brake fluid is poisonous
and highly corrosive. In case
of accidental contact, wash the parts
with water and mild soap and rinse
with plenty of water. If swallowed im-
mediately call a doctor.
WARNING
The symbol πon the con-
tainer indicates a synthetic
brake fluid, which is different from a
mineral fluid. Use of a mineral type
fluid will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond re-
pair.
WARNINGPOWER STEERING
SYSTEM FLUID
Unscrew the cap A-fig. 8. Check that the
fluid contained in the tank is between the
MINand MAXlevels visible on the reser-
voir. The level may go over the MAXline
when the oil is hot.
If topping up is required, make sure the
new oil has the same specifications as that
already in the system.
fig. 8F0T0081m
Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact
with hot engine parts: it is flammable.
WARNING
Oil consumption is extremely
low. If another top-up is re-
quired after only a short pe-
riod of time, have the system
checked for leakage at a Fiat Dealer-
ship.
